Restaurant Kazoku Izakaya in Magdeburg

A super nice place with great food! The Japanese curry is delicious, and the appetizers are also highly recommended! Above all, the staff is impressive. We were served by a super friendly man who was always courteous and polite. All in all, a recommendation!

I am absolutely thrilled 🫶🏻 We went there for the first time a few years ago. My boyfriend and I are absolute sushi lovers and have therefore tried out many restaurants. The Kazoku restaurant easily beat our favorite 👏🏻 After our visit yesterday, we went back today. The sushi was fresh and high quality. It's unbelievable that people complain in the reviews that it's smaller than elsewhere. If the rolls aren't stretched with rice, that's a sign of quality. You're fully satisfied afterwards and don't get a stomach ache because all the rice swells up in your stomach 🥴 The food arrived after 25-30 minutes. The value for money is good. The selection of drinks is quite varied; I particularly liked the homemade drinks. The staff is friendly and when we asked, they gave us more information about sushi preparation. Simply delicious food and at a good price🙏🏻 Absolute recommendation 🫶🏻❤️

Authentic Japanese restaurant, great selection of dishes, super friendly service! So many delicious things, it's definitely worth stopping by often!

Highly recommended, worth every trip. We drove from Brandenburg on a recommendation and were very surprised by the pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Great Japanese restaurant in Magdeburg – but please don't order via Uber Eats! We ordered €360 worth of food here for a large group. Each dish was about €3 more expensive via Uber Eats – that's about €60 extra, plus a €15 tip. Unfortunately, our delivery arrived completely mixed up. The sauces were spilling out of the bike courier's pocket, which naturally ruins the quality of high-quality Japanese cuisine like sushi, ramen, or bowls. Our conclusion: Kazoku Izakaya 👌 is highly recommended locally – great quality, authentic flavor, and a stylish ambiance. However, we won't be ordering from here again via Uber Eats 🚫.

Great food, service... simply top 👍🏻 for anyone who wants to experience a bit of Japan 🏮🍜.

Definitely recommend it. New favorite restaurant.

I've eaten there several times now, and every order has tasted delicious. The staff is friendly and very quick. The decor is particularly beautiful, combining traditional elements with anime and manga—there's something new to admire every time. The only suggestion for improvement: vegan ramen would be great... :)

When I arrived, it was a bit late and I wasn't sure what I wanted, but friendly advice helped me decide on chrysanthemum tea, miso soup, and a sushi salmon bowl. The tea alone is excellent and truly relaxing. The food is very high quality and perfectly seasoned. The chefs here know their stuff. Absolutely worth a visit!

A great little restaurant with fantastic food and drinks. The value for money is excellent. We'd love to come back...

The ramen is great... Really nice atmosphere...

The food here was really delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices are great, too. I'd be happy to come back again.

We had reserved a table for two. However, in the pouring rain, we had to settle for an outside table. Despite four servers, we had to wait almost half an hour before someone took our order. But the food was once again outstanding, making up for these minor complaints.

Delicious Japanese food. Highly recommended.

A culinary highlight at Kazoku Izakaya! 🍜🍹 I was on a business trip for three days and wanted to treat myself to something special in the evening – Kazoku Izakaya was the perfect choice! The extraordinary ambiance immediately strikes you upon entering: The stylish decor with red lanterns, Japanese wall motifs, and loving details immediately creates a true izakaya feeling. You immediately feel like you're in another world – warm, lively, and inviting. The food was absolutely fantastic! The dishes were not only beautifully presented, but also tasted top-notch. I particularly want to highlight the crispy meat in a creamy sauce – perfectly seasoned and tender. The appetizer with edamame, fresh herbs, and spicy sauce was also a poem. Accompanied by a refreshing mint drink – a perfect match! Service, atmosphere, and cuisine – everything was perfect. If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine with style, this is the place for you.🙌

A culinary experience of the highest caliber. The takoyaki and chicken udon soups were incredibly delicious—perfectly balanced in flavor. The curry udon with tofu impressed with a deep, aromatic broth and subtle spiciness. Even the soup was harmoniously seasoned and showed attention to detail. The meal was rounded out with mochi ice cream, which delighted with its delicate texture and authentic sweetness. A place that interprets Japanese cuisine with finesse. Highly recommended.

Very delicious food. Whether it was noodles, rice, or sushi, everything was delicious.

Perfect, one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in a long time. The service is very friendly and helpful. The food is great value for money! €10-15 and you get a very generous portion!

