Yoshi by Nagaya

Amazing experience! From appetizer to dessert, everything was thoughtfully created and you can really notice the quality of the ingredients and herbs. Service was great, in total there were two colleagues waiting the tables, one was even doubling as sommelier 😊 drink recommendations were fantastic as well and not to mention Chef Nagaya was there to personally prepare the sushi. From taste to experience, everything was as what you would’ve expected from a Michelin star restaurant.

Amazing Japanese restaurant. Outstanding fish quality (one of the best tunas I ever had), creative presentation and well balanced taste. Very good sake selection and wine menu. Perfect service with detailed explanation of every course. Definitely worth the price and one of the best Japanese restaurants in Germany.

A true dining experience on its own and an amazing dive on Japanese cuisine. More than the food (which was excellent), I particularly appreciated the open sushi kitchen. Admiring the chefs while they prepared each dish felt like watching a well choreographed show, with open but slow movements. Each piece felt like a piece of art. I had the short menu (5 dishes) and everything was delicious. Some of the best sushi I ever had. Balanced flavours. Amazing technique. Beautiful crafted presentation. My only 2 critics would go to the steak seasoning (sauce was delicious but not enough to compensate for the complete lack of salt) and the sake macaroon served in the end as a petit four. Taste on point, texture not really. Lacking the crunchiness and the airness of a good one. Maybe it was stored in a fridge and humidity destroyed it? I would probably not comment on that, but they presented it as a specialty, so big expectations were created and not matched. Unsurprisingly service was impeccable. Yoshi is definitely a landmark on Düsseldorf's culinary scene and a must try if you are a foodie.

One of the best Japanese restaurants in Düsseldorf. The food is amazing and the wine is great. For sure, the price is also relatively high.

Exceptional dining experience. The long restaurant is simple yet elegant with an open kitchen in the back of the restaurant where you can see the food being delicately prepared (you can even sit on the bar to observe). We did the tasting menu which was excellent - each dish was carefully prepared and made with great care and pride. Everything tasted wonderful! It was a journey for the taste buds which I would highly recommend to those which are indecisive as the variety was quite good.

Amazing Japanese restaurant. The 5 course menu has good portion with a variety of food choices and so tasty & beautiful. Make sure to make the reservation a head of time!

The food was great. Maybe the yuzu flavor was a bit too repetitive. However, the biggest let down was the service. Took a long time to be served. Got through the first 2 dishes before we were even served water. For a smalll resto, it was quite chaotic and you can see the servers frantically running around. This was unacceptable for a starred resto. I recommend just booking Nagaya where both service and food are what you can expect from a 1 star resto.

My review applies to both Nagaya and the sister restaurant Yoshi. This is the best Japanese food you can get in Germany, hands down. Absolute top notch quality, whatever you order. Amazing gourmet courses with world class Japanese dishes, also top notch sushi. Yoshi is more authentic Japanese, Nagaya has a little bit of French crossover to it. Been here over 10 times and have never ever been disappointed. Excellent service as well.
