Went here after not having gone for a while and whilst the place looks the same, the menu is different and, the prices much higher. There used to be an old Japanese couple that ran this place and that's changed. The waitress was a bit grumpy and wanted to get us out as soon as possible. We did arrive a bit late and it was 45 mins before closing however, no need to rush us out. We were only there for a quick lunch. I had the bento box and at €19 pretty expensive. The tempura was bready and lukewarm. The sashimi was ok, sushi roll was also too starchy and the teriyaki sauce for the salmon was almost as thick as molasses. Maybe they use a bit too much cornstarch to thicken up the sauces. It was the same with the Agedashi tofu. More of a Chinese style sauce rather than the nice broth like sauces you get in traditional Japanese cuisine. It used to be one of my favourites but not sure if I would come back here again. May give it one more try but not sure I would spend a lot of money to get a mediocre experience. It's a shame as it used to be great value with excellent food. read more

3.5 stars. Authentic Japanese restaurant in the Glockenbachviertel. The restaurant is quite small, so if you want to go there, then best to reserve. The service is nothing to complain or rave about. While the food is authentic and flavorful, I find the prices too high for the portions we get. It made ordering difficult knowing that we would have to pay so much yet get so little for our worth. I had miso soup and Wakame soba, paid ~13 € for it, and left the restaurant still wanting more food (and I don't need to eat that much to be full!). That's just not right. read more

OK not fancy but that's not the point. I really enjoyed how unpretentious this place was. Solid sushi and traditional prepared foods, particularly enjoyed the agedashe tofu, soft shelled crab and fresh tako. Everything was delicious and perfect. read more

Place for Japanese food of cooked dishes, besides sushi, It was a cold January evening and we wanted to have a hot pot of ramen somewhere on our way back. Looking around I found this place not exactly a ramen house but with enough variety and close to the U. Upon entering, we saw a group of Japanese business people at the table by the sushi chef. A good sign. Simple decor but a neat presentation even for the drink/tea - good sign #2. Hot towel so you can impolitely(according to Japanese custom at least) wipe your tired face in - good sign #3. We ordered Yakitori to start, and shared two hot dishes: Yakitori - nice cut of chicken(believe it's thigh) and excellent grilled. Only draw back is it's too small. One skewer each leaves me hungry for more! Yosenabe - excellent presentation, and great flavor. A bit too many clams though. Also appreciate if using a bit mushroom like Enokitake. Maguru bibimba - A Korean dish with a Japanese twist. It has nice seared cubes of Maguru(tuna) besides the usual rice and kimchi and vegetables. The stone pot is hot enough to fully cook the Maguru by the time you can eat the rice without burning the tongue:). It could be a bit more spicy like the Korean version but the taste is very nice otherwise. Total with drink for two comes to about €50 - a fortune compared to San Francisco where we came from:-(. Also, hot tea is not complimentary-maybe the norm here but still a bit surprising. Taking one star off for these reasons. We will be back if in the neighborhood. And if the owner is reading this, could you please consider adding Grilled Onigiri and Chawanmushi? We will make a trip just to have those! read more

With a simple setting and atmosphere this place is well worth the visit!! It is unpretentious but the food is amazing! The service was good - however the good took a little long. But this was ok because it was amazing. By far the best Japanese place I've visited in munich. We ordered the gyoza - which felt like they were made on the spot!!! 10/10. Then got 2 tempura udons. Really tasty and the tempura was fantastic. My only negative comment would be that it is a little pricey for it's setting. Highly recommend!!! Next time I'm trying sushi! read more

Such a sweet little Japanese spot. We love coming here to have an authentic taste lf Japan. Shabu shabu must be ordered in advance but is worth the effort and money. tempura is excellent. read more

