Kushi-Tei of Tokyo in Düsseldorf

Great ambiance and solid food. Four stars, given the many other Japanese restaurants in Düsseldorf. Definitely a solid choice.

Unfriendly staff and overpriced food—first and also the last time eating here.

Super delicious food; meat directly from the charcoal grill in the restaurant

Kushi-Tei of Tokyo is a simple and authentic place, which focuses entirely on quality. The seafood is excellent, with top-notch nigiri and charcoal-grilled yakitori cooked to perfection. The vast selection of sake is also excellent. The service is essential, in line with the type of restaurant. Rather high bill, but quality that justifies it. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese experience in Düsseldorf, this is the right place

It was a spontaneous idea that we went out for Japanese food yesterday on a Tuesday. We were relatively late and were surprised that we had to wait a short time until we got a table. The restaurant was packed. The atmosphere is nice. The waitresses speak little German, but English worked well. The food was perfect and the Japanese beer went down easily. The service was also good. The waitresses were attentive. The facility is functional. Not a big eye-catcher, but we also went there to eat.

Ordered 38 euro per person set meal last night, service pretty good, wait not a long time for the food, and is definitely enough for one person to eat (can’t even finish all of it). Food is good, but is not the taste I am that into, so maybe I will give a 4/5 for food I got, and 5/5 for service, won’t be back again in a short time.

Delicious foods and friendly service

This is (by far) one of the best Japanese restaurants in Dusseldorf. I ordered a sushi selection and a salmon don bowl. All food was fresh, tasty and came quickly. Highly recommended!

Waiting 45 minutes outside to be seated and when we ordered they said the menu that was presented outside was only for dinner. They did not try to accommodate the customers. So we left. They told us a big SORRY. Very busy and overrated. Try something else in the area!

Simply furnished restaurants, but with excellent cuisine and staff. The food was amazing!!! We'll definitely be back!

I ordered the regular set, and although the food was expensive (35,8), it was delicious. Except for the kitchen, everyone in the restaurant was Japanese and friendly. I ate well and left.

A piece of Japan in the middle of Düsseldorf! At the 'Kushitei of Tokyo' you can experience typical Japanese hospitality - friendly, attentive and warm. I ordered the 'Beef Kalbi Don Gozen' and it was a delight: tender, pink grilled beef, lightly seasoned, perfectly complemented by rice, side vegetables and a soothing miso soup. An authentic experience that I can recommend to every Japan fan. Next time I'll try something new!

We waited 1h+ in the queue. It was quite late and near the closing time. Luckily we were the last ones that were allowed to get in to grab some food. We ordered tori karaage, meat skewers (roppon mori), luxuri sushi set, omakase 7 sashimi set and kinako vanilla icecream. It was all so delicious. We really enjoyed our meal. The seafood were so fresh and the service was friendly. Would come back here 🤗

Been there for the first time. Incredibly good quality of food. The menu is expensive but worth every euro. The service was good and very friendly. I'll be back despite the 100 km distance.

Had the Kushitei menu with yakitori and sushi. The yakitori was served before the sushi, only when I was finished with the yakitori skewers was the sushi served. It would be better to serve both at the same time as I didn't want to eat just meat. In itself it was delicious. Service could be a little quicker. Prices are higher. All in all, recommended for special evenings and yakitori fans.

Very good Japanese restaurant totally recommended if you are in little Tokyo in Dusseldorf

Very tasty food, very authentic and a relaxed atmosphere. Worth a visit!

Great food. Japanese grill restaurant with a nice selection. I can only recommend it.

The quality of the food, especially the sushi, is very high, the skewers are perfectly grilled. Ambience and service great.

Our favorite for years now. Delicious Japanese food of hight quality, and with a friendly service. The only thing that bothers me is the waiting outside in the cold (1st of Feb 2025) and that you cannot make a reservation on Saturday. And, although the food is fresh and delicious, prices are on the higher side.

We were in the restaurant about 1.5 hours before the kitchen closed, which is not recommended. The food was good to very good, the service was friendly but uncoordinated. The agreed menu sequence was not adhered to. The most disturbing thing, however, was that tidying up and cleaning had already started about 45 minutes before the kitchen closed, so that cleaning equipment was constantly being carried past our table, there was a large trash can in the dining room and there was a strong smell of disinfectants. Conclusion: You can go, but go early

Authentic Japanese Yakitori, 6 types with rice. Good for lunch.

