Deli Dojo in Idstein

A beautifully designed restaurant with a cheap lunch menu I missed the curry spice in the dough, the duck was relatively tasteless The gyoza were great

Come for the sashimi, not the rice. The salmon sashimi was top notched and the complimentary miso soup was tasty too. Unfortunately the sushi rice was mushy. Note that this place is cash only.

Cute Asian spot in an otherwise quiet and traditional town center. Perfect weather to sit on the terrace and enjoy a hot cup of miso and delicious sushi. The fish is absolutely on point, yet, coming from Asia, the rice needs some work. The acidity of the sushi rice is lacking and it’s a bit overly sticky. Otherwise, great lunch!

Sushi was exceptionally good. Service and value for money very good. Good ambience, excellent location

A very great restaurant with Asian fusion cuisine and a focus on sushi. The dishes are beautifully garnished and taste good. Even after repeated visits, you can still discover new things on the map.

Always delicious - hopefully back in the sun soon. Vegan versions are also possible.

Danger! You can only pay in cash! The ambience and the staff were perfect. We had spring rolls as a starter, which were amazing. The salad with mango, on the other hand, was not worth the €7.50. For the main course we had salmon (No. 30), highly recommended, and chicken, which wasn't great, somehow tasted like fish.

Sushi good. Staff nice and quick. Price performance really good!

It was freezing cold do we decided to worm ourdelf with a boiling soup. It wascso good that we decidedcto try other dishes and everything was top notch. Servicecwas also excellent despite the language barrier.

★★★★★ Absolutely recommended! This Asian restaurant completely convinced me! The dishes are fresh, authentic and prepared with a lot of love. The salmon (No. 30) in particular was a highlight – perfectly seasoned and super tasty. The staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is cozy and stylish. The portions are generous and the price-performance ratio is absolutely right. Definitely an insider tip for everyone who loves Asian cuisine! I'd love to come back.

The service and food are excellent! 😊

We were at Deli Dojo for the first time on Friday and definitely not the last time. We were particularly excited about the tempura, but everything else was just great too. We'd love to come back.

The chicken fried noodles are generous and delicious, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. The Thai Tom Kha Gai soup is sweet and delicious. Payable in cash only

Absolutely! Very worthwhile and a pleasure every time after all these years.

The restaurant is centrally located in Idstein, a short walk from the Hexenturm parking lot. We were there for lunch in a large group. The food from the lunch menu was okay, tasty and in sufficient quantity. In addition to the small lunch menu, there is also a regular menu with lots of sushi and other items. The service deserves a middle grade, the service is quick, but doesn't ask much (more drinks, it was tasty) and you have to be asked to pay. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant is not acceptable. The thin plastic covering that was loosely laid over the original floor covering many years ago is extensively damaged in many places and is significantly worn overall, as is the furniture. In the corners there is dust and leftover food that has probably fallen from previous guests. The menus are all worn, dirty, sticky and stuck with scotch tape. The toilets also shine with poor cleaning and completely worn out furniture (the toilet seats probably deserved to be replaced years ago). The dishes are also chipped, some of the glasses are completely scratched, and here too a replacement is long overdue.

I wonder how a service worker behind the counter while preparing sushi can have such an infectious cough? The cough itself wouldn't have been the worst thing, but that sputum! You can't do that in the service area when preparing food or your colleagues would have to stop you if the young man doesn't realize that he belongs in the sick bed!? My appetite was gone when I noticed this, and my mother had the food packed up (so that she wouldn't eat it at home either...). I also noticed this discomfort from the other guests because of the ejection noise. And it was impossible to miss it because the coughing/phlegm was severe and filled the entire dining room. Otherwise, I always enjoyed coming here from Eppstein. But for me that's an absolute no-go and a reason not to go there again.

Sushi is very tasty. Thai curry also tastes very good

A spontaneous stay in Idstein led us to Deli Dojo. The Google reviews are absolutely incomprehensible to us. The menu is broad Asian. The starters were okay. The main courses were recommended to us - the curry was more like a soup and the meat was bone dry and tough. Unfortunately it really didn't taste good.

