Being from New York where you may not get the best in the world, but very close second. With that…read morebeing said, it's really hard to find good sushi in many places in the world, and I'm really happy that I've found this place. They have authentic sushi where the chef has to prepare and age fish to draw out peak flavor and I can honestly say that the chef here knows his ingredients. I wasn't fan of the Brie cheese and cucumber roll, but everything else was fantastic. If you are in Brussels and are craving sushi, you should definitely check this place out.

Good Japanese restaurant. The boss is really nice and food is good. Recommended. Try the bento boxread more

This has to be one of the first restaurants that I went to purely on Yelp comments…read more The situation was simple, we were looking for a special experience to celebrate my daughters birthday. And of course Teppan Yaki is a perfect recipe to keep children entertained. For me the secret of a good Teppan Yaki place resides in the quality of the ingredients used. As the cooking is as simple as a plancha grill can be, you need great meat, great fish, veggies, etc... Well they got that right at Mitsui, everything is fresh and tender. One that is established the show can start, and even though I have attended a few place like this, at Mitsui the show is good. The beef flaming is absolutely the high point of the dinner. And just to finish on the show aspect of things the carbon ice smoke with the desert is deliciously kitshy but again it belongs with the concept. Taste wise, Mitsui is great, all the sauces work perfectly, the classic soja is there but not oppressive, and the meat and fish are cooked to perfection, even the calamar and shrimp which is not a given. I really recommend this place, don't be put off by the outside setting, inside it's nothing romantic either but it works. And it works especially well considering the very friendly and efficient waiters.

I lived at the Renaissance nearby and had a couple of delicious dinners at Hinodeya. The…read moreatmosphere is really laid-back because the seating area is in what seems like an annex to the owners' actual apartment, so it's a great choice for a casual but intimate meal. I haven't been disappointed by any item from the menu, and I've tried quite a few. Definitely get the tapas moriwase - it's a sampling of unique Japanese appetizers. For mains you can choose from udon, curry, rice bowls, sushi, sukiyaki,... pretty much anything to satisfy your Japanese cravings in the heart of Brussels! Additionally, the owners are very kind. I've called before to ask about hours but I don't think they speak much English, so just look for Hinodeya on The Fork app and book a table there!

OK, so even if this place is expensive (same range as some other high quality sushi places in…read moreBrussels though), it totally deserves its 5-star. Not only will you go to sushi/sashimi heaven, but it is such a joy to watch the sushi chef cut your fish (when you're sitting at the bar). I fell in love with him. Old Japanese man, cutting his fish with all the love he has. He could seriously do it blindfolded. The place itself is very discrete. Nothing too fancy, as well from the outside as inside. From outside, you might even hesitate to enter. However, please do not (if you have the splurge of course). You will not be disappointed. Sushi and sashimi are exquisite, every bite brings you closer to heaven. Offering sea urchin sushis tells you how great this place can be. The non-sushi and non-sashimi dishes are delicious as well and everything that is on the menu makes you want to try it out. We had some appetizers to share: clam miso soup (very good, but maybe really too expensive for what it is. Next time, we'd rather go for this other clam noodle soup that looked succulent, only a little more expensive but a much bigger quantity) and the chawanmushi (flan eel with king crab) which was to die for. King crab was really king crab. Delicious! As for our main course, we had the big sashimi plate and the wagyu beef. Definitely a foodgasm. After that, we still wanted to keep tasting the rest, as everything was so good. So, we decided to order some extra sea urchin sushis (we first wanted sashimi style, but the chef was so nice to warn us that that would be way too expensive, so we decided to stay with the sushi ones) and we definitely did not regret to end our meal this way. Well, we still ordered some ice creams (green tea and black sesame) to really end our dinner and to give us some time to consider already what we could try on our next visit here. I noticed they have some very affordable lunch menus. That should definitely be worth the detour if you don't want to empty your bank account. Anyways, for me, this is my new favourite Japanese "joint", just because I fell in love with the sushi chef.

It is certainly a strong contender to that title. Chef Suetsugu Yosuke has brought 30 years of…read moreexperience as a sushi master in Japan all the way to our plates in Brussels. The restaurant is a favorite of the Japanese community, so be sure to book as it is not big and always very busy. Sushi and sashimi are fantastic. Alone they make this place special, but the rest of the menu simply adds to it by offering a range of delightful dishes which are worth trying. Sit at the sushi counter on a first visit, always nice to see the chef working his magic. Food aside, the place is very nice though unfortunately service is sometimes below average. It is also not cheap, even maybe a bit overpriced, but that is unfortunately common for any good high end Japanese restaurants in Brussels. Parking can be a challenge but bus and tram make their way here regularly given it is next to the ULB university.
