Kan'Koa in Berlin

Okay dinner on a Friday night, but probably not somewhere we would return. The ambience of the restaurant was somewhat ruined by the staff who were chattering amongst themselves and laughing loudly non-stop, overpowering the lovely traditional background music and making it hard for customers to hear each other. As for the food, it was hit and miss. Small plates better than main dishes. We really enjoyed the salmon tataki, the hotate scallops and the sake sashimi. These little seafood plates were full of flavour and made of fresh ingredients. Of the mains, the spicy coconut chicken was decent whilst the barbecue beef dish somewhat disappointed. Dry chewy beef and flat tasting sauce.

My girlfriend and I are tourists in Berlin and were craving some delicious udon. We found what we were looking for here at Kan'Koa. Our first impressions: The ambiance is very nice, the staff very friendly and attentive. The food: Since we were traveling for a long time and had skipped lunch and breakfast, we made a larger order with various appetizers and, of course, the udon. The portions are generous, and everything was really delicious, from the yakitori to the udon. If we're back in Berlin, we'd come back.

Nice place and wonderful food at a reasonable price! They excelled even though we ordered food from different countries' cuisines.

Good business lunch menu. Helpful staff.

Japanese restaurant, good food. Prices are normal

Excellent sushi at good prices. Really enjoyed ourselves. Great service. Highly recommend!

Very tasty sushi and udon. The service is pleasant and the atmosphere in the restaurant too. Our order was brought within 10-15 minutes, which is very pleasing:))

Salmon, fantastically delicious, highly recommended! Plenty of food! Attentive young, happy, friendly, fast service!🙏👍😃

Nice vibe, adequate but not memorable dishes. Did not like being rushed to leave before closing.

The taste isn't bad, but unfortunately the portions of the main course—rice with fish—are very small for the price of €12. The sushi rolls are a normal size and taste good.

We saw this very nice place by chance while walking in the Jewish quarter. Super place for value for money, environment and service. We tried Sushi and sushimi of various types. Lastly we tasted Ramen (Japanese spaghetti) immersed in a soup full of tasty vegetables. On the side they served us crispy duck that you could also dip (alternatively you can choose pork or chicken). I would definitely go back there very willingly

Great food, good and friendly service, and a good price for the food. The atmosphere is also very nice. It's perfect for dates, birthdays, or just a quick meal with the family.

Very nice place with delicious food!

Very tasty sushi at fair prices.

Really good and delicious ramen.

Amazing ramen, great & fast service

Super delicious! And the prices are great

Delicious. And the service is fast.

Delicious food, good value for money, nice service - very friendly. Had the udon bowl with chicken, I can highly recommend it.

Nice place, good food prettily plated, good service. Nothing extraordinary, though.

The food was fresh and flavorful and it was part of the lunch menu for just €9.50

The staff is super nice and the food. I ate sushi...very, very tasty.🫶

Cute place in the centre. Very good food, fantastic miso soup, amazing Ramen! Highly recommend. Average prices. I'll be back

The best sushi I've ever had. Brutal. Furthermore we repeat. Price about €40-45 for two people. Friendly workers

For me, one of the best sushi I have tried in my life so far. Incredible.

We took the sushi platter for 4 people for almost €100. Considering it was so expensive, there was very little sushi on the plate. You definitely didn't get full and for the price I would definitely have expected that. It was beautifully presented, but we will definitely not be coming back!!!

The food was very tasty, the sushi is highly recommended and the service was very nice and attentive. The waiting times were short and yet the food was fresh. Here we come again 😊

Food was not too good, meat tasted old and gamey and the Ramen broth was a little off and just over spiced. Service was pretty weak and very inefficient. Will not be back.

Everything very good, especially the sushi.

