arsién in Lübeck

Our favorite restaurant for years. Phenomenal sushi, exceptional ambience, no need to look for a parking space thanks to the parking garage next door. According to our children “7 out of 5 possible stars”.

We had booked a table for 18.45, but we ended up waiting for a quarter of an hour before we were seated. Subsequently, we waited for half an hour to order food. When 1.5 hours had passed we finally got our food. We were getting hungry and wanted to order more but this was not an option because they had already closed the kitchen at 8pm? It can't be right that you have 2 hours at the restaurant to eat, and there is such a long wait, and that you close the kitchen so early. We had to leave and find another sushi place so we could get our fill. Really a shame when the sushi we got finally tasted really good.... All in all I think the wait and service ruined our whole experience and we left very disappointed

We would be happy to come back at any time. The sushi creations are always a pleasure and the ambience is simply great.

Really bad experience! Positive: Ambience. The bill came after 5 minutes. Negative: Waited 45 minutes, no food order possible. Drinks arrived after half an hour, the girls next to us, who sat before us and were allowed to order shortly after us, received their drinks after 35 minutes. The woman directing the seats didn't take orders and initially didn't offer a table for half an hour when it was full. But you could reserve online. There were hardly any waitresses in sight, although they were nice and friendly, they had been to some tables three times and not to ours at all. 6 men worked in a continuous loop on the food, but somehow hardly anyone got anything. There was a table of four next to us that had either finished eating a long time ago and couldn't order anything to drink or wasn't asked if they wanted food. Plus the incredibly high prices. Maybe justified, but... We then paid and left; 2 hours after first entering and not even food in sight - this has never happened to me and doesn't speak for the store. Everyone can have a bad day, but there was something wrong here. I can't recommend it at all.

-A fantastic experience- that's how I would describe our evening. The ambience, the harmonious decoration and the comfortable seating invite you to linger. The sushi was an experience, high quality products were used and the food was unique. It's worth a visit here!

Today we ordered sushi from our new darling for the second time. We can really only recommend the “Arsién”. The presentation…TOP The quality…TOP Sustainability… TOP Today there was a great bottle of rosé wine as a free gift. Until next time 🫶 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fresh sushi, lovingly prepared in a great atmosphere. It's worth its price.

Really a great restaurant!! Even if it's rather expensive, it's worth it. Probably the best sushi 🍣 ever eaten there 👍🏼 TOP 👍🏼

We ordered the sushi a la arsien to take away for two people. It was a dream. We had never eaten such good shushi before. First-class quality at the highest level.

Very nice restaurant, sushi was very tasty and the service was polite but not intrusive. I'll be back

Yummy, Yummy! World's best sushi!! In a really nice atmosphere with the best service. Be sure to try the homemade lemonade!

Food at a high price, but everything is excellent: nice atmosphere, very nice service and particularly delicious sushi with incredibly tasty wasabi. Although we had to wait a little longer for our food, we got a very tasty dessert from the restaurant for free without any complaints. I'm looking forward to next time!

The cocktails were twice as big about two or three months ago😕, otherwise great as always

This is my favorite restaurant in Lübeck ❤️

I was at Arsién for the first time on Thursday November 7th. A great location with pleasant facilities and atmosphere. She found the lower toilet rooms bombastic - the best of town! But much more important was the really tasty and eye-catchingly well-presented food. Friendly service and a great boss. It wasn't the last time I was here. And as a slightly different city guide for Lübeck, I now know a really exceptional, great restaurant as a tip for my guests.

I was there with my family in November. Great shusi restaurant, great service, super great shusi. Small note: there was no small offer for younger guests on the menu. You're great. Monika Müller...

It was my first time there and it was great, super nice atmosphere, absolutely nice and courteous service, the food picked me up. All I can say is I'll be back, thank you very much

The food was great, you can tell the passion behind it. The owner took care of us himself, a very friendly person. It was my wife's birthday that day and there was a surprise dessert for her, a very nice gesture. The atmosphere is very nice and I can only recommend it to everyone.

