Mikoto Sushi - Kreuzberg — Restaurant in Berlin

A True Far Eastern Gem in Kreuzberg – Exceptional Value and Flavour

Tucked just steps away from Schlesisches Tor, this unassuming spot turned out to be one of the most rewarding culinary surprises of our Berlin trip. A far oriental gem that delivers both on flavour and authenticity, and at prices that make you do a double take.

The four of us enjoyed a wonderfully diverse lunch, sampling several dishes across the menu — each impressively presented and packed with flavour.

We began with 14. Chuka or Wakame Salad, which was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned — a 10 out of 10 start that set the tone. It was followed by 02. Nameko Soup, a delicate and earthy option in a small portion — ideal if you plan to pace yourself (8/10).

Golden Gyozas were hand-made and utterly moreish — crispy on the outside, bursting with flavour inside. A clear 10 out of 10 again. The 23. Vegan Spring Rolls were a touch on the greasy side, likely because they weren’t blotted before serving — a minor miss (6/10), but forgivable in the context of such good cooking overall.

The 183. Spicy Tuna Rolls surprised us by being deep-fried — not what we expected, but a pleasant twist nonetheless (8/10). The 233. Tuna Roll brought us back to the pure, fresh flavours we came for — simple, clean, and absolutely spot on (10/10). Rounding out the meal was 81. Tori Teriyaki, which was as close to perfection as you’ll find — succulent, balanced, and beautifully glazed (10/10).

All of this was enjoyed alongside refreshing jasmine tea and other beverages — a relaxed and flavour-filled afternoon, without the faintest hint of rush.

While we didn’t sample the bar this time, it deserves mention — the setup is sleek, inviting, and looks ideal for an evening cocktail or two, perhaps after a stroll along the Spree. The décor and overall vibe remain true to a minimalist Japanese aesthetic — clean lines, warm woods, and a calm, intimate atmosphere that adds to the charm.

If you’re in Kreuzberg and craving Japanese food that doesn’t compromise on authenticity or value, this spot is a must-visit and it won't brake the bank with just under 75 Euro for 3 adults and a teenager that eat like an adult. We’ll absolutely be back — next time, for...

Since I read the reviews I guess my expectations were a bit high, unfortunately I was really wrong. I'm giving one start for the guy at the entrance checking our vaccination status, asking for ID and everything. I wish all restaurants / bars were doing the same.

One star for the drinks - really nice presentation and they all tasted alright.

Unfortunately everything else was a disappointment. We sat down, ordered our drinks and food. It was a Saturday night, 8:30pm. I don't expect to have my food on my table in 20-30 min, it's busy and we are not at McDonald's, all good. We waited for one hour. Drinks were empty, no food on the table. No one came to ask if we needed another drink, or to say something like "hey, I'm so sorry. I know it has been an hour that you ordered, but it's really busy right now. Can I bring you another drink?". Nothing.

Food arrives. Good presentation. Deep fried sushi is COLD and the rest was meh. I don't mind paying a bit more for good food. It just wasn't great.

Once we finished, server came to ask how the food was. I explained that the deep fried sushi was cold. The least I expected was a "I'm sorry about that, I will let the kitchen know about it". Again - nothing. If you are asking me if I liked the food and then don't do anything about it, don't even bother asking.

At least the alcohol was alright. For the price I would expect at least the minimum of food quality and...