Had a relaxing evening with attentive service and very tasty food.

Authentic Japanese restaurant. Still very tasty. However, prices have increased significantly in recent years. Still worth a visit every now and then during your lunch break.

die gerichte waren wirklich sehr lecker besonders die yakitori-spieße und das sushi waren frisch und ausgezeichnet das personal war sehr freundlich und gastfreundlich das interieur des restaurants war stilvoll und gemütlich die lage war ebenfalls sehr zentral und gut erreichbar die preise waren angemessen für die qualität der speisen insgesamt war ich sehr zufrieden

Very good food, sushi quality also very good. Staff very friendly. Above all, we were able to finish our meal in peace, even though it was already closed.

Fantastic experience like in any Japanese restaurant on this same street. Many of the Japanese restaurants in Spain and many Spaniards who believe they master Japanese cuisine should learn from these restaurants. If you go in Japan 🇯🇵 to a supposedly Spanish restaurant and there is only paella and sangria on the menu, we would flee immediately. There is much more than sushi 🍣 and makis in Japanese cuisine and for this Düsselfdorf is a small paradise in Europe. PS: there are many Spanish restaurants in Düsselfdorf, but don't even think about going there, they are quite mediocre

Very good dishes and an appealing ambience adapted to the Japanese style. There is still room for improvement when it comes to service. A reservation is definitely recommended.

Alles gut - mit Reservation gibt’s bestimmt einen angenehmeren Tisch. Das Essen ist sehr gut - beim Service hat es noch Luft nach oben:

Gutes Essen, guter Service! Authentisches japanisches Restaurant im japanischen viertel von Düsseldorf

Ein schon sehr lange bestehende Japanisches Restaurant. Die Gerichte haben sich in den letzten Jahren nicht geändert, immer noch sehr gut, leider ist das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis etwas zu hoch. Deshalb auch meine mittelmäßige Bewertung. Das Yakitori Menü mit 8 Spiechen um 38,-- finde ich persönlich zu teuer. Zumal es wirklich sehr kleine Spießchen sind und auch die Zutaten nicht wirklich die teuersten sind

Excellent food, really nice staff

Yakitori is juicy and the sauce is great. I will go again.

Great, delicious food. The first time I ate in Germany like I did in Japan. Large selection of Japanese food. Highly recommended.

Tja, ik had er meer van verwacht. Als je gaat zorg dan dat je in de ruimte (bij binnenkomst) een tafeltje krijgt. De ruimte ernaast komt als een kantine over. Vrij onpersoonlijk, snelle bediening en eten was redelijk.

Charcoal grill 6pcs: salty 2.5/5 Yakitori Don w/ egg: 3/5 Saba Kara Teishoku: 4/5 *rice is a minus it’s dry *total bill without tip: 55.90€

Ein perfekter Abend mit sehr gutem Essen und perfektem, sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Service. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, vielen Dank, dass wir Ihre Gäste sein durften.

Ate wonderful soup, there were 4 of us, we all like Japanese cuisine, all the dishes were good, fast service, overall satisfied, we'll be back!

Unagi und Gyoza waren sehr lecker. Thank you for the meal.

They are my motivation of living in dusseldorf, or else i couldnt stay in this city another day

Die Speisekarte ist ein bisschen trashig aber passend. Qualität der Grillsticks und den Wakamesalat sehr gut. Allerdings hinkt ein bisschen das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis, da Mittel-bis Hochpreisig. Ich bin gerne im Kushi-Tei.

The food was good but expensive. The atmosphere is shabby and uncomfortable. But the worst thing was the kick-out music, hard beats with a hard rock mix, far too loud and anything but harmonious. Very tiring and not conducive to a good meal. I don't know why people do something like that. A friend told me that this would happen more often now so that the guests would disappear quickly. For me an exclusion criterion. I wouldn't want to dine in such an environment twice. Really annoying.

The taste was too average, which made me a little disappointed. There are also small flying insects in the restaurant that need to be driven away from time to time.

So for 2 each of Sake Toro and Eel A portion of gyoza, a portion of karage and ramen €90 is way too expensive And the ramen was the worst I've ever eaten

I was here with my wife for the first time and we were very satisfied. Sushi 🍣 great! Jakitori great! Service super friendly. The style of the restaurant really makes you believe you are sitting in a Japanese Jakitori Bar. Really great! The service only speaks Japanese and a bit of English, even the menu looks like in Japan 🇯🇵 We were very satisfied! Arigato 😊☺️

10/10 we went here last minute on the last day. It was delicious, kind staff and fast service. The food tasted really good and authentic. I would recommend to make a reservation online since the queue can be long for walk-ins.