After my own experiences and those of friends of mine, I'm hereby leaving this statement in the comment section as a warning as well as a reference for all Asians who intend to visit this place. It's indeed a fantastic restaurant with great food and great atmosphere. I've visited twice, both of which didn't disappoint me. The choices might be limited but each dish is well prepared. The price is also considerably acceptable. But I would carry on my decision to give only one star after my second visit. The reason is simple - I was surely discriminated during the service. As an Asian with a great obsession with Japanese food, I've visited an uncountable amount of Japanese restaurants overseas. From the Ramen restaurant in Hong Kong to the sushi bar in London, the first standard for me to choose a Japanese restaurant is authenticity. But even neglecting the rating and comments, I've NEVER received any disappointing service from all these experiences before, until this one. I'm able to communicate in Japanese. At least ordering food would not be a big problem for me and I'm always willing to do so as a respect to the cooks and other staffs. But I didn't do it here even for once. A waitress (I want to stress out the singularity because there's indeed only one waitress who leaves me this kind of impression. My second experience with another waitress was fantastic.) kept showing me her face of reluctance from the moment I stepped in. She had ignored me several times when I made a clear signal that I intended to order/pay by raising my hands and slightly calling out the phrase 'すみませ/Entschuldigung'. But all these signals were deliberately ignored by her. It was only after a long wait that I finally received the service, with her face of reluctance and ignorance all over again. She was not that busy at all because from where I sat, I could witness all of these. A warm farewell did make me better later, but it only happened after I tipped, even all the guests received a better service and at least one smile except me, the only non-Japanese Asian sitting in that room. Not to mention that she hit me against my elbows accidentally(?) several times without saying a single Sorry when she wanted to serve the desk next to me during my second visit. I'm not sure if you would take any further action to respond to my statement, and I have no expectation of an apology from her. Nor would I leave a promise like 'I would never visit this place next time' because she cannot represent other staffs, who didn't leave any bad impression but instead were quite patient with my questions. We're all foreigners who temporary settle in this country on our own purpose. And I'm sure none of us would avoid some bad memories of discrimination. Some regard that discrimination is impossible among Asians or people from the same race, from the same religion or even from the same country. This is simply incorrect. What discrimination really means, is treating someone differently, only because he/she is in some certain way different from you. I'm not a Japanese and I'm almost on my own all the time during the meal in quiet and relaxation. I might tip whoever serve me no matter how badly I was treated. But it doesn't mean I don't deserve a nicer service and respects. I didn't regard it as a big problem at the very first beginning and I assumed that her behaviors were simply out of inattention. But after a couple of friends of mine shared their experiences with me today, we all agreed that she did it on purpose. I think whoever takes charge of this restaurant with great quality should at least be aware that - you have a waitress who treated non-Japanese Asian poorly and disrespectfully. Discrimination against any certain group of people is imbecilic, shameful and pathetic. read more

Don't bother to try if you're not a white German. The whole dining experience was terrible. It was very difficult to communicate in English, it was not her fault, but she showed obvious impatience. She gave me poker face all along although she smiled and laughed to every other German (or white) guests. When we asked for bill she said it was cash only although there's no sign outside. My boyfriend had to walk very far to find an ATM. read more

Food was good, but much too expensive for the quantity. For example: you had to order the rice separately even if you order a highly priced main menue.. wouldn't recommend this place read more

Went there w/ my team. Be surprise of the quality and the style of the food. Definitely plan to go again there. The Japaneses offers where very good. The miso soup was best. Sashimi was on the point. Only drawback is the parking situation, so use public transport or cab/taxi! read more

It's a racial discrimination Japanese restaurant. Just because we are Chinese.When we walked in this restaurant the waitress even didn't say hello to us . But she did very good greetings to German.Just because we are not German. She even didn't bring us any salad or tea until we waited for a long time. Every other German guests when she served a dish she always says please . Only when she served our table she didn't say anything to us .She just threw us a dish. The worst thing is when we paid our meal and gave her tips this waitress even didn't say THANK You! ! She is the worst waitress I have ever had! 这家日本料理店的服务员可能存在歧视华人的现象，我和我老公走进这个日料店吃午饭服务员不仅没有和我打招呼还过了很久才给我们拿了本就该拿来的色拉和水，她对其他的德国客人都非常友好，给德国客人上菜的时候都会说一句请，给我们上菜的时候根本不说请，直接把菜扔给我们，最过分的是结账的时候我们给她钱和小费她连一句感谢都没有直接拿了钱就走。太无语了，到现在这个年代还有这种歧视华人的日本人 read more

Really good Japanese food. Portions are good and atmosphere is very authentic. Felt like I was in Japan. Even gave us the warm towels that is so standard in Japan which I wish all restaurants would do. read more

Food is good. Atmosphere is nice. Service is VERY slow so be careful and plan accordingly. All in all, for the price, a very good Japanese option in a city which offers few of them. read more
