UDAGAWA 宇田川 — Restaurant in Berlin

Short review: Top quality authentic Japanese restaurant Sashimi melts in your mouth Reservation highly recommended

Long review: I sat on the bar and saw Master Abe (assuming from another review) prepare sushi. Master Abe takes his time preparing with a small crew. It will take time.

I highly recommend getting sashimi or sushi with a few appetizers. That’s why you go here. I got the Chirachi Sushi. Sashimi literally melts in your mouth.

Yes there is a slight language barrier from the crew and menu but do not let that discourage you.

I went alone and got a couple appetizers with Chirashi Sushi. I left after 1.5 hours. Be mindful of that when the restaurant is full.

Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the best sashimi...

Very good quality, authentic Japanese food. Quite pricey, but that was to be expected by the authenticity and quality of the ingredients.

However, the way the poor young girl doing the service was treated left me with a bitter note. She was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, yet she was shamed and insulted to tears in front of everyone for mistakes she didn't even do or things she did after I asked her (e.g. take away an empty beer bottle). Even then, she was still lovely and served us with a smile.

I hope this was just a one-time thing, yet I will not return, as I do not want to support the employees being continued to be treated...

If you’re looking an authentic sushi place in Berlin, Udagawa is the answer!! This humble restaurant offers an exceptional authentic Japanese sushi experience. The fish is incredibly fresh, and each piece is crafted with precision and care. The flavors are exquisite (as if you’re eating sushi in Japan), and the presentation is beautiful. The staff and the sushi master are very welcoming and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Udagawa is a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts seeking authenticity and quality. I would definitely come back again and willing to spend more money....