The sushi is beautifully prepared. The starter soup and spring rolls were also delicious. The toilets were renovated as intended and not skilfully but were pretty broken and messy (which may also be due to other guests) Unfortunately, after eating raw sushi, we both had diarrhea the next day. It was almost to be expected after I saw on the way back from the toilet that the colleague who was preparing the sushi was playing on his cell phone. This was mounted on a stand directly above the cutting board, with some mobile game running on it. Another no-go that I observed was that an employee repeatedly took photos of the two ladies with their dogs at the neighboring table without being asked and sent them to someone. You could see that he took pictures and texted immediately afterwards. Was a very disappointing experience.

Deli Dojo is simply top and stands out from the usual restaurants in Idstein. This is where a great atmosphere, very friendly staff and delicious Japanese food come together. Since it opened, things have been running like clockwork here and I've never had to complain about anything. The prices are around €20-30 per person with a drink and main course, but they are totally justified for the size of the portions. From the starter soup, to the rice or noodle main course or to the sushi... it tastes absolutely delicious every time In the last few years I've tried out the menu a bit and even if you're not a sushi fan you'll definitely find something here. Of the starter soups, I can highly recommend the Misake. Of the main courses, I think Katsu Nest, Classic Pan, Chicken in Rice and the Monk soup are absolutely delicious. If you go out to eat here, you can't miss the Deli Dojo Lemonade. This tastes totally fresh and is something different than the classic soft drinks that are available at other restaurants. I can also highly recommend Gingerly, Mango Lassi and the Spring Liquid. The toilet rooms are always clean. The only disadvantage is that these can be reached via a spiral staircase downwards and are therefore not usable for people with wheelchairs or similar. Since the restaurant is actually very busy every day, I would be very happy if a small gift could be introduced for the guest (such as a fortune cookie or something similar). I think that some guests would be very happy about something like that and that it would also contribute to customer loyalty. All in all, I am very satisfied with the service and the food and I continue to enjoy eating here. In my opinion one of the best restaurants in Idstein and definitely worth a visit

Everything was good. The sauces and soup were wonderful. The price was very good.

Unfortunately I had to adjust my rating It used to be really good, but since the pandemic it's dirty and disgusting, stupid with raw fish

The food is always delicious and the staff is very polite. Always my pleasure

Very tasty food and quick service, Waited 1 minute and my food was there!

Super tasty. Nice staff. Gladly again.

Very good weekly menu & nice staff & nice decoration

Update November 2024 Here you can also get great sushi to take away. The quality is really good. Everything is fresh and tastes really great. The price-performance ratio is okay. It's rather quiet here on Sunday lunchtime. _______________ Very busy Asian restaurant that offers Japanese and Thai dishes on the menu. The menu is very extensive. The employees are really nice and accommodating.

Super tasty & inexpensive sushi 👍🏻 The sushi is always beautifully prepared. We really enjoy going to Deli Dojo and think the atmosphere is great.

Post update . Old photos Did you like the sauce before? Has it become too greasy? The taste has changed. It's a pity because it was very good.

Very tasty sushi and other Asian dishes. Cash only!

Delicious Japanese cuisine in a historic atmosphere with friendly service.

I was actually very convinced and found the food very tasty. The day after I had dinner there with my girlfriend, I felt really sick and so did my girlfriend. Then I thought, this can't actually be a coincidence. The stomach problems lasted the whole weekend. When I told a friend about it, she told me that the shop had probably already closed due to inadequate hygiene conditions in the kitchen. By then I'd finally lost my appetite.

Nice restaurant and beautiful scenery. Sushi was excellent and idstein is always nice. I really liked the Gyoza as an appetizer

I had a lunch menu. It was good value, a rather large serve with crispy duck, vegetables, a teriyaki sauce and enough rice. As I had toothache, I couldn't chew the vegetables and they packed it for me to take away. I boiled it at home to make it tender The staff was kind but in my view not so experienced I didn't like that we needed to go down steep steps in the dark to go to the toilet. As I told them, they mumbled some words like' in Germany it was like this.' Of course not all resturants in Germany have downstairs toilets and I found it very offensive. Management need to train their staff

Drinks and food came quickly and were delicious. Only the fried noodles were cooked. We would have had drinks if we had been asked. Food was plentiful and we were well fed. The homemade drinks were delicious. We're also thinking about going there just for the drinks. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the food didn't impress our group at all. The sweet curry duck ~ had absolutely nothing to do with curry. The rice was of such poor quality… not ok at all given the prices! The still water in bottled bottles for €5.90 ~ didn't taste good either! Unfortunately the service was very careless, neither did we want to drink something? Do we still want to pay?… unfortunately we had to wait over 30 minutes to be noticed. The worst thing is the toilets! The floor was so sticky and dirty... if I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have eaten anything here.

