Delicious, high quality food, always a treat, and the service is very good and friendly. We go here for special occasions and really look forward to it each time.

I cant believe this place is recommended on Michelin. Honestly I dont know if the german standards os sushi are these bad or its just the restaurant! Ordered the 10 sushi plate and none of them were good! You need to beg the waiter to come! Place is nice but definitely a bad experience

Best Sushi in Cologne by far.
Very pricey but the quality and service are appropriate for the level of pricing.
Gonzalo Diaz

Update: new location, just few steps from where it used to be. Bigger restaurant with larger capacity. The food is just as delicious and the service as friendly as always and even faster. Will keep coming back!

I have not been to many sushi places in Cologne yet, but i have a strong feeling that this will be my favourite.
The restaurant is small with limited tables so you have to make sure to get a reservation, specially on weekends. It is clean and with a cozy atmosphere.
The food: the best tempura i have had. The batter was perfect. The rolls were all well executed, with a good balance of rice and fillings. The dessert which was a mango mousse was very original and delicious. The presentation of the food was simple but really appealing. I definitely would recommend the volcano rolls and the dragon ones i believe. It also has a good selection of drinks.
Service: greeted by a warm welcome, you are served a hotel towel once you are seated and the service is just fast and friendly. No complaint.
However if you choose to go, check the menu as this place is upscale; yet really worth it.

Some of the best sushi I've had outside Japan. The staff are all Japanese, generally a good sign. But the chef's technique was so good! Creative stuff too, such as yuzu chili paste to accompany wasabi.

Very good quality. Friendly staff. Delicious. One of my two favourite Japanese restaurants in Cologne next to the Tobioka in the South City.
