Sweet Sushi — Restaurant in Cologne

We stayed in Köln for one night and wanted to have some sushi and rolls for dinner. Sweet Sushi was near to our hotel and had decent reviews in google and other apps. So I called and „luckily“ there was a table for us.. The restaurant was very narrow, small and packed with tiny tables and people. All tables for 2 are arranged so that the two must seat next to each other. We ordered a bottled bear(no draft available), a miso soup, one crunchy roll, one sushi+roll combo, and one hand maki roll (as you can see from the photos). Drink and soup came out first, and much later came the main dishes (because they all had to come together in one big plate). And as we were about to eat, we realized that our server had took away the miso soup, which we barely ate from... really???? I still would not have minded if the sushi tasted okay. But sushi rice had too much vinegar, excessive rice for each nigiri sushi, unevenly cutter rolls, and too sticky rice(more like porridge) that crunchy roll didn‘t feel crunchy at all.. couldn’t find any texture as we were eating.

He used the same knife to cut all the fish without cleaning it. After he finished cutting all the fish, he cleaned the knife with a cloth. And with that same cloth, he cleaned the counter with it. After feeding that we definitely felt sick. Wish I saw him do that before consuming my sushi. To make it even worse, a friend of ours ended up...

I was looking for a healthy meal (didn't fancy sausages) and chose this place based on other reviews. And what a great choice it was! The staff were accommodating and brought me a menu in English. I ordered one of their sushi platters which included a small bowl of miso soup with a couple of starters. While waiting, and sipping on my warm sake, I could watch the chefs in front of me making the sushis from fresh fish, in their calm and sophisticated manners. All the elements of my food were delicious and I ended up eating a bit too much! I can say this was the best sushi I ever had (competing against London and LA). This restaurant also has the right atmosphere if you are eating by yourself (you won't...
