I was surprised to find an upscale Japanese restaurant in the outskirts of Bern at such a random place. When I looked into the restaurant later, I found out that it was promoted on some Swiss television show ("Mini Beiz, dini Beiz") before explaining the owner and his history a bit. I have to say that the experience was enjoyable and the food of the day menu was excellent, and the staff very friendly. Pricey, though, which is fine with me if everything else meets the bill.

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!

He was playing with fire too while preparing our food. Unfortunately my delicious Okonomiyaki was prepared in the kitchen and not in front us! The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxing. The sushi and sashimi were fresh. A Japanese waitress wearing a Kimono was very friendly to us. In general the service was very good. The prices are above average.

There's not much to write here other than the sushi is disappointing in terms of quality and size…read more I've never come across such thinly sliced sashimi-grade fish as the ones served here. I mean, it's paper thin! The selection for fresh fish nigiri and sashimi is very limited. The saving grace is their cooked items. The stir-fried squid was exceptionally good. So if you want delicious and quality raw fish sushi this won't be the place for you. Perhaps this place will satisfy you if you prefer cooked Japanese food.

If you remember one thing from this review let it be: TOFU DONUT. Seriously, all the other dishes…read morewere good but this dessert was D.A. B.O.M.B. I came here based on a recommendation of a colleague, the service was extremely friendly and swift so no complaints on that part. We started with a bottle of sake and had several dishes, the sashimi was fresh and cheap (to Swiss standards): the tuna on it wasn't very special but I have not seen many sashimi platters which had fresh raw shrimp in Switzerland so kudos to that. Overall the food was of good quality and we were statisfied eating the recommended 3 dishes per person. However, my friend wanted a dessert so I choose a the tofu donut. Initially we were considering splitting since I don't really have a sweet tooth but decided against it since my friend wanted one for herself. Best decision ever. This was the best dessert I've eaten in a very very long time. I know that tofu doesn't sound appealing to most people but this is the most delicious creamy ice cream combined with a scrumptious fritter. My mouth waters just thinking about it. They should rename this place to AMAZING JAPANESE DONUTS and I am sure it would have a line in front of the door. I will be back just for the donut. Recommended!

Fortunately, this place was open. The Thai dishes were solid. Started with Thai beef salad, which came in a bowl with very fresh tomatoes, celery, red onion, scallions and beef; it had just the right amount of light spice. Also got the Massamam and Yellow Curries. They were fine, if a little boring. Could have used a little more zest. The space was a bit spare, and felt more like a quick serve restaurant. As such, the 136 ch francs bill was a bit surprising.
