Sushi for life
Great food and even better service. I was incredibly impressed with how friendly and welcoming and of course the food was good too! (Read Full Review)
The Restaurant.
The size is small but very spacious. It has outside seating for summer and nice weather, inside can seat about 12/15 people which is decent size. Lunch and dinner isn’t too busy so you find a spot inside, indefinitely.
The Staff.
As I mentioned they were super friendly. The staff speaks English and of course, German, and they were incredibly accommodating and super friendly. I have no complaints, but all praise and thanks to these wonderful human beings that work at this restaurant. They have such polite manners and great at making conversation.
The Menu.
No the menu and the food is overwhelming at first. But what brought me here is of course the sushi, so the two things I would recommend to simplify your life get the big tempura or the mini tempura rolls. Both are amazing choices and getting one of each will really fill you up.
But back to the menu, it is a mix of Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine. Very interesting to have this combination for a restaurant that is named sushi for life. Perhaps this might just be a friendly suggestion from a visitor: my perspective from coming here is always simplicity when it comes to the menu and sticking to one genre. The reason for this and the advantage for restaurants is that they can keep their inventory and selection small but it’s more focused on quality over quantity. I always find that restaurants. I have incredibly huge menu sizes not practical, and, they had to stock so much ingredients to prepare all these different kinds of foods. It doesn’t make sense. They should really take the next little while to develop a new menu by looking at their overall past three months and looking at what dishes sold for those past three months to determine what cuisine style they would go with.
Since they are sushi for life, I would stick with Japanese. It would just help simplify their life and also reduce expenses for the entire restaurant. So as a friendly suggestion, simplify the menu stick to one genre of cuisine, and I think they would be more successful.
The Food.
No complaints about the food. The food was absolutely delicious! The big tempura rolls are amazing. You must try the salmon and also ask for the daily bonus 24 hour menu items which will save you a huge ton of money and they’re really good. I would also try the crispy chicken roll and the avocado roll both in big tempura or mini tempura sizes. I don’t want to spoil anything but when you do come there, they give you a salad that is with sweet chili and mayo sauce. It is so good they have cucumbers, red peppers, arugula, and some salad. It’s a very beautiful medley of vegetables and wow fantastic way to start your dinner journey. Truly sets the time for the entire experience for your lunch or evening dinner
The Verdict.
It was completely fantastic had no complaints and once again, I highly recommend trying the big tempura and mini tempura rolls you will not go wrong with any of them. Everything is affordable and the portion for what you get is perfect with the price. I will definitely be back again, this will be my third time coming back and I really like it so far. And everyone is so nice in this place, I feel right at home. Thanks to the Staff for being so awesome and friendly!

Firmament Berlin Renaissance
Recently visited Firmament and I must say that I had an amazing experience. Andre was incredibly polite, welcoming and friendly! (Read the Full Review)
I was astonished by this little shop, it was located somewhat hidden away from the business and it sits cozily between cafes and across a park. Somewhat simple and I you could miss it if you’re not intentionally looking. It is located in a very cute area.
THE STORE.
It’s simple, clean and doesn’t boast too much about the brands they carry. Subtle branding but it simply speaks for its brand identity. Very modern and cozy. Uses earth tones and simple white to break up the space and also again to communicate that it’s all about the brands they carry. This shop doesn’t look cheap, it’s gorgeous inside!
Once you’re inside it forces you to explore and the back of the store is where the good stuff is. Little bench area to sit down and try on shoes, change room in the back. The all white aesthetics and great lighting helps bring out the true potential of those garments.
The cash register is located off to the middle of the store but it’s offset to the east of the store making it feel like a gallery space more than an actual store, quiet a cool concept layout.
THE STAFF.
Andre like I previously mentioned was great! He immediately took the time to get to know us and took interest. He didn’t make us feel like we’re just customers, he made us feel like guest. We felt a little more at ease looking around cause he gave us space.
He helped us with no hesitation, we didn’t feel like we were troubling him especially since we were the only once’s there. We had a great conversation, super friendly. I felt so welcomed! This is something that you don’t experience in Berlin too often. It was refreshing feeling like we walked into a grid s apartment/gallery.
He gave us options to try and encouraged us to ask more questions and try out all sizes, again, we felt like we weren’t trouble at all.
THE CLOTHES.
They carry a whole variety of brands like Vans, Cavt Emp (receive shipment monthly) Stone Island, Birkenstock, Neighborhood, WTaps, Stussy, and much more.
THE VERDICT.
We did end up grabbing these amazing magazine: Eye_C and Popeyes from Japan. Great service, pleasant atmosphere, unobtrusive team, cool and rare stuff.
Thank you for having us and glad we found another amazing store here in Berlin. Highly recommend coming here and exploring what they have to offer. Cannot wait to be back again soon, they have monthly Cavt Empt shipments.

Beautiful store, well lit and amazing selection of high-end designer brands, as well as exclusive, furniture, and household goods. Friendly staff, and very helpful. Enjoyed being able to check everything out from the perfumes to the clothing to the accessory’s down to the furniture and plates. It was fun checking this place out and we were glad that we are able to pick up a very nice priced item. They have nice sales up to 50% off once in a while and especially end of season. Lovely store and lovely people in it.
