Tatsu Haarlem 2 in Oude Stad

A very nice restaurant, but the tables are very close together. The sushi was mediocre, although the beef and lamb chops were tender and flavorful. A very polite waiter helped us. Not a culinary highlight, but a tasty treat. Definitely worth going back.

The food was fine. I do think it's quite pricey for the two hours you get. And you can only order for 90 minutes; the last 30 minutes are off. One major drawback, in my opinion, is that the fresh food is brought on trays that already contain other people's dirty plates. I don't find it very hygienic. Your sushi is brought on a tray with someone else's gnawed rack of lamb on it. The large table downstairs is also uncomfortable. It's cold, like being in a cloakroom, and it smells like a toilet. It doesn't have the atmosphere of a real restaurant. You're tucked away in the back.

Super disappointing! Sloppily presented dishes, absolutely not a feast for the eyes! Small sushi, poorly rolled, beef rolls thinner than my little finger, and then large, dry chunks of beef. I came here to eat based on the reviews. Overhyped, 100%, I'll be back. 100%, no, it's a waste of money, and for these reasons I rarely eat out. If I go again, I'll experience exactly what I fear!

Very yummy sushi. Was here on a 2 week trip and I kept on coming back!

We had a reservation but were given a table near the restroom, which smelled strongly. The staff said we couldn't be moved, even though there seemed to be plenty of room. No apology was offered. Since we had come from far away, this was very disappointing, and we left. We will never come here again.

We love Japanese food, Tatsu in Haarlem is an absolute gem and definitely a must-try! This fantastic all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant is amazing. The concept is perfect: order rounds via a tablet (with photos to make it easy), and enjoy unlimited delicious bites for two hours. The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, from classic nigiri and maki to creative rolls and premium options in their Deluxe menu. The hot dishes like tempura and grilled items are equally impressive. The atmosphere is modern and cozy, with great cocktails to pair with your meal, and the service is friendly and efficient. Whether you’re a sushi enthusiast or just craving authentic Japanese flavors, head to Tatsu Haarlem, you won’t regret it! Highly recommended. 🍣🥢

Order via tablet, served fairly quickly, and the quality is excellent. A cozy place with friendly service. Centrally located in Haarlem's city center, very inviting.

What a bizarre dump this is. Made a reservation for 8:00 PM and had to wait over 15 minutes at the door. The grumpy, unhappy-looking staff, which is understandable. They were rushing around filling all the tables. At 9:30 PM, they were already complaining that they were closing soon and that we should order for the last time, but we couldn't be seated until 8:15 PM. "2 o'clock is 2 o'clock," I replied, and the manager immediately came to the table. The food quality is reasonable, with lots of salt and a mayonnaise-based sauce, so you quickly fill up. The staff sprays the tables with glass cleaner, so you're sitting in that smell while eating. Of course, I get a standard response, and nothing is done about it.

Delicious food again!! good service

I liked the service. Fast and friendly. The food was good. Thank you.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. A special mention goes to the waiters: they're super friendly, always smiling, and explain everything clearly. You can tell they're really trying. As far as I'm concerned, they definitely deserve a pat on the back!

We walked in and the atmosphere was immediately pleasant. We were shown to our table and then explained how to order. We loved everything we ordered. For dessert, I recommend the mochi. If you want to know what real Japanese food tastes like, this is the restaurant for you. I'll definitely be back!

Incomparably nicer, more helpful and kinder service than in Tatsu 1. The principle of the restaurant is good but it really depends on the service whether everything is delivered and that happened to us here, so we will gladly come again

We are regular customers of Tatsu, and I can confidently say that we always enjoy top-quality sushi. In every country or city we visit, we make a point of trying the local sushi, and none surpass the quality at Tatsu. The sushi is well prepared and fresh. They always present the dishes beautifully. The entire team is friendly, but I’d like to highlight the excellent service from Elisa, who is always so lovely. Tatsu is simply our favorite restaurant!

For €25 per person, you can enjoy a variety of delicious snacks for two hours. Drinks cost extra.

The food was good, and the service was good. It was very busy that evening, so we really had to leave after 3 hours. We couldn't even finish our drinks in peace. But you know that with this time slot option.

On a random Tuesday evening, it was almost completely full. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and a good variety on the menu.