This place has been on my "want to go" list for a while. Everytime I was too late or the lines were too long to wait in with 2 small children. But finally I had the chance to eat here while not waiting in line longer than 10/15 minutes. The menu for lunch has a little less options than the one for dinner so I had to adjust my order a bit. The staff is so friendly and really tried to help us to choose items on the menu and speak English with us. We chose the selection of different nigiri, maki and gunkan, the selection of 7 kinds of sashimi (the selection varies per day due to availability), the wagyu, the 5 different yakitori and the aburi toro salmon ikura. And I must say the quality of the rice and fish are amazing. I am ruïned forever. I won't be able to eat sushi in the Netherlands anymore. The price is very worth the quality. I found out later you can make a reservation. So on my next visit to Düsseldorf I will definitely make a reservation for dinner.

This used to be an excellent restaurant for refined japanese cuisine, especially charcoal-grilled meat, sushi and sashimi. The quality and freshness of the fish and meat are still superb. But the early closing time ( 10:00 p.m. ) in combination with a rather rude service -accepting last orders only before 09.00 p.m., staff pawing the ground expecting you to leave from 09:40 p.m. on- is simply not what one expects from a venue where the invididual bill usually ranges from 60 € per Person upwards.

Visited for lunch on a weekday. There is a lunch menu, so if you go for lunch on a weekday, you can eat at a slightly discounted price. Rather than a restaurant specializing in one menu, it sells a variety of foods. I had chicken cutlet for lunch and it was pretty good. It was much better than the tonkatsu restaurant next door. I don't know if the quality varies from menu to menu or from day to day because I've only been there once. The staff felt somewhat abrasive, and the store was relatively large compared to nearby stores, so turnover was decent.

Nice place to enjoy various japanese food with 'izakaya' vibe

The food is very good, however, the guy with glasses has not the right attituted nor the right choice of word to properly deal with clients. It is unfortunate that it takes only one person poor behaviour to ruin the good efforts put by the rest of the stuff.

Very good food, authentically japanese. Service is quite slow. The waitress asked me if I wanted wasabi inside the nigiri but there wasn't. Price is ok for the quality of food.

Although it is a Kushi specialty restaurant, it is not right to evaluate it after eating sushi, karaage, and udon, but the quality of the sushi in the lunch sushi set is very different from that in Japan. Please note

The sushi was freshly wrapped, but it was placed on the bar for a long time and was not served to us. There was no seasoning or wasabi. Very perfunctory and perfunctory. I have seen many guests complain about their unfriendliness. We have experienced it because the location is very convenient. It is not that they do a good job. The house is very old and I can't imagine how dirty the invisible areas are.

We love Japanese food and went here for an extensive lunch. My wife had the sushi set menu and I had the Kushi-sushi set menu. The menu starts of with a starter and miso soup, after which you get the main dishes and ends with a mochi green tea ice cream. I really liked the kushiyaki here and the sushi was good. The set includes all meats. The miso soup was so good my daughter even ate all the mini cubes of tofu inside. The service is very good and I suspect that most people that work here are either Japanese or speak perfect Japanese.

I tried to reserve a table via Opentable, but unfortunately that didn't work. An attempt to alert a restaurant employee to the problem also failed as no one seemed willing to answer the phone. The quality of the food may be good, but the customer service is poor, so unfortunately I only give one star.

The sushi was fantastic. I’d put it up against expensive New York City sushi bars.

Authentic Japanese food. Friendly staff. The children liked the sushi. I loved the eel. It is a grill restaurant, so choose the grill dishes to taste! They make it on a grill in the open kitchen. Definitely come back here.

I was very much looking forward to exploring the Japanese cuisine in Dusseldorf and when I stumbled upon this place, I was completely adamant to eat here for dinner. I was with 3 other friends and we went on a Saturday evening at around 7:30pm - I believe they only do walk-ins during the weekends; luckily we only waited for 10 mins before being seated. The restaurant is quite spacious and the ambience is nice. I opted for the yakitori/sushi set and was very pleased with the quality of the food and portion size. It's not cheap but I thought it's a good value for the money. Service was also relatively quick considering how busy it was. All the servers were very friendly and accommodating; I requested for the yakitori sauces on the side and they delivered just that. It was the highlight of my Dusseldorf visit and I'd go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat!

