KUCHI Kant in Berlin

The Pho was ok, but expensive compared to other restaurants.

We were there many years ago and it was excellent. Well: Sushi is average at best, soup worse than anywhere else, noodles tasteless, but too expensive. Service urges you to eat quickly. We were only in the restaurant for 38 minutes (starter and main course, bill 100 euros), starter and main course came almost at the same time. So I ate the main course (warm) before the starter. During the meal we were asked three times whether the uneaten plate could be taken away. After our meal we were asked 4 times every 2 minutes if we wanted to order anything else, so we ended up downing our drinks and ordering the bill.

Food is good, service is nice, shop is newly renovated...Unfortunately very crowded, loud and the wine was warm...But overall great...

Very friendly ambiance! The kitchen and service teams did their best, leaving me with a great impression. The food is a solid choice for a weekday treat.

I've been coming to Kuchi since 2004 and it's just an incredibly good shop. The service and food are incredibly good, and I think the place just gets better over the years. There is something like that in Kuchi. I highly recommend everyone to visit Kuchi instead of being disappointed elsewhere. A big thank you to the team! Kuchi Rocks!

I went to Kuchi Kant for the second time today and went home very happy for the second time. The restaurant is modern, despite there being a lot of guests, it is not loud due to the great acoustic design. You can have a relaxed conversation. The service is super nice and courteous, but not too intrusive. But now to the really important things… Drinks & Food: Yuzu Collins - the perfect drink for all citrus lovers. I personally love yuzu and the taste is in heaven. The drink is great, refreshing and goes wonderfully with fish Wine Funky Fish Special - velvety soft, a mixture of Riesling and Pinot Blanc. A really great wine with nice aromas, not too sour. Sushi - you should definitely eat the nigiri at Kuchi Kant. I have rarely eaten better. We had the yellowfin mackerel, flambeed salmon and medium fatty tuna belly, as well as the tuna gunkan in the first round. The yellowfin mackerel is absolutely AMAZING! Likewise, the flambéed salmon nigiri was second favorite. We then ordered the yellowfin mackerel twice more, as well as another round of flambéed salmon. We also tried the raw scallop. This was also very delicious. Really soft in consistency and great in taste. In the last round we also received tuna nigiri with the mackerel, what can I say, that was also excellent. The tuna practically fell apart in your mouth. A little dream. Last but not least, we also had the Tokyo Carbonara. I already knew the dish from my previous visit and had to order it again. This taste experience with the ham and all the other components, wow. I have already recommended the restaurant several times to my circle of friends, I will definitely come back and try my way through the nigiri menu.

Friendly and attentive service. Very good offer, pleasant atmosphere. Any time.

Very high quality. less food and more experience. Strong recommendation. The tortilladas were the least spectacular, but relatively the most expensive.

Really nice interior and menu upgrade! Went for the first time after renovations- for my partners birthday. Very high level of service (knowing and congratulating bday offering a sip of bubbly as a toast). Food definitely upgraded - we ate a lot but the best one for us was the grilled mackerel, toro & unagi nigiri. Some improvement points: Spinach salad sauce was missing a bit of density in flavour I know from other restaurants and yakitori were ok but were missing a bit of real charcoal flavour. All in all another hit by Duc having worked in the business ist super hard to achieve the level of professionalism of all the restaurants on that corner and we tried it all - big thumbs up!

Friendly, simple atmosphere with very friendly service. The semi-visible kitchen is trustworthy. The menu offers a panorama of Japanese cuisine. Finely prepared vegetarian makis and very fine ramen were freshly prepared. A simple cozy atmosphere. Absolutely recommended.

Good quality sushi & sashimi, interesting menu, good service, nice vibe restaurant, value for money is right

Once again a top shop from Duc. Sushi is highly recommended, as is the edamame as a starter.

Ordered take away 70 euros worth rice was so over cooked the sushi was splitting. very small portions an absolute disgrace. Been ordering here since years and I will never order here again. Prices very high and not even Japanese . Wasted our evening

Definitely highly recommended, but make sure you reserve in advance! But otherwise really great.

Service as always top! The new concept after the renovation?! Before the renovation I thought it was more original. The map has also been thinned out. My miso duck now comes with less sauce but with rocket. What is the rocket doing on my Japanese duck? Best Friends Roll also only with decorative sauce. Please change again urgently. Thanks!

