    Why 5 stars: Star…read more#1: Friendly staff who speak Japanese, German, and English! Star #2: They serve Calpis! Not listed on the menu, so you'll have to ask for it. Star #3: Lovely decor. The soy sauce dishes have flecks of gold. There is even a tatami room with the sunken floor. Star #4: Great view of the Swiss countryside. We saw lots of cute cows, sheep, and horses while driving up. Star #5: Really yummy and fresh sushi and sashimi. Unbelievable to find such authentic Japanese food in the middle of Switzerland. Bonus star: Really soothing music in the background, with all my instrumental favorites--Sound of Music tunes, Scarborough Fair, etc. (Yes, I know it's cheesy, but it was the perfect complement to soothe my full belly...) I can confirm that this place definitely deserves its Michelin star. I'm glad that I found a Groupon to enjoy this exquisite meal at 50% off. Only CHF 60 for dinner for 2. :)

    DO NOT come here for the "casual" dining. From the other positive reviews, it's mostly referring to…read morethe fancy "authentic" dining menu that's in another dining area in the hotel- which I believe is what is worth coming here for....not the day time casual menu in non-fancy part. 1. The Buffet for 39.80 CHF- Don't even think about it. In my opinion and the way I perceived it, it was pretty much a couple random dishes that looked like it was left overs from a party. Looked random and not appetizing looking at all. All on plates wrapper with saran wrap. Refer to my pic. 2. The Lunch Menu "Nodate" 45 CHF- This is a bento lunch which was okay. Just okay. The tuna roll was a shock and disappointing as it was cooked tuna. In my opinion, the tuna looked and tasted like it was from canned, refer to my picture. This might not be a fact, but doesn't change that it was indeed Disappointing. The tempura was not crispy fresh...it was a bit soft like it was sitting out for a 1/2 hour...which means it wasn't warm either. The beef was so so, but covered with a super thick teriyaki sauce- if this sauce was home made, in my opinion a lot of sugar might have went in the ingredients because it was super thick- that or corn starch? The sashimi was good, even though it was tiny little pieces. The waitress didn't communicate well. We were looking for some clarity on what the Nodate included and she pointed to the detailed menu and said "All of this below". It wasn't all of the below so our expectations were disappointed when we asked if the dessert was coming. She wasn't clear and she just pointed to the menu waiving her finger around. The presentation was really cute and I enjoyed that. The dishes came out of a Japanese Lunch Carrier thing. But that's about it. If you come here, avoid this restaurant and go to the other restaurant they have, but it's super pricey.

    What a find in Basel! Think of this as Japanese fusion. The staff was really nice and friendly, and…read morethe food was great. I ordered the tuna tataki and the surf and turf, and everything came out great. They have a small conveyor belt sushi on one end of the restaurant and a teppanyaki table on the other. The setup is really nice - sit at the teppanyaki if there are seats available and watch your food being cooked. The portions are generous. The tuna was seared nicely and the sauce was delicious. The surf and turf came with shrimp which had an amazing butter sauce. And the filet was perfectly cooked to medium raw - so tender. Presentation of the food was also nicely done.

    We are visiting Basel from Hawaii after the Viking River Cruise and we were craving good sushi,…read moretempura and a bowl of rice. We were lucky to find HATTORI SUSHI AND STEAKHOUSE right next to our hotel(Radisson BLU Hotel). We were greeted by the owner Nick who made us feel very welcome. The decor of the restaurant had an Asian flair and an ambience that was very comfortable. The restaurant had a moving sushi bar with an array of choices and Teppanyaki U shape counter. Hattori opened 5 Months ago. To start we had the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura and Ahi Tuna Tataki with a Kirin Premium beer. The Tempura was light and crispy with a flavorful dipping sauce. The Tuna Tataki was seared to perfection with the right amount of seasoning and topped with daikon/sauce. The Steak was done medium rare with a variety of sautéed mushrooms including shiitake. It was plated with a nice delicate sauce with cubed gelatin flavored with shiitake mushroom dashi, mirin, shoyu and sake. Chef Alek served us his soft and tasty Homemade bread with a marinated broccoli spread. Executive Chef Alek's creations are so tasty. We ended the dinner with shot of Yamasaki Whiskey which won a world title as best in class and Sweet Umeshu. It was an excellent meal and we felt at home with the friendly staff and owner. We highly recommend Hattori Sushi/Steakhouse and hope you all will check it out. Your taste buds will be treated to an awesome epicurean experience!

    Interesting find in the middle of Lucerne. It beat expectations as I never expect great Japanese…read morefood outside major cities. I was really curious about the corn tempura and was pleasantly surprised that it was whole kernels of corn. They could work on their ramen a bit as it was more like sukiyaki than shoyu. Lunch * Maguro tataki (Great) * Chicken karage (Great) * Corn tempura (Excelle

    If you remember one thing from this review let it be: TOFU DONUT. Seriously, all the other dishes…read morewere good but this dessert was D.A. B.O.M.B. I came here based on a recommendation of a colleague, the service was extremely friendly and swift so no complaints on that part. We started with a bottle of sake and had several dishes, the sashimi was fresh and cheap (to Swiss standards): the tuna on it wasn't very special but I have not seen many sashimi platters which had fresh raw shrimp in Switzerland so kudos to that. Overall the food was of good quality and we were statisfied eating the recommended 3 dishes per person. However, my friend wanted a dessert so I choose a the tofu donut. Initially we were considering splitting since I don't really have a sweet tooth but decided against it since my friend wanted one for herself. Best decision ever. This was the best dessert I've eaten in a very very long time. I know that tofu doesn't sound appealing to most people but this is the most delicious creamy ice cream combined with a scrumptious fritter. My mouth waters just thinking about it. They should rename this place to AMAZING JAPANESE DONUTS and I am sure it would have a line in front of the door. I will be back just for the donut. Recommended!

    Been a few times now. Food is always perfect, especially the Omakasa (chefs choice). Staff are…read moreopen, knowledgeable and attentive without being in your face. Brussel Sprouts are astonishing, even if you do not look them usually. Ambience is fitting with a friendly sharing bar and the music not too loud. Can't recommend highly enough.

    Emailed ahead of time to make a reservation. Food was ok to outstanding, depending on the dish. I…read morewanted to try the Omakasa but was overruled. They recommended 6-7 plates for two people. We ordered 5 and it was too much for us. We wanted the wagyu but the portion was too large so we did the Omakasa add on. The wagyu with the rice was just OK, it needed salt, but it was a bite so you don't find out until it's too late to ask. Given this, I'm glad we didn't order the large portion of the wagyu. The meatball wagyu from the Omakasa wagyu add on was amazing!! It was probably the best thing we ate! It had a black crust of some kind surrounding the meatball and it came with a tasty cream sauce. The shrimp tempura was tasty but it felt a little over cooked. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, they had a spicy sauce and shaved tuna flakes, and they were my second favorite dish of the night. The sea bass was really good. The salmon sashimi was in large poke type chunks and the sauce was too thick for my liking-it was my least favorite dish. Had the best server, he was really attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. His wine recommendation, the Zinfandel, was great!! Excellent dinner in Zurich!!
