Akatsuki Sushi — Restaurant in Berlin

The food was good (but a bit pricey for what it is - I had so much better sushi for the same price) But the service was awful.

We came to this place because of the good reviews they have, but it was disappointing. There were only tables with people outside (and not much, around 4?), and none inside. And there was enough staff, they were just very distracted.

It took them forever to take our order (we had to go and ask them TWICE to take our order). We ordered lemonades that had no flavor, it was just water with a lot of sugar at the bottom (they didn't even bother to mix it).

Then when the food arrived, they brought only one plate, and we had to ask for another plate (we were two people). We also had to ask for napkins. It's as if they didn't know how to do the most basic things. You couldn't just sit and relax, you had to take care of everything yourself.

Everything was half-done, we had to get up and ask for everything, they took forever. The food was okay, but the drinks we ordered were terrible. It was a really bad experience in terms of service...

I would give just 3.7 stars for my most recent order if I could. I found the fish to be fresh and tasty. The sushi rice was seasoned very well. However unfortunately we couldn’t finish the crispy salmon roll I ordered as it had been fried in old oil and so smelt quite bad, as a result, this had the room we ate in smell quite unpleasant. It is usually tasty. I also ordered unagi maki, which was meant to come filled with both unagi and cucumber. The latter was forgotten, which completely changed the dish and I was disappointed at this discovery. I usually have good experiences here and would love for this review to be taken as...

Just based on what I’d ordered - not very impressive, and a bit pricey for what it is. The deep fried roll with salmon was very greasy and was full of rice and cream cheese, not much actual salmon. The fried ebi dish had way too much breading and tasted a bit stale. Highlight was the standard miso soup, which also wasn’t special at all, just better than the rest of my order. It’s not a horrible place but there are many infinitely better sushi restaurants around...