The staff is super friendly and normally we don’t like Japanese fusion style but here they do a good job to mix the authentic and western style together. Sushi is very good but a bit pricy. Anyway it’s worthy unless u have a chance to go to Japan for that. Steak is my favorite and the dessert is definite a highlight for us especially the tofu yuzi one. Recommended

One of the best sushi ever since wine spirits - especially the BEST FRIENDS ROLL and their ingenious homemade miso sauce

A very great restaurant that has demonstrated good and stable quality for years. You should always make a reservation and be prepared for prices to be slightly higher. It definitely corresponds to the quality.

Still the best sushi in town. After renovation with a fresh look. Big frustration: There is not a single vegetarian dish on the lunch menu. Very outdated. Please change

Just had dinner there. It is so delicious and looks very beautiful from the inside. The Japanese culture was perfectly passed on in this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and it came very quickly

I was traveling alone in Berlin and spontaneously went to Kuchi without making a reservation. Even though the store was completely full, I was warmly welcomed and allowed to sit at the bar. The very friendly bartender was allowed to choose the cocktail for me, and the nice young man from the service put together a menu for me which consisted of an appetizer in the form of delicious crispy shrimp with wasabi mayo and a mixed sushi platter. I wasn't disappointed with either the cocktail or the food. Everything tasted great and everyone in service was friendly. I was regularly asked if everything was okay or if I wanted anything else. For me, despite visiting the restaurant as an individual, it was a totally relaxed evening full of enjoyment, thanks to the entire team!

My favourite sushi place in Berlin 😍

Unfortunately, the menu has been changed and, of all things, all-time classics like Fried Eggplant and Tori Don have been removed from the menu. So whoever comes for that doesn't have to do it anymore.

Incompetent? Forgetful? Uncaring? Worse? Who knows, but what is definite is that when I went the waitress insisted that I wasn't allowed to keep my expensive umbrella with me. She removed the umbrella to somewhere else in the restaurant and didn't offer it back to me when I left. As I was in a hurry and had other things on my mind, I also forgot to ask for it back. When I returned to the restaurant after the Christmas holidays the staff said they knew nothing about it and clearly couldn't care less. Despite leaving my details, I've heard nothing. Hard not to conjecture about what must have happened... If a restaurant insists on separating people from their property and taking care of it for them, then I think the restaurant should continue to take care of the property until the customer is able to reclaim it.

The ‘My Best Friend Roll’ is an absolute hit – unbeatably delicious and a real must-try!

Delicious Japanese cuisine, original and surprising, with excellent basic products. Everything is very fine. We will come back.

The quality of the food is undeniably high. Finely balanced ingredients bring joy. It's a shame that people ask too often whether you would like to order any more drinks. And you also get the feeling that you should pay quickly after eating and make room. I realize that the store thrives on customers. But I also find it too uncomfortable to be hectic when it comes to sales, sales, sales. What a shame!

Ich bin überrascht wie die Qualität sich verschlechtert hat. Früher war es so ein leckeres Lokal und heute nur noch unglaublich teuer und unser Sushi und tempura Pulpo war eine reine Katastrophe, wir haben das Essen abgebrochen und sind gegangen leider

Great sushi! Nice service and great location! You can also order it :)

Very good service and delicious food!!!Everything is always fresh!!!

The food was amazing ✨Service was fast and friendly! We really enjoyed our Visit. I highly recommend the lychee lemonade.

The food was very tasty and the iced tea was extremely refreshing and delicious

We had dinner at Kuchi on the iconic Kantstraße, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. However, the space between the tables was a bit tight, at least where we were seated. The table itself was also quite small, which made managing a larger order a bit challenging—for both the staff and us—when it came to arranging the dishes without knocking anything over. That said, the food was excellent! I particularly enjoyed the comparison between the tuna and the different fat grades—an absolute highlight. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the music added to the overall great vibe of the place. I can definitely recommend Kuchi! The prices are fair for the quality and experience.

My sushi was very tasty and fresh

An absolute highlight among Japanese restaurants! The quality of the food is excellent - everything tastes perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. What is particularly positive is that you can specify the reason for your visit when making your reservation. The stylish, minimalist design of the restaurant creates a great atmosphere, and despite being busy, it remains pleasantly quiet. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive and pleasantly unobtrusive. Overall, a fantastic experience – everything is just right here! I'll definitely come back.

Friendly staff and excellent sushi. The rolls are big, 2 was enough to make us full. Do yourself a favour and order a mix of different nigiris, very tasteful!

Kuchi has been one of the top addresses for sushi and cross-over Asian food in Berlin for years. We have been regular guests for over 17 years, be it on site or in take away. The ambience has become even cooler after the renovation. Reliably high quality food and drinks ensure that the restaurant is always full, without a reservation you have to be lucky to get a table at peak times. We are fans of the miso duck, miso eggplant, seared salmon and kuchi lemonade and the variety of sushi rolls.

