"My wife and I visited this place because being of limited German vocabulary, we were pleased to find that the menu contained dishes with Japanese names e.g. ramen, don, teriyaki, etc. This made ordering our food less of a challenge. Certainly, the atmosphere was busy and lively and the decor is the usual eclectic mix of Far-East paraphernalia that will just be all the same to the untrained eye. But actually it is a mishmash of several cultures just like the menu, so while it is mostly a Japanese-based menu, there were things that were Thai, Chinese and Korean. There were no "fusion" dishes which I always find disappointing so this was definitely a bonus. The other good thing about this place was that the portions for the noodle soups that we ordered were very large. Certainly, we were hungry at the time, but already had a couple of starters as well, the noodle soups were quite tough to finish off as well. They were also steaming hot and full of flavour. However, what is let down by this place, was actually how "not Japanese" the dishes were that we ordered. I ordered the agadashi tofu and it was garnished with lots of red chilli, and that is certainly not what this dish is about, since it is supposed to be a light, mild dish. We also ordered the pork satay which was fine. For our noodle soups I ordered the Tori Ramen and my wife had the Chasui Udon. First off, we did eat it all, but I think we were both surprised at how they did not look like what we were expecting. As with the agadashi tofu, for some reason, there was a desire to cover them with chopped red chilli. But these dishes were not highlighted as being spicy. Secondly, the meats with our dishes were certainly not done in a Japanese fashion. I had expected the chicken to be something similar to a teriyaki, and the chasui (pork) we expected to look like slices of rolled meat. Instead, in both cases, we simply had lots of slices of well-marinaded meat. They did taste good, but I think we had different hopes. In summary, the food was good for an Asian style restaurant, but not authentic considering their menu."
