Don't fall for the nice pictures!! Another point is the absolut chaotic biking system they have on hand written paper! Way too small place for the amount of people they would like to put and a very exact deadline of two hours after the booked time to finish, pay and leave! In our case our booked table for 7pm was free ten minutes later, after eating they forgot our second sake order which took them twenty minutes(!), and twenty to 9pm he already asked us to pay! Not cool!

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!

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!

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.

This section of north Berlin is really lively and we found Kyo Grill because of its great reviews…read more We ordered a ton and the value is really there but I thought the food was good to above average. Edamame - warm, soft and lightly salted. Just right. Seaweed salad - standard and good YAKITORI SKEWERS Chicken thigh - good, as expected, just not a head turner Tomato - sizeable and plump. Good charcoal flavor. Zucchini - flavorful and tender but not overdone Shiitake mushroom - regular, needs seasoning Okra - soft and mushy Water chestnut - large sized but then the middle becomes difficult to season - ends up being lots of flavorless water chestnut to chew Chicken meatballs - delicious and well made Nice glaze of teriyaki sauce. Chicken wings - less meat and more work to navigate around the tiny bones Pork - pretty regular Pork with chives - more character - the green onion adds different texture, but without overwhelming the pork flavor Beef tenderloin - good, but pretty regular. Beef and cheese - made with chunks of what I think was mozzarella Lamb - quite overdone and underwhelming - if it's going to be overdone, at least be crispy. Salmon - very tender and succulent. One of the best skewers here, if not the best. Also sampled the Kiyo ramen - nice al dente noodles and good amount of vegetables bathed in a savory stock. Great stop for Japanese that hits the spot. That's all
