I had the funniest experience because living in the US really doesn't make sense when it comes to word usage. Great service - just language barrier. Coffee 5 francs Bathroom is called Water Closet or WC SO AMERICANS, water closet is the term for bathroom lol. The US had us all wrong. When I asked where is the bathroom or restroom located? Host had no idea and told me they are not a hotel.. so therefore they DO NOT have a bath-room or rest-room. WATER CLOSET

Since there are no reviews in English, I figured I would be the first. I would love to tell you what I ate, but the menu was in German. My German is non-existent so I'll just tell you the ingredients: chicken, possibly bacon on top, asparagus, rice, and white sauce (not sure what it's made of but I'm sure it had tons of milk and butter because it tasted like heaven). I also got the soup. That was good too. Can you believe i ordered this message using Google translate? I got lucky.

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 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!
