I visited there within the crazy hours, but I was asked to pay the special hours. The rule seemed to be that people arrive within the crazy hour need to leave before special hours starts, and the owner decide what you will pay regardless of which time you arrive. Meanwhile, you will also experience the hostility of the owner too.
So in my case I could luckily experience the different foods in buffet that (indeed) change depending on time. If you think of visiting there during the lunch (or crazy hours), I would like to say no. Some of food (esp. meats) from crazy time was so disturbing with too much fatty lard for meat that I felt sick during the whole dinner time - but you can not leave it on your dish, cause they will gonna charge you an additional fee for each dishes with left over. Sushi menu during the crazy hours was too weak (basically no sushi but rolls) - there was only one roll menu with real fish. Special hour was relatively better - there were real sushi with sake and a white flesh. Although the amount of rice is too much, taste was fine. Also, other menu seemed to be enhanced during the special hours. After finishing my dinner, I felt quite bad with the aftertaste of low quality food. If I just ate the food from special hours, it might have been better. If you don‘t require extensive amount of food to satisfy yourself, I believe there are many better sushi restaurants in Berlin that can offer sushi of great quality with the same money for...
Read moreVisiting Berlin for a couple of days with my 13 year old son who is very fussy about food so a buffet was a wise choice! We found the place very easily, a few minutes walk from Nollendorfplatz U-bahn station. We visited on a Friday evening and there was no waiting time. The food was fresh and there's a large selection of sushi, grilled meats, cooked dishes and a small veggie salad bar + deserts and ice-cream. The meat is freshly grilled before your eyes, everything we chose was delicious! The cake selection was small and my cheesecake and berry jello weren't very tasty but the ice-cream was lovely. There were two choices of noodles and they were more Chinese than Japanese style. There are no English labels for anything so we intuitively chose with our eyes! Our server was nice but didn't go out of her way to explain anything about how the buffet works but I guess is self explanatory if you've been before to similar places. The place is clean and has pleasant Japanese themed decor. 45 euros for two, with a glass of still water and a glass of sparkling water. I don't drink alcohol but they seemed to have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, classic choice of soft drinks and a small cocktail bar. Definitely worth the time and the money. My son loved the food too and we had a good time. I would...
Read moreThe rice for the sushi were hard and the other dishes were edible. I don't usually leave bad reviews but the service left me really sour as the waiter was very rude.
There was a bowl there that was broken and glued back with superglue, but it wasn't glued very nicely and resulted in the soup leaking out. I didn't want to drink directly from it as I was hesitant to drink from a bowl that could possibly be dirty. When I reflected this issue to the waiter and wanted to take a new bowl of soup he just poured the same soup into another bowl and even slammed the bowl after he was done. I was a little bit displeased but I didn't think too much about it.
But then when we were paying the same waiter was very impatient when we were trying to find small changes. Maybe he was in a hurry to work
BUT later when we were outside checking for bus schedules the same dude came out to us for whatever reason and said to us with a very impatient tone about how it was already written on the menu outside that the price only applied if we ordered drinks (we never complained about it in the first place even though we only realized it after entering the restaurant)
Overall a bad experience, not worth it
TLDR Really bad service,...