Mediocre 3/6 The food was good, but it's really strange that the staff isn't allowed to keep the tips. I wonder who actually pockets them. I hope it's not the owner. People tip for the service, not the owner!

I won't take a seat downstairs next to the toilet; it's incredibly humid. It smelled musty and was incredibly warm. The staff wasn't very friendly, and the food isn't what I'm used to from Tatsu. Such a shame.

Delicious food. It's gotten quite expensive, but it's still a treat. Downside: the concept is a two-hour meal, but you're expected to order your last round after an hour and a half.

Good food. Fast service. And a cozy place.

Super cozy atmosphere with excellent food. A very wide selection of sushi, but also plenty of meat, fish, and chicken options. Perfect location, close to the parking garage and the city center. Fantastic!

I ate here and ordered a few rounds. In the second round, we were missing two dishes, and in the fourth and fifth rounds, we were both missing one dish. This was a real shame. I mentioned it to a colleague, but they still didn't do anything about it. The food was fine.

Friendly staff! Delicious food! Great atmosphere! Definitely recommended!

Simply delicious sushi, friendly staff and all in a beautiful location.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with the family. Friendly staff. Good service.

unfortunately I got a huge stomach ache from this food

The place offers a set-price all-you-can-eat concept where each person can order 4 different dishes per round. You can go through several rounds within a time limit. It’s a fun and varied way to try many dishes. As a vegeterian, I tried 6 or more from the menu and nearly all of them were above the expectations.

The sushi was delicious. Unfortunately, we were chased away for the second time by a staff member just before closing time. Today, 30 minutes before closing time, we were even told we could only order once more. Bizarre! Just before closing time, we were even asked if we'd enjoyed our meal and told they needed the table. It's a real shame to be treated this way, especially with a €290 bill. This is the second time this has happened. It's the last time for me; I won't be back.

The food is very good, you have 2 hours for it, it is scandalous that after an hour someone comes to your table to tell you that you have to order the last round because you almost have no time left, the first time I didn't say anything to her, 5 minutes later she comes back to tell us this again, then we said something about it, you order the deluxe menu with a bottle of wine and after an hour they already want you gone, I think it is absolutely scandalous, kind regards.

We have eaten a lot of sushi over the years, but Tatsu 2 is by far the best. The salmon just melted in your mouth.. delicious! Service was also fantastic.. we will definitely come back!

Tatsu Haarlem- good vibes, great sushi, even better service. The rolls are fresh, flavours punchy, and the staff actually look like they enjoy being there. Higher priced, not over hyped: just solid, reliable sushi that hits the spot every time. Personal fave: the spicy salmon. Extensive halal options. Go hungry. Leave happy.

If you like sushi, this is a very good address. We usually go for lunch. A little less choice but for us (a bit older) the menu offers much more than we can eat. Reservations are certainly not necessary for lunch. If the temperature is good, you can sit outside in the shade of the old Bavo. My wife is crazy about sushi and therefore about Tatsu and always leaves the building happy. (Cheese/steak rolls!)

What a delicious meal we had! We were a large group and thought it would take a bit longer, but hats off to the service 😍

Excellent food. For 8 euros extra per person, take the luxury card. This is absolutely worth it!

Lovely atmosphere with excellent dishes. Unlimited tapas and japanesee style cuisine. One of our favourite restaurants in Haarlem.

Honestly just go to a normal Japanese restaurant, it will taste better and you’ll pay cheaper. This was mid and expensive.

Food and service have really gone downhill. Mass production

Great food, quick service, tablet ordering that actually works!

The place is modern, cozy and stylish. We didn’t expect much from an all-you-can-eat buffet, but honestly, everything was really tasty! The quality of the food was much better than we expected and the portions were well-prepared and fresh. The price is very reasonable. Can’t wait to go back!

The staff is very professional and very pleasant and cheerful. The food is delicious and looks appetizing. There's plenty of choice and plenty of time to order. The atmosphere is pleasant, and sitting in a small alcove makes it cozy. However, the bottom of the stairs near the restroom isn't a pleasant spot. We'd love to come back.

Excellent food and fast service. Just as it should be.

Great food. Good atmosphere. Pity you need to watch the timer. If time runs out the party is over🥲

Great restaurant for small groups or just the two of you

Good sushi, tasty side dishes and it is highly recommended to choose the deluxe menu!

