Sushibar Tatsumi — Restaurant in Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Konstanz

*The Verdict

The Place: Very Japanese. Similar to those Japanese Resto in Japan. Modern ambiance with mix Japanese culture design and display.

The People: it is run by a japanese Chef so expect a japanese Hospitality.

The Food: So I ordered Steak Tofu with Ginger soya sauce, Ebi Furai and Unagi sushi. The Tofu Steak comes with a savory sweet sauce, was expecting it with any ginger taste to it, but it is not. I find the sauce too sweet for it and the Tofu somehow too soft. I would recommend a much firmer texture tofu for it and a sauce that is not too sweet. Also it comes with springrolls which is better to be substitute with more japanese side dishes. Overall for this, it is ok but needs improvement.

Ebi Furai looks like just a normal breaded Shrimp that is also being served in other Asian resto but don't be fooled, it taste Good! I don't know how they prepare it but the inside is cooked but very succulent and Crispy outside! The Shrimps indeed that they used, definitely are prepared in a good way. I ate even the tail part as well! The only thing I don't like is, the sauce dip that comes with it is somehow sweet tangy and it doesn't match. Would suggest to change it with tempura dip sauce.

Unagi sushi taste good also but it needs to be abit more warmer. since Unagi sushi normally are freshly grilled before serving as what I have eaten locally in Japan. But don't get me wrong with it my comment for this one, it is still good .

The Price: reasonable for its Quality and just right for what you are going to get.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️3.5 to be exact. it is good and have a great potential to be a good...

We reserved for lunch and they did everything to not let us spend money. Except the very standard Lunch offer in variety and taste, everything we wanted to order from the menu the staff told us waiting time would be extremely long and that's a bad idea to order anything but the lunch menu. The place wasn't even packed 😂 Plus we showed up with a Baby trolley and immediately got the answer that inside it's not possible to get a table. So they got us a table on the terrace and this space looks like a junkyard and cars were driving in and out all the time right next to the table.

And oh i almost forgot to talk about the sushi... There is not much to say cus we were just able to order the lunch menu and that was ok, our local sushi take away stall does it much better. One thing is great, the price was cheap, but to charge a lot for this would ended in a 1 Star rating. Maybe we picked a bad day, but this place is not even close to the reputation it has on all the online platforms or just no one knows about really god sushi 🤔 staff is extremly unfriendly and stressed and we did not felt welcome at all, the opposite of the japanese welcoming...

Update: Visited in February 2025

This restaurant offers a great selection of Japanese dishes. Unlike many establishments that claim to serve Japanese cuisine but in reality offer a mix of various Asian dishes, this is truly an authentic Japanese restaurant with a strong focus on sushi.

The venue is very small and follows the traditional style of restaurants in Japan, meaning that only a limited number of guests can be accommodated. Without a reservation, finding a free table can be quite challenging. However, if you book in advance, you can fully enjoy the authentic Japanese atmosphere, with the kitchen located right in front of the guests, allowing you to watch the sushi masters at work.

As is the case almost everywhere in recent years, prices have increased. However, the quality and preparation of the dishes fully justify the cost.

There are several parking spaces along the main road, but they are often fully occupied. If you are arriving by car, it’s advisable to allow extra time in advance to find a free spot.

All in all, a fantastic restaurant that I can...