You are walking through the center of Berlin and leave Alexanderplatz behind you. You see some lanterns to your right and you wonder if this place is worth visiting. What a good decision we made in choosing to try this place. The restaurant offers different Asian cuisines, from Thai and Japanese to Vietnamese. The truth is that the dishes are very delicious. The sushi is great and they have a good variety of beers, both German and Asian. The curry is especially delicious, highly recommended. In addition, it should be taken into account that they offer daily dishes at a somewhat lower price, with very interesting menu combinations.

When you place your order you will be asked whether you want to pay in cash or by card. A fool who thinks evil...

Well, delicious rolls of sushi and sashimi 😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 I tasted each piece extremely gently and it was big enough

Good and plentiful food, service a little slow. The place is quite dark

good food! everything was fine except for the fact that our table lamp kept shutting off ((

Very nice atmosphere, the sushi was fresh and tasty and the waiters were really helpful when we had questions!

Great asian food and drinks. We had great ramen and super fresh bowl. Also Sake was awesome, had it for the first time, I definitely recommend it. Prices are very good for the quality they offer. Visited this place as tourist

I have tried more types of food in this restaurant. Sushi did not charm me much but I really loved the ramen here. I am going to come back for sure!

We ate well but the portions are really very small, much smaller than in the photos we saw... so (small) disappointment! 😑

Their chashu ramen broth is incredible, definitely visit it once every time I'm in Berlin.

We were served quickly and it was nicely decorated inside for a good ambience, not to mention delicious food!

We wanted to spontaneously eat sushi after a tiring day on a school trip. Found directly, perfect service and very tasty sushi and miso soup:)

Great place with great food and awesome service

We came here three quarters of an hour before closing time and were still greeted and served in a very friendly manner. The food came very quickly and was extremely tasty. We'll definitely be back

Great sushi in the Jewish quarter of Berlin!! We went on a Saturday night for dinner, without a reservation and quite late, and they took us right away. The service was super fast and they were very friendly. We weren't very hungry, there were two of us and we ordered the KanKoa Set and some gyozas. Everything delicious. We liked it a lot. I would repeat without a doubt.

The ambience is great. The staff is super friendly. If you ask, you can also charge your smartphone. The drinks and food were good.

First, they placed us into a tiny space, and when we asked for another table, they said it was booked. But of course, 21:45 and it was still empty. The waitress wasn’t friendly at all. The chicken starter? Tasted like frozen store-bought stuff. But the real disaster? The mango sticky rice. Four tiny squares of rice, a bit of mango, and some weird sauce underneath. No flavor, no portion, no satisfaction, just pure disappointment. Definitely not coming back.

The food was not so good...specially the ramen + really long waiting to receive the food in the table. Ah, asking for the tip is never nice because you make feel the customers obliged to give it. Don't do it guys, specially when you realise that the customer didn't finished the food and the service was "MEH".

Great good and really good prices especially lunch menu ☺️

Very tasty and friendly service. Was recommended by The Fork - we would love to come back!

Delicious food, would love to come back...

It was okay. But I wouldn't necessarily eat there again. The food was tasty and attractively served. Unfortunately very small portions at quite steep prices. 3 points are deducted for the lack of equipment and cleanliness of the sanitary facilities.

Oh the food is so good here!!! The staff are very nice, the atmosphere is very aesthetic and their food is something you cannot get enough of! Only problem is card payment… I want to pay with card but their minimum total for card payment is very high.

Super nice place and delicious food. Would definitely visit again.

waiters were a bit rude, the food wasn’t so good and the vibe wasn’t vibing. We wanted tap water and they didn’t even give us that! Not going back again sorry.

Kan’Koa is where tropical vibes meet bold, fresh flavors. From vibrant dishes to refreshing drinks, everything feels like a mini-vacation. The laid-back atmosphere and attention to detail make it the perfect spot to unwind and indulge in something unique.

Was there for lunch. Miso soup was too salty for my taste. The sauce for the gyozas wasn't what I expected and was way too sweet. The fried crispy sushis were covered with too much mayonnaise sauce. I don't understand why wasabi & soy sauce was served with it. All in all, OK for the low price, but I also paid €5 more for cleaner products. But maybe others like it that way. Service was super friendly!

