Ku Kitchen & Bar in De Weteringschans

Lovely Japanese food. I recommend it.

Abiro Salmon was perfect the caviars on top of the serving was put on fire by the light of the waitress. We also tried California roll which was served hot. Veggie tempura was good too. The staff was very warm and friendly

Fantastic experience. The food is super ultra duper delicious. Not only is it tasty but the scenographic is also cool! I think it’s my fav spot in Amsterdam to have a high quality sushi and meat. At the end of the visit we also ordered espresso martinis (one regular and the other creamy - spiked with baileys) and some sweets. As a person with gluten intolerance, I was extremely happy that I was assisted to make all the choices for my gluten free meals. 💖

Would recommend and would definitely come back.

Great experience. Delicious food and very friendly staff.

What a fantastic place with lovely staff. Delicious cocktails!

We were allowed to sit at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. The service was excellent, and the bartenders did an incredible job! Many thanks again to Hero for the spontaneous and generous sake tasting! We really appreciated it and will definitely visit the bar again on our next trip to Amsterdam :-)

Amazing Japanese restaurant. We went three times out of the four nights of our stay. Delicious food. A tip: sit at the bar rather than at a table; you'll have the pleasure of chatting with the very friendly staff who will be happy to advise you. JEF and SONIA

One of the best Japanese cuisines I've ever tasted.

The most amazing dreamy place <3

This guy, AU. Best waiter in Amsterdam. Service was 10/10. Food was insane. Nigiri 10/10. Oh and the Ribeye. Just the best.

Super delicious and original food. Unfortunately, the grumpy service (if she even came to help) really dampened the mood, and I'm not planning on going back. We noticed she couldn't even crack a smile for other customers, and everyone was left thirsty with empty glasses. She was, however, quite cheerful with her colleagues.

The food was really great and the staff very friendly, definitely recommended!!

Food was pretty decent but the serving size was not great. The main problem was the amount of time for them to serve the orders, and missing several orders which need to be reminded

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam. Great cocktails and bento boxes, particularly great for vegetarians.

Had a wonderful evening at Ku Kitchen! I celebrated my birthday with family. The food was delicious, varied, good quality, and very fresh. The atmosphere was super relaxed, and the service was spot on. The staff were very friendly and attentive, including the manager, bartender, and waitress, who replaced dropped chopsticks faster than I knew. Fantastic!!

It's so loud. Everyone's screaming. It's impossible to be here... We left.

Each menu item prepared with care and taste. Delicious

Some of the best sushi and Japanese dishes in Amsterdam. The Miso Ribeye and Wagyu Sliders were 10/10, highly recommend!

Great Japanese Restaurant with a selection of high quality Sushi dishes. Ideal for a date night or with group of friends.

Literally can’t speak highly enough of this place. The sushi was the best we’ve ever had and it was such a beautiful, cosy atmosphere. So good we are going back again on this trip!

Great food and atmosphere! Friendly & fast.

Food is super good!!! 😭 vibe is chilling and we enjoy that a lot! Also the girl who served us is quite lovely and sweet 🥹 thank u so much to show such sweetness to my broken leg, that truly made my day. :)

We enjoyed an excellent meal at Ku Kitchen. After being warmly welcomed we were shown to our table. I chose the seafood bento with a Japanese rice beer, both were excellent and the bento in particular was great value. If you're looking for a fun and relaxed Japanese restaurant it's well worth trying Ku Kitchen.

We had an amazing experience, the owner is a lovely host and the food is absolutely fantastic!! The ambience was also really nice & we had one of the best espresso martini’s everr 🥰

Great food, the Sushi is super authentic and the ribeye steak was perfect too. Will definitely return.

Food is amazing. So fresh. The nigiri melts in your mouth 10/10 reco

Best dinner we had in Amsterdam. Great staff, delicious food, amazing atmosphere.

The food was of excellent quality, and the cocktails were also excellent. The table service was excellent and fast, though we would have preferred a bit more attention from the staff. But with only two people serving, they did a fantastic job! Kudos to the Korean lady with her beautiful smile.

Great sashimi and sushi. Highly recommend. Good value for money and great for a family

I had a wonderful meal here, and every time I'm pleasantly surprised by the chefs!

Returning monthly for the past 5 years. Amazing food, ambiance and staff. Hiro is amazing!

Great sushi in a cute little restaurant along with some sweet fizzy sake and some Japanese fried chicken.

Had a wonderful dinner with Ku kitchen and their amazingly friendly and attentive staff. The menu was a little limited but the options are a 10/10, especially with a sake pairing. All in all a very nice experience which we will definitely remember !

