Sushi Bar SameSame Weststadt
If you love sushi and in Heidelberg, this sushi bar is a must-visit. Or you can visit Heidelberg just for this place.
This is simply the top sushi bar in my list. We visited once 5 years ago and today the quality is still top-notch. No other places come close to the quality this place brings on the table:
+ Pure freshness in each slice of ingredients, regardless if they are fishes or vegetables.
+ The salmon and tuna sashimi were super tender and buttery (salmon). They just melt in my mouth after each bite. Pure taste climax.
+ The sushi rice is well-cooked, soft, and very light sour. The sourness is very faint it doesn’t make me want to throw up after having many bites. If you have been to an all you can eat sushi bar before, you will understand.
+ I have to emphasize again on the freshness of the food. After having the sashimi and sushi here, I went on having waffles with chocolates and cocktails, but my weak stomach is still fine. This rarely happens at other places.
The only downsides I can think of is that this sushi bar is a bit small so you might not get a table during popular times. Also the waiting time for the food is fairly long, but the taste totally worths the wait.

Restaurant ON
We returned after 5 years and still had good time at this place. Service was more friendly than ever. We got fairly stuffed portions for what we paid. The food is very authentic, so expect each main portion to be served with a main dish and various side dishes, and if it’s listed as “spicy” then it’s really Korean level of spicy. Overall good Korean food that I recommend.
-1 star because:
_ It was wayyyy too long until the food is served. About 30 minutes for the starters and after we finished them we had to wait another 15 minutes for the main dish. We almost fell asleep due to boredom.
_ For the Bibimbap with Bulgogi, they used minced beef. Obviously that’s still somewhat true to the recipe. However the taste would have been better if they used thin sliced beef. The amount of minced beef within the bowl was not enough to stand out against all other ingredients. After mixing the bowl I could hardly feel like I tasted any meat at all.
Another note: If you come as group with more than 4 persons, you must reserve a table in advance or you won’t be seated.

Prik Thai Restaurant
Great Asian restaurant. Despite the “Thai” in the name, this place also offers a variety of dishes from China and Vietnam as well. The service is friendly and quick even in busy time. I cannot praise the fried rice here enough, they have curcuma as an ingredient, which I don’t see in any other places. This make the smell and taste undoubtedly spectacular. Totally recommend this place.
Barrio Offenbach
I'm personally not familiar with Morrocan cuisine but the food tastes good. Interrior atmostphere is well decorated, although it's a bit cramped due to fairly small area. Service is friendly. I cannot praise the drink enough, especially the Chai latte, very delicious.
