Being from Vancouver, one of the sushi capitals of the world, where you can eat fresh sushi and sashimi like a king for $10 per person, I'm naturally highly critical of sushi places. This is why I don't love "Japanese restaurants" that serve sushi -- I don't want pomp and circumstance with my sushi, I want it to be a little hole in the wall joint that serves up fast, fresh and good sushi without causing my wallet to jump off a bridge. But I also don't want to feel like I have ANY chance of getting poisoned. (Important when you're eating raw fish!!) And this place is probably as close as it gets in Amsterdam.
While I'm not a fan of their liberal use of mayonnaise or their rather Westernized rolls, the sashimi was fresh and delicious, the service was fast and the prices surprisingly reasonable (again, for Amsterdam). A light dinner for 3 cost us about 40€. Unfortunately their sake is *terrible*, but the beer is good :-)
Their primary business is clearly takeaway but they've got a cute little spot on the Dappermarkt with a few indoor and outdoor tables. Decently fast service as well, although they screwed up our order once or twice, they weren't fussy about fixing their errors. Good if you're in the area! read more