A very nice place with a buffet and à la carte options. Incredible cocktails and very high-quality sushi.

suPERB dinner, service...i could've done with different or withOUT music. that's my ONly criticism...the tuna sashimi was outstanding, and ALL dishes were at LEAST good. one thing about this place is that they serve the right sauces with their food. like the vinegar for the gyoza. or the coconut sauce for the sesame balls...the waiter was very friendly...service was quick...tables were cleared of used dishes quickly...i live in Leiden but when i go to Haarlem this is DEFinitely my 'go to' restaurant...

Amazingly good food, ready quickly and super delicious! Something for everyone!

Great all you can eat place with suprisingly high quality food. Make sure you go in with an empty stomach!

The food is tasty, staff are friendly, sushi is delicious, drinks are great and environment is very cozy. It can be a bit noisy in the weekend or holidays. This can be a bit annoying at times. I have been to this place for the first time with a friend and the experience was good. It’s a 8 out of 10. Nothing wrong with this restaurant but I still prefer the Tatsu Haarlem 1.

You usually don't get the food you order! It's better to go somewhere else.

Reservation for 6:00-8:00 PM; ordered 10 minutes late. A drink that accidentally spilled due to our own fault was charged for after refilling. Half an hour before the end, the staff pressured us to finish, repeating annoyingly just before 8:00 PM, claiming there were people waiting. We left and paid by 8:10 PM. Upon checking in after exploring the city, our table was completely unoccupied, and neither were many others. We felt rushed well before and around 2:00 PM, citing a two-hour shift where they lied about waiting times. It came across as very inhospitable! Furthermore, we were there for our daughter's birthday. We had informed them beforehand, but nothing was done about it. A terrible experience for service and hospitality! Not good, Tatsu!

Don't eat here if you have a gluten intolerance. After contacting them twice beforehand, things went completely wrong on the spot. We received dishes with gluten, waited 25 minutes for dishes that were supposed to be gluten-free. We reported the problem, and then it was a complete mess. It's been two days of pain and suffering.

Atmospheric place with fantastic food, I recommend it!

The worst maki we ever had! What we ordered and what we were served… we asked two waiters if the picture and what we had in our plate looked the same and they both said “Yes! They are exactly the same!”Seriously? No! neither look nor taste was the same and what the hell is that lettuce next to everything even dessert???

It's a shame the menu has been halved. The food is still incredibly delicious.

Yes, Tatsu. That certainly seems like a logical choice to me. As far as sushi (all you can eat) restaurants go, Tatsu is one of the most worthy options. Now, we're used to those in Leidschendam, but a different location for a change wouldn't be a bad thing. Well...not entirely. It's quite difficult to get to, parking is expensive, and walking there during this "hot season" isn't exactly pleasant either. Once inside, you'll recognize Tatsu's interior: the chairs, benches, mood lighting, and the staff's outfits. Here too, the staff is friendly and helpful. The concept—yes, we fall for it again and again. The only downside: the service took a bit longer than we're used to at Tatsu Leidschendam. Now, I don't want to say we're in a hurry, but we noticed the difference. All in all, there seems to be a lot of criticism, but that's mainly due to external factors. Visit Tatsu, and you'll throw all other sushi concepts in the trash. Let me give you a tip. You know how to tell Tatsu takes the crown? No one gets up at Tatsu; everyone stays seated, and everything is brought to you. There's also no dessert station where you can scoop cheap, unhygienic ice cream with cupcakes and donuts you don't like, but eat anyway because there's no other dessert and you paid for it. Tatsu gives you a choice of two desserts. My tip: choose the cheesecake and the mango ice cream. Tatsu Haarlem 2: definitely worth it!

The food was delicious, but there was a hair in it... And what terrible service! We were seated at two tables when one was enough, but when we asked if the second table could be moved away, the waiter told us "he couldn't do magic." This arrogant tone continued. Only one lady was friendly and wished us a good meal; for the rest, all the food was practically thrown on the table without a word. Even when we left the restaurant, the staff didn't say goodbye or anything. Very unfriendly.

Nice place to eat sushi. I was phoned to be told that a special price because of Valentine's day would be charged. Which turned out to be +50%. So, without even having a drink, I would pay for myself, my wife and daughter already over 100 euros! This is a rip off. Avoid during special holidays.

