"Amatsu is perhaps the best Japanese eatery in Ghent. Authentic Japanese fare in a characteristic low-key interior. The teriyaki salmon with a subtle soy and sesame sauce unveils and highlights the chef’s skill and talent and for a close-up view of his high-flying dexterity, opt for a table in the first room to see him crafting sushis with less well-known fish. Fine selection of sakés. The lush green patio is heaven for alfresco dining." - Michelin Inspector

I tasted the chef's special, 16 pieces of sushi & nigiri and Vegetable & shrimp tempura. It was a nice experience accompanied by hot sake. Maybe I would have been more satisfied if there was no surumi in the Sushi set. It's worth the price you pay.

Staff were super nice and the food was extremely delicious. Highly recommend picking any of the menus. The vegetarian one was great!

They awet the mood from the door. The place is great for intimate meetings and also groups. They take your coat, which is nice as their chairs are quite low and a trench coat would be touching the floor. The service is just right for freshly, handmade food. It’s definitely worth the price point. They also take the time to explain the dishes and the staff are so professional. TLDR: nice ambience, pricey but worth it, impeccable service.

Great place, great food. For a first time visit, definitely go for the full menu with sake. You won't be disappointed. The second time, dig deeper into their choice of sushi and try more specialised sake. Nice and cosy terrace, weather permitting

The sushi was quite nice and fresh. The sake we had was amazing. However the curry was a total disappointment. Overall we felt it was way too expensive.

Highly recommendable, probably the best place for Japanese in Ghent. Sashimi fresh and tasty, as one would expect from a Michelin-listed palce. Do not miss the really tasty duck and chicken teriyaki. Truly friendly service is what sets this place apart; we had a very pleasant chat with Kwong.

We found this place by walking the city, and were told to stay away from the chains. The menu looked solid, so we went in. The setting is nice, minimal and modern, but definitely with a Japanese flair. The service is fine, the sushi bar looks fine, everything is accessible. The first thing we noticed (as frequent travelers to Japan) was that they did a proper table setting and later, the starters that came with our dinner were also what we are used to getting in Japan. This is nice, considering most places don't put so much thought into it, or even bother. The sushi was perfect, as was the chicken teriyaki. I am only giving this restaurant a 3-star rating for three reasons: 1- it was overpriced. 2- the menu was underwhelming. When I say this, I mean that it was VERY traditional and had no imagination. Most of the options were prixe fixe, and although there were many to choose from, there was not a lot of room for personalization. 3- an addition to 2- customers can NOT order sashimi a la carte. I trust NO sushi restaurant the first time around, and was not about to leave my chirashi or sashimi choices to chance. This place is definitely a good one, albeit a bit on the expensive side for what normally costs FAR less in actual Japan. If you just want really great fish and not too many frills, definitely go here. But if you want crazy rolls and Tekkadon, best check the other options.