The dishes are delicious and the service is very friendly. Unfortunately, during our stay, a (kitchen?) employee sat down on the steps next to our table for a smoking break and did not take into account that this behavior and the cigarette smoke could possibly disturb guests. Then this person started talking on the phone...it was terrible!!!! Since I had something to celebrate and had guests, I asked the waitress to change something. None! The nice lady was probably new (2nd day, training?) and she probably had no authority to intervene here. The question about the boss remained unanswered… Therefore I will not come back and cannot recommend this place unless you come solo, without company or guests, smoke yourself and talk on the phone while eating!👎🏻

No card payment, annoying. The restaurant superficial, nice at first glance. If you look closer, there are dirty corners everywhere. Not exactly reassuring. Luckily/or unfortunately, I didn't go to the toilet until after I had eaten. While I'm standing at the urinal I look at various dead flies in the decorations. Disgusting! The fresh fish is in a display, a fat fly is sitting on the fish while the employee in front of it prefers to stare at their cell phone instead of doing anything. Is it really necessary for fresh food to lie around unpacked? The quality of the food is not at all commensurate with the price. More like a tourist rip-off. And chicken breast from the pan is not “grilled” for me.

Yes.good cheap food and friendly staff

It is highly recommended to visit the “Deli Dojo”. The ambience fits the concept wonderfully, it is very clean and you immediately feel at home. With a group of 6 people you get a nice large table with enough space. The service is friendly and ordering food is easy. Drinks come quickly and you don't have to wait forever. The sushi creations are recommended. Whether with fish or just vegetables, there are many variations. We'd love to come back :)

Very nice restaurant in the middle of the old town. It's nice to sit outside. Very tasty and fresh sushi. Great lunch menu. Highly recommend the fresh in-house drinks! Always happy!☺️

Very tasty and very good food! A definite must as an Asia fan! Not the usual "Chinese fast food" but freshly prepared and really tasty!

This was my second time here, the three of us ordered sushi and it was super quick. The sushi was mostly good, but the tuna was bad...after I told the waitress, she said she could swap it for salmon. We had it packed and she packed the tuna lemurs too. Outside it was covered in wasps and the smell of plumbing.

...traveling on a motorbike...searched on Google...and wasn't disappointed: you can eat very well here.

Too expensive, long waiting times

Unfortunately, the restaurant has declined significantly. We had different dishes. It's a shame, there were always guests every now and then. Well not anymore.

Very tasty Japanese food in a great location.

It has now become a “tradition” to meet up with friends and eat here. It's always worth a trip. Nice team and delicious sushi!

I only go here to eat sushi. Very tasty, good variety, portions, good price too. There are also cheaper menus for lunch. Tried the other dishes every now and then, tasted good, but wasn't for me. Unappetizing vegetables cut large. Toilet has also seen better days. Since I only come for the sushi, I don't discount these points. Staff is always very friendly. Update: July 27th The food is still very good, the ambience doesn't seem to have received as much attention in recent years. Going down the stairs to the toilet and the toilet itself gets scary. It would be nice if something happened here. 2 stars deducted for the ambience.

Very nice, fast service, fantastic food, somewhat kitschy decor, more than reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of the food - all in all worth a full 5 points!

Good food, friendly service, pleasant, slightly rustic - but very warm atmosphere

Great ambiance in the corner of the quiet town idstein. Its just that, when we ate there, we ordered this good for 2 person meal, after they served our starters which was the miso soup, it took 40mins for other food to arrive (which is idk if justifiable? But maybe not) just asked for them to have it take away as it is getting late, I am pregnant and it’s going to rain (we sat outside). Maybe next time, if food is coming late, let the customers know so that they will not expect. Also, i dont think its normal to wait for 40mins after they have served our starters. Food is recommendable but service needs improvement.

Despite multiple attempts to order online, no response received. Opening times are available everywhere, no clarification after calling! Incorrect kitchen times will not be communicated!