Always a very successful evening in an extremely cozy atmosphere and the finest sushi.

We have been guests at Arsien again and again since it opened (still on Mühlenstrasse)! The sushi is incredibly tasty and the staff and owner are very nice. The restaurant is stylishly decorated. If you are in Lübeck, you should definitely eat there.

The food was great, very nice staff, the decor was great, the only thing that was annoying was the noise in the fully occupied restaurant.

We had a great experience at Arsien Sushi! Although our order was about 30 minutes late due to a misunderstanding, the sushi was absolutely perfect - a 10/10. As someone with experience in the hospitality industry, I know that sometimes there can be unforeseen delays and the team handled the situation in a friendly and professional manner. The food was so fresh and tasteful that we will definitely come back. Next time we will definitely reserve a table to enjoy the great atmosphere on site. Thanks to the team for the delicious food and great service! Bilo mo

Final score sushi 🍱🤤😋 You can taste the passion ❤️‍🔥 from the boss. It's crazy what quality is made here for you. You have to take a look at Insta 👀 This isn't just any sushi shop. Arsien lives sushi 🍣!!! In addition, there is a kind of friendly and lived customer orientation. Well and then the shop. What can I say? You would expect it more in New York 🗽 than in Lübeck. Going to the toilet at the latest 🚽 leaves you speechless. Just wow!

Delicious. You also pay a corresponding amount. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Was there with guests from Singapore, they like it, so I like it too.😊 Plants inside the Restaurant - Superb! ❤️

Top sushi, incredibly tasty and prepared with perfect craftsmanship. We had the platter for 2 and some starters. That was everything at its best.

The best sushi I have personally ever eaten, the staff are very accommodating. I always enjoy eating with you and am happy to recommend Arsien Restaurant to everyone :)

Very tasty sushi. Not cheap but great quality and you're happy to pay for it!

The food was delicious and I thought the shop looked very nice too

Delicious food, good drinks! Unfortunately the wait was a bit long, but it was definitely worth it for the taste of the food.

Where should I start? I don't think you need to say much about the food. This is done well in this restaurant. You have to hand it to Mr. A. However, the prices have fallen victim to the owner's madness. From Milan to Madrid, from Barcelona to Zurich, from Dubai to Antalya. The owner of this restaurant cannot be surpassed in his megalomania and need for recognition. Exactly 1 thing in this world is important to him. This is neither the customer nor any business partner. It's money. Only money. And to achieve this he does everything possible. Everything is included, from tax evasion and fraud in several cases to illegal work (these are just the most important offenses - if necessary, you just need to ask the police in Lübeck). He has a long history of successful scams. Be it a former love that he abandoned with a loan taken out especially for him, be it a former best friend whom he cheated out of 10,000 euros or the last case, his masterpiece, drove a group of companies into bankruptcy because of this got the shop set up in Lübeck (100,000 euros, unfortunately I have to withhold the exact amount) and then decided he didn't need the partner (AFTER successful financing). This person is evil through and through. This may not be noticeable at first glance because he tries to lull the person opposite him with endless chatter and fake emotions, but if you look behind the facade it quickly becomes apparent. There's no point in constantly telling guests that this store is their heart and soul. Mr. A. was only able to realize this store thanks to the contacts, skills, money and vision of the group of companies that had been driven to ruin. Point. This is the truth that is unfortunately always neglected. There's no need to contribute to the Gastroschwafler, sorry *Gastro Whisperer*. In the end it can be said that everyone is free to eat there. The food is OK. However, you should know and keep in mind WHO you are supporting here.

The best sushi restaurant in Lübeck! Everything high quality and super service! I recommend 100%

Great food, great ambience and nice staff!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Highly recommended and we especially enjoyed the sushi burgers! :)

From a purely visual point of view, it's a very chic shop. What comes to the table, however, is well-crafted, but mediocre in taste at a premium price. Sometimes the food came to the table surprisingly warm, which is not entirely safe given the current temperatures and raw fish - no matter how high quality it is - and I have never experienced this before. As far as I'm concerned, I'll leave it at this visit and keep my distance in the future.

