Kampai Sushi bar in Hamburg

So nice to eat there and fair prices!

Super nice people and very good sushi!

amazing food! best sushi i have eaten in a while. need a reservation to seat, make it via their email address

Very cool. Authentic and really friendly.

The owner is super nice, friendly, easygoing and talkative. Sushi is delicious and definitely worth the price. The quality and taste of fish are pretty high. There’re limited space so do remember to make a reservation ahead. Takeaway is only possible after checking with the owner and it might take some time. Will definitely come back again when we visit Hamburg next time.

Super delicious! Authentic atmosphere. You have to make a reservation in advance, and then you have about an hour and a half to eat. But this is typical and completely normal.

The most authentic sushi you can get!

We were here today with our son, it was incredible, never had such friendly service and never had such great sushi before!

I'm absolutely thrilled with Kampai Sushibar, a small, charming sushi bar with just a few seats right at the counter. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and very personal. The sushi is incredibly fresh, perfectly tempered, and beautifully presented. You immediately notice the passion that goes into making it. The nigiri, in particular, was an experience: tender, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. The service is friendly, attentive, and at the same time pleasantly unobtrusive. You feel welcome and in good hands. The proximity to the preparation makes the whole experience a special one. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right; anyone looking for authentic, high-quality sushi will more than find it here. From now on, it's my first choice in Hamburg.

It doesn't get more authentic than this! Such a friendly sushi master and waitress. Very small but perfectly formed! Not only extremely delicious and authentic, but also a great atmosphere with the perfect music that creates the perfect mood. The price is also top-notch for the quality of the fish.

Wow wow… No joke! I know and love sushi! Experienced between Tokyo, Singapore, and LA. In short, this is a great place!

Honestly: The best sushi we've ever eaten outside of Japan! Everything was super fresh, artfully presented, and the taste was simply amazing. The staff was very friendly, and the sushi chef even came by personally. Truly respectful and warm. You can feel the passion and precision in every detail. We'll definitely be back! 🍣🇯🇵✨

Very friendly owner and delicious sushi. We tried the Kamps special menu and the spicy tuna. They were all delicious. At the end, you even get two flamed salmon nigiri. We highly recommend it. A great start to our first day in Hamburg. And thank you for the wonderful experience.

The best sushi place in Hamburg! Make sure you email and book ahead!

Hiro is the sushi master Hamburg can't live without! It was super delicious and the service was excellent!

Absolutely the best sushi i’d ever ate. Basic with no need of weird ingredient combinations, there’s no need, product itself was simply amazing Attention by the staff was immaculate.

So delicious. Best sushi in Hamburg.

Best sushi I have had. Never been feeling this confident a out trying new things I was previously scared to try. Turns out I like a lot more than I knew. Great owner, very nice guy, had good conversation. Small place that definitely qualify as a hidden gem

We’ve been searching for 3 years for a great sushi spot in HH and am so glad I finally found Kampai. The sushi is simple, but high quality and authentic and the chef is a delight. It’s tiny and really feels like a neighborhood sushi spot in Tokyo. Highly recommend!

Best sushi in Hamburg….insider tip

One of the most authentic sushi I have tried. After this no other sushi in Hamburg tastes the same anymore. It was ridiculously delicious and the hosts super friendly. We even got a couple of treats for free. Will definitely come back.

A hidden gem in Hamburg! Amazing authentic experience. The owner is really welcoming and the food is amazing. The location is really intimate: "Very small, very Tokyo". See you soon! Alessandro & Lynn

Authentic Japanese food, top quality freshly prepared. A mini shop. “The smallest Japanese restaurant in Germany,” as the owner announces with a laugh. And all of this on the Reeperbahn.

Phenomenal food, authentic flair and heartwarmingly friendly staff.

I went to the concert in the neighborhood. Very nice, lovingly furnished little shop. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and the food is a must try. This is exactly what I was looking for as a sushi lover. Next time I visit Hamburg I will definitely have more time. ☺️

I've visited this restaurant several times. Kampai has always satisfied me – the food is delicious and outstanding! Arigato gosaimatsu!!

We had a wonderful evening here! The chef and the people inside are very friendly and welcoming. The food is just amazing and delicious. The best tuna I ate in Hamburg :) Thank you so much!

Kampai is the place if you want authentic and good sushi. The shop is super small, but the atmosphere is great. You will be asked about your preferences at the beginning when you order the sushi box and then you will essentially receive an individual offer. The fish is fresh and the owners and employees are so warm and friendly that I chatted with them several times. I will definitely come by more often. いつもありがとうございます！ほんまに美味しいお寿司でした！ Important: Only with prior reservation.