A top spot in MD for enjoying authentic Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices. Reservations are recommended, as it's very busy. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. We enjoy eating here. Parking is readily available right outside.

Great food with many different flavors, varied selection and very friendly service

A very lovingly decorated restaurant. The menus are very beautiful and look handmade. The food was delicious and the service attentive. Everything was well-prepared and delicious.

I actually like going there; I've had ramen, tonkatsu curry, bento boxes, and lots of tapas there. The food is good, and the location is great. We spontaneously went there today with my 6-year-old, but I forgot my wallet. I thought about ordering something via Uber and told the employee that, and it was fine. But then the problem arose: they don't offer drinks online, so I asked for two glasses of tap water for us. No, that wouldn't work; they have to earn money, and it's more expensive. Okay, so it costs something, double? 4 cents per liter? So they decided to forgo the 40 euros... I probably would have gotten more if they'd accommodated us. I was also in the mood for takoyaki, but we left without food, and I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

A delicious, unique restaurant with Japanese food

Great service, very friendly, and open to any special requests. The food is heavenly. Definitely worth a visit. I'll be back again and again.

We spontaneously went there for lunch today and were absolutely thrilled. The restaurant has a cool interior and exudes a real Japanese flair. The food was also incredibly delicious; I had takoyaki and tonkotsu ramen, and my girlfriend had yakitori and hot teriyaki chicken sushi. But the highlight for us was the service. The waiters were super nice to us, even after I spilled my Coke all over the table. The waitress took every opportunity to joke around with our little daughter and had won her heart after just five minutes. She also fed our little one blueberries so we could eat a little more relaxed. She also gave us a few slices of cucumber for our little one as a farewell gift, all free of charge. We've never experienced anything like it before; next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be back!

It was truly incredibly delicious and very nice. You have to eat there at least once.

I can only recommend it to anyone who is looking for authentic Japanese cuisine

Very nice, authentic shop. The food is delicious.

Absolutely fantastic! We're from Düsseldorf and have high expectations due to the Japanese Quarter. This izakaya is excellent, and in some cases even better than some of the restaurants there! We had some meat tapas, all of which were excellent.

Everything was super delicious 😋

The best restaurant in Magdeburg!!! Authentic and fresh Japanese cuisine with super friendly service and a great atmosphere!!! A culinary highlight

I recommend coming for lunch. Excellent benti boxes. DELICIOUS! 😜 Plus, a great atmosphere and great servers! Everything is top-notch!

The food is somehow too bland for me but the staff are super super nice!

Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Authentic food with fresh ingredients, lovingly prepared. I'd be happy to return.

The food was delicious, just like last time. The staff was very friendly.

Mega delicious food and mega great friendly team

It was our first time there and we absolutely loved it. The atmosphere appeals to all ages. Asian highlights range from waving cats to anime and manga characters. The food is delicious and the selection is huge for such a small, fine restaurant. The restroom is chic and clean! The server is super friendly and patient :) Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back 👏🏼

Damn good food. I've managed to convince all my friends to eat there, and no one has regretted it. Definitely recommended!

Delicious food, almost as good as in Japan 😍 You can sit there comfortably and the service is great!

Sehr nettes personal, Ambiente einfach aber sauber. Das erste mal dort gewesen, Udonnudeln mit Ente gegessen. Es war sehr gut vom Geschmack. Darauf hin wollten wir das zweite mal was anderes ausprobieren. Reis mit Rindfleisch, Sojabohnen Kimchi. Das Essen war nicht heiß, und das Ei leider fast roh. Leider bin ich nicht der Mensch, der was zurück gehen läßt, aber Experimente werde ich dort nicht mehr machen. Der Koch konnte das eigentlich nicht übersetzen, was mich enttäuscht hat.

Very friendly and attentive service; large selection of delicious dishes. Highly recommended! I had curry with deep-fried pork (カツカレー), with karaage and a Kirin beer – the taste was completely authentic. For a moment, it felt like I was in Kyoto :)

This is my third time at this restaurant. The first few times, everything was wonderful: the food was delicious, and the service was good. Unfortunately, on my third visit, I was proven wrong: Drinks were forgotten, dessert was out of stock, and the sushi I ordered was "filled" with a main ingredient that didn't taste good at all. Since I had no choice on my plate, I had to endure it. I've passed on the review. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed and won't be coming back.

