Bleh. I think something changed at the Japanese eetcafé. None of the sushi we ordered looks like…read morethe previous pictures on yelp and even when I asked to try one of the pictures I saw he said they don't make it like that anymore. I don't know the whole story but it's different. Just fair warning. That being said the sushi was still all right, but nothing out of this world. It was actually an interesting experience to sit outside eating our sushi in the alley instead of inside. Not many places where you can do that for sushi. The fish tasted fresh enough but slices were on the thin side for sure. Lucky for us the service was fast and he was always attentive of our needs. This was certainly a welcome treat. I can't say to try it or not at this point. I think there are better places to go but this is one in the neighborhood anyway.

How do I love Kaiko? Let me count the ways…read more Really though this is the best sushi I have had to date, hands down. The interior is very quite small and no-frills but the service and especially the food was to die for. The prices reflect that as you may see but if you want to splurge once in a while or for a nice occasion Kaiko is the place. We were really sure what to order so my girlfriend got the sashimi plate and I ordered the sushi set, the big one whichever that was. We even added a few appetizers because we weren't sure what was going to come out and an extra deal, since it's my favorites and it didn't show up in the sushi set. Just really the freshest sushi either of us have had, with perfectly cut pieces and laid out beautifully. We also ordered a few bottles of sake which just were randomly chosen. When she brought them out in these strange square serving bowls she told us to salt the rim. Nothing we had really done before but it complemented the sake nicely. We had a lot of funny things which came out of our mouths that night while the delicious food was going in... After trying the omelette sushi, "every other egg in the world is bullshit". When seeing that they made to go orders, "it's like putting gold into Styrofoam".

I love sushi. And I've had lots of sushi over the course of my life in different states, cities and…read morecountries. Kaiko is definitely top notch (at least in Amsterdam standard). Their nigiri, sashimi, makis are all great. They are fresh, and comes in in good sized portions. However, Kaiko's problem is its server. The lady who works there is absolutely horrifying. She is always mono-toned and I swear I have never seen her smile. Nope, not even once. Not only that, it is practically impossible to make reservations via phone. Not because Kaiko is always full, it's because the lady can't or doesn't want to do her job. When I called to make a reservation one day, she literally said "sorry, fully booked" and hung up. I called back and asked for next availability and it took a good 20 minutes trying to figure out when I can make the damn reservation - I basically had to ask her day by day. Her english is absolutely horrible, and her Dutch is mediocre - maybe she's okay in Japanese, who knows. OR maybe....she just doesn't care and has absolutely zero regards to Kaiko's customers. Even though Kaiko's sushi is great, her attitude totally ruins the whole dining experience. If she's so unhappy and miserable to be working and serving there (from the looks of it), she should probably look for another occupation.

The selection of fish here was a bit disappointing - they just have the basics (tuna, salmon,…read moreunagi, ebi, red snapper). That being said, the tuna and salmon were tasty.

I will have to try Yamazato and see if there is any real sushi in Amsterdam... :-)

They really don't know much about the products they're using and the fish is not good. The hotate was old and slimy and the quality in general was lower than what I would normally accept for something I'm going to put in my body. I don't understand how it's been there so long but I guess it's because the Dutch in general don't understand food and have a very hard time identifying quality in what they're eating. There are maybe 4 sushi places in amsterdam that are worth eating at and none of them are great. Even yamazato is about as goid as your average, walk in off the street, sushi bar in NY or California. Sushi is one of the things I've missed deeply in my 12 years living here and Otaru is a perfect example of why.

Time for sushi.. sushi time! Great sushi and very friendly…read moreworkers! The food is great too, its fresh and tastes delicious, we went there on a Friday, an all you can eat night for 2 hours. Because food keeps coming past you you can pick up anything you like, and there is no maximum of what you eat so 2 hours can be very long, so you have time enough to wait a couple minutes and eat some more. The place is a little hard to find, its inside a huge building, there are no signs inside where to go, but once you find it you'll enter a small sushi restaurant that looks good. If you place your reservation here I recommend you place it at the spinning band that goes around, the table around it have better seats but it's a struggle to get your own food. You have to grab it yourself from the spinning band, and that's not really working because people are sitting there, if all seats are taken there you can't take food without pushing the people away out of their seats... that's a point they need to improve because that doesn't work on a all you can eat night. Also the restaurant doesn't have a toilet, you'll need to leave the restaurant and use the public restrooms inside the big building that the restaurant is located in. It's not far away from it but it's a little weird. For those 2 reasons I gave 4 stars and not 5. But overall the food is great and the people that work there are very friendly. If you visit Amsterdam I recommend eating here if you like sushi!

What time is is?! SUSHI TIME!…read more Come here on Tuesday afternoons because ALL plates on the belt are €2.50! What a bargain - I get excited just thinking about it. Make sure you make reservations or else you won't be able to sit at the bar around the sushi belt and will end up hovering your hand awkwardly behind someone's back while grabbing the plates to bring it back to your table. Or you can ask a waitress to grab it for you.