Great food and fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend the sliders, delicious!

Very nice place that reminds me a bit of Japan. I think the owner is Japanese, very kind, as is all the staff. I recommend making a reservation because it's always busy. I had fabulous sushi, highly recommended.

We had great food and good service.

I am so glad I visited Ku Kitchen. The sushi was some of the best I have ever tried. I highly recommend getting the aburi sweet miso salmon. We ordered 2 lots because it was so delicious. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. I would fly back to Amsterdam just to visit this restaurant again.

We had a very nice dinner today. The food is very good and tasty. The onsite ‘torching’ of the Shushi dish was very creative and unique experience for me. The ribeye stake with miso sauce was amazing too. The service can be a bit better, I think the restaurant is short stuffed and the limited stuffs are running and working very hard to meet the demand of their customers. Overall a very nice experience.

First night in Amsterdam and came here for a late night dinner. The food was very good, the wagyu slider, torch scallop and oyster were my favourite. Nice cozy spot with good vibe.

Nice food. Good beer. Nice staff.

Very good ambiance with very good and tasty food, definitely recommended

Ku Kitchen is my go to for Sushi in Amsterdam. It's not cheap (20 euro minimum for a sushi roll of 8 pieces) but the food is always excellent. You must book in order to get a table, i've never been able to get a walk in. Service can be hit or miss, a few times we have been waiting a long time for drinks to arrive, and food can sometimes come before, which personally i really don't like. Will always go back due to amazing sushi, but maybe only on payday!

great experience, food was fantastic and the service was also very good

Hiro was the best! Very friendly guy with a very good service! The food was different but reallly tasty. I will recommend this to everyone.

Amazing cocktails and excellent service

We have had a lovely tasty dinner at Ku Kitchen the other evening. Food was indeed good as expected. The down part was the “fast food speed feeling” : still having a bite in the plate and personal was already at the table to pick the plate and ask if other things are needed. Understand the need of turning the tables fast per evening, but that hurry hurry part gave the feeling of time pressure of ending dinner shortly after beeping served. We have stayed little over 1 hour. ( we were 3 persons). No second drink since feeling of speed up was integrated in decor. So ok … but … not really dinner feeling restaurant.

The sushi here is next level, it’s a must try for sushi enthusiasts Didn’t try the sake, but have heard it’s wort it Would recommend this place for authentic sushi

Great food, drink and service. There are vegan options. The only downside is that if you sit at the high table and chair, it’s not very comfortable and the space is small. Water for 8€.

Such a rude and unprofessional staff! I am sorry for this restaurant for choosing such a guy for welcoming the customers!!!

We ate one of the best sushi in Ku. It was fun, and had a great atmosphere

Fabulous Japanese joint, great selection of Sake and amazing food.

The food was incredible. Amazing location and the drinks were phenomenal if I could give it a ten I would!

What a lovely place. Very delicious sushi and sashimi. wagyu burger is a pleasant surprise. Staff is super friendly. Since we were with a small baby they hosted us so good and arranged everything so well I was very impressed. Thank you Ku. It was the perfect start to our Amsterdam trip.

Excellent sushi, Waygu slider burger one of the best of all time!

Very tasty rolls. Friendly atmosphere.

The service from Hiro San was outstanding and the food&cocktails were amazing! Had the best evening to celebrate my birthday with friends. Would definitely come back here! 10/10

Celebrated my sisters birthday here last weekend. Great service, very kind people, and great food. I appreciated that my allergies were taken seriously. We had a great time! Will return for sure!

Great food, great service, great evening

Top japanese food, good wines, nice, friendly service. Recommendation.

Excellent sushi and other japanese dishes. The sashimi sets are recommendable. Minus one service point for constant complaining of the barkeeper about the bar not being cleaned up by the previous shift and then adding a bottle of sake instead of one drink to our bill.

The food was simply amazing! Only negative thing is that they charge a bottle of tap water 8€! What?

beautiful restaurant, delicious food and sweet service. 10/10 experience!

Amazing food in a lovely atmosphere. With friendly and helpfull staff. A gem in amsterdaam

The food and service were way above what you'd expect for the price. Great vegetarian and vegan options. Try their grilled avocado!

The best Japanese cuisine I've ever tried. Sashimi, sushi, tuna and all other things served perfectly fresh, as well as very friendly service. Worth to visit for sure. Asahi beer, bentobox and 1 oyster = ~50 euro. Update: few days after 3 of us got sick probably after oysters. 4th person didn't eat them and feeling perfectly fine, so I blame oysters. Restoraunt handled that case and offered us a good benefit. Other than that all was amazing

Delicious food. Friendly service. Only downside the noise.

