Kuchi Restaurant Berlin Mitte – A Review of a Berlin Sushi Haven
Berlin is indisputably awash in Asian restaurants, but many of them are simply fast food venues skilled in frying anything imaginable at high temperatures.
Kuchi is different – Kuchi is an established eatery that lands on ‘Top Ten Restaurants in Berlin’ lists. Of course, hype is hype, and food is substance. Here is what happened when Kuchi Mitte was put to the test.
Appearance first. Tastefully and loungefully decorated, Kuchi is aesthetically pleasant if you prefer slightly posher locations.
There are myriad tables but somehow never enough room for all the gourmands attempting to get their fix. Make a reservation or be prepared to wait at peak hours. In any case, you might have to share your table.
Service second. Likely due to the overload of guests, service is friendly but quite slow. Food and drinks might meet with some delay on their way to you. In other words; don’t expect a quick meal at Kuchi.
Delectables third. The menu is extensive. The miso soup is smooth and, well, miso soup, so you can’t go wrong with that as a starter. The King Thai Salad is large and standard, but nothing terrific. Better stick to what Kuchi does best – sushi.
The Crunchy Tuna rolls are popular and don’t disappoint. The sake from the nigiri sushi portion of the menu leaves something to be desired but the california-maki is delicious.
Conclusion: Kuchi serves quality food at decent prices. Does it live up to the hype? Not quite, but it does come, nonetheless recommended.