Cool spot with best quality sushi. Wide selections of appetizers and sushi, and chimichurri tuna steak was a highlight.

The Kuchi Kantstrasse has renovated and reinvented itself at the same time. It was completely gutted, a new, light, bright interior was installed and a bar was installed at the entrance. A new map shows the alignment. Higher quality, more value and also exclusive offers. Chutoro and Otoro tuna, Uni is also on the menu. My personal highlight from the old menu remains: “Okinawa Seafood Salad”. Lots of seafood, delicious sauce and all on a bed of lettuce. From the new menu, a Sashimi Moriawase was of outstanding quality. We will definitely order the new ribeye with chimichurri again. The dining room is small, often very busy, so it's worth making a reservation. The service is always extremely friendly. The restaurant isn't classic Japanese, but it's much more so than before the renovation. It remains modern, fast and extremely popular and can be reached in just a few minutes' walk from Ku-Damm.

Very good quality food, and service.

Very tasty food, chic and cozy atmosphere. Seats near the door are understandably a bit cold.

Leider im Scnitt ca.30% teurer nach der nötigen Renovierung.Offner Weißwein 0,1 = 7,00 €.Das renovierte Kuchi soll die etwas ältere Mittelschicht ansprechen .Der Altersdurchschnitt war bei unserem Besuch schon höher. Leider war die Ente auch noch sehr fettig.Sonst war die Qualität gut. Wir werden auf jeden Fall, seltener hingehen.

Very cozy atmosphere. The food fantastic. The service was great with a great sense of humor

This was our second time there after the location was renovated. This one was really successful. The Japanese style comes into its own very well. I particularly like the open kitchen area and the fact that you can choose to eat in the restaurant area or directly at the kitchen. It's something like event cooking. The noise-absorbing blankets are very comfortable. Despite the large number of guests, the sound level is reduced, creating a very pleasant atmosphere for the guest. The food stands out very much due to its quality and taste. I won't go into specific dishes here because everything is really very tasty. It's always worth a visit. The prices are high but you are offered very high quality, mega delicious food in a great environment and atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Everything is calm. We really liked that. I would like to give 5 stars plus. Since this isn't possible, I'll at least mention it here :-) All in all, a very great evening with delicious food in a pleasant environment. We would love to come back

One of the best shops when it comes to fish dishes. Everything is perfectly coordinated. The service was very attentive, quick and yet not intrusive. The recommendations from the service were always right. A shop where you could eat every day.

New revamped menu - really nice! I was curious about their lunch special - Tonkatsu with duroc pork - definitely juicy and surely lived up to the hype. However was a bit surprised when the staff informed me that the dish doesn’t come with rice - which is an integral part of the whole eating experience with Tonkatsu set (cabbage saad included). Instead, it costed 4 euros extra to get a bowl of rice. Seriously for close to 30 euros a pop, the rice should be included in my opinion, keeping in mind that this has a size of a main dish - would be acceptable if it’s considered appetizer to serve without.

One of the best shops in Berlin right from the start!!!

5 stars to the entire team and that you always find the opportunity to get a table even if you haven't reserved and ten stars to the two behind the bar at the new counter who prepare the sushi with love and are simply very, very empathetic are... because we always sit in the bar we have more contact with these two... especially an attractive man who usually always has his place on the right in the sushi bar... on the right from wherever ;-) a great team team, my Compliment… excellence dishes and Ambience ❤️❤️❤️

We had a wonderful evening at Kuchis. Been here for the first time since the renovation. A charming *waitress* at our side. For me personally, the portions could be a little larger, but they could be that anywhere now. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it very much and are looking forward to the next time.

No complaints about the food, it’s absolutely delicious. The only downside was that, after an hour and a half, the staff came to us and asked us to settle the bill because the "next reservation is in 10 minutes." That felt a bit rushed and wasn’t very pleasant.

Amazing food, lots of choices. Staff was increadibly nice creating a chill and calm atmosphere. You can really enjoy your meal here, with a top-tier sushi. Superb place!

Nice shop, good atmosphere, food is of top quality and the service is very accommodating

Haven't had service like this outside of Japan. Tomaso is the kind of waiter that can read a vibe, makes you feel like you're honoured guests at his home, and his recommendations (based on what he had noticed we were pointing at (!) in the menu while discussing our choices over a cocktail) were all spot on! It's been while since I've enjoyed myself this much on a night out in a restaurant, and since becoming parents these nights feel so special that it's just such a joy to have someone celebrate the notion of service in such a personally devoted way, and to eat food that is of highest quality. We could sense the Japanese spirit in this place, and we'll definitely be back, no doubt! Thank you, Team Kuchi Kant.

