Despite the positive reviews, my experience was underwhelming and disappointing…read more First, due to its popularity, the place is serving over capacity. Sure, that's great for the business, but for the customer, that means less attention and a lot of hurrying. Even with a reservation, we were told to be out within 90 minutes. What?! I just got here and you're talking about kicking me out? Not a great way to start... At the table, we literally had 3 minutes to look over the menu before the waiter/host interrupted and told us to go for their set menu (routine of salmon and tuna), which will surely make us "full". What?! I'm not here to stuff myself, if nothing else, at least have some respect for your own food. To buy us a bit more time, I order tea and ask the guy to give us five more minutes. Immediately, he storms off to another table... Luckily, an older lady with more sense of customer service comes to serve us after bringing our drinks. When ordering, to my surprise, neither toro or hamachi were available, despite being displayed on the tabletop menu. We end up going with a few other nigiri and two rolls. The nigiri is nothing special. The fish did not taste fresh or flavorful and there was absolutely no interaction between the rice and the fish. The rolls were surprisingly large. Perhaps due to the overuse of sauces, but again, the fish flavour does not come through. Very very disappointing for a place that seems authentic and masterful in its craft. Final word: I probably should have taken the young host's initial advice and filled ourselves up with the simplest rolls they know how to make. This is definitely not a sushi restaurant, it's a buffet.

The lunch special (bowl of miso, 3 nigiri, some futomaki, and some simple roll slices) was less impressive --- clearly the tail end of the day's prepped rolls, with the rice a little soft for my taste. The fish on the nigiri was still great, and the futomaki were fun (sprouts?), but the plain maki were pretty plain, and the white miso was more crunchy (onion perhaps?) and less flavorful than most of the versions I've tried. Barfüsser claims to be one of the oldest gay-friendly bars in the world ("oldest continually operated", perhaps?). I stopped by during the after-lunch lull for a little sushi --- fine time to try the fish, but it was fairly quiet and didn't get much of a feel for the denizens.

Was too much people at the time, but still More than half full. Over all the service not bad as other said. Sushi combination. Fish was ok. Rice not for me. Maybe it's cultural diff, the rice are too dry and hard. It's not typical Japanese way of making. Not even 50% I say. Yes, I see Asian cheap. But doubt he Japanese. Would really recommend if ur a sushi lover with higher standard. Ramen presentation was pretty. But soup too salty, not much taste. Ribeye steak with white rice. Steak was cook just the right way with good favor. Wonder if I was lucky that day. Rice? Not good at all. Dry and hard. From the 2 rice I ate. That why I say maybe in German they like it more that way. But not for me at all. I say that western cook way of rice. Not Asian.

We went there on a Saturday night for a "romantic" dinner. First of all, it took 10 minutes for us…read moreto get the menus. Second, once we ordered, we were told 10 other minutes after, that our order was not possible since they were out of lamb. We then ordered something else (10 more minutes), finally got our drinks after 30 minutes. And we got served 1 hour after ordering! I ordered my meat through, it was bloody (reverse psychology?) the french fries were burned and smelling like old oil. Once we started eating and since they were about to "close" (on paper - even though the place was still well populated) they played music SO LOUD we could not hear each other anymore (we were less than a meter apart) !!! We asked one waiter to reduce the volume but to no avail. The dessert was some frozen cake that was very hard, too sweet but of course expensive, like the rest. Overall we had to finish in a hurry because we could not take the crappy lounge/techno music blasting louder than in a nightclub anymore. Final check: more than 100€ for that...NEVER AGAIN. if you want to go home early (yes 11pm IS early on a Saturday night, even in a small city like Konstanz) you might want to open something else than an expensive pretentious restaurant with very poor service and a peculiar way to treat customers...