Very good food and great service.

very tasty and appetizingly prepared sushi, friendly service and nice atmosphere. I wasn't a sushi fan. After our last visit, however, I am convinced. We will be back. Dogs are also allowed and are provided with water.

We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and attentive in customer service. Delicious food at reasonable prices. The restaurant area is beautiful and cozy. Highly recommended!

Unkempt restaurant, significantly increased prices, food at a poor fast food level. Unfortunately.

It was immediately pointed out that you can only pay in cash and that you should scan the menu because a lot of things are more expensive... the question is, can you rewrite the menu... there are far too many waitresses and you could also work on the equipment, like that that you can't sit on the mini wooden benches for long ..oh yes it would have been nice to get something to eat but our order was simply forgotten..we were ignored when we contacted the waitress. So you can improve a lot of things

Upon greeting, cash payment is immediately pointed out. When the menu is presented, reference is immediately made to changed prices, which can be downloaded from the Internet. If you want to take the presented receipt with you, you will be asked if you want a receipt and the first receipt will then be exchanged for another receipt. Everything looks like illegal work, black money and tax fraud. The tax office should take care of it! Decide for yourself whether you want to leave the restaurant feeling good. The food consumed leaves a lot to be desired. Sushi very small and overpriced.

Very nice service and the food is great. You can see it's family at first glance. The boss is friendly.

The food is not fresh, my friend had stomach problems afterwards.

Traditional Japanese restaurant in the historic city center. Sensational sushi. When things get busy, stress arises. The location in the historic old building is nice, but of course it clashes with the style of the kitchen. Absolute recommendation

We have never been disappointed here. Always very tasty and good selection

Food is good but different prices were charged as stated on the menu.

This was our first time at Deli Dojo and it won't be the last. Beautifully located in Idstein's old town and in a half-timbered house, the Deli Dojo has been around since 2020. The waitresses were without exception very friendly and accommodating and we really liked the ambience, very nice decoration! I can only agree with the recommendations for the Tom Kha Gai soup, I really enjoyed it. The different sushi variants were also delicious, beautifully prepared and the price-performance ratio was right. A Deli Dojo lemonade (mint) rounded off the meal 😉 until next time 💯👍🍣🥣🥤

We've been here for lunch for a long time today and we all were very disappointed... The taste was inferior, the other menu was literally swimming in a kind of coconut soup. The cola was stale and the bench was completely worn out, meaning you weren't sitting properly and were sitting far too low at the table... To the left of it is a warehouse with shabby curtains hanging up with a pretty good view that takes away your appetite... This restaurant won't see us anymore. Absolutely not recommended. 👎👎👎👎

Price performance great And very tasty

A very popular sushi restaurant and rightly so. You should always reserve here in good time. The staff are friendly and you can even get gluten-free soy sauce upon request, and more ginger or wasabi paste if necessary. We can highly recommend the Tom Kha Gai Supper, it was also gluten free. If you order sushi together and have problems with gluten: You should either pay attention to whether the others order gluten-containing (breaded) sushi and also point out again that soy sauce containing gluten is not allowed on the plate. Or order your sushi on a separate plate. I am sure the staff understands this and is happy to take this into account. 😀 We would love to come back because everything was fresh and, as usual, delicious. The prices are also very good.

The food is still good. However, it is a shame that payment is only possible in cash.

It's really tasty, big tasty portions, nice presentation❤️ I recommend 💯

Great lunch menu. Friendly service

Very fresh ingredients! Beautifully presented!

Well, in the cold season you should sit inside. It is very romantically decorated there. Come to Deli Dojo and see for yourself! In any case, it was worth the trip from Frankfurt to Idstein. For lunch, I had a duck bathed in coconut sauce on my plate. 😃 In any case, the duck was crispy!!! I hope I don't promise too much.

I've been there twice and both visits were a culinary experience.

Delicious 😋 sushi 🍣 🍣...always a pleasure 😊 But today I had curry, which wasn't so good... sushi again next time 🍣

I highly recommend the lunch menu!! It’s cheap and delicious!

Sushi is extremely fresh and delicious, but unfortunately I didn't like the Tom Kha Gai soup as a starter at all because glutamate was probably used.

Very tasty lunch. Service on point. Price / offer: Very good !

Delicious food at good prices. Lunch menu good.

Always good. Get sushi regularly. 1 star deduction because card payment is not possible.