Food OK, but what's a genmaicha without cha for 4 euros?? Tea leaves belong in there!

For fans of Asian cuisine, good price/performance ratio and good service. A bit tight seating but definitely worth a visit.

Super great new interior with a super nice atmosphere. But Essen still has to make a lot of progress to make the shop a top Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, the Kuchi has become a bit too expensive after the relaunch.

Recently renovated, the restaurant has a really modern and warm look. You immediately feel at home and we received excellent service throughout the evening. The service is very attentive, food and drinks are brought quickly and empty dishes are cleared away immediately. Top job 👍🏼 The food tasted really good, no matter what we ordered, it was of particularly good quality and tasted at the highest level. We were particularly impressed by the Tamago Yaki, which was never so good anywhere else. We can also only recommend Take Tempura 👌🏼, Futo Maki Tuna/Toro&shinko and everything was topped off with the desserts. The panna cotta left me speechless and the homemade mochis were also very tasty. Thank you for the wonderful evening in our beloved Kantstrasse 👌🏼

Recently renovated with new cozy interior and new menu. Friendly and smiley staff, excellent service and delicious food! Everything from the udons, meat to the sushi is very tasty. Highly recommended!

Everything perfect. Special thanks to the Italian-speaking waiter who recommended some delicious dishes to say the least.

From the food to the service to the ambience, everything was great. Come again

The last time I didn't like the food that much. Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be

We felt warmly welcome from the first moment. Extremely good hosts (we've experienced a lot of different things in Berlin). You notice the good atmosphere in the team and, above all, the passion and love for good products. Clear recommendation and thank you for the lovely evening!

This literally used to be my favourite spot to eat, specially during lunch time. Since they changed the inside setting and menu I’ve been once and never again. I wish they had kept everything as it was.

Excellent, competent and friendly service, who calmly and charmingly comforted us that our table was not yet free, took care of the flower we had brought for the obstetrician and gave us drinks at the bar. The food was unusual (no sushi for me), high quality and entertaining. Stylish ambience. It was a little too loud for me; for my taste there was no need for music to accompany the babble of voices. But everyone likes it differently. The evening was still a complete success!

Not impressed. Good vibe. Taste ok. Maybe had too high expectations. Not cheap.

Very positively surprised! The new Kuchi Kant is great. Beautiful location, top service and great food. And the espresso martini is also delicious! And absolutely fantastic in terms of price-performance.

Sehr höfliches und entgegenkommendes Personal, hervorragende Brühe mit leckerem Rindlfleisch, Nudeln und einer tollen Soße. Kann ich wärmstens weiterempfehlen und das Gericht (Shabu Shabu Bowl) ist definitiv seine 21€ wert.

Unfortunately, our visit on September 6th, 2024 was not as expected. We got a seat at the bar (lunchtime) even though there were other tables available. Even when we left, these were still free. The three of us spent €64 for 2x sushi and 1x udo with tofu and when we paid (we only tipped €2 as the service wasn't particularly good) the waitress asked us indignantly if something was wrong. Unfortunately in an arrogant, derogatory tone that I was speechless. So far we have enjoyed eating here, but often to go, so we didn't notice the unfriendliness. From now on we will spend our money in other restaurants with friendly service.

Das Kuchi ist seit vielen Jahren unser Stammlokal. Seit Umbau und neuer Karte viel teurer und Gerichte sind neu. Die Sommerrollen sehr klein mit viiiel zu saurer Soße. Der Reis kam ohne Sauce, diese kam nach dreimaligen Nachfragen, der Salat kam ohne Fisch, das Wasser kam nach mehrmaliger Nachfrage nach dem Essen.

After the renovation, we really wanted to try out the new dishes. Tokyo carbonara and chimichurri steak are great! Neo Kuchi and especially the service receive 5 stars from us 🤝

First of all I have to say that I have known the shop since it opened and actually love it. After the renovation it really looks very chic, but I can't stand shops that let customers pay for the conversion or renovation. Either you have the money beforehand (and the Duc will certainly have it!) or you leave it alone. So of course all the food has become more expensive, of course, everything has to be paid for and you have to know for yourself whether it is appropriate. But what bothers me the most: You smell like a restaurant, fried, fried when you leave the shop!! Disgusting. Like at a snack bar. Even the backpack the next day! For me, given the prices, it's a no go, so only 2 stars!

I always really appreciate this polite and friendly service. The menu, recently redesigned, has impressive consistency in terms of quality and offering. A gem on Kantstrasse. And the conversion was really successful. Congratulations and compliments!