The sushi was delicious. The wasabi and gari were also close to Japanese items. I would recommend cooking the rice just a little bit more.

There isn't much to criticize about this restaurant, but there is one crucial point. The price. Sushi is always rather expensive anyway, but here it is actually underground. It's a shame, the hype is being exploited here

There were five of us in this restaurant. The online reservation didn't work. There was no confirmation or cancellation of the reservation. Luckily we still got a table. The food was okay and the service was nice, but not customer-oriented. The drinks and food took an incredibly long time to reach the table. We would have liked to order more drinks, it was very hot and stuffy inside, but the waitress didn't come to our table. Not good for my daughter's birthday dinner. The paid parking garage next to it makes the journey to the city of Lübeck relaxed. We won't be back and are disappointed with the service.

The waitress who served us was very unfriendly. When we needed another chair, she initially said it wasn't possible, with a wait-and-see manner and non-solution-oriented behavior. Upon further inquiry, it finally became apparent that it was possible. But we had to run after it ourselves. The food was very tasty and the male staff were very friendly and personable compared to the women.

Perfect sushi in a perfect atmosphere. Thanks!

Really very nicely decorated store and friendly staff. Although the sushi was really tasty, I still had the feeling that it could have been a bit better or more special for the relatively high price. All in all, definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Lübeck.

Great food, always an experience… Everyone is super friendly... Nice, green and modern atmosphere One of my favorites in Lübeck

I can only recommend it, the waiters are very friendly, the atmosphere there is nothing better and the food is always fresh!

Another perfect evening! Thank you!

I now come from Hamburg specifically to eat sushi with you, because in my opinion there is no better place for it. Your sushi is simply incredibly delicious – really mega, mega, mega good! The service is always friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful, and there is absolutely nothing to complain about. If it were possible, I would give you six stars out of five! I have one small request: Could you perhaps add the miso soup to the menu? That would be the icing on the cake for a perfect experience. Keep it up – it’s just perfect!

We had a great evening! We were greeted very friendly and the drinks came quickly. Since the kitchen was very busy, we waited a little longer for our order. However, we were more than compensated with a great greeting from the kitchen, a round of drinks and a surprise dessert. The food was very tasty, great and freshly prepared. A nice place in Lübeck where you can eat excellently. Thank you.

Always my pleasure. Very nice service!

Highly recommended, top sushi masters and top staff

Very good food, although a little higher priced. Ambience very nice.

The last time I was here was about 2 years ago and I had the best sushi of my life. Today I finally went back to Lübeck for an evening with my wife and I wanted to show her the best sushi ever. FYI: My wife is American and has had the best sushi in the world in California (Newport Beach) or Las Vegas. So their expectations were extremely high. Since we have a dog, we ordered to-go. What can I say... your expectations were far exceeded. It was a real experience! We both couldn't help but be amazed, it was a pure taste explosion! For this very high quality, the price is more than fair! In Newport Beach, a comparable 2-plate would easily cost twice as much. Summarized: Sushi is an art that the arsién masters masterfully. Thank you so much for the experience! Jess & Felix

A really nice restaurant with a great ambience! The staff is very attentive and friendly! We can only recommend it! Lots of attention to detail! When we're back in the north, we'll always be happy to come back!

Hey guys, the sushi 🍣 here is at the highest level. To date, I have never seen anything comparable to the quality and dedication of sushi preparation! The soy sauce and wasabi are even made specifically for those from Japan "as far as I know". They even have their own vodka (you have to try it) which is absolutely awesome🤤! The fish is of very good quality. It doesn't get any better! We are big sushi fans and have come especially from Osnabrück to convince ourselves of the quality. We were even exceeded by our expectations! The ambience is very nice and radiates a pleasant warmth in a modern style. Thanks to the staff for the great hospitality, attention and great time. An absolute recommendation for anyone who likes high quality!!! We'd love to come back. 😊

Great location. I've been a regular customer for years. Everything for a perfect evening.

Great atmosphere and very tasty sushi🍣.

