Tokyo Gohan Kreuzberg — Restaurant in Berlin

Taste & Texture : A -the Karaage was made fresh but could have been a bit crispier, otherwise the Karaage ben would have been S tier, the rest of the bento was very very tasty and fresh. Also, the yukari onigiri was S tier can highly recommend for vegans.

Authenticity of the food: S - I'm no onigiri expert but the chef used authentic fillings (afaik)and I can say with confidence that I've had worse onigiri in Japan.

Service : S - Super friendly wait staff that speaks both English and German, very good !

-Value for money : A - It's not the cheapest meal you will ever eat, but it's certainly one of the tastier meals you will eat, the amount of food in the big bento was also certainly enough to leave me satisfied. Also you can't put a price on being transported to Japan, if only for a few bites ;).

[If the owner ever ends up reading this review: could we please please get karashi mentaiko onigiri on the menu ? If only for a few weeks as a special item or...

I dined here outside for dinner and got the bento box (14€) which came with 2 onigiri and 2 pieces of karaage.

Unfortunately, I found the food very disappointing. The chicken wasn’t crispy at all, but quite meaty and dry. The ginger soy flavor was alright though. The onigiri was mainly rice and the lachs filling didn’t have much flavor while the ramen pork was a bit too salty. They were out of the pork belly kimchi which I wanted to try. There are many vegetarian options and the meat onigiri had a surcharge.

Service was nice though and I wanted to like the food but I don’t think it was...

The onigiri were obviously freshly made, with great rice, fresh nori and generous fillings/toppings. Both flavors I had (tuna mayo and soboro) were delicious, and the karaage & takuan that are part of the karaage bento set were also very nice, though the onigiri are (rightfully) the star attraction. I also love that the drink selection has oolong tea, hojicha, and green tea, which is exactly what I would drink when having onigiri for lunch when living in Japan.

No photos, because everything was so delicious I ate through all of it before remembering to take pics, but I will definitely...