We went to the Duc with anticipation. We like to eat sushi and have also had our experience in some restaurants. And to be clear, we weren't quite picked up like that. As an appetizer/starter we had kimchi and stuffed dumplings. Both were good. For the main course we had InsideOut salmon, tuna, crab and tempura shrimp plus maki tuna. In our eyes, and I would like to make it clear that tastes are different, the sushi was simply too similar. Each roll was served the same. A little touch is missing here. Something garnished with a dab of chili mayonnaise, ponzu butter, wasabi cream, corriander oil or mizu would look great on the rolls. There are no limits. The service was good. Of course we also had one Restaurant by Duc high expectations.

- 0 It is not possible to leave a review for Kuchi Kreuzberg so I will leave one here. The sushi was horrible. Warm, salty and it had a strange after taste to it. I gave out over 40 Euros for poor quality, warm and salty sushi. I will never eat here again. BEWARE!!!!

Qualità’ e cortesia. Ci siamo passate per caso perché in zona l’offerta dei locali è tantissima e abbiamo trovato tanta cortesia e attenzione e pietanze di grande qualità. La prossima volta che saremo a Berlino torneremo sicuramente.

After da Sushi was recommended so often, I ordered it for the first time today. The sushi is awesome! It tastes very good and every sushi variant impresses with its incredibly great taste! Can only recommend the store. In addition, it was delivered quickly.

I went there for dinner with my partner and the staff was super friendly. The food also came quickly, so we didn't have to wait long for our food. I loved the dark walls, so the atmosphere is nice. The sushi was delicious 😋 see picture.

I went with my friends and the food was really good, we just didn’t like some of the rolls in the one for 3 people. The atmosphere is really nice and the portions are good.

A great place to relax and enjoy very good food. Definitely recommend.

Food is really good, service incredible, the waiters are super friendly and helpfull

Only recommended. The Pan Fried Pho was excellent Price / offer: Very good We'll definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. A table reservation should always be made as it is always busy.

The sashimi salad was really good.

Very good food overall and great hospitality as well. We realy enjoyed the interior and the vibe over here! Would recommend

Thank you very much, the food was great, came quickly and the service was nice. We find the reservation option inconvenient, but apparently necessary. We'd love to come back.

best sushi resto!!! You should especially try the sushi pizza

Went to Kuchi once years ago. Repeat offenders, so to speak 😉. Sushi and papaya salad was great. Location is small but nice. Kuchi has remained consistent in terms of quality and ambience. We will be back.

Great food at fair prices Good quality always worth a visit.

Das Essen war OK - mehr auch nicht. Kimchi war lecker und scharf, das New Style Sashimi muss ich nicht wieder haben, der Weißfisch war sehnig und die Soße hatte keinen Dampf. Das kriege ich besser hin 😬 Das Sushi war OK, ansonsten ist das Restaurant nichts für einen netten Abend, das Personal ist froh , wenn man geht. Neue Gäste, neues Trinkgeld.

The food was OK - nothing more. Kimchi was tasty and spicy, I don't have to have the New Style Sashimi again, the white fish was stringy and the sauce had no steam. I can manage that better 😬 The sushi was OK, otherwise the restaurant is not for a nice evening, the staff is happy when you leave. New guests, new tips.

One of the best Japanese restaurants for me. Relatively small but super tasty. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The record was super sufficient for us and indescribably good.

Delicious fresh sushi, nice service, nothing to complain about!

Very tasty dishes, accompanied by good quality wines. I advise you to reserve a table in advance. The interior is typical for Berlin restaurants - not pretentious:)

Kuchi Kant — the name, the food, the place. 10/10

Sushi was amazing! And the service even better. 🙂

The ambience is nice in itself, except that at weddings (almost always the case) it seems a bit crowded and you have relatively little space at your own place. Unfortunately, the music was also a bit too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation, but that may have been due to our location. You really can't complain about the food! The meat and fish quality is fabulous. There is no skimping on the fish either.

Very good cuisine and great service.

Mega fresh, delicious food, great location

Restaurant is noisy, expensive. The food nothing special. Overall very disappointing.

I made a reservation at the counter and reserved a spot at the counter here. All in all, everything was great, but this place is a bit narrow, so the ambience is a little deducted, but overall it's still a great 5 star. When I came in I was taken care of immediately, everything went quickly and the waiter and waitress were very nice and accommodating. The food came quickly and was really tasty. I can only recommend the restaurant. I had the lychee chorle as a starter, taco tempura and then the sushi menu premium. Overall, I would have liked to have tried more, but I was so full 😅 Just the thing after a long day at the trade fair! Thank you for this delicious evening

Very good quality of food, service friendly and quick...highly recommended
