Japanese Restaurant Kaneko

Easily the most overrated restaurant in all of Amsterdam—came here for a special evening with my wife. We ordered a mushroom dish that was so terrible that we sent it back. An eel dish that was chewy—not melt in your mouth tasty as well should be. The sushi was forgettable. Service was great tho—but when I compare this to other high quality Japanese restaurants I’ve been to, Izakaya is easily the worst.

Very good food. Good sushi selection. The fatty tuna was to die for. Fruity cocktail.what else can a girl ask for.

Aw man, surprisingly delicious. And not just that, staff super friendly and extra shoutout to the bartenders as they are really cool, attentive and knowledgeable about what the choose food wise and drink wise. One note, guys it’s ok to offer tap water it will not cannibalize your sale of spirits. We didn’t even get to the main courses, it was all about the bites. Ok, so let me give you some tips, you will not be disappointed. Ask for: scallops with truffle, crispy rice with tuna, temaki with crispy duck, and gyoza with wagyu and foie gras. Man, you’re in heaven with this. Like a good white wine? Excellent go for the Verdejo, that is if you’re after a white wine with some oomph. Not cheap, but damn good.

Amazing 7 course dinner - my boyfriend was celebrating his birthday, they made a special dessert for him and gave us 2 espresso martinis. I would recommend this restaurant if you love sushi

Very nice vibe at the resto.. service was top class.. the food was prepared with loads of delicacy.. a must visit in Amsterdam.

Great athmosohere and music. Good food. Service is worth recommendation. The desserts were exceptional! Prices are high.

Hi end food for the foodies! Delicious in every aspect, service, taste and presentation! Highly recommended!!

Amazing food and drinks... Wow! I recommend it a lot! 😏

Super expensive but the food and cocktails were amazing. A beautiful bar. Attentive service. Must order backed oyster!

Great decor, bustling vibe, beautiful waitresses. The food is Japanese fusion and it's quite good. The salad with prawn, miso, parmesan and truffle was very good, but I thought other dishes were ordinary (the aburi salmon nigiri) but others were kinda pointless imo (sweetcorn in tempura). Would say that putting truffle oil on stuff doesn't make every dish superawesome - it just overpowers.

Great service, top food

Decend cocktail, but very rude hostess. I do expect little bit more service. If i ask a simple question for the bill, i just got short answer ask my other colleague.

Ambiance is ok but food quality compared to the price is not worth it. You can definitely get better food for the same (or below) price. Food presentation is basic AF. 250€ for nothing.

What a disappointment! We're used to fine sushis restaurants (NYC-London-Paris) either "classical" or "fusion". Izakaya's food is good but just slightly above the average sushis bar. The problem is the price (my son's menu: €99) and the "service": we had to ask twice to get our table cleaned and our yelling waitress was awkward if not brutal. This restaurant is a trap for cheesy clients believing they're global. Forget it.

Excellent food great mix of asia meets europe