Good sushi, and unlimited. Also good for relaxed business dinners.

The food was okey but not for the price. The chicken salad was too thinly sliced and it was drenched in sauce.

I've eaten here about four times now. The sushi is delicious, and the other dishes are also very good. Our favorite is the dragon roll from the deluxe menu. Note that this isn't part of the regular all-you-can-eat menu. Cocktails are pricey but very good and look beautiful. They're also real alcoholic cocktails, rather than the watered-down ones you sometimes get at other places. The service is okay, but it sometimes takes a while to get seated. I recommend making a reservation from Friday to Sunday, as it's almost always full.

I WAS a very loyal customer!! I came to tatsu2 at least once a month. But after today I will never go there again! We were given a spot literally by the kitchen. I indicated that I absolutely did not want to sit there because my eyes would get sore from all the smoke! Then we were assigned another spot next to the main entrance but literally behind other guests. Neither my husband nor I fit in there because it was so scratchy (there was a very large man who had pushed his chair all the way back). After discussing for 10 minutes we had to sit there because there was no other spot. We ate quickly and got up immediately. We discussed this with the manager but he did not take us seriously and started laughing!! Unprofessional! Kind regards, Dina

Had another great meal at Tatsu. Now at the smaller location. Food was good and familiar again. Round table was small for 4 people, but luckily the staff quickly collected the plates and bottles, which was fine. Little room for legs though. Christmas atmosphere was nice and service was good. Due to the smaller location it was nice to (easier) look into the kitchen...

It's recommended to book or arrive early, or you'll easily find a table after 9 pm. Excellent buffet for €45 on weekends plus drinks. I loved everything; it's delicious, definitely my favorite Japanese restaurant. I'll be back.

Delicious, sometimes takes long to deliver the food

I recently dined at Tatsu and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the elegant and warm ambiance. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, making me feel at home right away. The highlight, of course, was the food. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The sushi was fresh and masterfully crafted, and the hot dishes were equally impressive, showcasing a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary Japanese cuisine. The attention to detail in both the service and the food was remarkable. Tatsu is truly a gem in Haarlem, and I can't wait to return.

Reserved from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Arrived promptly at 6, we didn't receive the tablet until 6:20 PM. At 7:30 PM we were told that we had to order the last round because at 8 the table would be for someone else. At 7:50 PM we received the message that we still had 30 minutes & at 8:00 PM no one was there. We felt very rushed and were unable to enjoy a quiet meal. Didn't even get a peppercorn at checkout. Too bad again... I'll skip this Tatsu again in the future. Update 9:00 PM: table is still empty, really bad service. You pay for 2 hours & not for 1.5 hours.

Friendly staff with the right knowledge and explanation. The food and drinks came to the table relatively quickly. The food was very tasty. We would definitely come and eat here again! Centrally located restaurant, full of atmosphere.

Friendly, discreet and reserved in service and advice. The food came quickly and the ordering functions are easy to understand. The sushi and side dishes were extremely tasty…

Had made a reservation but was only allowed a table near the toilet where it literally stinks and smells like a toilet, or a table next to the kitchen where you really don't sit for your rest. While there were other tables free! But we were not allowed to sit there, we were told that they were already reserved for other people. While we had also made a proper reservation. The entire attitude of this man (probably manager or owner) was wrong and not looking for a solution at all. I always liked coming here, but after this very bad service, I will never come here again! It was much better when it was just Sumo.

Super luxurious, simply delicious food, definitely worth it and certainly a reason to repeat it

Next to the church. Delicious food at Sumo2, super fresh and good service.

Great. The food, service, staff have not had this service and quality of food for 30 years... this restaurant deserves a nomination.

I came here very often, until the last time. I receive a call the same day of my reservation to say that he only has a table available downstairs next to the smelly toilets. First arrange your hygiene in the toilets, it smells like sewer🤢. So don't go if you are only offered a table downstairs next to the toilet.

Our group of 4 took the deluxe set and enjoyed the sushi. Overall better quality than other sushi restaurants. We started exactly on time, but after 1,5 hour, we were allowed to order 1 more round. So either there is a max rounds or you have to eat very fast. Its an All you can fast eat sushi-restaurant.