I very rarely write reviews. But the little shop on the Reeperbahn managed to show me a new world of sushi. With his Tokyo style, the sushi master gets everything the palate desires from the fish. We had a wonderful, delicious evening with nice touches! Reservations are only possible on site or via email address and are highly recommended. The two of us were there on the spot and had to wait another hour. But the wait was more than worth it. My favorite was the yellowtail nigiri. A tip: Find out about the labels of sushi food beforehand! This visit is worth it!

Very good nigiri from friendly sushi masters.

This is by far the best sushi I have eaten so far. Your special and personal sushi were the highlight (taste explosion). Many thanks to the host. Keep it up, we'll definitely be back.

(Very) little Tokyo on the Reeperbahn! The best sushi I've ever had in Germany, if you miss the Japanese style in Germany, go to Kampai in Hamburg!

Incredible, I recommend this friendly and warm restaurant!

Absolute recommendation for anyone who likes authentic Tokyo sushi. The service is super friendly and after a few questions about preferences they also create a menu. I particularly recommend the flambéed salmon nigiri and the eel nigiri.

I have never eaten such good sushi. Top quality and great prices for this outstanding quality. The shop owner is extremely friendly and works very quickly, you don't have to wait long. I can only recommend this restaurant, I will definitely go there more often. The sushi rice in particular was more than just perfect in terms of taste and consistency. The sushi wasn't too big and fit perfectly in your mouth. It has definitely become my new favorite restaurant. The restaurant has a quiet atmosphere, I really like that it is small, I personally think there is something special about it.

Very nice atmosphere and great location. I have to admit I was a bit irritated by the menu, but just because I know it differently doesn't mean it's bad. The quality of the sushi was really top notch (even if there was something there that I didn't know and it wasn't for me), the price was also justified and the service was definitely top notch

Very special, authentic Japanese food. Friendly, professional service and great vibe! Can't wait to go back

Super authentic sushi bar with an incredibly friendly owner and incredibly delicious food! Everything is just right here, every sushi lover should come here!

The best sushi in Hamburg! Fresh, tasty, same quality as in Japan!

Super delicious sushi lovingly prepared. Feels like you're being entertained in someone's private kitchen.

A great experience, authentic sushi and really tasty. The service was friendly and very attentive. Pleasant small talk with the operators rounds the whole thing off.

Very tasty sushi and very nice staff

had a wonderful time at this little cozy japanese restaurant serving freshly made sushi that was authentic and insanely delicious! the chef and the server were both extremely welcoming and friendly, we were even treated to a complimentary torched salmon nigiri! we enjoyed the sushi box special and the salmon maki. make sure to book in advance as there is a limited number of seats!

The food was great and both the chef and the service were super friendly. You can spend a really great evening here. We enjoyed it, had a lot of fun and will definitely come back. Thanks!

We had an exquisite sushi evening at Kampai today 🩷 Everything was incredibly tasty and fresh! I could have eaten everything again straight away. The two hosts are very kind. We'll be back soon!!! Our recommendation: definitely make a reservation!

Best sushi in Hamburg. small place need to book in advance.

I have rarely eaten such authentic and delicious sushi! The prices are more than reasonable considering the excellent quality. The owner, the service and the inviting ambience create a special atmosphere that makes dining a real experience.

The best Sushi Restaurant in Germany. The owners are incredibly friendly, the food is simply amazing and the place is super cozy. A really authentic experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a good time and a perfectly reasonable price.

Such a great sushi shop. Definitely the most authentic sushi you can get in Hamburg. Delicious from start to finish. But the best thing about the store: the employees. The boss and his colleague are friendly, funny and extremely accommodating.

I saw this place on Instagram and really wanted to go. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant is very small and decorated in Japanese style. The menu is simple with nigiri and makis. There are some combination menus. We opted for a sample set and a maki roll with salmon. The owner asked for our favorite fish and then prepared the sushi. We also tried warm sake. The rice is well cooked, the fish/seafood tasted fresh. Japanese music was playing in the background. At the end there were two flambéed salmon nigiri with a special sauce (as a little gift from the sushi chef). We were absolutely thrilled with this taste experience. I can only recommend it to every sushi fan. Good sushi without a lot of frills. It was like a little trip to Japan without flying to Japan.

