Some of the best sushi I've had. Teriyaki tempura roles were especially delicious.
The inside is a little dated but this doesn't really impact your eating.
The staff are lovely.
Will definitely return next time I'm in Essen.

Unfortunately one of the worst dining experiences we've had. Arrived at 7.40 and received menus pretty quickly. Then about half an hour to take our order including drinks. About half an hour later our drinks arrived. Half an hour after this we ordered more drinks no food had arrived yet. Half an hour later we were brought bread as an apology for the food being delayed. At this point nearly all the tables in our room had paid and left, it was very obvious we had no food. We eventually asked a different waitor who said there had been a mess up and our food was being started. He at this point offered us some cheese and meat which came quickly. The rest of the meal ended up arriving over 2 and a half hours after we arrived and we ate at 20 past 10. The food was not worth the wait.

We at no point were annoyed with the wait staff but felt that other than the cheese and meat there wasn't much done to apologise, like offering to give us our drinks especially as we only ordered the second lot as we'd been waiting for 2 hours.

Would not recommend.
