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.

It was my last day in Kraków and I desperately wanted to try some sushi before leaving. Youmiko…read morestarts at 2 p.m. and I was the first customer ready for "the best sushi ever!" When making the reservation, I wanted to have a nice table, and be sure that I was expected right after opening. The restaurant is tiny. With four small tables at the ground level, and a small room in the basement next to the restroom, it could be a crowded dining experience. The bar is too narrow with uncomfortable-looking seats to be an attractive option, at least for me. I was on time. I immediately noticed that the server had an attitude. She was nonchalant, and not particularly friendly. It was the opposite of any experience I'd had in any Japanese restaurant before. I chose the omakase, which has fourteen pieces / 7 courses. As I sipped a Sapporo beer, I was excited to sample what this place had to offer. The clubbing background tune wasn't the best choice for an early, hot and lazy afternoon. The first bite was the 'European Sea Bass Nigiri'. It was served with way too warm rice. When I picked it up it fell apart. Right after that I got a 'Seared Salmon Belly Nigiri', and again, I didn't like the rice at all. 'The Spicy Tuna Gunkan Maki' was tasty and refreshing. I also thought the 'Salmon Cake' was delightful. The 'Eggplant and Avocado', could be an excellent vegan choice. Next, three pieces of 'Salmon with Passion Fruit Hosomaki' were just fine. The last six pieces were 'Shrimp Tempura Futomaki'. It was very good, but I wouldn't expect that with any omakase. It was just too ordinary and nothing special, plus not what I would order in the first place. Perhaps my expectations were too high and anything other than omakase on the menu would have been more satisfying. Also their rice was a failure. I assume, coming right after opening wasn't the best idea. The price I paid was rather high considering Polish realities. Plus the quality of service didn't help to feel good about the whole experience. I tipped, but didn't hear even a little 'thank you' or anything when I was leaving the restaurant. I'm not planning to return anytime soon.

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 :-)

The new interior looked beautiful in the photos, and I knew I had to check it out. It was a Sunday evening. Spontaneously, without any reservations, I decided to drop by Hana Sushi for a bite to eat and a drink. Well, the table I was offered was in one of the two back rooms, and there was nothing available in the renovated main dining area. It was a shame, because when I entered and left, I didn't see many customers. I craved a combo of 'roll & beer'. The expectations were high. Come on! It's a place recognized by Michelin Guide for six years. Finally, the food. The Rainbow Roll didn't impress. My local place serves better, also less expensive. Possibly, I just didn't like the taste of mayo and wished for thicker cuts of fish, or even slightly more rice (I can't believe I wrote that :). Besides, the presentation could have been more creative. Kirin Ichiban, a Japanese beer that turned out to be brewed in Germany, helped the whole experience along. It was light and refreshing, yet had a pleasant kick. Not sure what more to add right now. The restaurant felt very tidy and clean, kind of stiff. The choice of background techno music didn't help. Plus, I had to listen not so much to a conversation as to the monologue of a guy at the next table, who was trying hard to persuade two teenagers to talk to him. It was strange and awkward. He even commented on me taking photos, as if he thought I couldn't hear him, or that it wasn't bad style to interfere in other people's business :). The "patio room" is just a small glass cube. I'm sure Hana Sushi offers solid, great quality food, but I don't think I would be back soon to check this out. I just wasn't hooked.
