I've been to Krakow several times and tried sushi in a number of places; similarly in Warsaw. Zen…read morereally sets a very high standard. The sushi chefs are exceptionally considerate in their preparations and I've yet to encounter fish here that wasn't fresh which is not at all the case on several other places I've tried in the area. At the end of the day I eat sushi more often than anything else and I travel extensively. Zen is easily on part or above most top end sushi place in terms of prep and clearly at the top of the list in Poland regarding ingredients... this isn't the fish market on Tokyo (where I ate last week) but for Europe it's great. Also be sure to check out their little Japanese runs upstairs. I didn't even realize they were there until yesterday. Wow... I just some people to do some private dining with... anyway enjoy this place. I will continue to.

Edo fusion stands out as a great place for Asian food in Krakow. The interior is beautifully…read moredesigned and is an elegant place to sit. The food is well prepared, nicely served and usually pretty tasty. The choice is really extensive and covers various Asian cuisines (Japanese, Thai, Korean, etc). I always have a feeling that it is expensive though and I am not sure that it is a deserved opinion. The menu is so tempting that I always want to order about 10 dishes (excluding sushi) which would be very expensive so I don't and feel like it was too expensive, even though I wouldn't be able to eat it all. Main courses could be a bit bigger though, even if it was just more rice. Memo to self: order a big binge feast there sometime with at least 10 dishes and take a hungry friend.

Excellent Thai food in Krakow! We did not order Sushi but ordered off the Fusion menu several…read moreThai dishes. We liked so much we returned a 2nd time, our only repeat meal over 2 weeks in Europe! We had two types of Curry, Panang and Yellow, both were great. We asked to substitute Chicken vs the Shrimp or other meats shown on menu with those curry and they accommodated without any fuss and charged us the lower price for Chicken (vs Shrimp) without even being requested. The Thai Soup in Coconut base was excellent as well. The Chicken Kapungi was surprisingly deep fried which we didn't get from the menu - tasty but we wouldn't get that one again. Chicken Skewers were very good. Prices reasonable including the drinks. Highly recommended. We didn't try the sushi from that menu, it was a bit higher priced (for Poland) but I am guessing top notch based on the restaurant but we didn't feel it worth trying that on this trip given we have access to great Sushi back home.

The pumpkin croquettes were served with sweet plum sake and we're really tasty. The mushroom ceviche much less so. Brussel sprouts grilled and served with an Asian sauce and puffed rice were unusual but good... The bowl of hot soup with Udon was delicious, I had sweet tofu skin in mine, my companion had tempura vegetables. Filling but not overly so. We each had two flavors of ice cream, the coconut was excellent, the cherry only ok and the Matcha was, well, grassy. If you are a fan of Japanese food you'll like it!

After hearing many positive comments from fellow Yelpers, I decided to give Tao a try. For lunch I…read moreordered the tom yum Kai and the pad thai. The soup was excellent. The pad thai on the other hand was rather disappointing. The noodle was cooked in a wok that obviously lacks the necessary firepower. It failed to caramelize the sugar in the sauce, so the dish didn't acquire the characteristic taste. On the plus side the portion was large. Despite being unimpressed by the food, I had a positive experience at Tao overall. Firstly, that's because I got to drink a beer on a swing. Second, the beer showed up accompanied by a big bowl of wasabi peas--and I love wasabi peas. Third, there were bunnies in the garden. I'll definitely come back again another time and try something else on the menu. The ramen looks pretty good.

Inside I tend to sit (or rather kneel) at the low table in a nice little curtained-off "booth" overlooked by a buddha. The whole place is beautifully decorated and the calming music and efficient service will ensure you leave the restaurant calm and having achieved inner peace with yourself. The sushi here is fantastic. I usually opt for the 26 piece samurai set (there are cheaper lunchtime deals at an even more reasonable price). Desserts are nice. There is a green theme going on here, you can order such delights as green tiramisu, green creme brulee and green lemonade. If you're not into sushi there are other options, I quite enjoyed the ramen burger, a normal burger but with a bun made of noodles instead of bread. To sum up, I love this place.

Delicious!! It was better than I hoped it would be. We would absolutely return to try more menu…read moreitems. It's located in Old Town on Szewska Street surrounded by historic tenement houses. I bookmarked this restaurant before leaving Tampa because of its authentic looking Taiwanese menu items. It was such a treat to finally try this type of cuisine. It's a self-service restaurant. Just find a seat, browse the menu, and order at the counter. They'll buzz you when it's ready. It wasn't a busy time of day (about 2pm). They actually brought everything to our table. I'm not sure how it works when it's super busy. Our tea drinks were the first to be delivered. My Lychee Green Tea was so refreshing. It had lots of lychee pulp, and definitely very natural. My husband actually liked his black tea. He's not usually a bubble tea drinker so the tea with no boba was perfect for him. We both ordered the Taiwanese Wonton Soup with pork. He decided to go with the menu suggestion of spice level 2. He was very happy with the spice. I added a few drops of Papa Lee's chili sauce to give my soup a little kick of heat. It really does make it more flavorful. The wontons were absolutely delicious & tasty. It was an amazing amount of pork filling. The noodles and wontons are definitely homemade. I love that there was a good amount of bok choy and edamame as well. It was comfort food at its best. I'd order the exact same thing all over again in a heartbeat. I'm kicking myself for not trying the fried chicken. Maybe next time. The atmosphere seemed authentic as well. The shared tables are separated by table dividers. I really like that there are handbag hooks on the wall. That's a nice touch. The backless triangular bar stools are very uncomfortable. That is my only gripe. Why not invest in Japanese ones? Unless it's meant to be that way so that people don't overstay their welcome. Otherwise, the staff were all very polite and service (for self-serve) was great. I thought it was affordable compared to what we pay in the US. Try it for yourself if you happen to be in the area.

