Minimalist interior, Japanese staff, Japanese guests, and very tasty Japanese food that is worth every cent. I had the seafood salat as a starter and a sushi and sashimi mix for my main. Super fresh fish, very tasty and nicely textured rice (which is really important for good sushi), and good service. I'll definitely come back for some Udong noodles and some grilled dishes.

The food was delicious for me (a noodle soup), though average for my friend (cooked vegetables). Appetizers and desert were awesome too. Overall I can't give 5 stars because of the service: the girls seemed to be busy with paperwork, I don't know if we were unlucky or if this is a regular thing. Still a very good addition to any foodie map. (it seems to be a good idea to make a reservation first - though there was no answer when we tried)

It's a small, quaint shop and has been owned by a very kind Japanese man since 1990; he doesn't speak much English but always gives me a smile when I'm there. There is also an English menu available. There's some non-sushi dishes hand written in German on a chalkboard on the wall. This includes a salmon miso soup which I enjoyed, although I like the sushi a bit more. It's pricy like most sushi places (you'll probably pay 10-15€ to eat), although the presentation is nice and it's of high quality ingredients. I could easily recommend this place if you're looking for sushi in Hamburg.

However…read moreat a restaurant of this quality there are certain standards that should be at least the bare minimum. We had a reservation at 8:30 pm and weren't seated until 8:40 after arriving 10 minutes early. There was only one host working and a line of 5 reservations waiting to be seated. One of these tables happened to get their starter before we had even been given a drink menu (they gave us food menus to start). It took another half an hour for us to get our drinks and put in our food orders. When that did happen, one of the appetizers we ordered was sold out. (I know this happens, but they included it on our bill at the end of the meal). When our entrees did come out, they brought the wrong entree for my girlfriend and she had to wait another 20 minutes for her food (sashimi). All told it was almost 3 hours from the time we were seated until we were able to pay the check. I'm sure some people would not mind not being rushed, but when this length is due to your table largely being ignored and continuous mistakes being made by the staff it is very frustrating. All we were offered was a "we are very sorry! This is not normal. Please give us another chance." I don't see this happening as our customer experience was so poor. The only reason for this being two stars is the food is actually good as well as the ambiance. And although that combination is a majority of the experience the service and professionalism was so poor I can't in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone.

As soon as we were seated, the waitress served us a sample sushi piece as an amuse bouche. First time this has happened in a Japanese restaurant for me as I'm used to edamame, not a sushi roll! We tried the sushi roll and it was actually really good! I would like to know what roll it was so I could order that next time! For drinks, we just ordered jasmine tea and for our entree, we went with the Misaki mixed plate 2 which comprised of 2 special rolls (your choice) 2 nigiri pcs (your choice) about 8 pcs of sashimi, a tuna roll and 4 pcs of shrimp tempura. It's a pretty good deal for only 28 euros. There's also a 48 and a 98 euros mixed plate. The 98 euro sushi boat looked really good! Anyways, for our 2 special rolls we ordered the duck roll and the peperoni roll. For the nigiri pcs we ordered one sake and one hamachi. The mixed plate came out pretty quickly and we enjoyed everything! The sashimi pcs were really fresh. The duck roll was interesting. The duck pcs tasted like peking duck. The peperoni roll was good as well. Not sure why it was called peperoni, it looked like it had tempura asparagus in it topped with salmon? It was tasty though. After our entree, we had plenty of room for dessert and ordered one of each - the fried bananas w/ honey and the ice box which was vanilla ice cream with crepe and raspberry sauce. Both desserts were really excellent. The vanilla ice cream was actually a good addtion for the banana and honey dessert. All in all, we'd definitely recommend this place for their sushi! Everything was delicious and the service was great!

Second big miss: big sushi pieces (lots of rice) but too little of the rest....you taste rice more than fish. Finally not really authentic Japanese. The folks there were super nice but I believe either Turkish or something else Middle Eastern. You could tell from the sushi pieces that this place was made for German palates where it's more about filling you up than delivering high end fish. Sure there is a crowd for this and they obviously like this place. If that's your thing, you'll be happy here. I believe the quality is OK and you could do worse. If you are into good sushi though, you may want to go up a class or two in sushi joint. It really is a totally different eating experience getting higher quality stuff. I don't eat sushi to get stuffed. I eat it for the quality and taste and you're just not going to get that at this place. Again super nice people and they do fulfill a very specific niche but this is not truly Japanese grade sushi.

Ok, before I start this review I have to say that the food is actually good and authentic. However,…read morethat is the only positive thing about this place. Let's talk about the food first. We ordered the pork udon and that was pretty tasty, even better than some of the udon places in California. The pork was flavorful and so was the broth. The agedashi tofu I got tasted good as well, but the portions were so tiny we literally got a cube of tofu per person. Next, my beef bowl was good too! The meat was tender and flavorful. Sigh. The restaurant itself looked so worn down. The chairs were uncomfortable, the walls were bare, and everything just looked like no one cared about it. Our server was the absolute worst part of the entire night. She was slow and when we asked what was in the twenty-five euro bento box she said "I have no idea! What do you mean?" Then we asked her politely if she could find out what was in it, and she said, "what?" By this point I was already so annoyed. When she came back she really put the cherry on top of the sundae was telling us "the bento box comes with salad, a miso soup, and rice of course!" The she gave us a bad attitude when we decided not to order it. Even worse, she hardly came to check up on us, and when I asked her for the check she looked confused again. It was just a miserable dining experience. The prices were very expensive as well. The menu didn't explain exactly what you got, and it was again so old and dirty. For the food alone, this place would have gotten four stars (even with the expensive prices,) but the service was so terrible that I could almost safely say that this was one of the worst nights of my life.