Well worked out menu, good food and friendly staff. I was new in town and a friend recommended this place. We went in group of 3 we all had something we didn’t eaten yet. All of us liked it. The outdoor sitting in summer is definitely a plus point. It’s exactly located in hasselbach. Easy accessible to tram and Sbahn.

The food was delicious, cannot be described in words.👌 – The service was very attentive – The atmosphere is traditional, a small but cozy restaurant – The price-performance ratio is right – a haven of good food & an integral part of the map of good taste. I can only recommend everyone to eat here 👌 A little tip: reserve in advance, then you'll get your place with a guarantee

Absolutely fantastic! I couldn't possibly recommend this place more. The food is wonderful! Everything was prepared perfectly and was also quite quick to be served. Prices are very reasonable and the homemade "lemonade"s are delicious. I had a Ginger and Goji and it was great. The atmosphere is lovely. Quite cosy and could be considered cramped indoors however it was rather busy and we were still able to chat at a quiet volume easily without being interrupted or interrupting anyone.

I can really recommend everyone to have eaten here! It is by far the best Japanese restaurant I have ever eaten at! 1. The ambience! It's really reminiscent of the small restaurants from Japan and feels absolutely authentic, as if you were in Japan. 2. Service! We were served very quickly by the staff really nice and took the time to explain everything when we had questions about the dishes. A little tip: if you don't know how to introduce the dishes, you can see pictures of the respective dishes on their online menu. 3. EAT! If you want more Japanese food than just sushi, this is the place for you. (Admittedly the sushi plates the others had looked really cool and were praised to the heavens). Personally, I can only speak about the takoyaki, okonomiyaki, udon noodle soup, and fried udon. But man oh man, they were good and so beautifully prepared 😍 a feast for all the senses. At the end we were very full and very happy. And despite being full, we just had to try the desserts and I can only say one thing, the pandankeki (homemade steamed rice coconut cakes served warm) blew us away, as did the macha teramisu... A dream. Truly a dream! 4th prize! We both had a starter, a main course, a dessert and drinks for €55...for the quality on offer it's a really unbeatable price. In a standard Italian restaurant you pay more for significantly less. So in terms of price-performance, these are really great. So all in all, this store impressed us across the board! We will definitely become regular guests, try out the menu (it was difficult to decide on what to eat because everything sounded so delicious) and bring our friends with us. Many thanks to the entire team for the lovely evening! See you next time!

My absolute favorite restaurant. It's always a treat to come here.

A small restaurant with very friendly service! The food was fantastic. There is a difference between good food and very good food. The latter applies here. Delicious, authentic, balanced and the price-performance ratio is very customer-friendly. Every bite can be enjoyed. It's a shame that we don't live in Magdeburg but are just visiting. Otherwise it could become a favorite restaurant. Thank you to the service and the kitchen for this lovely experience.

Simply beautiful restaurant. The sushi and ramen were great and the staff was very nice. You can also have food packed. Very, very great, nothing to complain about! A recommendation

Absolute recommendation! The ambience was beautiful, the staff was very nice and the food was delicious. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and I can only recommend it, just like the Sakura (Roku Gin Cocktail). My companion had a matcha latte which she found very tasty and a selection of sushi where the sashimi was an absolute highlight. Absolutely recommend the store really top.

Very nice restaurant with authentic cuisine. Great selection, very friendly service and excellent food. Thank you very much ✨️

Incredibly tasty, staff super friendly

Very tasty ramen soups and a very nice lunch in bentos (nice box that separates the food). Tea and iced tea are also available in different varieties.

Authentic Japanese cuisine highly recommended top price performance very friendly staff delicious homemade lemonades

Food was great. It was busy, so there were small glitches in the service, but the service was very nice and attentive.

Very tasty food. Very great/nice service. Very comfortably furnished restaurant. Authentic.

Top evening with Daniel and service from Tim were great, new acquaintances and delicious food as well as the finest Riesling🙌🏻🥰🙏🏻😋

We had an all-around fantastic lunch there... fresh sushi, seaweed salad, and dumplings... it was simply delicious, and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Beautiful little shop on Hassel, everyone's food was very tasty and, above all, fresh, the Yakiudon with duck and teriyaki sauce was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. We'll definitely be back!

It is delicious, the food look awesome and tasty incredible

For me, the best restaurant in town! Everything is just right here. It's easy to get there (be sure to make a reservation!). The food selection is extensive, and the dishes are always delicious, fresh, and served quickly! I especially recommend the tofu ramen and the ginger tea! The tofu steak is also delicious. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely be back again and again!