We were in this restaurant for the first time, we really liked everything, the sushi was excellent. Prices are steep, but you have to pay for quality 🤝

We were there twice and it was great. Last time, however, we were so very disappointed... There was no beer because the refrigeration was broken (that can happen), then no tuna... and we only got all this information after 6 people had studied the menu and agreed decided on their food.

We were able to spend a cozy Friday evening at Arsién. The food was great, the atmosphere was very stylish. The only point of criticism was the outfit of the female waiter. The skirt should completely cover the bottom. This really irritated not only us, but also some other guests and simply doesn't fit with the style of the house.

Fantastic sushi, really tasty! Unfortunately the service isn't that great, we waited a long time for our drinks. Afterwards we wanted to order dessert, but decided against it because of the long waiting time.

We liked the food and ambience, the price was definitely higher and the service was a bit overloaded.

Very tasty fusion sushi and good cocktails. The ratio of rice to content is great.

To be honest - I've rarely had such an experience while visiting a restaurant. The way to the private locations was a feast for the eyes. Someone has really put some thought into this! 🤩 There are no paper towels, just small towels. Simply a dream! Everything was just perfect here! I don't have a photo of the food, but you can see that enough here. I was initially concerned that the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl might not be enough; However, I was taught better. Absolutely adequate and highly recommended! ♥️ (Caution: spicy) The waitresses and the boss were super nice and accommodating. I can only recommend the restaurant!!

AN EXPERIENCE!!! Great food, great restaurant! Quality has its price - everything fits here! All in all, we had a wonderful evening here!

The sushi is very, very, very tasty. Price reasonable for the great quality. The service was good. Two points of criticism here... it was cleared away even though there was still something in the bowl. Well, maybe she didn't see it until too late. Even though it was only 1 piece we felt a bit rushed. Still don't deduct a star because otherwise we felt really comfortable.

Friendly service, great exclusive ambience, high quality sushi. Thanks for that

I can't even describe how great the evening was today. We celebrated our daughter Gloria's 18th BIRTHDAY. It was such great service and the food was delicious. My husband was always anti sushi, and today he's a fan. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back.

I've been eating at Arsien's for some time now, even when the restaurant was still on Mühlenstrasse...now I've decided that the visit on May 16th was my last visit there. In Mühlenstrasse the service and the ambience were great, one of the main reasons why I felt comfortable there, but unfortunately this has completely deteriorated. I paid 102 euros for 6 rolls of sushi, a coke and a small amount of water...It used to be worth it but now...in front of the restaurant there were 2 cooks smoking, a waitress who served me with her midriff on, cucumber water with the glasses on top of each other They were brought to the table in piles (I could break it), you're greeted with a dumb word, which I don't think is appropriate for a restaurant like this, no other drinks are served on the tray, the music is way too loud... to name just a few. ..my conclusion, just good food isn't enough to stand out from other restaurants...it's a shame

I can't say anything bad about the sushi, it was great. But what you would expect given the price. But we were missing the perfect service, in my opinion we are in a very high-class restaurant with a great ambience. I expect a high-class, trained service that will catch me from start to finish. I expect people to be attentive to whether drinks are still available, or to banal things like high-quality napkins. I'm happy to pay a lot of money for a great restaurant, but not with what I unfortunately think is a nice, charming, but not attentive or well-educated staff.

Top Restaurant! Tolles Essen und Getränke. Lediglich die Weinauswahl könnte größer sein, allerdings geht es hier im wesentlichen um leckeres Essen :-) Die Cocktails waren Oberlegger!!!

The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. The beer from the local brewery is a matter of taste.

Very nice location with exceptionally creative sushi offerings. Staff very friendly and attentive. The staff made sure the children had a lot of relaxation with spontaneous drinks. Thank you for the lovely, spontaneous evening.

This restaurant is truly an experience for all the senses! Great concert, delicious food and exceptional cocktails! We'll be back

An absolute highlight every time! Very tasty dishes. There is a great selection of vegan and vegetarian alternatives and it is particularly worth mentioning that even food intolerances (gluten intolerance) are taken into account. Great atmosphere and a very friendly and attentive team.