We had dinner there as a party of 5. Better to make a reservation beforehand as it tends to get crowded. Great sushi, the staff vas very nice. Prices are lower than other Asian/sushi restaurants in Berlin.

Gooooood and sooooo delicious!! Highly recommended

La oferta del almuerzo fue realmente impresionante – los platos eran sabrosos, bellamente presentados, y ofrecía una gran relación calidad-precio.

Muy delicioso y bueno. Servicio rápido y amable. Cenamos y fue agradable. Menú también lo suficientemente grande para hacer una elección para cualquier gusto.

The restaurant is run by a Chinese team, with a chic atmosphere but impersonal service. It was difficult to communicate and get information. My ramen with minced meat was too spicy. My friend had rice with coconut curry sauce and chicken—the vegetables weren’t really fresh (frozen), but overall she liked the dish. We also had sushi as a starter, which was good. Be aware that they don’t accept card payments for purchases under €20. As always, it’s important for everyone to make their own experience!

Excellent place, very tasty food, very good service, 100% recommended

We took away the food that's why the table is white, because it is our home. In regards this restaurant, another Asian with the same flavours as others. Nothing special. It is affordable thou and quality is just okay for the price you get. Staff is okay as the atmosphere.

Food was delicious! Really highly recommended! The restaurant itself is cozy, but the toilets can certainly be improved. Various menu, with all Japanese delicacies for a good price.

VERY delicious food. The sushi was excellent, the curries were very tasty. Everything is nice and fresh, crunchy and tasty. The restaurant is chic and attractively decorated. A typical modern Asian restaurant. Unfortunately the service wasn't particularly good. Even though there wasn't that much going on, the waitresses seemed completely overwhelmed. We had to wait 20 minutes before we could even order. Then people “bitched” because I wanted a Spezi instead of a Coke. I can understand that if only bottles are served, but that wasn't the case here. During the meal they didn't check whether we wanted to order any more drinks, and desserts weren't offered either - bad luck, considering the business 🤷‍♂️ The restaurant is located directly on Monbijouplatz in Berlin, very centrally and easily accessible. Feel free to go and enjoy the delicious food, but be patient.

The food was great! Very very tasty. Unfortunately we had to wait a moment before we were served but the food came very quickly. Everyone was friendly until we didn't give a tip... we didn't say goodbye or anything... and the toilets were a disaster... I think it's bad for such a great restaurant.

At first it might feel like this is a fast-food concept but that's because the staff works incredibly hard to get the food to the tables, clean and get all the guests to an empty table. They were with only three people on the floor while all tables were full. (Looks a bit understaffed to me). Food came in quite quickly. Ordering food or get someone to the table was harder because of what I wrote above. We could definitely recommend the Spicy Salmon Rice Chips (not that spicy!) and the Tuna Tataki. Sushi is very tasty and in good portions.

Very fresh and well-seasoned tuna tataki, perfect as a starter. The crispy salmon chips were also impressive, and the appetizer was just as good as the main meal. Every single ingredient is fresh and the serving speed is fast. Whether the restaurant is crowded or not, you can enjoy your food in a cozy atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. The location is very good, so it's a good place to eat out often. They also stock gluten-free soy sauce and have many gluten-free options, which is convenient.

Very tasty sushi in a cozy atmosphere.

The most delicious cuisine, really, the best ramen I've ever eaten, and I eat them everywhere :) 10 out of 10👍 Beste Ramen in ganzen Deutschland😍 10 auf 10👍

Very clean and great food. Strongly recommend the spicy tuna and the ebi nigiri.

Delicious food, excellent service

I recommend this place to everyone, clean and tasty

Very tasty food! But already 3 times in a row they tried to deceive us on the check, they included in the check something that we didn’t order! Basically it’s water for 6 euros! When you order more than 4-5 items from the menu, check the receipt! Unfortunately, the staff are trying to deceive you (( and this really spoils the aftertaste after this restaurant (

Very tasty sushi and coconut curry. Having lived in Japan, I would go back here for another meal in a heartbeat. Food was fresh and quite flavorful.

