Starting with 5 stars, -1 or +1 depending on experience.
-1 : Too much avocado on the menu. Menu is very American (the excessive avocado inclusion, Cali rolls, Philly rolls, Alaska rolls, to name a few).
0 : Service was neutral, borderline IDGAF, which is a bit of a shock when you're expecting お・も・て・な・し, but wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing. We had pretty good rapport in Japanese, but I only wonder how it would be if it were in German / English. Could be better or worse.
-1 : Food took a while to arrive.
+1 : Sashimi was nice and buttery, just a touch above what you'd get from prepacked sushi boxes in the Asian grocery store.
0: Chef forgot that we asked to remove avocado, but was quickly sent back when we notified the server. So, -1 then +1.
+1: I would say the sushi is worth the price. But do not get the individual sushi that cost 3 euros per piece. I recommend getting the combis, like Alaskan kombi. That was enough for 2 people (if you're not a food gobbler).
-1: The aburi sushi was sacrilege. Normally, one would make the sushi, add the sauces and mayo on top, the lightly sear the top with a blow torch. In this restaurant, they fully cooked the sashimi. It was awful.
-1 : Sushi tidyness could use with some work. See photo.
0 : Music was ukulele music of famous cinematic songs, which was a bit odd. Decor was not very cohesive. The only truly Japanese item that I enjoyed was the vertical menu board. I decided not to revoke/award points because this didn't affect my experience very much. I nonetheless write it here because I did notice these things.
