KUCHI Kant in Berlin

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Delicious food, the salmon sashemi tastes particularly good.

Nice ambiance and good service but food was unfortunately quite disappointing. Tori karage was overcooked and lacking flavoring, while yakitori were precooked, dry and swimming in sauce. Staff was genuinely interested in hearing feedback and to improve. 👍

There are better sushi shops for the price

Tolles Asia Restaurant von Duc Ngo. Wir waren zum Lunch dort und die Auswahl ist super. Die Gerichte sind geschmacklich auf hohem Niveau und preislich für Berlin nicht teuer. Man muss etwas warten, wenn man keine Reservierung hat, was für uns kein Problem war. Man sitzt an langen Tischen mit anderen Personen zusammen.

Unfortunately there was no room for a gang of four on a Monday evening without pre-ordering... Otherwise excellent food.

Delicious. Very attentive service. sushi top!

Unfortunately not a place to linger, too small, too uncomfortable and that would only be something for a quick snack in between

Service was very nice, but overwhelmed at peak times. Sushi 🍣 is great!

We visited Kuchi Kant on a Saturday evening, having eaten there several times in the past. The service was ok, but seemed a bit disinterested. Sushi was ordered, which unfortunately had not been prepared properly; the consistency of the rice was dry and grainy. After the visit, we agreed that the quality of Kuchi Kant has unfortunately declined significantly in the last year and the prices are no longer appropriate.

Really cool japanese restaurant, nice service, slightly over priced

We couldn’t have our dinner there as we came there with a 5 year old and the couple sharing our table complained about our kid using iPad. So we left.

Modern, cheerful, loud, casual, you sit close to each other, fantastic food and really nice service. The green tea ice cream with peanuts is to die for. Thank you ❤️

Eine Reservierung ist hier obligatorisch. Man bekommt 1,5 Stunden Zeit, die aber bei einem Sushi Restaurant ausreichend sind. Es gibt japanisches Bier, das allerdings in Bayern gebraut wird. Die Sushi Kreationen werden am Tisch erklärt. Meine Empfehlung für Sushi Anfänger sind die vorgefertigten Platten. Junges und engagiertes Service Personal. Ich war es zufrieden.

The food was excellent and the service was super nice!

Staff super attentive and polite. Food as expected very good. Gladly again.

Uncomfortable and expensive, the store is overrated

Super great, nothing to complain about

11 euros for a burger that is small and no salad on it... I don't think I need to say more

My favorite sushi shop, I love the spicy chicken roll and the crunchy salmon roll.

I have yo sau that this Japan or sushi restaurant is brilliant. Service is friendly and super super fast. Food was amazing and really delicious. Will come back!

Everything was really good! Awesome service, delicious food and not that high cost) I suggest to reserve table in advance.

Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut. Service hätte etwas besser sein können, von herzlich war es weit weg, ggf. liegt es ja an Berlin 🫣 Vielleicht hatte ich zu große Erwartungen, auch was die Raumgröße angeht, es ist schon ziemlich eng. Wenn man vorne am Eingang sitzt, kann es durchaus unangenehm sein, zwecks Durchzug. Lecker war es allemal

Wir sind das erste Mal im Kuchi Kant gewesen und haben es nicht bereut. Das Sushi hat einfach super geschmeckt. Die Holzbänke sind für Menschen mit Rückenproblemen nicht die beste Möglichkeit außerdem ist der Lautstärkepegel an der oberen Grenze (Das ist eine subjektive Empfindung andere sehen das sicher anders).Die Bedienung ist freundlich , schnell und sehr ehrlich. Habe beim bezahlen versehentlich einen Schein zu viel gegeben der sofort wieder zurück gegeben wurde. Danke

Leckeres Sushi und sehr freundlicher Service 👍

Eine große Auswahl an Speisen ist m hervorragender Qualität und toller Zubereitung. Das Essen kommt sehr schnell und ist frisch zubereitet. Leider kam bei uns erst der Hauptgang und dann die Starters. Wenn die Starter als solche in der Karte beschrieben sind, habe ich die Erwartung, dass sie auch vorab kommen. So war es es leider etwas viel auf einmal. Der Service war trotz voller Auslastung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Etwas irritierend ist die Begrüßung mit dem Zeitfenster, bis wann man den reservierten Tisch nutzen darf. Das kann man eventuell charmanter am Tisch lösen. Das Restaurant erscheint sehr modern mit einer Bar-Atmosphäre. Das ist spannend und insgesamt eine schöne Erfahrung. Es hat uns auf jeden Fall gefallen. Wir empfehlen das Restaurant schon unbedingt auf Grund des tollen Essens zu bezahlbaren Preisen.

Die 3⭐️ für das Ambiente sind MEINE Einschätzung von Raumgefühl und Gemütlichkeit und Bequemlichkeit. Ich weiß, dass es das typische Flair einer asiatischen Garküche hat. Viel wichtiger sind aber das Essen und der Service… und die waren hervorragend! Ein echter „ChiKeng“ Rivale auf Augenhöhe! 👍🏻

So gutes Sushi. Der Kimchi Salad ist auch sehr gut. War alles wirklich Mega lecker und definitiv nicht mein letzter Besuch. Das Servicepersonal könnte etwas freundlicher sein und mehr auf den Kunden eingehen, ansonsten alles top.

I have been going here for many years. The food quality is great but the portion is getting smaller through the years meanwhile the price is significantly getting more expensive. Those are still fine, i guess but what bothered me was the rudeness of the lady who served our table. She was all nice and always said "sehr gerne" but didn't really listen as i was still asking question she was just left. At the end as we paid, left some euros as tips, she didn't even say thank you and just left. The restaurant was not full at the time.

Sehr leckere und perfekt zubereitete Gerichte mit Zutaten von hoher Qualität. Toller, zuvorkommender Service, der auf die spezifischen Wünsche der Kunden eingeht. Tisch Reservierung unbedingt empfohlen / erforderlich!

Habe Essen nach Hause bestellt. Die Garnelen haben gestunken und die Makis waren sehr trocken und nicht frisch. Bin sehr enttäuscht.

Misosuppe sehr gut, Yakitori leider kalt, aber mit leckerer Sauce, Sashimi Durchschnitt. Aufmerksamer und netter Service.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und preislich für Sushi völlig in Ordnung. Der Service ist auf Zack.

Einfach unglaublich lecker !! Die Sushi sind außergewöhnlich und einmalig !! Das Essen ist auch sehr zu empfehlen!
