At Olivaer Platz in Charlottenburg, mr hai Kabuki shows what sushi in Berlin can look like when craftsmanship meets true passion. The Kaiten Sushi Bar of Vietnamese-born pioneer Van Hai Tran has been one of the city's most reliable addresses for high-quality Japanese food for over 25 years.
mr hai Kabuki: Sushi Pioneer at Olivaer Platz
Anyone looking for a sushi restaurant in Berlin that offers more than the usual standard will sooner or later end up here. Owner Van Hai Tran has been shaping Berlin’s gastronomy for over 25 years. The native Vietnamese is considered a true pioneer of upscale Asian cuisine in the capital. Since 2000, mr hai at Olivaer Platz has been a firm sushi hotspot in the city. The Kabuki is a picture-perfect sushi bar: with minimalist design in radiant white and a large sushi carousel where you can sit on bar stools and watch the chefs prepare the fresh specialties. So, if you not only want to eat sushi but also experience it, this is the right place. In addition, the restaurant offers exclusive workshops, so interested parties can even learn the art of preparation themselves.
Creative Sushi Cuisine with a Distinctive Signature
The menu at mr hai Kabuki goes far beyond the ordinary. The repertoire ranges from refined rolls with caviar and mayonnaise to delicate combinations with cream cheese. In addition to sushi classics and set menus, at Kabuki you can also try unusual creations such as sashimi in a yakitori lime sauce. For those who prefer to stick to the familiar: lovers of classic nigiri will also get their money’s worth, and the generously sliced, exceptionally fresh sashimi pieces are also convincing. The specialty Tataki is also available here, for example, as Wagyu beef briefly seared on the teppanyaki grill with fresh vegetables and spicy truffle sauce. If you can’t decide, simply choose the all-you-can-eat sushi at a fixed price. To finish, the homemade Matcha Tiramisu is recommended. The drink menu also offers expanded horizons: excellent sake-based cocktails stylishly round off the evening.
