Izakaya J-Bar - München

EXCELLENT japanese food, amazing atmosphere, perfect for take-away too.

Highly recommend, delicious typical Japanese food, a tiny restaurant with an amiable atmosphere we were here already several times and will come back, for sure.

On this special evening we actually went to a Vietnamese restaurant that we had found at google. this was too crowded, so we decided to just go into a certain direction to see what we could find... we never thought we would find such a good place. we sat in the restaurant and noticed that there was a muddy machine and a frozen beer was delivered to people. we had to try! So they pour the beer in as usual, but the head comes from a muddy machine, I must say it's a bizarre experience to drink one of them, but I could get behind it because it keeps her drink more cold. this was just the beginning. I ordered the tuna sashimi at the beginning and the chicken teriyaki as the main dish. eating was perfect, the chicken was full of taste and they arranged a small amount of sushi rolls on the edge of the teller, including a tofu fish on the side. but the main event for me was the sashimi. it was the water in mouth converging and it melted on my back, they gave you a really good portion and I never wanted it to end. for the price it was a spectacular court. it was all in detail. I said after that, “I would only come back to me for this sashimi.”

This restaurant has the most honest Japanese food I ever had outside japans. I am a Canadian and come from vancouver (where we have a great Japanese influence), traveled a lot through japan and I can now tell them that this really hearty Japanese food comes as close as possible. Japanese eating is not just about sushi people! So for those looking for sushi, they go somewhere else. this is more like Japanese home cooking, which translates humble ingredients, culture and presentation. for a city like a little of super chic / hip, pretentious Japanese etablissements ... this is not one of them ... it is a small fund pit of a place! I think I have circled loudly when I first set a foot in and looked around in the facility. I had the grilled aal and my man had the homemade bark stew from J-Bar as main dish. the Takoyaki balls were super delicious! all foods are served in traditional Japanese tone/ceramic/wood spoons - my aal was even served in a traditional Unagi snack box! sure, this place is somewhat more expensive and slower with orders than their "running sushi" next door, but please consider the fact that it is literally two people behind in the kitchen that prepare everything from ground to eat. It's worth it. I really think that the people who have written bad critikens here have to go to japan or watch a YouTube video, as a Japanese soup/pot is prepared there. it is a love work. and J-Bar is really exactly that, a hearty matter! ps: ach, and on a hot summer day as today (30 c grad) get the "frozen beer"!

They refused to give me a table for a person (yes, some people travel alone!), with the foundation that the restaurant is full.