Small, cozy restaurant and nice service

Exquisite Japanese cuisine, we took boxing and ramen with drinks. I highly recommend boxing 🔥🔥🔥

Authentic Japanese food with a large selection I can recommend

We had a starter, main course and dessert, it was all very good and tasted something different, not just plain old food, but authentically Japanese. The young waiter was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was small and cozy, cutely decorated. Very relaxed atmosphere, I can only recommend it to everyone.

Very nice restaurant with excellent cuisine. We really enjoyed being there and can only recommend it!

A small cozy restaurant. The service is very friendly. The food was excellent!!! In any case, you should reserve a table in advance.

So inconspicuous and incredibly delicious. Every dish is of high quality and also looks chic. I can recommend the non-alcoholic lemonades! And what is also very important, the price is right. Conclusion: My favorite restaurant in Magdeburg 🫶🏼

Hello August 23, 2023 Today I was here again with my wife and daughter. 😋 Delicious as always. The staff lovely and friendly as always. This is deservedly our favorite restaurant. Thank you very much and stay healthy. Greetings Hardy Hello July 15, 2022 Everything VERY GOOD as always. Hello May 12, 2023 Today we were there on the occasion of our 6th wedding anniversary (sugar wedding). here for the lunch menu (my little wife really wanted to try a bento box) eat. And we have to say = GREAT RESTAURANT. WE WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED HERE. EVERYTHING TASTES GREAT HERE AND THE SERVICE IS VERY NICE. AND ALL AT REASONABLE PRICES. The nice young man bought us dessert. Thanks so much. Very very very happy again and again. Thank you very much and stay healthy. Greetings Hardy Hello April 1, 2023 Today I had dinner here with my wife, daughter and mother-in-law on the occasion of my 51st birthday. FINALLY A JAPANESE RESTAURANT WHERE THERE IS NOT JUST SUSHI. (e.g. Ponjo soup (StudioGIBLI)) I had already done my homework and picked out my dishes on the Kozoku website. And that was a good thing. Because the menu at IM Kozoku itself is not that nice. Confusing, colorless and too much on one page. It felt like Ikea cabinet building instructions. My mother-in-law was completely overwhelmed. The service was very friendly, competent and quick. The drinks were very nice to look at and, above all, delicious. The starters were also very tasty, which I was very happy about. I had the fried dumplings. (Dumplings are exactly my thing) The main courses were in no way inferior. These were very nice to look at and, like everything, were VERY VERY DELICIOUS. The ambience was actually nice. It could easily be a little bigger. I'd love to come back here. Stay that good. Thank you very much and stay healthy. Greetings Hardy Oh, fix the door! The door slamming is a little annoying. And sorry, but we don't go there after 7 p.m. There are so many photophobia subjects hanging around Hasselbachplatz that we all felt uneasy as we made our way back to the car.

A small restaurant with great potential. The atmosphere is very cozy and decorated in Japanese style. The menu is very extensive and there is something for every taste. The food is presented stylishly and attractively, with absolutely perfect freshness and taste. Ultimately, the friendliness of the hosts is also convincing. Thank you. Highly recommended!

great authentic restaurant with a wide variety of dishes without sacrificing quality

Have been there many times and this time also with our little daughter. The employees, especially the waitress, were so kind to her and treated her so lovingly. We have never been treated so well as a family at a restaurant.

Small but fine restaurant with a huge selection of fresh, delicious dishes and tasty lemonades. The sushi was perfect, the service was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommended! Tables for two were sometimes very narrow, but there was enough space for a partner's plate of sushi.

Super lecker, super freundlich und sehr gemütlich 😊. Wir arbeiten uns Stück für Stück durch die Karte und waren immer mehr als zufrieden 😁

The food is really very good, the menu leaves nothing to be desired. From sushi to frame to kare raisu, every dish is recommended. Price performance is appropriate, it definitely won't be a cheap visit, but one that tastes good. Why only 4 stars, last time we had to wait almost 35 minutes to order and then another 45 minutes for the food…. Clear recommendation!

Authentic, small restaurant with a large selection. In terms of quality, every dish was really high quality and well prepared. The hibiscus iced tea was also incredibly delicious. I will definitely come back next time I visit Magdeburg.

Simply the best Japanese restaurant in Magdeburg. We always like to come. The price is appropriate for the quality, anyone who claims otherwise doesn't value quality.