Sehr sehr leckeres authentisches japanisches Essen. Preise sind gerechtfertigt sobald man das essen vor sich hat. Portionen sind groß. Man wird satt. Besonders die Grillspieße spiegeln die Erfahrungen des Koches wieder. Sehr zu empfehlen. Besonders als Abschluss einer Reise oder für einen besonderen Abend. Für größere Gruppen nicht geeignet. Außerdem empfehle ich vorher zu reservieren.

Nice place. Always busy. Go early or reserve in advance. Prices are not low

A piece of Japan in the center of Dusseldorf! As always, amazing! Wonderful food, great service and fantadtic atmosphere.... Kushi-Tei has been always amazing! Thank you very much!

I ordered a set of kushiyaki, beef teriyaki, karaage, and chicken teriyaki. Everything was absolutely perfect! The flavors were well-balanced, and the dishes were cooked to perfection. If I may suggest, adding a bit more sauce to the kushiyaki would enhance the taste even further. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely be ordering again!

I've been here now and then. Sushi tastes very good. When I eat sushi here, I remember kikaku, I think the first sushi restaurant in Düsseldorf is just as good here. I don't think Ebi Tempura Don is that great here, the dough wasn't that crispy or the color wasn't gold enough and I think the sauce is super sweet. I've eaten better in Düsseldorf. Grilled Saba fish is delicious as standard. So generally good Japanese restaurant.

Authentisch japanische Speisen. Wir gehen immer wieder gerne hin. Zum Abendessen sollte man aber vorher reservieren

very tasty, very nice, very authentic

Great food, good service and a decent ambience. Different sized portion options too. A good place for a Japnese meal.

Service was great but I was disappointed by the quality of the food. Maybe I expected too much. This fish was quite fresh but cut too thick making it overpowering when eating. And the yakitori + unagi lack this “smokey/grilled” taste that they’re supposed to have. I liked the variety of vegetable tempura but the method of frying and amount of batter made it mediocre. Nevertheless I’d still like to revisit but for the sushi next time.

Very tasty and recommended. A little more expensive but it's okay for the quality

Japanese restaurant with bento style meals. Staff are all Japanese but they speak both German and English which is very helpful, plus points there. Food is ok, just not 4 stars, but the service is decent. Good when you have Japanese craving needing a quick fix!

Da wird noch echte japanische Sushi Kunst betrieben. Die Zutaten sind allesamt sehr frisch. Man merkt, dass die Gäste mit Hingabe und das Essen mit handwerklicher Kunst hergestellt und zelebriert wird. Das Ambiente ist sehr japanisch. Im hinteren Bereich gibt es auch Tisch in typischer japanischer Machart. Schuhe ausziehen ist oberstes Gebot. Wir hatten uns einmal quer durch die ansprechende Karte gegessen und haben jedes Gericht mit viel Appetit gegessen. Ich kann die Sushi Bar wirklich jedem Sushi-Liebhaber wärmstens ans Herz legen. Eine echte TOP 10 bei Tripadvisor.

Wir kennen das Kushi tei schon viele Jahre und es hat sich verändert. Viele Touristen, konstant hohe Preise und der Service war zuletzt nicht der Rede wert. Im ersten Teil des Restaurants war es so kalt, dass einige Gäste ihre Jacken samt Mütze getragen haben. Sorry, das geht gar nicht. Die Qualität der Sushi war gut, Salate und Spieße von der Qualität ebenfalls. Warum wird nur alles auf kalten Tellern in einem kalten Raum serviert? Damit war das Essen nachher lauwarm bis kalt. Mit 145 Euro für 2 Personen mit überschaubaren Essen für japanische Verhältnisse OK, für uns im Gesamtrahmen auf keinen Fall.

Delicious food, finally no Sushi or Tepan for once. Very worthwhile and would like to come back again.

Sushi is expensive, but I can imagine that this is due to the Japanese quality standards. You just don't get that with every fish you buy. My dish was delicious and reasonably priced, friendly service and an authentic atmosphere made the visit very pleasant, even shortly before departure after a training course.