The quality of the food is mediocre, unfortunately the atmosphere is not particularly inviting. The tables are sticky, the walls look pretty worn out. The toilets stink and are unclean! A renovation would do the restaurant some good. The service (all without exception) is unfriendly. Deli Dojo certainly has its best times behind it. The restaurant's reaction "I should visit our store before leaving a review" shows how we deal with the criticism self-critically. Attached is the receipt! At the end of 2023 there was probably a violation of all hygiene guidelines: Inadequate hygienic conditions were found in all operating rooms. The rooms were so dirty that a thorough cleaning of all equipment and surfaces was absolutely necessary. Cleaning measures for items, fittings and equipment that come into contact with food were inadequate. Due to the serious objections, the treatment, preparation and distribution of food was prohibited until the operating rooms, furnishings and work equipment had been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Delicious food, beautiful space

Delicious food, service 10 pointsmmmmm

Bardzo dobre jedzenie i świetna obsługa ! Dziękuję bardzo !

ngon. phục vụ tốt. sẽ còn quay lại

A great evening as always at Deli Dojo. Delicious food and friendly staff. Thank a lot

Achtung: Hier wird es mit der Hygiene nicht sehr genau genommen. Waren heute wieder im Deli Dojo aufgrund mangelnder hygiene/Sauberkeit der Toiletten sowie verklebter Tische und Stühle kann ich dieses Restaurant nicht mehr empfehlen. Wie es in der Küche aussieht will ich nicht wissen....

Preis Leistung hervorragend, Mitarbeiter sehr nett und höflich

Wir waren mit dem Essen sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder.

My wife and I had lunch here, on a spurt of the moment choice of places to eat. We LOVED it! I had the lunch M3 menu with duck, vegetables and rice in a Teriyaki sauce. My Schatzi had the lunch sushi menu... number 1 we think. We are looking forward to returning...with family, this coming weekend! More duck and sushi please! 😁

Empfehlenswert! Sehr gutes Angebot, qualitativ und schmackhafte Speisen. Sehr gutes Sushi.

Wirklich schön eingerichtetes Lokal mit sehr günstigem Mittagstisch, den es auch sogar samstags gibt. Das vegetarische Sushi Menü kommt mit einer Miso Suppe und reichlich Sushi, davon 3 sogar in Panko frittiert. Die Getränke für 2,5€ sind ebenfalls 0,4l. Die Bedienungen waren ebenfalls sehr nett und das Restaurant liegt sehr schön in der Innenstadt. Würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Geschmackvolles Essen, preiswert, netter Service, freundliches Personal!

Was Sushi angeht eine der Top Adressen in der Region

Mein absolutes Lieblingsjapanisches Restaurant!

War gestern zum ersten Mal hier und sehr begeistert. Habe die Tom Kha Gai Suppe als Vorspeise bestellt und Sushi zum Hauptgang, dazu die selbstgemachte Haus Lemonade. Die Suppe war die beste die ich bislang irgendwo gegessen habe, das Sushi super frisch und lecker und die Limonade auch top und nicht zu süß. Dazu noch ein super gemütliches Ambiente und freundlicher und schneller Service. Ganz klare Empfehlung

Leider ist die Karte etwas unübersichtlich sortiert. Essen sehr gut. Besonders wenn man etwas "mutiger" bestellt und nicht nur gebratene Nudeln wie bei jedem asiatischen Restaurant essen möchte (gibt es sonst aber auch hier)

Bester Japaner hier im Rhein Main Gebiet. Von den Vorspeisen, Suppen, über Gerichte wie gebratener reis/ Nudeln bis hin zu Gerichten wie heißem Sushi schmeckt hier alles sehr lecker. Hier gibt es auch eine größere Auswahl an Selfmade Limos und anderen Getränken. Die Bedienungen sind auch immer sehr nett. Einziger Nachteil ist das es nur Barzahlung und keine Kartenzahlung gibt

Die Miso-Suppe hier ist einfach köstlich. Ein perfekter Start für jedes japanische Mahl.

Oltre ai piatti davvero ottimi e diversi dal classico ristorante giapponese (hanno dal sushi al ramen ma anche le zuppe di udon), l'ambiente è curatissimo e super decorato a tema. Camerieri accoglienti e prezzi davvero onesti. Una bella fermata in pieno centro di Idstein.
