An excellent restaurant! The dishes are prepared and served with creativity and love, every detail is perfectly coordinated. The drinks are also excellent. Add to that the friendly staff – highly recommended!
We tried 3 different pastas, carbonara, pesto and pollo and they were super oily. The food was grassy and did not leave a good taste. I see the comments for pizza are great, but avoid their pasta.
The prices (26 - 34,- starter and main dish starting at 32 till 60,-) you expect friendly welcoming and professional service who knows what is n the various dishes, remembers orders and brings the vine at the right time. The starter - avocado tuna tartar for 34,- €) was simply catastrophic a avocado hard as a stone and tuna to salty. Main dishes were ok but again overpriced. They compensated the starter by offering free desert with espresso which was very kind and well appreciated. Service was very friendly but at these prices you expect a much more professional service. No recommendation, no second try. Location nice, even if the area at Konstablerwache by night is not the best. From our table at the window we could see people urinating against the trash.
One of the best vegan restaurants in all of Frankfurt!
In addition, there are definitely the best cakes and tarts here by far.
Very friendly owners and a very relaxed atmosphere. Here you can feel very comfortable and eat really tasty food.
A truly great Italian restaurant suitable for everyday dining. Service is absolutely top-notch and very attentive, and the food comes out quickly. Perfect if you're going out to eat with kids. Prices are absolutely reasonable, the food is delicious, and there's something for every taste. You definitely can't go wrong here. The ambiance is nothing special; it's just an "everyday" Italian restaurant.
Autumn Gourmet Weeks 2022 booked the 4-course autumn menu for 2 people via Frankfurt city events in the Nihonryori KEN restaurant on October 20th, 2022 and paid for it directly. Full of anticipation and friends for a culinary evening on the way to Sachsenhausen. There are no parking spaces or only on public land on Wallstrasse, so directly into the parking garage.
The 14 day old reservation for 7:30 p.m. on Thursday evening November 3rd, during the week. The restaurant with its 46 seats is not completely full, but certainly well attended. Estimated to be perhaps 2/3 full.
We give our name and present the reservation. After searching for something at reception, the jackets had already been accepted, the lady told us that there was no reservation in our name. There are already some confirmations of Frankfurt city events on display at the reception. The same confirmations we hold in our hands.
First in German, then the conversation continues in English. No problem, but still unusual. After some back and forth, the lady calls a gentleman on his cell phone and has a short discussion in Japanese. The cell phone is passed to me. The other side apologizes by saying that not all reservations were transmitted through Frankfurt city events. Is it true?? Well, it's not my problem either way. I offer voluntarily or ask the gentleman on the phone whether it's 20 or 40 euros more, which I'm happy to pay later. NO, it's not that. It just doesn't work. Why ?? Strange, seats can still be seen, an additional charge was offered. Further discussion and the Lord suggests that I come again another day. Super gracious. Do I get an audience with the emperor or what?? The conversation gets louder and I ask whether the evening with this result should be reflected in an appropriate rating? The cell phone now switches back to the lady from the beginning. A conversation follows, again in Japanese.
The lady goes to the chef and apparently checks whether there is enough food left, perhaps also whether the 4-course menu can be realized. Whatever. At this point the decision has already been made on our part, the feeling is that we are not wanted as welcome guests but rather as supplicants. In a miraculous way, after almost 20 minutes of discussion, it is now possible to offer us a place. We decline and leave the restaurant.
We are no longer in the 80s where some bouncer at a posh discotheque refuses entry with a concerned but determined expression. They are service providers. We did everything on our part to experience the evening as it was intended.
There are thousands of other restaurants in Frankfurt, including a dozen other Japanese restaurants, some in the same price range and also Kaiseki. So why should I beg for an agreed/confirmed/paid service?? At this point to the gentleman on the phone, presumably the managing director. If the sales are not right for events of this type, simply do not take part. If the fault lies with Frankfurt city events, it doesn't matter. As a customer, I am the only one who should be paying attention at this moment. Crisis management a smooth 6-
What's left is almost 2 hours of driving across Frankfurt, pointless discussions, a parking garage and a completely ruined evening. Thank you for NOTHING and definitely never again.