We were visiting here and had to wait a bit at the entrance until we were welcomed. Our waitress didn't greet us very friendly. For a restaurant like this you would expect a warm welcome. I think the prices for sushi are quite high, so we decided on a sushi platter for 41 euros. What we didn't know was that it was charged per person, but the menu said that the plate costs 41 euros. In the end we were surprised that each of us had to pay an additional 41 euros. When the sushi was served we were given a large plate and a smaller one. Unfortunately, we did not receive an explanation of what our sushi contains. We saw this done to another couple. The service seemed a bit snooty.

Lecker und qualitativ hochwertiges Sushi! Tolle Atmosphäre und sehr schöne Einrichtung. Wünsche wurden aufgenommen und erfüllt! Gerne wieder!

High ambitions, but the finishing touches are still missing. We waited a long time for food on a Wednesday evening. The service staff still need some training and seem rather unprofessional. But 5 stars 🌟 are possible!

The best sushi in Lübeck and the surrounding area!!

In order to get straight to the point that I see as something that could be improved, I would like to mention the beer selection, which is a bit narrow. Even if it doesn't seem to fit into the concept, I think that you should/could also enjoy a nice 0.5 beer with excellent sushi. There are few words to say about the rest of the evening. We had a sushi platter for two......and it was wonderful. The atmosphere and the staff: chic! Important, and nowadays almost a unique selling point, are the adventurous sanitary facilities. Actually you could have had dinner there too. You really don't see something like that every day. All in all...we look forward to the next time.

Arsien is by far the best sushi restaurant in Lübeck! The sushi is excellent and is not inferior in quality even to the Henssler & Henssler in Hamburg-Altona. The ambience (suggested jungle atmosphere) and the furnishings are pleasant. The service is good and not objectionable. The price-performance ratio is acceptable given the quality of the sushi, although on the higher end.

A great experience in the Lübeck gastronomy world. Very nice location, committed and friendly employees. There were five of us and everyone was very satisfied with the food and drinks. Sushi and the other dishes were absolutely amazing, as were the bowls. We will be happy to be your guests again.

Great restaurant, prices are rather high, but it actually tastes good and you'll be full. Ipanema is also very tasty and has an intense taste. So if you want to do something special, Arsién is a great address.

Stylishly furnished, very great atmosphere. The food was super tasty and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately the service staff was very poor and unmotivated. People were more likely to chat with their colleagues at the counter instead of serving the guests. Over 30 minutes of waiting time before the order was even taken and that only when we asked when we could order. The food came before the drinks... The table was only half cleared after the meal and some plates were left standing. No request for further requests. The payment process also took a long time and it took a good 20 minutes before the invoice even came. At that time the restaurant was no longer full. It's a real shame that the staff's performance here simply wasn't right!

Delicious sushi in a beautiful atmosphere with great staff. We were here for the first time today and absolutely loved it. We ate sushi with tuna and flambeed salmon, so fresh, so delicious. You had the feeling that the fish was caught and served on the same day, really great. Sure, it's not cheap here, but if you want to eat high-quality sushi, you've come to the right place. It's worth every penny. We would love to come back!!!

This sushi restaurant in Lübeck is a true gem for vegans. The ambience is stylish and inviting, and the service was friendly and accommodating. I only tried the vegan options and was amazed by the variety and quality of the dishes. The sushi bowl was freshly prepared and full of flavor. It's refreshing to see a restaurant taking such good care of its vegan guests. I highly recommend this restaurant to all vegans and sushi lovers!

