(3) Had lunch here twice in a short time. The first time it was good. Had a Unagi set and some additional sushi and that Oolong tea. I don't drink the Oolong tea anymore, I didn't find it that tasty myself. The sushi was okay. Little garnish and a large ball of rice. Friendly young lady who helped expertly. The second time I had the Unagi set with additional sushi again. This time large balls of rice with a lot of garnish. Didn't fit in my mouth that's how big it was. They didn't have many of the drinks. That's why I had to (unfortunately) have a soft drink. 2 hours after eating the sushi I had diarrhea. That continued for the rest of the evening and I didn't eat my dinner for that day. I also had problems this morning. What I also noticed was that some of the sushi pieces from the Unagi set had fish eggs. That wasn't the case the first time. I don't want to eat fish eggs because I don't like them. This visit was a disappointment. There was also a somewhat older lady who, together with the young lady, did most of the work and very well (taking orders, being punctual towards customers, putting orders on the table). There was also a woman there with a somewhat round face who was playing with her phone while I was standing in front of her to reserve a table. And this woman was walking past customers and calling all the time. Kudos to the other ladies but not to this woman. That is why we decided to reduce the number of stars by 1. ========================================= (2) Have eaten here a few times. The second time as a team. Ordered delicious sushi. The size of the sushi varied: sometimes small with lots of garnish, sometimes large with lots of garnish. A good sushi is always a small ball of rice with lots of garnish. We also had fries here, which was a decent size dish. To top it all off, the team had said it was my birthday and I got an ice cream with candles and the staff sang. Of course I also got a birthday discount. ====================== (1) After a long time I ate here again. The sushi still comes with a large and small ball of rice instead of just a small ball of rice. The garnish is sufficient. I ordered a sushi flambéed tuna but it was not served and fortunately I did not see it on the bill. Otherwise I would have to say something about it. Homemade drinks were tasty: not too sweet and not too bland. Service was acceptable in terms of speed and friendliness. Pay attention to how much you eat here because the amount of rice they put out will fill you up quickly.

At a place like this, the Gelderlandplein in Amsterdam, I would have expected a bit more quality. Dragon roll sushi, it barely had any taste. It's about the eel. I didn't taste any eel. Upon closer inspection, there was a wafer-thin layer of eel skin on the Dragon roll. Homemade iced tea was very sweet. Miso soup was okay. I found the quality/price ratio disappointing.

I made a reservation, and received a flurry of automated confirmation emails, including one from a "do not respond" address two minutes after I arrived on time, asking "Did you forget about your reservation?!" which was pretty frustrating, because THEY seemed to have forgot about it, and didn't have any tables available. The bathroom looked like they'd just hosted a frat party, and their on-site menu doesn't match the one online.

Food is well prepared and delicious. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is not inviting. Don't take your date here on your first night. The visit: before or around 4:00 PM. 2 people, nice appetite for shopping. Staff, one texting at the counter, the other happily smoking next to the front (sliding) door. The rest wait apathetically. I actually had to wait more than fifteen minutes before any interest was shown and an order was taken. It is now 4:10 PM, so the lunch menu is closed. I ask about the option and point out to the server that although it is after 4:00 PM, we would like to order another lunch dish. The good man had no idea of the time but was apparently woken up. Went to consult his manager: it was no longer possible. Bland and rigid if you think about the time we were waiting without attention, but it will work and I had promised my eldest to eat here and so we ordered dishes from the dinner menu. It is not the quality of the food. The inflexibility and lethargy of the staff means that I am avoiding this case for the time being.

We came here for dinner randomly as we were waiting for the rain to stop. I ordered the eel and miso soup with a salmon avocado sushi roll. The eel and rice came in less than 5 minutes and they smelled weird and not tasty. The miso soup was too salty. The sushi roll had avocado that was not ripe i.e. too hard to eat. My partner ordered some tofu dish and grilled veggies that had no sauce whatsoever and tofu was not fresh with a side of rice that is overcooked and obviously had been sitting there for a long while. We also had the soup in a plastic bowl. One of the worst dinning experiences we’ve had in Amsterdam.

Special menu A and B My mum visited this restaurant about a year ago and really enjoyed it. With her recommendation in mind, I had high expectations when we decided to dine there for dinner and try the special menu. The special menu started with miso soup, which I found to be okay and quite flavourful. However, the octopus and duck breast slices were mediocre, and I didn’t care for the taste of the radish underneath. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired, as we had to wait 15 minutes for each dish to arrive. While the salmon and tuna sashimi were decent, the shrimp was not fresh and lacked flavour. I also noticed an abundance of fried items on the menu, which may have been overlooked because we didn’t thoroughly review the menu. The tsukune, or chicken meatball skewers, were also disappointing, with a plastic-like taste. Based on the quality of the food, I genuinely believe that this place is overpriced. In conclusion, I was greatly disappointed, as the food did not meet my expectations of what Japanese cuisine should taste like. Avg. spending ~ €45-50 (p.p.)

I am a huge Japanese foodie. So, you bet I know how and what should taste like. When I read the negatives reviews, I was sceptical. But they were correct…. Squid in takoyaki was raw, it was non chewable, like a plastic. The rice with gyudon (ribeye in a bowl) tasted like butter. My sister ordered udon with eel, the taste of fish was not fresh, like from aquarium The worst experience ever. I am not sure if I can look at squids sometime soon.

Horrible food that made my stomach upset… the rice bowl with eel - the fish tasted like it was brought from an aquarium that wasn’t cleaned for ages… the rice was mushy like a porridge 🤢 we ordered one more rice bowl with beef and the rice was not only mushy but also tasted like an old butter… so we returned back both bowls after having few pieces to try. The stuff asked several times what was the reason of the return. The verdict is: horrible taste that made me wanna throw up… the takoyaki is another story… the squid inside was raw and not possible to chew at all. Returned back to the kitchen as well. Overall we only had the half of miso soup and our lunch was over… but we payed 40+ euros for having only the miso soup. So disappointed. Instead of fancying the interior, focus on the meal taste. As Asian I can definitely say if the rice is well prepared and if the fish is fresh. All was awful. I wouldn’t give away this food even for free, it’s against humanity to feed people with such nonsense.

Just came back from a 9-day roundtrip through Japan. Want to pass some of the experience to my wife and children. Service was good, food was fine. The big problem was the electric sliding frontdoor that was opened frequently and then remained open for a few seconds but long enough to blow a very cold wind into the restaurant. Very annoying if it happens every five minutes and a real bummer to the experience. Don't think the restaurant or food is special enough to come back for it but I am not much into Japanese food anyway.