The food was delicious and we loved the service, although the food takes a little while, the waiters are very friendly…The Wayu baos are exquisite!

Food, very elaborate and very good product. Attentive, friendly and helpful service. The place is small, but very nice…

Delicious menu. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly and accommodating staff.

Perhaps my favorite sushi in Amsterdam. Cocktails are also super delicious!

We ordered maki, nigiri, tempura mix and oysters. Everything was delicious. Will go there again definitely

Overall it’s a good place to go. Not very authentic Japanese food. Should have been adapted to local taste.

Maybe just us, but we felt the quality of the food was pretty mediocre, except for gyoza, they were over-fried. The staff were nice, but the food should be the key for a restaurant.

Recently ate here with a friend of mine. One of the few restaurants in Amsterdam where almost every item on the menu is delicious. The sushi here is amazing! But don't be fooled, the other dishes are great too! It can be quite crowded. Nonetheless, definitely a visit worthy if you are in town👍 Recommendations: - The salmon flambé nigiri🥰 - The seasonal salad💦 - (V) The vegeterian Ku sliders are a great choice for a main if you do no eat meat🌱

Excellent service, very kind and attentive staff. Food is great. We got the sticks and sushi tasting menu for 2, and everything tasted great. If you’re a sushi fan, I’d heavily recommend the sashimis, they clearly have high quality fish. Pictured is the miso pudding (also delicious). Atmosphere 4/5 because I’m not a fan of shared tables.

This is hands down the best sushi and oysters in The Netherlands. The owner works behind the bar and the staff are so friendly. Will go back on every trip.

Not a good experience at all, specially with the service and the quality of food. A very annoying waiter together with (unnecessarily) deep fried food dripping oil. Had been here a couple of times before and felt this time around the quality of things had rather gone down. Would not return here, surely

Great Food with great Service. Absolutely wirth it!

Nice and high quality food, good service, sweet cocktails. Worth visiting if you around.

Delicious food, staff were great (details such as putting the flowers in the water, helping with a fallen coat, giving advice on which cocktail) and we had a very pleasant evening.

If you are looking for authentic sushi where flavors, supreme ingredients and craftsmanship is displayed at its best - look no further! Ku kitchen is placed in the heart of Amsterdam and is easily accessible from any part of the city. The interior is clean, modern and yet still has the Japanese warmth of a local restaurant. The food is excellent and the ingredients are carefully chosen and put together. The miso marinated rib-eye was a wonderful suggestion and prepared perfectly. Make sure to not miss out on this one!! Our host was very friendly, expedited our order quickly and made our evening wonderful! One of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had!

Food is good but overpriced for the facility and service

Amazing food friendly staff, recommended!

The place is very cozy, and the food is super fresh and perfectly prepared. The highlight of our visit was the excellent and friendly service provided by Hiro. Definitely the best sushi in Amsterdam!

Reason for 4/5 stars only because it took quite a long time even to get drinks. However, after getting our food and drinks, everything were perfect! Maybe one extra waitress could help to tackle this bottleneck😏

+ Mouth-watering dishes. Subtle and refined in taste. The place to be for Sushi and related matters. - It is noisy, which makes it difficult to have a good conversation at the table + Nothing but praise. Keep it up.

Awesome food, friendly staff and fair prices.

Free sambuka for my birthday and the owner was so nice !! >0<

The best sushi I've ever had in my life. The first time we came to Amsterdam we were lucky enough to find this restaurant and we were delighted by the flavor of the dishes. We returned after a month and once again it was perfect. Thank you very much for the gastronomic experience, whenever we have the opportunity to return to this beautiful city we will not leave it out of our itinerary.

Really good food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

We had a great dinner experience, the bento box was really good

Food was just okay, a little disappointing. Service was superb.

Great staff fine food loved the experience. Loved the fine dining experience with the staff whom is very attentional. The Chef's choice is very much recommended. Light and tastefull.

Amazing experience! The best sushi I’ve ever had!Highly recommended

We came here for a quick bite but ended up ordering the burger and chicken skewer twice! Everything was incredible & the basil boy (cocktail) was amazing as well!

What a treat! Lovely food! Super happy service. Loved the playlist. Might need a reservation

We are always happy to come back and spend a dinner night in here! A little time travel to Japan, authentic Japanese food in Izakaya style which comes with a western twist. Many vegan and vegetarian options on the menu too!!! Ask for the special meals and cocktails!

Beautiful and relaxing experience!

A dream . Food harmonizes very well 👍🏽