Under new management so lots of growing pains. It was obvious within the first few minutes. Feel…read morebad for the two stars, but I don't want to sugar coat. Service was slow because the the wait staff was new and there was only one sushi chef which was also the manager. It didn't look too good because he was managing the team and trying to teach/call out their mistakes while he was making the sushi orders for the whole restaurant. Another sushi chef came in to help but he was in and out of the kitchen. It was a bit chaotic. The fish quality is good, but unfortunately it gets muted out by the wet rice (need to work on their sushi rice as its too wet, has potential) and the ratio of the rice. The tuna carpaccio (€13.80) sauce was way salty. It was more of a miso sauce versus the vinegar mizu-like sauce. The sauce overpowers the sushi instead of complementing. Usually for me, a sushi house like this is either good with salmon or tuna...not both. For this place the salmon is better. Ordered the sashimi set (€23.60) and came with three pieces of tuna and salmon and four pieces of a white fish topped with fish eggs. Not really worth it. All in all the prices are pricey for what you get and also the rice is not good. They do have potential because the sushi quality is okay. They are in fact under new management. He hopes it'll be better in the new year. At the end of dinner we wanted to pay by card and the waitress said they didn't accept cards for the evening. So we had to run out to the ATM. I said there should be a sign outside for this... She said there was one on the door, so then I felt it was my fault for not looking. But then she came back and said the sign isn't there anymore. Therefore, annoyed. And also...put one up! The wait staff just were so clueless...nice and sweet, but just not on it. The manager/chef was right there and I'm sure he was aware of this, an apology for the inconvenience would of been nice. You can try this place out and see how it turns out as they get themselves together. I probably won't be back as sushi is a novelty around these parts and I want to go somewhere where it's a sure thing (ie. Tatsumi).

Service and food were just okay. We ordered the udon and the sashimi for dinner. The tuna was…read moregreat, and the salmon roe was a surprise, but everything else was okay. The udon was average. We also picked out some items from the rotating conveyer belt including green seaweed, black seaweed, and a roll of salmon sushi. Here is the reason for my 1/5 stars: Each plate you select off of the conveyer belt has a different color indicated on the outside rim of the plate. The menu clearly indicates how much each color plate is. However, there are two very similar yellow plates but the restaurant argues that one of them is green! In fact, the one they think is green is actually nearly identical to the yellow color in their own menu. In summary, this restaurant is scamming customers with this coloring discrepancy. If they clearly marked the colors then this wouldn't be a problem, but I strongly suspect they do this intentionally, and will continue to do so. What a disappointment.

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!

The menu was what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. The service prompt. The place was clean. Maybe it is because I have lived in Zurich for five months where everything seems to be double the price but this little place right over the Swiss/German border seems so reasonable. We had started with Chicken Satay and Spring rolls. The kids liked the chicken satay. Our mains included Mongolian Beef, Szechuan Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken. We had white rice, noodles and egg fried rice. All of the food was delicious but I do have to admit that the Sweet and sour chicken was a surprise hit with everyone. The chicken used was so fresh and clean. The sweet and sour sauce was light and fresh as well. The only downside of the experience was that the restaurant closes after lunch at 2:30. You could tell they were trying to close things out. I could feel the pressure to hurry up and was surprised that when I went to pay, the clock only read that it was 2:00pm (yet some of the staff already had jackets on and heading out door). I felt like double checking what time they closed but didn't really care since I was leaving. All of the food was delicious and we were happy we stopped by. Would we go again? Definately but will have make sure to get the times right so we are not rushed out door.

When I wanted to pay, he would not come to our table, but yell at us from across the restaurant. I asked to settle the bill by card, he harshly replied "no cash?! no euros?! no swiss francs?!" - I pointed out that they have the MasterCard logo at the entrance and thus wanted to use my MasterCard. Turned out, when you want to pay by card it's not "fast enough" for them( I asked him why it's such an inconvenience for them). I figure, they don't wanna pay comission to MasterCard, and by paying with Swiss francs, they set their own (unfavorable) exchange rate. Food was excellent, though.
