So when, after a hard day's work, we felt like going out for a quick bite, we were confronted with an overload of viable options. We opted for Usagi because the wife had been here before and quite liked it.Long story short, this is a great place for a quick bite. The ambience is nice. Not what you would expect from a restaurant specialising in Japanese cuisine, and that is a good thing. The waiters were extremely fast, efficient, but - most importantly - knowledgeable. The wife wanted to try the cardamom tonic water, and they came up with a fitting gin (a Dutch one from the extremely well stocked drinks menu).As for food, we simply stuck with small dishes, and quite a few of them. Everything was fresh, very nicely presented, and tasted in a way that someone who grew up in Düsseldorf simply could not complain about. The home-made kimchi was very nice, as was, truth be told (and check out the pictures) everything else. The only downside: The restaurant only offers three types of beer. One Japanese (maize and rice), one from Baden-Wuerttemberg (and there is a reason that state is famous for its wines, and infamous for its attempts at beer), and a local craft beer we had tried before and written up as a sorry mistake. But who needs beer when the cocktail menu well stocked, well presented, and affordable?Overall, we had a pleasant dinner. Usagi completely lacks any more refined Japanese dishes, but what they offer is well executed, equally well presented, reasonably priced - and really very tasty. Nice!
