| Reviews: | "Kaiten-sushi.
Relatively expensive.
Tuomas A. Sirén (tuomas.siren@iki.fi )[Sep17th 2001]
-----------------------------------------------------
Price is unbelievably expensive though the taste of each sushi is not exactly
sushi. I should call it sushi-like. It is better for them to replace the chef as she is not
appropriate and has no skill to prepare sushi.
[December 7th 2001]" |
| | "I've been to most sushi places in Helsinki
and while overpriced and not all *that* great,
Eatz is still the best of the bunch. There are (at least?) two chefs, who unlike most sushi places
in Helsinki at least know how to maintain quality: no wasabi bombs or inedible fish chunks to wreck
your meal. Eatz has the largest selection in Helsinki, the fish is reasonably fresh and, despite
the conveyor belt, you can order what you want directly from the chefs as well. All in all,
definitely a step in the right direction.

| | "Expensive compared to what you get. I haven't been impressed with their quality: some inedible fish chunks and so-so taste overall. Sushi bar is a plus." |
| | - Hannele (hannele@clay.fi) [April 4th 2003] |
| | "How can you call this a sushi place. The service = 0, due the conveyer belt. The choice of sushis is very limited. The service people do not know anything about sushis, if you ask for something which is not on the menu. All in all disappointing. Please avoid this place for sushi, just go there to have a drink in a good atmosphere." |

| | "Hi, agree, not really sushi, fish is mostly fresh, rice is strange, it is better than no sushi, service is not high quality, chefs dont know really sushi.

Best maki platters & price value in town. Take-away.

the worst sushi I've ever eaten, some of fish pieces were outright rotten. Eating the
squid was like chewing rubber and even the
rice was not sushi rice. The chef has no clue what he is doing. Avoid.

Nice and clean small place. Sushi were very good at reasonable price.
Service wasn't so rood as Petrus says, though I haven't noticed high-level
personel's behavior - just normal. But this place is not a complete restaurant - this is small sushi bar, I think they don't pretend on high-level service.I would recommend to visit Ichiban if you want good sushi at reasonable price!

I have to say, I was truly taken off guard by this place. It has a limited selection -- for instance, they would not do an unagi hand-roll -- and is tucked away in a dingy central shopping mall. But the sushi was fantastic, possibly the best that I have had. The freshness was remarkable, fish that simply melts in your mouth! I had the Special Set, with a side order of unagi (since they didn't have the hand roll), and every single morsel of the great variety in that set was perfectly put together, with a superior piece of fish. Do not miss this place, if you are in Helsinki!

Good location, good selection of beer & sake.

| | "After beeing a customer at Kabuki since it opened (must be some 14 years now...) it
always strikes me how highclassed this restaurant is. Aki the owner and cook is still going strong.
Remember too reserve a table because the place is always fully booked. Try Akis Ebi Furai and
Yakiniku too. You won´t be disappointed!! Promise!

| | "We went there for lunch, March 2002, and weren't very impressed. The fish was okay but the sushi (rice) wasn't good. It could just be because of the lunch rush, it seemed they were making a lot of certain kinds they anticipated people would order. But that's just a guess.

| | "Asked for a 12 pc set with saba and tamago replaced with anything else. Waitress said that only one substitution is possible. I told they did this request every time before, waitress said ok. I ordered some other stuff in addition (total lunch order for me 25€) and was going to sit down. Waitress comes back and says what do I substitute, only one substitution possible. I told her I thought we discussed this already, she said no.
Was not the first time they were rude, so will never go again. The sushi itself is medium level (not any better) but it's amazing to find such attitude for serving it. Some of the staff are half-Japanese but they certainly lack any resemblance to Japanese customer service - actually the Finnish staff is much more service oriented.
Best sushi places in Helsinki remain Kabuki, Gyosai and Raku-ya.

| | "Visited here some time ago and will never go again. The maguro even smelled a bit bad and after I told that this is not fresh and I will not eat it, something quite strange happened. The owner or who ever is in charge rushed from behind the counter next to my table and started asking me explanations and claiming that the food is ok. I didn't eat even half of what I ordered since it was spoiled yet I got no discount whatsoever. I have never seen such service. I recommend staying away from this place.
