Kagetsu Hartenstraat — Restaurant in Amsterdam

My friend and I passed by this restaurant and took a seat on a whim. When we were walked in we were greeted with a warm smile from the staff currently on shift yesterday. She was very sweet and welcoming. We asked if there were tables available and she said yes. We took a seat by the front window at first and the staff had told us that we were also allowed to sit upstairs where it's a little warmer. We ordered beers, curry and a udon. It took about 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive. The prices were quite alright. We often eat at another place for much cheaper but it's also in a smaller portion. In our opinion the price was fair. The quality of the food was pretty good. I enjoyed my meal, I would love to frequent here more often with my friend if we had the spendings to. The interior is also quite nice. Thanks...

The sushi were falling apart and not fresh, especially the tamago nigiri tasted like as if it’s been inside the fridge for long time. Though the hot food still seemed okay, I guess I will need to find a new decent place in...

Kagetsu is a cosy Japanese restaurant in the heart of west Amsterdam.

The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet, nice seats with street view for the solo travellers and the food is good quality.

The serving possibly lacks that quintessential Japanese presentation, maybe it’s more westernised than it should (btw I’m never in fav of westernisation of food), but it’s surely tasty, no big deal then.

The service, another major pillar for any review, is effective, discrete and timely, what else could one ask for?

In conclusion Kagetsu is a cool alternative to other more familiar cuisines if you are strolling through west Amsterdam and wondering where to have a...
