Zenkichi Modern Japanese Brasserie

Place is beautiful but we arrived to the restaurant to find that, when booking for more than 6 people (we were 7), everyone has to go for the 65 EUR - 8-course menu, with 10% tip added, no drinks included. Steep from the a la carte options and inflexible if someone wants to take a lighter option. Staff didn't offer us any alternative... disappointing customer service. We had to walk out.

Top class. The amazing decor, food, sake and service. There can be no better restaurant in Berlin. Unlike other Japanese places in Berlin, this is totally authentic. You could easily be in Japan. If it was in Japan it would probably have Michelin Stars. The entrance is hard to find, but that is part of the thrill

We ordered a table for our 8th anniversary. The restaurant is located in the basement level, which adds charm to its personally chosen decorative interior. We chose the 4-course menu which was tasty and kept our tummies full, along with Japanese beers. The crew was very attentive, helpful and polite. It was once in a life time experience.

Nothing really wrong with the place but not worth the price tag. The tasting menu left us hungry, and had relatively few highlights overall. All portions are small. Very little value ingredients such as amazing fish. If you are looking for a decent Japanese eat at reasonable prices look elsewhere. If you are not hungry, on an expense budget, and looking for a trendy place, this one is cut for you.

Great food in extreme interesting atmosphere. Only thing is the portion is a bit too small ...although the Japanese cuisine is variety of small dishes but somehow it was too much. The decorations and furnishings are very interesting and reminds me original Kyoto Kaiseki restaurant. It is not for family with small children since the while concept should be enjoyed with mature manner in tranquility ..
