It's a small Asian restaurant, only a few tables so when you wanna come in the weekends, you should make your reservation. During the week you can walk in whenever you want, they'll fit you in. I always come here to have Endamame and Sushi Combo A or B (depending with how many people I am). The combo A really hits the spot when you are by yourself or it's just you having sushi. The menu says 18 pcs but trust me... They give a lot more which is awesome! Same goes for the combo B... The bridge is huge and it has over 50 pcs on there i guess. It's also pretty neat that they give you handrolls and tempura shrimp on this combo All by all... one of the better sushi/Asain places 't Zuid has to offer for reasonable prices One tip: in the winter, bring a jacket because there might be possibility there's a small breeze going through the restaurant

We ordered an entrée to share (lollapalooza scampi) which looked and felt more like a dish than an entrée (very filling too, even for two). For a main dish, we took the thai beef salad and chicken red curry. The beef salad was AMAZING. Chicken curry was good, but nothing exceptional. I would definitely go back, as there were many intriguing dishes on the menu ;) Staff is very friendly and helpful, atmosphere is cozy and romantic.

Lollapalooza is ge-weld-ig lekker eten én veel én lekker én.... Ondertussen drie keer geweest en drie keer naar huis gegaan met een gevoel van 'man, ik heb zalig gegeten'. De kaart is beperkt maar wegens mijn passie voor exotisch eten en de lekkere keuzes, is het nooit evident om een gerecht te kiezen. Enorm handig is hun aanduiding wat betreft pikantheid van de schotels ("eet" "eel eet" enz...) Hier kan je je niet verslikken! Snelle bediening, knusse omgeving (veel rode en kleuren en grote muurschilderingen), enig nadeel is misschien dat je wel degelijk moet reserveren. Aanrader!

Camino? Camino is a trendy lunch place in the centre of…read moreAntwerp. Location? You can find it a little hidden from the main shopping streets where it's nice and quiet and where there ar no cars. On the Vrijdagsmarkt you can get a lot of sun - woop woop! So the location for me is perfect! Accomodation? If the weather is nice, they set up their big and colorful terrace. So hurry up to install yourself there during lunch or in the afternoon for a coffee/tea. Food? Pretty nice and original! Big portions, a lot of variation, veggie stuff available. They have sandwiches for lunch but unlike other lunch places, they offer combinations of coriander, cajun and other less traditional spices. Apart of that they also serve suggestions (which are a little more expensive, +- € 14) Price? It's ok, you pay around € 8 for a sandwich and a little more for something special. Drinks? Enough variation and some homemade stuff! And they have some beers from the tap which I can really appreciate as a Belgian girl :) Service? We were served by a good looking and very friendly guy! The girl was also pretty and very friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food and drinks. I'm definitely going back here.

I've been wanting to visit Camino after I received a tip from another Yelper about their bánh mì's…read more First of all - expensive! 9 euros for a bánh mì, not including my drink? In America you could have 2 sandwiches for that price. But it's okay, Camino was trendy and cozy, and I was there with my sister-in-law, so I didn't mind paying a bit more. I ordered the glazed pork belly and she went with the lemongrass chicken. We tried each other's sandwiches and I by far made the better choice. So if you go - definitely order the glazed pork belly! The meat was the best part of my sandwich. I didn't like the bread - it was really soft. By the time I was finishing my second half, the bread was soggy. Like mentioned in other reviews, solid effort, but for that price I expected much more. Also - it's 2015, it's really irritating that they don't accept cards!

Loved Kioku! Didn't have that high of expectations since I…read moredidn't read up on it prior to my visit, but it was great all around. Ordered a variety of sushi dishes as well as noodles, and everything was delicious. The restaurant inside is nothing to fancy but nothing to drab either. Waitress quickly got us a nice table for our party of 8. Menus had english text as well which is a good touch since many of us do not speak dutch. Asked for tap water, which many restaurants will commonly ask, and they responded with "sorry nothing free" which I thought was not the right way to respond, but that's not my only complaint. As a party of 8 dropping over 100 euros, there could have been a politer response. Aside from that incident, the food was awesome. Came out rather quickly and sushi came as a starter. Expect to spend around 15 euros per dish. As one of our guests was a "sushi snob" so to speak, he said this sushi as actually very good quality and spoke highly of the rice that was used. A good experience all around and they do accept credit card which is a huge bonus. So much to do in the area and with all the restaurants nearby to decide on, if you like sushi and japanese, give it a shot!

The beef tasted as it was beaten to make it tender. The fish had strong oily scent and taste. What was peculiar is that the plates were served with a cover, like the food needed to be covered up? In any case, I would not recommend this restaurant in particular when taken into consideration the steep prices.
