I didn't understand her initially but said no. I guess it would have been too much of a scene to ask us to leave, especially since everyone coming in after us had no reservations. Our order was taken promptly, the food again was high quality and delicious. When time for the check, the staff ignored us for an hour. I sent my children back to the hotel after 20 minutes as it had been a long couple of days of activity and travel. I waited an entire hour for the check after others who had come after me ate, paid and left. I could have left cash but wasn't sure if taxes were required and didn't want to pay too little. I drank 3 carafes of water while being ignored. As it got closer to closing and after I had to use the restroom, the manager/server finally made eye contact so I could request my check. If you are black or brown, DO NOT come here. Yoshoku is very close but was completely full when we went. That food looked just as delicious and I suspect won't come with a healthy serving of racism and disrespect.

I've travelled the world and had ramen in all corners, and this place ranks within the top 5 places I've tried. It is right next door to a pho place, and they're run together.

Everything was amazing and we would come back here in a second if in Nuremberg again. Supremely delicious!

The pork spare ribs were fall off the bone with a good char that gave it so much flavor. The steak & pork skewer also came out delicious. I tried the chestnut soup sounds weird but it was so delicious. It was slightly sweet and warm. We also ordered the gluhwein seeing as they won an award last year for it and it was one of the best I had in Germany. I preferred the red over white gluhwein. Staff was friendly.

Spousal Unit and I joined a boatload of friends (literally!) for a Christmas Market cruise on Gate…read more1. (Review of the cruise to be posted separately - but it will be great!). While wandering the old town and it's very nice market (and enjoying abundent gluewhein mit flaming rum) we settled down for a nice lunch at Schlenkerla. Great choice! First, the smoked beer. Not my favorite, but hey, when in Bamberg ya gotta try it. The menu was not extensive but that's not a negative. I think too many restaurants offer too many choices with too little quality. Not a problem here. My friends ordered gulasche soup; a baked potato with salad combination plate (with two "small" baked potatoes drenched with what appeared to be fifteen pounds of butter); very tasty sausage with very, very tasty sauerkraut; and what I ordered: Bamberg style stuffed onion with mashed potatoes. I thought I was being virtuous. I must rethink my definition. The two very large onions were stuffed with a pork/bacon/bread/herb mix then roasted. Delicate taste that paired beautifully with mashed potatoes and smoked beer/beef stock sauce. Wunderbar! Look, I'm not a fan of tourist traps. Schlenkerla is certainly well-promoted to all of the tour operators, but most of the diners were obviously local. The menu was the same for all, as was the service. Excellent choice, and highly recommended.

I came across Kim Sa by accident as I was just walking from work to my hotel and the smell just drew me in.

It was a rainy and cold night in Erlangen so a warm soup definitely caught my attention. I ordered the traditional Vietnamese soup with beef, it was delicious!

It is probably the best flavours I have had at a Japanese restaurant in Germany, to date. It's a decent sized restaurant with two floors of seating. It's simple but tastefully decorated. The waiter was very friendly and quick to serve and answer questions. The menu is quite extensive and there is plenty of sushi, sashimi, yakitori, udon, tempura and other Japanese dishes. I ordered a Nagoya sushi / sashimi combo, miso soup and a soft shell crab roll. We were sharing this across two people and it was more than enough food for that. The food arrived quickly and I loved my miso soup. It was intense in flavour and tasted delicious. The sashimi was of good quality and the soft shell crab roll was crispy and delicious also. The other two people had different dishes and they equally enjoyed their meals. We sent back three empty plates. Prices are reasonable and the quality high. I would definitely come back here again anytime. Great Japanese food that tastes delicious and reasonably priced. Who would have thought eh ? ;-))

Sake, rice wine, that is, doesn't seem to be as available in Germany as in the US. I drank the Junmai. For my German-reading readers, here's the information on their Sake, in German, I'll try to get it into English for the majority of readers of my reviews. If I've committed any typos, please tell me kindly. German is NOT my first or second language, and it is hard. I've tried to put all diacritical marks that belong, in the right places. Okay, deutsch comes in second place, the English version is now, first: Yamadanishiki no sato Jitsuraku / Tokubetsu Junmai Clear, dry and at the same time strong-tasting from 100% Yamadanishiki rice and natural spring water from the Rokko mountains. Due to the particularly gentle and elaborate brewing tradition, this Shochu has its own special taste. Honjozo Namazake Elegant sake with a rounded and at the same time flavor-intensive bouquet. The special feature of this wholesome sake is its wonderfully volatile flavor. Due to the special production this sake tastes as it would fresh from the brewery. Tokubetsuhonjozo / Yamada-Nishiki This sake is made from the Yamada-Nishiki rice field in the Hyogo Prefecture on Honshu. This type of rice contains very little protein and therefore gives a delightfully refreshing taste. The Kyusui spring water used comes from Nishinomiya; also in the Hyogo Prefecture. This sake has a very elegant and exclusive taste, a real Honjozo sake.

I was working in Grafenwoehr for a week and luckily stumbled across Sai Nam (thank you, Yelpers!)…read moreon night one. I say luckily because I went back 4 times over the course of the week. During my Sai Nam binge, I had a curry dish, pad thai with chicken, pad thai with vegetables, spring rolls, and the iced tea. Every single item was absolutely amazing. I got my food to go each time. Even though I didn't call ahead to place the order (I was nervous about not speaking German, however that was silly as all of the staff I encountered spoke beautiful English), I was always in and out in under 15 minutes. Add to all of this how super affordable everything is (all entrees under €10, apps under €5), and you have my new favorite restaurant in Germany!
