It's hot outside and cool inside...
a huge plus in hot weather.
We ordered spicy ramen, udon soup with beef, gyoza dumplings and shrimp tempura.
the price is really surprisingly low for such great quality of food.
wallet-friendly place. oriental decor gives a sense of escape from the European climate.
I really liked the Japanese stools.
as for the food... a range of flavors... nothing exaggerated... perfectly balanced proportions.
aromatic dumplings filling....
shrimps covered with a magical sesame sauce that stole my heart.
perfect udon noodles... soft... a pleasure to eat.
a creamy egg that melts in your mouth
solid portions but fortunately not dripping with fat. You'll eat plenty but you won't feel sluggish afterwards.
If you are a fan of Asian food, definitely go there, you will be pleased

Everything on the menu is delicious. The perfect sized tapas, cool and cozy vibe inside and out. Highly recommend a mezcal Negroni here and the black sesame ice cream is amazing as well
Good menu and tasty food overall, but not authentic Japanese, more like fusion cuisine with some Vietnamese flavour to them. Not saying it's a bad thing. Dinner menu is quite expensive. I'd recommend checking it out for their lunch menu first, see if you like it, then come back for their dinner menu.
Great lunch special on Fridays “Dirty Ramen” for a special lunch. Very tasty in every component. Vegan options available. Can strongly recommend.
1. Food: Quality of the food was very good and very delicious. Also the menu was very well selected. Food tasted very authentic and sushi was made fresh in front of you. Karaage and Fried Eggplant was bombastic.
2. Service: Service was very professional and nice.
3. Atmosphere: Very classic and authentic Japanese interior. The room is really intimate and quiet so you were able to talk, but still a vibe. There were no tables outside, which gave it a unique vibe.
-> all in all very nice restaurant and very affordable for the quality of the food. We will be back.

Amazing experience, it can be really full so it’s a good idea to make a reservation earlier in order to find a place, the food was excellent, traditional and authentic! The girl who attend us was really nice and tried to create the best experience for us. But it might be need more help in that restaurant for that poor girl, she was the only waitress.
I fully emerged in the cozy comfort zone in the restaurant. The food was delicious and tasty. Totally recommend on Japan kitchen. Love it. The staff is amazing!!!
Really tasty and unique food experience! And the prices average about 6euros per small dish. Reminds me of the unique small dishes tried at local izakayas in Japan 👏👏👏
Nice Japanese restaurant. The sushi was good and not too expensive. I especially liked the seating and the ambiance.
Sushi is very nice, in particular the Smoked Eel is some of the best I've had. Great service and a nice ambience too.
If I had to be super critical the Yaki Soba was a bit so so and not being able to pay on credit card is a bit of a faff.
However, overall highly recommended.

On of the best restaurants in Magdeburg!
Delicious high quality plates, selection of vegan dishes and great service. What I loved most about the food is the creativity put into its creation, resulting in an outstanding and interesting taste.
It can be a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the area but worth it. The dining experience overall is very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Unagi and grilled pork belly were pretty good! However the miso eggplant was a bit of a letdown, in fact the eggplant was slightly on the raw side.
Very friendly service! We met severe traffic problems and been late for over 2 hours but still let us in. Great food,especially Tempura, fried chicken and Aubergine amazing! Definitely would like to go again.
Delicious sushi, great value sets.
The prices are quite fair for the portions you get. We took a set as on the photo and could barely eat it - it’s huge, everyone was looking at our “boat” :) However, we regret nothing - fish was good, the taste is fresh. We also ordered Mango Lassi shake - I’d rate it at 3/5, it’s not bad but I tasted a lot better (this one is too watery). Also, as a minus I’d include the lack of Wi-Fi for guests - I thought it’s impossible in 2022 not to have a free Wi-Fi for guests in a restaurant/cafe. Anyways, the atmosphere of the place is great, it’s chilling & relaxing, the waiters are friendly and helpful. Recommend!
