NIKKEI NINE

I'm a usual customer already! Excellent service, many options of Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine and always great attention to detail. You can choose from their menu or let their personnel recommend you and do a tasting menu. They also have amazing cocktails and a fantastic wine selection.

What an amazing night at Nikkei Nine! Atmosphere, food, service - everything was just beyond perfect. Especially we really loved Cheviche and Yuzu Sancho cocktail. Thanks again for the great evening and I definitely would love to visit again.

I feel bad writing this review because the server actually seemed like a nice individual. However at a restaurant of this quality there are certain standards that should be at least the bare minimum.
We had a reservation at 8:30 pm and weren’t seated until 8:40 after arriving 10 minutes early. There was only one host working and a line of 5 reservations waiting to be seated. One of these tables happened to get their starter before we had even been given a drink menu (they gave us food menus to start).
It took another half an hour for us to get our drinks and put in our food orders. When that did happen, one of the appetizers we ordered was sold out. (I know this happens, but they included it on our bill at the end of the meal). When our entrees did come out, they brought the wrong entree for my girlfriend and she had to wait another 20 minutes for her food (sashimi).
All told it was almost 3 hours from the time we were seated until we were able to pay the check. I’m sure some people would not mind not being rushed, but when this length is due to your table largely being ignored and continuous mistakes being made by the staff it is very frustrating. All we were offered was a “we are very sorry! This is not normal. Please give us another chance.” I don’t see this happening as our customer experience was so poor.

The only reason for this being two stars is the food is actually good as well as the ambiance. And although that combination is a majority of the experience the service and professionalism was so poor I can’t in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone.

Great Japanese restaurant in Hamburg. The journey begins as soon as you enter the restaurant. You descend the stairs and are immediately greeted in a very friendly manner.

I was already escorted to my table and offered an aperitif while I waited for my other colleagues.

They even brought me a book about Japanese cuisine, so I didn't get bored.

The ambience is very modern and therefore hardly reminiscent of Japan. Nevertheless, it looks very elegant and classy.

The service was super friendly from start to finish and always on hand.

We opted for the sharing menu. This gave us the opportunity to taste through the menu.

Everything was really phenomenal. From the starter to the middle course. The main course consisted of a t-bone steak, iberico fillet, black cod and squid. Both fish dishes were absolutely superb. Only the t-bone steak was cold and the meat unfortunately a bit tough. With the iberico, it would have been nice if he had brought us the duck, as it is a signature dish of the house.

Overall, we were very satisfied with everything.

Ambience 4 stars
Service 5 stars
Food 4 stars

Many thanks to Dennis for the great evening and the great service.
