Went there on positive feedbacks from friends and non-yelper! Was utterly disappointed. Doesn’t want to take away the traditional Japanese style cooking! Perhaps it’s well suited to Japanese people but not for the general population who expect something from a Japanese restaurant. No sushi no tepanyaki style cooking! Was very average and utterly disappointing for a sushi lover. Had to comeback without dinner :( Overly priced! Sake is just 16 euros which should be 3.50 realistically. Waitress’s don’t speak any English nor Dutch so hard to explain what you want or what’s their fav dish. Menu is in Japanese with bad English translations. What the heck is «tasted beef»??? Very expensive for a Japanese place. Hmm not again.

Nice place, almost like a Japanese neighbourhood living room, complete with magazines and other things to read. I ordered the tonkotsu shoyu ramen, which was quite good. The broth was nice and tasty, but I liked the noodles slightly less than those at, for example, Ramen-Ya. There was also less meat in my bowl than I expected. Nevertheless: a nice lunch.

Ishii is a family-friendly restaurant that serves home-cooked Japanese food. It is located in a very Japanese dominated shopping center, so you can get your hair cut, do groceries and have dinner here! They close between lunch and dinner(closed from 14:00 — 18:00), and after multiple attempts I finally made it here when they were open. A variety of familiar dishes are served and everything is made with love and care. I saw a number of Japanese families come here for dinner. We had the tonkotsu ramen and the Kyoto shoyu ramen with gyoza. Both ramens were tasty and flavored well. In the tonkotsu ramen you could see the globs of delicious fat that are signature of true pork bone soup and it was rich in flavor. The Kyoto ramen is a lighter soup with thinner noodles and super tasty. The gyozas were perfectly made and cooked. Sadly, they were vegetable only but so delicious. Overall, solidly good food that I would love to have every day. Food: 5⁄5 Delicious home-cooked Japanese food. Atmosphere: 4⁄5 It has an open kitchen so it feels like sitting in someone’s dining room. There are bookcases filled with Japanese books all around. Service: 4⁄5 Servers were polite and friendly. Value: 3⁄5 Ramen was around ~12 euros, so prices were average.