Straight to the point... 1. the ramen's quality doesn't worth the money. 2. the dinning atmosphere is ok-ise. quite annoying on the noise made from waiter's slippers when approach you. he walks like in his own house not work at a restaurant should be. (the waitress doesn't !)

The food is very tasty, but due to the constantly open doors it is cold.

I was there for lunch and had a menu from the daily menu, 12pm-2pm. The service was friendly and professional. My meal, grilled chicken with side dishes, was sufficient and very tasty. The menu is fairly priced. Small drawback in the ambience, which I found to be a bit old school. But, my clear recommendation for the Kushi-Tei of Tokyo! 👍😃

One of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Düsseldorf's Little Tokyo. Everything you order really tastes good here.

Einer der besten Orte in Düsseldorf, um ein hohes Maß an Susji-Qualität in einem locleren Ambiente zu genießen.

A nice Japanese restaurant with variety of options ranging from sushi to Izagaya or Japanese skewers options. The food quality is really good. Sushi are fresh and tasty. Another recommendation are eel dishes. There are also lunch menus which provide good deals.

You should change the design of the name card. It’s sun rising flag which is the symbol of Japan’s war crimes during the world wars. It’s nothing different from Germany’s H. flag. Using this flag is morally wrong and it’s humiliation for the victims of Japanese war crimes. Do not forget and neglect your own history.

Authentisch, köstlich! Einfach nur Klasse. Preislich natürlich nicht billig, aber den Preis wert.

The Kushi Tei may have been good in the past, but its quality has deteriorated dramatically in recent years. Service is sometimes outrageous (sometimes the dishes only arrived when the rest of the table was almost finished eating; the waitress's succinct answer was that the kitchen was very busy). The food was partially warmed up, the flank steak felt like it had come out of the microwave. Dishes are very expensive and the quality of the food definitely does not correspond to the price.

The manager giving bad service towards shin mikeyin

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant im Zentrum von Düsseldorf nahe des Hauptbahnhofs. Die Speisekarte hat eine reichhaltige Auswahl und die Gerichte sind sehr lecker. Die Preise sind marktgerecht. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Das Essen war hervorragend nur das Fleisch war zäh

Very good food. Good and authentic. Unfortunately, the prices for the skewers are exorbitant for what you get

There was a piece of bone in the food and the manager named “Kengo” was very rude and disrespectful when I confronted him about the piece.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! All dishes were excellent and very tasty. Starters huge, friendly staff a bit expensive, but definitely worth it! We planned to come back!

Absolutely not recommended. Wrong order received, staff didn't care. The manager was also extremely unfriendly and showed zero goodwill.

The service is terrible. When you eat for over €100 you expect better service. The staff complained and wanted to speak to the manager who then expelled us from the shop. Food was also inedible for the money!!!

Die Sanitäranlagen sind genauso renovierungsbedürftig wie der Rest der Lokalität. Ein Anstrich, sowie ein Austausch des Mobiliars sollte bei den, offensichtlich sehr guten Einnahmen, drin sein. Das Essen war durchgängig sehr gut und der Service war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit.

All the dishes tasted were very appreciated: charcoal taste for the meat, fresh and generous salmon in the sushi, perfect soup. I highly recommend the Krusty curry rice.

Hervorragendes Sushi und nette zuvorkommende Bedienung . Spezial Wunsch habe ich vorab am Telefon geklärt und wurde genau umgesetzt . Wir haben uns sehr gefreut ! Wir können das Restaurant auf jeden Fall empfehlen .

Es war wie immer super! Absolute Empfehlung und meines Erachtens das authentischste japanische Restaurant außerhalb Japans

We chose this restaurant because we wanted authentic Japanese food and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and we got a table even without a reservation.

A pesar de tener una reserva confirmada, este restaurante se negó a cumplir con su compromiso. Además, dejaron a un grupo de 12 empresarios afuera sin ninguna explicación o disculpa.

Authentisches japanisches Restaurant. Sowohl die Spieße, als auch das Sushi und die verschiedenen Vorspeisen sind sehr gut auf den Punkt zubereitet. Ganz klare Empfehlung.

We had a confirmed reservation for 13 people. The reservation could not be found in the restaurant, which is not the issue; something like that can happen. No problem at all. But what doesn't work is if you don't even try to solve the mistake you made. Rude and absolutely not helpful. It was referred to the “boss”, but he didn’t show up. After 15 minutes we had enough and looked for an alternative.

Delicious! Especially the grilled chicken! We come regularly