So wow. Where should I even start? This was one of, if not the, nicest restaurant visit I have ever had. (If you can even call it a restaurant) The place is really small with 8 seats, so reservations are required, but I put this experience above any fine dining restaurant I've ever been to. You come into the restaurant from the Reeperbahn and you immediately find yourself in a different world. The sushi chef and the service are incredibly warm. The boss comes to you, asks about your preferences, tells you about his work and you notice that this shop radiates authenticity and true craftsmanship. I've never eaten sushi like this before. It is simple, authentic Japanese sushi because the sushi chef completed 10 years of training in Tokyo and you can tell with every bite how incredible effort was put into this food. From fish to rice. Everything was magnificent. This is not your typical restaurant visit. This is a pleasure. What made this experience truly unique was the way the waitress treated the guests as described above. I've simply never been able to experience something like that in Germany. It was perfect, every expectation was exceeded, I wish the team all the best and I'll be back. Best regards

A really cute small sushi bar. The worker and chef were super kind. Food was also authentic and delicious. Would recommend reserving a table if you want to dine in. Probably best sushi in Hamburg.

Really recommended! Super authentic, fresh and delicious! We missed sashimi. I'll ask next time.

It was simply fantastic! Never had such good sushi before, super tasty. It's small and cozy there, so be sure to reserve in advance. Would give 10 stars 😍

Absolutely top!!! Here you get the best honest sushi of excellent quality. Really a great shop with very friendly owners. The fish is fresh and we would have loved to try everything. We arrived spontaneously at 6 p.m. and were very lucky to get one last free spot. The shop is small and very busy, so reservations are definitely recommended!

Best sushi I've had outside of Japan. Not only is the food great, the couple always takes the time to interact with the guests and see if they are doing well. Very warm atmosphere!

Absolutely stunning sushi, best I ever had. Love the owner, even matched the fish for the nigiri & maki to our personal likings. Definitely need to make a reservation here a couple of weeks ago.

Simply the best Sushi in Hamburg

The best sushi in Hamburg, I would say. And the most special sushi shop in Germany that I know. Location, ambience and hosts are simply unbeatable...

Simply good! Mega authentic and so delicious! 10/10

Came by spontaneously and was actually able to get a spot. Sushi is the best we have ever eaten and the atmosphere is super pleasant, authentic and relaxed.

Klein, kleiner am kleinsten - meega familiär!! Ein MUST für mich wenn ich in Hamburg bin! - das Essen ist einfach unglaublich!!

Small smaller smallest…. It's so family-like - nothing more is possible! The food 101 points!! A MUST for me when I'm in Hamburg!!

Little Tokyo / Japan feeling. The owner and staff are very welcoming , the quality of sushi is great. Very cute , cozy and alive sushi place. Highly recommend

Very authentic atmosphere, friendly and polite service, and super tasty, fresh sushi! Absolutely recommended :)

Definitely the best sushi in Hamburg! Don't let the location confuse you. You definitely have to reserve in advance but it is a totally authentic sushi restaurant, the owners are incredibly friendly and the food is top quality, it couldn't be better!!! The prices here are also more than fair for what you get. I can really recommend everyone to eat here once :)

My friend and I have been to Kampai twice so far and have always loved it! No matter whether it's quality, taste, ambience or service - we'll be happy to come back at any time.

The restaurant had been on my list for a long time and we finally got a place - it was worth the wait! The sushi rice was super juicy and loosely rolled, the fish was super fresh and incredibly tender. And the service was also super friendly. I haven't experienced such great service in a long time. We'll be back!

Very small and cute sushi bar, great service, 100m away from the Reeperbahn you feel like you're in another world!

We were here today for the first but certainly not the last time. Great quality, warm and reserved service, I immediately felt like I was back in Japan. ありがとう。

The best sushi I've ever had. Very fresh, authentic and tasty. The shop is in the middle of Hamburger Berg and easy to reach. I recommend making a reservation as the shop is very small and always busy. The owner is super friendly and there was even a small bonus on the house. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

It was incredibly delicious. I have never eaten such fresh sushi before. The staff was very friendly and you felt very comfortable despite the small location

You have to try the yellowtail!

I wouldn't have expected that you could get such good sushi in the middle of the mountain - an absolute insider tip that will catapult you straight to Japan for the duration of your visit. Kampai offers a mini, small restaurant (space for a total of around 8 guests), friendly owners and high-quality sushi. The fish really melts in your mouth. The menu is manageable, but it's really quick, as a surprise there was a nigiri on the house. Really great all around👌🏼 thank you, we'll be back! Be sure to reserve in advance!

