Ishin

I love the Ishin on Charlottenstraße. It has long been a favourite of mine. Out of moderately priced sushi establishments, it has to be one of the best, not only in Berlin but in the whole of Europe! Oh, how I wish Mr. Ishin would open a branch in London too!!!

Really disappointed with this Ishin location—it’s nothing like the quality at Bundesallee or Friedrichstraße. The negitoro don was especially concerning: instead of fresh tuna belly, it was unfresh, and it honestly made me feel unwell after eating it. The sake maki didn’t look any better—poorly cut, uneven, and messy, as if it had just been torn apart. Never to this branch again

Food is very fresh, delicious and prices are good. However, depending on the time of your visit you might need to wait as there’s just 1 waiter 🥲 if it’s a big group (more than 3people) I’d recommend less busy times

Fantastic whether the food, the quality ,the value for money will have to visit again whenever I'm in Berlin.

Not sure whether a slow day or generally lower energy, but was not really amazed. The interaction with staff was rigid and perhaps only one younger lady was bit more interested in us. We asked for English menu, but it was never followed up. The rest of the time - absolute silence and staff sitting on their phones at the central table. When food came the order was little random. One soup well ahead and the rest just in good time later. Including edamame what i would have expected as starter. Flavors were passable but no thrills. Without soy definitely just bland. Loooots of rice. Bathroom area- low standards and having some washing clothes drying on a rack in public space not too pretty neither. Unfortunately compares as one of worst experiences and won’t return.
