893 Ryōtei

You might do a double-take when you reach 893 Ryōtei. Yes, that graffiti-splattered, seemingly abandoned storefront with tinted glass is where you’ll be eating gorgeous, modern Japanese food.

It’s got a gritty cool factor that’s characteristically Berlin, and while you can certainly focus on the sushi and sashimi, try the dishes with influences outside of Japan, like the lomo and sashimi taquitos. Wear the most fashion-y thing you brought and you’ll blend right in—this is a trendy, high-end spot for celebrating a special occasion with a small group, but it’s also fun to sit at the counter solo or with a date and watch the chefs slice, plate, and garnish thick cuts of fish.