The Kampai is special: - the sushi was particularly delicious - the owners were particularly nice - the shop is particularly small and authentic Thank you for the great experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife discovered the Kampai Sushi Restaurant during our trip to Hamburg and made a reservation there. It was her first time having sushi in her life and we absolutely loved it! The shop is absolutely authentic, the owner and chef comes from Tokyo and learned there and you are supported. An absolute pearl, I have never had sushi so good, I can only recommend it!

I had no idea that such a relaxing place existed, so I was surprised and impressed! I would like to have a chance to stop by again someday!

WOW! Never had such good sushi in Germany. Fresh, delicious, rice perfect and fish like butter. It was terrific. I was there for the first but not last time. Service was super nice and so was the owner. Very warm, you feel very welcome! I can only recommend it, as well as the reservation, as it is really a very small shop. Small here really means small but all the more charming and beautiful! Keep it up! 👏🏻

Authentic sushi restaurant. The sushi is the best I've eaten in Germany so far! Being here takes me back to Japan for a moment! Both the service staff and Hiro speak Japanese and German and are super nice! I can only recommend!

Very very tasty sushi, nice people and nice atmosphere! The best place for sushi in Hamburg!

Great sushi, great food, 6 places, cool, nice people, highly recommended, a real experience

My go-to restaurant in Hamburg when I am craving maki and sushi. The food is fantastic, the owners are really friendly, and the vibe is authentic.

Absolutely fantastic sushi and really friendly people. The small restaurant was full as I'd expected it would be but I was able to order a take-away and enjoy it on the terrace of my nearby hotel. The sushi and side dishes were probably the tastiest, freshest and most perfectly prepared I've ever had - and I've had a lot of sushi in many different countries and cities over the years! The very friendly chef gave me some free side dishes too. What more can you ask? Highly recommended!!!

Authentic sushi experience. Very friendly owner who takes time for a chat. Definitely get the flamed salmon nigri.

Authentic, high-quality ingredients and super friendly people. Everything perfect!

Really great shop, the best nigiri sushi I've ever had in Germany, if not in Japan. 100/5 points. The sushi master comes from Japan and the fish is excellent. 1 point deduction for cleanliness, unfortunately when we were there the table wasn't wiped beforehand and everything was stuck. Otherwise absolutely great.

WE WILL BE BACK, IT WAS VERY TASTY 😋 We would love to come back, it was very tasty. The owner/sushi master was very attentive and his partner was also very nice, it was very warm. Very small shop, but it was perfectly fine. Reservation would be useful...

The restaurant is small (only 6 seats), so it's worth making a reservation. The boss chats with the guests and brings a free seaweed salad and nigiri to try. The sushi is tasty but not exceptional but rather typical. So you shouldn't expect fancy fruit sauces or anything similar, but rather classic, high-quality sushi.

Great, 10 out of 10 is not enough. The sushi here is really tasty and the service is excellent. We are thrilled and will definitely come back!

Simply super delicious, fresh and authentic sushi. All of this at fair prices and with very nice service, what more could you want… 100% recommended! Since there are very few seats available, it is best to reserve them in advance.

Superfeines Sushi, tolle Qualität der Zutaten und wir fühlten uns auch des Chefs und der Bedienung sehr willkommen. Kleines, aber heimeliges Lokal. Hier werden wir immer mindestens einmal essen, wenn wir in Hamburg sind.

By far the best sushi in HH! Just perfect

Authentic sushi is served in a cozy atmosphere. Smallest & best sushi shop in Hamburg! :)

High quality and great service ! Awesome people 👏 thank you so much

Absolutely amazing sushi!!! The best I have had outside Japan ❤️

Went last evening, great experience, the food is great, tasty, well presented. The owner is very friendly and amazing while preparing sushis/makis, he is like an artist creating our food. I definitely recommend it and nicely served too by his smiling waitress.

Incredible place. Owners are incredibly nice, the food is incredible. I can never eat any other sushi again. Truly one of the most beautiful and delicious evenings of my life. Arigato Gozaimasu!

The sushi-man was super friendly and the food tasted authentic Japanese. I will definitely come back!

Very cute little shop that you should definitely visit. The couple who run the shop are sugar through and through. You feel totally comfortable and the food is abnormally good. I've never eaten such good sushi in my life and I've tried a lot of things 😅 we'll definitely be back. So delicious and so hospitable. Really great👌🙏

My place of healing, relaxation, and new encounters! I came to Germany and made many friends here. I go here often 😊👍The owner is very personable, the atmosphere of the shop is great, everyone gets along well regardless of nationality, and everyone naturally gathers together ♡
