    I am loathe to leave a positive review because I love this place and it's hard to get a seat. But, they deserve the praise. The cocktails are excellent and the food is always delish.

    The food is amazing, the service as well. Marta was super nice and friendly. It was such a great experience that I went twice during my 3 day trip. Best sushi in AMS. I will come back again.

    Not as good as I was used to, I decided to visit Ku kitchen since I haven’t for a couple of years. It was a bit disappointing, especially the service. The table arrangment inside the restaurant is very impractical and too close/narrow with neighbouring tables. The music isnide is a bit generic. Staff isn’t accomodating when you ask for a different table and doesn’t offer to take your coats. Summarized: mediocre

    Our new favourite restaurant in Amsterdam, great service and the best sushi we've had anywhere in the world. If I could have stayed longer I would have ordered another portion of the Aburi Sweet Miso Salmon. We will be back for sure.

    A great little sushi place with other choices as well. We thought the California rolls were unique with a fried exterior, the sashimi & other maki was also fresh & delicious. Great service & a fun, lively atmosphere. I recommend for a delicious meal.

    Food and cocktails were great. The table was too near the kitchen, almost inside, and that might me the only thing I’d change. But everything else was really good.

    My daughter’s 21st birthday, I let the restaurant know but didn’t get a nice table, service was average and nothing at all to acknowledge the big occasion even though it was a Tuesday night so not rushed off their feet. Food was really good but not the place to go for anything above and beyond unfortunately in terms of service

    We got early and got the table 20 min earlier then the reservation. The food is good and a bit pricey. A bit to full and took time for the food to come out, a bit to much time.

    The sushi was for 2, but most of the pieces were just one unit each. So it's not possible to try all pieces (nigiris, just one oyster e.g). The cooked salmon is really dry, the sauce os really good though. The home made ice tea was also good. The ambience is casual, not fancy. You can smell grilled and fried from the kitchen. Service was good.