Selection of indgredients, granularity of rice, fresh vegetables and fish, esthetics of cutting and rolling. It is important not only to like the sushi itself but also to like preparing it for others :-) not to mention the way it is presented on the table afterwords. Sushi is also one of these dishes that you can order and eat in a restaurant and also feel good about it :-) NINE kitchen is that kind of a restaurant. I was really surprised because I haven't felt this kind of sushi taste in a restaurant before. It was like as if they really liked making these rolls and it was made with passion. Rice wasn't dry, ingredients were fresh and tasty, wine was delicious and I am talking about as simple as it gets (it was a simple japanese plum wine that you can get in Alma). What is also surprising is the price, I don't quite remember what was it actually but it was about 20 zlotys to get a very decent portion of 2-3 types of maki and a complimentary nigiri + all the other suplementary parts like wasabi, soy sauce, ginger etc. The interior of the restaurant is very pleasant, everything was the way it should be and just fitted together. I was there with Lawrence and another girl from the US and we even had a little chat with the owner. She lived in Canada for couple of years and apparently liked eating and making sushi there. What she says and I agree that sushi doesn't have to be so expensive to be good. My personal opinion is that sushi in Polish restaurants is overpriced without any apparent reason. Probably the owners think that it is so special and uncommon that it needs to be expensive. Well.. it doesn't and NINE kitchen is a proof of that. I will definitely come back and I will bring people there :-)

I really don't understand why all the people who come here expecting high-end Asian food and then…read moregive bad reviews when their expectations aren't met. I mean c'mon, you are in Poland, you can't expect to get Tokyo quality sushi or shabu shabu. We needed a break from streak of Czech/Polish food tour, so we opted for a Japanese night. We got the shabu shabu dinner set for 2, ordered extra mushroom and udon, overall cost was about $55 per person, which is definitely on the higher end, but the meal helped me to reset my taste bud for more Polish meat and beer later. The food was not amazing obviously, but also not terrible. I find that their tofu was very underwhelming (a little too fermented, so tasted a bit too sour for me), but everything else was pretty standard. The beef is not wagyu quality, but was quite tasty with the sauce. I wish their udon wasn't pre-cooked, but it did taste quite good nonetheless. Overall, Krakow fall weather is quite cold, so this was a nice warm meal that went along with the season. By default their pot is split pot. I wish they only had a single pot because the spicy half was totally wasted on us since neither of us can tolerate spice. Sake was nice, but wish they had warm sake as an option. Ambiance was very Japanese-like with classic Japanese decors. Waitress spoke English and was very attentive to our needs. She refilled our broth multiple times. Overall I would come to this place again if you are craving Asian food in Krakow. But don't expect this place to be like California or Tokyo because you are setting the Asian food bar way too high in Eastern Europe. I had a very nice dinner here and got what I came here for. Definitely a nice break from multiple days of Czech/Polish cuisine.

Well, I had high hopes and while the owner was nice, the staff still needs more service training as…read moreI wanted to try sushi and shabu but was told there were no induction stove top tables available. They didn't even give me an estimate on how long it would be if I would be willing to wait. So I gave in and sat at the sushi bar. The salmon toro was delicious and super buttery. The ramen and dumplings were just good but nothing extraordinary as I would probably not order the dumplings again. The other rolls I ordered were just okay but I'm used to higher quality sushi places. The place is clean and the servers are nice. Since I didn't speak Polish, there was a gap in communication so that's my fault. Service: 3 Food: 3 Ambiance: 3.5 Owner: 4 Overall: 3.25

A business contact suggested this place for lunch when I asked for a place with good vegetarian…read moreoptions. He said it was an award-winning restaurant which mainly served vegetarian food. I found it *a bit* off that the restaurant sign said "vegetarian restaurant" with that in mind. It turned out that it was indeed a vegetarian/vegan place only but the food is so good (as it should be) that the guy in question had been eating at Pod Norenami several times thinking he had eaten chicken and other meat when it had in fact been tofu. I couldn't stop laughing about his surprised look. So please leave all your silly prejudices about how vegetarian or vegan food taste by the door and just enjoy the amazing menu here for what it is, really great plant-based Asian food for all senses. The dishes are generous in size, the prices great and the interior lovely and rustic. Don't miss the cute, large dragon in the window!