Wir waren hier zu Besuch, wir haben am Eingang etwas warten müssen bis wir empfangen wurden. Unsere Kellnerin begrüßte uns nicht gerade freundlich. Für ein Restaurant wie dieses erwartet man ein herzlichen Empfang. Ich fände die Preise für sushi schon recht hoch wir entschieden uns für ein sushi Platte für 41 Euro. Was wir nicht wussten das es pro Person berechnet wird. Es ist eine Frechheit wenn man in der Karte reinschrwibt das eine Platte für 2 Personen 41 Euro kostet und sie dann pro Person berechnet wird. Als das sushi serviert wurde erhielten wir eine große Platte und eine kleinere. Wir haben leider keine Erklärung erhalten was unser sushi enthält. Wir haben gesehen das dies aber bei ein anderen Paar gemacht wurde. Der Service wirkte etwas hochnäsig. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Real nice Sushi. However, they had no Sake

The sushi is good. Unfortunately the service was unacceptable. Long waiting times and staff without an overview. Added to this are poor acoustics. It is extremely loud in the restaurant. I wouldn't visit the restaurant again.

My visit was an absolute taste experience. Top quality in a wonderful ambience! Really unique and recommended!

Incredibly delicious sushi. We had a surprise record and they really thought of something nice for us. Both fish eaters and vegetarians can enjoy very good sushi here. Even the toilet is an experience But it has its price. We all got full, drank something and ordered edamame and paid €140 in total. So it's not something you can eat every day. But it was definitely worth it! A typical restaurant for the sentence "you have to treat yourself sometimes"

Unfortunately it hasn't developed positively over the years. It used to be a down-to-earth, good sushi restaurant. No longer comparable to today and the horrendous, unjustifiable prices that are sometimes charged for a simple inside out role. Overpriced and arrogant.

What a great restaurant. The sushi and sashimi were deliciously warm and buttery soft. Unfortunately you couldn't order bottled sake, but on the other hand they serve some very good white wines. The interior is very chic and modern at the same time. The owner (from Armenia) came by for a quick chat.

Dit restaurant straalt een chique en moderne sfeer uit. Ondanks dat het groot is voelt het toch knus aan. De sushi en sashimi zijn heerlijk op temperatuur en boterzacht. De witte wijnen op de lijst zijn stuk voor stuk pareltjes. Wij hebben de Vermentino gekozen. Perfect combinatie met de vis. De eigenaar neemt ook de tijd om even kort praatje te komen maken. Enige advies, zet ook Sake (per fles) op de kaart 😃

Insanely good. Not cheap, but reasonable in my opinion. Very good service that can actually say something about the food and the composition of the plate for two. I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK!!!

Great shop, great atmosphere. Great food.

We stopped in Lübeck on our way from Hamburg and were referred this place by a local. The sushi was very good, but note that it is on the smaller portion size. We had some nice cocktails and whiskey as well. Very nice vibe and space as well ✅

Premium sushi in a trendy location. Otherwise a few negative points for an overall 5-star rating: rather higher price, somewhat cool temperature, large and restlessly loud room. Very courteous service.

Creative sushi in a bar atmosphere, that would be my title for the review. The menu includes a wide selection of sushi. We had the mix for two, which alone will definitely fill you up. We also tried a few starters, so there was something left over at the end. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. Cocktails also worth their price. Wine by the glass too expensive for the quantity offered. Service not as attentive as expected.

Truly an exceptional restaurant with outstanding sushi and a classy atmosphere. We had a wonderful evening where everything was just right. The cocktails and beer were also extremely tasty!

This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this AMAZING restaurant. From the minute you walk through the door the experience is out of this world. You are truly made to feel welcome. The food is beyond description, it is utterly delicious. I have travelled far and wide and in my experience to date this is the BEST sushi I have ever tasted! The service the surroundings the location the artisan feel of the restaurant is breathtaking. Really I cannot compliment this restaurant enough. It’s OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Thanks Arsien for the beautiful experience, I cannot wait to go back.

This sushi restaurant offers an impressive selection of fresh seafood, artfully prepared rolls and authentic Japanese flavors. The elegantly designed atmosphere and friendly staff ensure an unforgettable dining experience.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly team and felt very comfortable from the first second. The start of the evening in the really special atmosphere was a success, but the sushi afterwards completely exceeded our expectations... Simply excellent! We tried our way across the map. Here people know their craft. Craziness. We had a really wonderful evening that I will remember for a long time with the delicious food and an extraordinary ambience. Many thanks to the arsién team and see you soon!
