Not a good experience at Vox in Berlin. Quite literally the worst I've had in Europe. Food was less…read morethan miserable, and had to ask for wine three times. Glass provided had lipstick marks all over. Charged for sparkling water when I asked for tap. Multiple guests just got up and left because of lack of service, even the waiter came back around four times after they were asked for the checks and did not deliver them. Overcharged me as well and had to ask for another bill, which resulted in a three hour solo dinner which should have been 45. Bummer all around. Also the staff argued with me when I asked for a two top outside out of the sun and insisted on keeping four tops open, of which no one came. Vox needs to learn better customer service :(

We got the tuna and salmon sashimi plus some rolls, all super clean and well done. also tried the tasting menu just for the experience beef tartare was solid, veal with gnocchi hit hard. cocktails were smooth, and the whisky list is wild if you're into that. not cheap but worth it for the vibe and the memories. staff was cool, didn't feel uptight even though it's in a hotel. if you're in berlin and want something upscale but not pretentious this is the place .

The interior of the restaurant is simplistic but also grounded in woody/home-y vibes, which makes it welcoming. Not to be dramatic but I had some of the best sashimi ever here (otoro, chutoro, akami and yellowtail - even though I don't normally like yellowtail). The dishes were carefully assembled and plated, and the servers were very attentive the entire meal. Some dishes stood out more than others, and the ones that were most memorable, I've attached pictures of. I can't remember exactly what was in the dish but the one in the blue bowl included eggplant and changed flavors as I ate it, which was a nice, unexpected surprise. At the end of the meal, the owner chatted with every group to gauge everyone's experiences and feedbacks. Overall, a nice first kaiseki experience.

None the less worth it and a must eat in Berlin.

Takoyaki is a speciality in this restaurant and as simple as that I obviously had to get them. So far these were the best Takoyakis I had in Germany but they are a rare species to begin with. Unfortunately I have one major complaint. The Takoyakis were not fresh and hot. They came out very fast which is surprising considering how long it usually takes to make them. I can only assume they were pre-prepared and finished to order. You could argue that I took pictures but I only needed about 5 minutes for that and all the Takoyakis I had in Japan still burned my mouth even after that time. These here were warm and could be eaten as a whole which I would never do in Japan! SERVICE Lovely service. The staff also explained the different Takoyaki variants on your plate at the table. ATMOSPHERE Small and simple restaurant. I decided to sit at a table outside because I felt it was nothing special. RATING If my Takoyakis were hot and "fresh" it would have taken me back to Japan instantly. I think when you put an item on the front of your menu, you should give it your best even if the customer has to wait. I will gladly wait thirty minutes or longer for hot and fresh Takoyakis. They still get my recommendation!

We got four different kinds of rolls, and both of us got the pink salmon rolls as well. Oh my god, I took one bite and I didn't know what to do with it. The rest of the sushi needed lots of ginger to be eaten with it, and to me, that means it's not a good or fresh fish they are using as it's very fishy. The rolls were super salty, which I don't understand why! The only roll that I kinda enjoyed was the Mama Mia one, as it was vegetarian, but it was still salty. I am assuming the rice is super salty. Would I go there again? Absolutely not, as it's not my cup of tea for sure. I wish I can give 5 starts to the staff but think about my three stars here are a 5 stars towards the staff.

The food is priced relatively normal for Berlin nothing crazy there. I ordered the fried chicken udon, a house made soda and takoyaki. The fried chicken on the udon was fabulous but the broth was missing some flavor it was relatively bland for my taste. I really enjoyed the house made soda. I'd never tried takoyaki before and though many of my friends enjoyed it, it was not something I'd order again. Not the restaurants fault, just my own personal taste. I'd go back to try their sushi!

The atmosphere is beautiful and refined, with a very upscale Japanese vibe that makes the whole evening feel special. From the moment we walked in, the staff were extremely attentive and welcoming. Since we had a reservation, we were seated right away, and our waiter made the night even better. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us fantastic recommendations both for which cuts of meat to order and which sake to pair with them. The quality of the food speaks for itself. Every piece of meat was fresh, perfectly prepared, and cooked exactly how we wanted. The sake pairing took it all to another level. If you're looking for a place in Germany that delivers on service, atmosphere, and exceptional food, Ushido should absolutely be on your list. Highly recommend for a date night, birthday, or any special occasion!

But everything else was immaculate. Prefer the only salt wagyu then in soy sauce marinated wagyu. Every kind of premium was spelling premium on your tongue. Every beef they offered was tasty. Also tried the pork belly which was also nice marinated so that the pork had this smokey unique taste. For side dishes I recommend you to try the karaage and agedashi. Very very delicious!!! For veggies we only picked the pumpkin. Very nice flavor and matched the beef very very well. Fyi: you should book in advance or reserve a table since it's always full. Parking is very hard. This restaurant is more on the pricier side! They have a special grill which doesn't make any sounds unlike Korean barbecue where you can here it sizzling. That's why you don't really smell that strongly after eating. All in all very nice service, super fresh and high quality beef. Worth going!

1909 at ZENKICHI - Japanese restaurant, Berlin…read more We had very high expectations. The place looks amazing, sounds amazing, seems amazing. Every you read about it screams " amazing ". And all the dishes do look amazing. But to me, it didn't taste amazing. I have had lots of Japanese food all over the world. I know quite a lot about it. And this menu had good parts and not so good parts. The amuse-bouche(6 in total) were very nice. Then one dish out of two was very good, the other just medium good. For example, the shabu shabu veal was partially warm and partially still ice cold, so it was obviously not totally dipped into the broth as it should be. But I have to give them the benefit of the doubt on the fact that I am not Japanese and I might not fully comprehend the subtility of some of the courses and therefore misjudge. Still... All in all for 200€ each (392€ bill for 2, we were not fully happy. However I would recommend it for people enjoying traditional Japanese cuisine and I certainly recommend the saké tasting selection which was very nice. And the place looks amazing with all the little alleys and the little dark booths and the excellent service. Oh and DO order the soft shell crab tempura extra. That is always a bliss.