We arrived on time yesterday. They gave us a table next to the toilet downstairs between big group of people and kids, very crowded. We said we will not sit there and asked to change the table for another table upstairs but administrator rejected despite half of the tables were empty upstairs. I asked if they can find us other table later. He said in half hour on a terras. I asked if we can go sit there now sinds the tables on a terrace were ready and empty. He said no. I asked, okay, can we wait on a bar then and have a drink. He rejected that as well and said that we can go for a walk instead. What a hospitality was that? And I see that Tatsu 2 administrator marked my reservation as no show at Quandoo.. what is that? We did came and were not welcome. Very rude and unfriendly administrator and not client oriented at all. I will not go there anymore.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food did not disappoint as usual, tasty! The only downside was that it was getting really warm....( next to the window) very uncomfortable

Very disappointed. Not recommended.

Top sushi and other delicacies from the Tepanyaki grill, lots of selection and fast service. What I didn't like was that I had ordered a quiet table at Tand especially for our 15th wedding anniversary. Where will we sit...in the middle on a bench where there was 50cm of space to the left and right from the neighbor. Terrible. Otherwise nice terrace and great location in the middle of the old town of Haarlem.

Tatsu is always good, good food, fast service and pleasantly busy.

It is highly recommended, the food was extra tasty. Service top..

We had a delicious meal with the grandchildren and the atmosphere was great.

I love Tatsu 2🫶🫶🫶for me, it’s more comfortable here than in the first one 😍the atmosphere and service are at the highest level 🫶but the most important thing is the food, namely the rolls - crazy salmon 😍😍😍my husband and I always order them, because they are divine, unreal ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️just in the very heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Food was good but the service… awful.

Some dishes were tasty, but unfortunately there were also a few dishes that I seriously had to spit out. I also ordered a fruit salad but it literally consisted of 2 small pieces of melon, 2 mini pieces of pineapple and a quarter of a strawberry. Also ordered several dishes but never received them. We sat on chairs outside that had no cushions and they were really, really uncomfortable.

A enjoyable dinner. The orders come fast. You can order 8 items per time.everything you orders are served. In general the restaurant is clean and neat, efficient and friendly. There is a lot of tables but is advisable to make a reservation on time.

Excellent sushi table order very fast service great service very high quality food the price is therefore a little higher culinary highly recommended.

the food was good and friendly employees. We will definitely come back!!

Everything on the menu (deluxe) is delicious! next time some pictures 😂

Super good food, service on point. Went there with a friend and we both recommended if you want good sushi.

I loved the food and the service was great... I wished the beers where little bit larger..

Excellent Sushi, nice and fresh.

As I’m in the Netherlands for a few short days a family member suggested to go to Haarlem. I’m from the US and I think of Harlem I think of NYC. I was told the best time to come to eat is before 6pm due to the crowd. In order to eat you must pay $37 per person and you order off a tablet. You or your party can choose 15 things off the menu to order to eat. In total you get 5 rounds or up to 15 items to eat each round. The plantains I never had any fix like that before, they were tempura. I would definitely come back. Follow me: Instagram: BillyBangCCars YouTube: Billy Bang Cars

The food was delicious, nice atmosphere and the service was great! We sat next to the door since it was warm outside, this was no problem. We had a nice waitress, very cheerful, friendly and her English is very good! The only major downside was my mocktail, which was tasteless. Tonic water of 3 drops, lots of ice cubes and an orange slice... Very expensive 11 euros for 3 drops of water, if there are mocktails, pour them full like regular ones. No more mocktails for me...

SUPER tasty food. The food comes very quickly too!!!! The atmosphere was warm, cozy but also private!

Very good Sushi and great Service

Great service, very very nice people. The deluxe part of the menu is 100% worth the extra euro's. Great cocktails - for the sweet lovers I recommend their signature cocktail or the Raspberry one. Or just take all of them if you dont have to drive, that way your appetite increases by a threefold. Also, pretttty good sushi. Very well made and the taste distinguishes itself from other all you can eat places. Lastly... cheesy fried shrimp? I never knew I needed that in my life what the .. it was delicious. I rate it a solid 8.5/10 - will come again.

Food was great, but we didn't manage to try everything we ordered. A lot of things just didn't come to the table and no one said anything about it.

The manager was rude when we indicated that it smelled like sewer downstairs, the gentleman indicated that he was busy with other guests Disappointing!
