SAN

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 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.

The food is amazing. Very fresh fish from Japan and Spain. Sake was great, the prices are ok and the service could improve they were a bit pushy at the end to make us pay. After spending 250€ bill that's a bit rude and we didn't find it ok.

I had been looking forward to trying this sushi restaurant for a while, and finally made it! The quality of the sushi is excellent—the fish is incredibly fresh, and the selection feels carefully curated. They also have a nice variety of sake to pair with the meal. However, my evening took a disappointing turn when we were denied the chance to order ice cream at 9:45 PM. The server explained that the kitchen was already closed, which was both surprising and frustrating. First of all, the restaurant’s listed closing time is 11 PM on both Google and their website. Despite this, the staff essentially told us they were closing at 10 PM. Adding to the confusion, when I made my reservation, it was clearly stated that the table was valid for two hours. Since I booked at 8:30 PM, this should have meant I had until 10:30 PM to enjoy my meal—not to be rushed out at 9:45. This inconsistency is misleading and unacceptable. What’s more, I’ve been to countless restaurants, and even when the kitchen closes, it’s always possible to order something simple like ice cream. It’s not a dish that requires any preparation—just a scoop in a bowl. To make matters worse, for a €200 bill, guests should not feel rushed or cut short on time. This policy completely killed the vibe of what could have been an amazing evening. I’d strongly recommend updating your closing times online to reflect the actual hours, honoring the two-hour reservation policy, and rethinking how you handle late orders. It’s such a shame because the food was fantastic, but this experience left a very bad impression. I give two stars because food was outstanding.

It's the most authentic and delicious sushi in Berlin, each sushi is seasoned with precision, fatty tuna, sweet scallop meat, the shiso leaves under the fish go so well together. sashimi is fantastic very fresh and the wasabi is freshly ground Drink selection is okey

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