Sorry but the meat was tough and the second round was all completely cold. It's not fun to eat like that, and then there's the price too. In the picture these are fried mushrooms. Also cold and burnt. All in all pretty poor quality food! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Apart from the food, nothing was good here. The sushi is of course a matter of taste, but it was very tasty. 4/5 The service, however, was a complete disaster. My reservation was simply denied until I showed it to him in his book with my name and number, then I was insulted and sat at a table and waited three quarters of an hour for drinks. Everything costs extra, everything takes a long time, everyone is unfriendly and doesn't want to do their job. No, never again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

The main feature of this restaurant is 'all you can eat' buffet. The restaurant will deliver an ipad to your table. You then place your order of 5 items at a time - with a wait between orders of at least 10 minutes. The order of a sushi roll is not a full roll, rather it is served in only 2 slices of a roll. because of this way of serving, I cannot tell how 'fresh' and made to order each roll is. The food is decent, but not outstanding as far as sushi goes. The rolls are filled with much more 'rice' as filler than you would 'normally' see in a sushi roll (but then again, this is all you can eat, so they can't give away so much for a single price. In addition to rolls,, there are sashimi, soups, appetizers, cooked items (such as grilled calamari, grilled mussels, spring roll (this was a disappointment), etc. There is also a dessert selection included The price for the all you can eat option is $20 Euros. you also order your drinks (they have soft drinks, bottled water, juice, tea, beer) on the ipad. I think the 'thrill' of this restaurant is the 'concept' but I do not think the quality of the food is really there. The servers try very hard, but it is a lot of work to keep up with the delivery of food to all the tables. If you are looking for really good quality sushi rolls, skip this restaurant. If on the other hand you are fine with average food, but a fun dining experience, check it out. Beware for folks who do not speak German, the staff has very limited English and the menu is not translated into English either (however, each food item has a picture on the ipad showing what the food is, so it helps).

I tried the all-can-eat option with my friends. The rules for it may appear a little cumbersome, but in the end they can be summarized as follows:1) Each person may order up to 5 items at a time.2) A 10-minutes time must pass between one order and the following one3) Drinks are not includedOnce you understand this, you can enjoy the find Japanese food offered by Ichido. The service is very fast, and the food tastes fresh. The "hot plates" section could be richer, but anyway Ichido offers anyhing that a Japanese restaurant should normally provide. Among the best dishes, the "tuna sushi sandwich" is really worth a shot!I will definitely eat again at Ichido!
