SAN

It’s definitely on the expensive side, but I doubt you’ll manage to find better sushi in Berlin. If you’re into raw fish nearly as much as me, it will be worth it. The service was impeccable. The space curated but intimate and cozy. Make sure to make a reservation!

This restaurant is absolutely insane and incredible. The flavours the way it served is exactly like you would expect in Tokyo. I’m very picky when it comes to Japanese food. And first I didn’t want to post about this restaurant…. Because I’m afraid too many people will go there and I won’t be able to get a table anymore. But it’s too good not to share.! I think it’s the best Japanese food I had outside of Japan in my life. The fish melts in your tongue. 👅 the flavors, the wasabi, and also the drinks that were served were all one amazing umami. Please when you visit this restaurant feel every bite with love 🫶

I was disappointed to begin with since the only reservation I could get was 18:30, which was a bit of a rush from work, and the intense moody storm weather. However, SAN could be the best sushi in Berlin. From the customer service, to the impeccable quality of fish - this restaurant is remarkable. Our servers were on point in offering descriptions of the food and possibilities to experiment with it. Our wine glasses were never empty. A rare gem of high quality that deserves my time. I will definitely be back! Thank you SAN 💯

The best in Europe. Everything is worth every penny. Definitely mastered the fermenting technique for the fish. A must-try!

The best sushi I’ve ever had. The fish is incredibly fresh—it feels like it flies straight from the water on a business charter directly to the chef’s knife. The interior is calm, and the atmosphere is pleasant. There’s a great selection of wines and delicious sake. Prices are above average, but you’re guaranteed a gastronomic delight and the chance to enjoy exceptionally fresh and flavorful fish.

Very good food and very friendly staff. I read somewhere that is best sushi in Berlin, that might well be true. Price on the upper end, but not to crazy.

Everything is A ++ !! Outstanding food - Chef uses the freshest fish, nothing in Berlin comes close to the Sushi I had in Japan but this place. Amazing selection of Sake to pair with the meal. Attentive and friendly service. Nice atmosphere/ design. Great value for price. My recommendation: take the eel and also red turtle sake! Only 1% missing for me would be an even better dessert menu (I do very much much like the black sesame ice cream though!)

ATTENTION: THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC JAPANESE RESTAURANT. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TOURIST TRAPS OWNED BY VIETNAMESE, SO DON’T WORRY :) Alright so let’s begin with the food. The quality of the fish is incredible—so fresh, it practically melts in your mouth. Their nigiri and sashimi are beautifully presented, and the flavors are just out of this world (it’s soooo good). Their authentic wasabi and Japanese salt compliment the sushi perfectly. We also tried their chicken karaage, and every bite was a perfect balance of texture and taste (I can tell that they made it fresh, not from the freezer). Furthermore, we had a nice scoop of ice cream as our dessert. The simplicity of the menu really stands out, you’ll get classic Japanese entrees, sashimi + sushi selections as main course, and great selections of sake and beer. Another highlight for us was their service and attention to detail. From the presentation to the serving of the meal, everything was perfectly timed. It’s clear they take a lot of pride in what they serve. When taking an order, they asked us whether we have allergies with certain seafood. And when they served us, they explained each of the fish, where the fish come from, and how to eat them (whether we should eat them with soy sauce or without). The price is quite reasonable for the quality you get, and it feels like you're getting a real sushi experience, not just something to fill your belly. All in all, SAN is the best sushi restaurant in Berlin. I’m afraid it will be difficult for us now to find a better sushi place in Berlin. Pro tip: you need to book a table in advance and don’t put yourself on the waiting list, as you will get a very little chance to be contacted.

Really love this place. It's quaint and unassuming, but a perfect lunch or dinner destination. Lovely staff.