The quality of the dishes is very good, for a fair price

The food is very good, but the service is terrible... some extras are missing, strange attempts and translations, with various amounts being added to the bill. I won't go back there again...

Friendly staff, great and tasty food 🍜 ramen 🙌

Excelente ramen y platos de fideos fritos - se podía probar lo frescos que eran los ingredientes. El sushi y el sashimi también se veían muy bien. La decoración y el ambiente eran muy agradables y el servicio era atento. Tuvimos dos comidas aquí y disfrutamos mucho de ambas visitas. Valor excepcional y no puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

An unexpected surprise in Berlin. A very extensive menu with very interesting options in the center of Berlin.

Very nice atmosphere, good service and good food. Top

Rude service staff! The vices even before your eyes. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ and ignoring you at the beginning

It was a perfect dinner. Going downstairs to the restaurant, having a great atmosphere and perfect tasting food… in my case also good service as I asked to leave away one ingredient which often brings trouble. Not here, which made me happy.

😡😡😡 I used to love this place but they got a new waiter who was either deaf or stupid. When I tried to place an order he just ignored me, interrupted me and started taking orders from my friends who weren't ready yet. We were shocked by this rudeness, and he is clearly not polite, he didn't even ask if we liked everything or not, and when I asked for the bill he asked if I wanted a tip for the kitchen or the Waiter wanted to leave I replied that I didn't want to because there wasn't very dry meat (well, the service isn't very good either) He just silently accepted the tip and added it to my bill as much as he saw fit . And he didn't give my friends the change either. I think it's just not nice to be so brazen about begging for a tip, you have to earn it!!!!!! And I have to cross this place out of my favorites too...

Delicious sushi at fair prices!

sono un amante del sushi, per cui non ho potuto resistere alla tentazione di provarlo anche mentre ero a Berlino. devo dire che è stato davvero wow i gyoza spettacolare, i roll buonissimi e con pesce di ottima qualità. inoltre anche i loro drink veramente eccellenti prezzi assolutamente onesti e direi quasi meno della media berlinese

The price is reasonable, but not a big portion. Unagi Don and ramen were not super bad.

Excellent ramen. One of the best i have had in Berlin..

Good food, I love the crunchy sushi, and to my surprise they even serve mango sticky rice. Although it’s a bit awkward in the end when the waiter asked for tips openly. Also it’s chilly inside because the main door was open the whole time

It's worth coming here to try. The iced milk coffee and sushi are very delicious. The space is extremely cozy, the staff are friendly and enthusiastic.

Always delicious and the service is professionally good!

Very tasty sushi and great service in an appealing atmosphere... That's how it should be... Thank you Berlin

I ordered some food to be delivered to my house, and the delivery was really fast. We decided to try the S.86 Kan’Koa special, which was a wide variety of sushi. Overall, the fish was fresh, but the Kan’koa Crunchy was absolutely amazing. It was like a one-bite paradise. I really loved it.

A very nice restaurant and the food was great!

Nette Atmosphäre, der Service war gut und das Essen auch Nice atmosphere. Both service and food good.

I ate ramen there for the first time. The food was not only delicious, but also beautifully prepared. This also applies to the other dishes. My only criticism is the volume. Personally, I found it very loud inside.

A very nice and cozy restaurant. We actually found it by accident. We received a very friendly welcome. We had nothing to complain about in terms of service. We thought the drinks and food were fantastic! 👌

Just a great experience every time. The food is really amazing no matter what you try and the staff is very welcoming. I highly recommend the place. I went several times (and will go back gladly) with my family, with friends, with co-workers (and even alone for business lunch).

One of the best Asian restaurants I've ever been to. Highly recommended.

Top! Great ambience, authentic service, fantastic dishes. 100% recommendation