Wir sind zufällig auf dieses kleine Restaurant gestoßen. das Ambiente war sehr ansprechend, die Bedienung superfreundlich und unaufdringlich und das Essen war richtig gut. Wir mussten auch nicht lange darauf warten.

The seating is a bit uncomfortable but the food was delicious. I would come back. You should definitely reserve a seat at lunchtime.

Nice, friendly service, tasty, high-quality food. The ambience is generally ok, but look again at small things like your flower pots or cables lying around. Easy to fix and would complete the overall look.

75 min aufs Essen gewartet. Essen ist Geschmackssache , es ist anders aber für mich nicht noch einmal. Für etwas mehr Niveau nicht geeignet.

Perfection in its purest form, indescribable flavor, I can only recommend it🤤

I was at this place with my family & friends. The restaurant is small but cosy with different Asian deco elements🏮The stuff is very friendly & nice😊The food was served quickly. We had tonkotsu ramen🍜, tori karaage, sake maki, tekka maki, unagi nigiri, ibodai, dragon eyes🍣🍙🍘, daiginjo sake, yuzu tea, butterfly pea tea, ginger tea, choco panacotta, mochi ice. We really loved the dishes😋

Great restaurant, great food. It's not easy to decide. Sushi were very tasty, fresh and wonderfully served. Everything else is tried little by little.

Ich war jetzt zum zweiten Mal in Magdeburg dort Essen. Es war wieder hervorragend. Komme bestimmt wieder wenn ich wieder in Magdeburg bin

Nice, just nice Above all, it tastes good I would like to come again

Great Japanese food. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Every bite was simply divine. The service was very friendly. The atmosphere is quintessentially Japanese. Like in a typical sake restaurant. On our next visit to Magdeburg we'll go to Kazoku again Kazuko for the second. It was again extremely tasty. Staff very friendly. I would love to come back next time I visit Magdeburg 😁

I've been there three times now and it's always been delicious!

Quer durch die Karte alles top zubereitet. Sushi handwerklich und geschmacklich sehr gut. Das Personal ist schnell uhd aufmerksam. Toiletten sind auch sauber, alles macht einen gepflegten Eindruck. Man bemerkte das wir wegen eines Geburtstags da waren und spendierte uns Sekt. Neues Lieblingsrestaurant 😁

Such a great restaurant! It is lovingly and detailedly furnished, the staff is courteous (they even take the guests' jackets) and the food is fantastic. Absolutely top price-performance ratio.

Despite the fact that it is very small inside, we had a lot of space with 8 people. The appetizer and drinks arrived after a few minutes. The food was impeccable and the portions were very large for the price. Service was nice. The food, drinks and decor looked very nice.

Top service, very tasty food and great ambience with a mix of traditional and modern Japanese decor! Just be careful with the ingredients. Some dishes were declared as veggie/vegan, but had e.g. E.g. “Tamago” (egg)/ “Bonito” (fish) as ingredients. I think that veggie/vegan is more of an indication that these dishes can be served veggie/vegan.

Excellent authentic Japanese cuisine. In a small, relaxed location. Great

Very nice atmosphere with great service. However, the food is very steep for the price. I understand the increased costs that will be incurred in 2024. This could be offset by using more pasta with sauce, for example, so that both the customer and the restaurateur both have a profit. Still recommended.

Very attentive service, fresh and plentiful food, extremely pleasant atmosphere, a place to feel good

We ate here on a Monday evening and luckily were able to get a table for an hour without a reservation. The restaurant is quite cozy, especially for a group of >4 people. There are still nice places outside, but not nearly as nicely decorated as the interior there. It's definitely worth a visit for the beautifully presented food and drink.

The food was very tasty and the service also made the visit very pleasant. I can only recommend it. Since the store isn't too big, the volume is also pleasant. Recommended 👍🏻

A very cute shop that offers really good food. The ambience is also enchanting :) .

The food is okay but it is incredibly small and crowded. One gets to basically share the table with strangers. No intimacy at all. And the prices are not on the inexpensive side too...

Ich habe liefern lassen. Eine Grilled Fish Platte plus eine Suppe, insgesamt 55 Euro. Das darf Essen kosten wenn es gut ist. Qualitativ war es dann auch gut. Leider gab es keinerlei Muscheln zum Platte. Auch bei einem Anruf danach hieß es einfach: "Sorry, Muscheln sind aus". Das ist mir zu wenig bei einer Platte für 42 €. Ich habe einen Vorschlag bei dem Anruf vermisst. So ist das zu teuer für die Leistung.
