Tanuki is a great place to go for some Japanese food. The delivery was fast and the waiters were polite. The price is appropriate for what you get. We visited during the Coronavirus restrictions, so the restaurant stops orders at 4:15pm

The food is decent! Miso soup tasted great. The Japanese curry is good too. Sushi is okay, but fresh.Recommendations:- The miso soup is tremendous❤- The mixed sashimi dishes are decent and sliced quite thick

Special menu A and BMy mum visited this restaurant about a year ago and really enjoyed it. With her recommendation in mind, I had high expectations when we decided to dine there for dinner and try the special menu. The special menu started with miso soup, which I found to be okay and quite flavourful. However, the octopus and duck breast slices were mediocre, and I didn’t care for the taste of the radish underneath. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired, as we had to wait 15 minutes for each dish to arrive. While the salmon and tuna sashimi were decent, the shrimp was not fresh and lacked flavour. I also noticed an abundance of fried items on the menu, which may have been overlooked because we didn’t thoroughly review the menu. The tsukune, or chicken meatball skewers, were also disappointing, with a plastic-like taste. Based on the quality of the food, I genuinely believe that this place is overpriced. In conclusion, I was greatly disappointed, as the food did not meet my expectations of what Japanese cuisine should taste like.Avg. spending ~ €45-50 (p.p.)

Come here rather often because of it’s location. The food is quite average, sushi is quite ok, but found all their noodles are way too salty. Not really friendly staffs, but not much of a service anyway.

The unagi bowl and tuna sashimi bowl were not dissappointing and pleasant to the eyes. Loved the fact they added tamago/eggs to the unagi bowl, making it extra delicious. Really enjoyed their unagi dish, definitely the best unagi I have tasted so far in the Netherlands.Wanted to try their sliced beef since it looks so good in the picture, but when it came, it looked totally different. Cuts were too big and the meat was very tough to chew. Not sure whether it was bad quality or overcooked? But it was lacking beef taste, so a disappointing dish.The grilled fish was ok, but not delicious or worthy enough to order next time. The sushis were expensive, but it was nice to have lots of options. They also have lunch deals with sushis, which are nice to try so do recommend to try their lunch menu.The fried vegetables looks and tasted like a Chinese dish, but none the less it was tasty with the bamboo shoots. The soup noodles tasted good, but the toppings were fried and too oily so making it delicious. Didn’t expect the gyoza dumplings to be fried as well. The chicken skewers were ok.Service can be slow sometimes depending on who. Some of them are friendly, but some of them are not, so see if you are lucky who will serve you.

I am a huge Japanese foodie. So, you bet I know how and what should taste like. When I read the negatives reviews, I was sceptical. But they were correct…. Squid in takoyaki was raw, it was non chewable, like a plastic.The rice with gyudon (ribeye in a bowl) tasted like butter. My sister ordered udon with eel, the taste of fish was not fresh, like from aquariumThe worst experience ever. I am not sure if I can look at squids sometime soon.

The servers were really friendly and genuinely keen to help, so that’s great and made the dining experience very pleasant. Food-wise, some hits, some misses. The raw scallop salad with miso sauce - scallop was fresh but the miso sauce was way too ‘heavy’/ overpowering, which was uncalled for given how delicate the scallop’s taste was. The wagyu beef - I doubt it was really wagyu grade - chewy & tasted not too bad, but not melt-in-mouth tender as you would expect wagyu beef to be, & the oil used to pan fry it didn’t taste fresh, which was unfortunate. The rest of the dishes were not bad - aburi (meaning torched for a slightly burnt taste on the outside) scallop & salmon sushi were nice. Tuna not so much. The skewed grilled pork belly & chicken thigh with scallion were both juicy & well-flavoured. They made a little mistake with the green tea I ordered - it came with a lemon taste at first, & when I mentioned that to the wait staff, they seemed to know exactly what happened (something about using lemon to clean something.. didn’t quite catch the explanation), they immediately changed it for me & in the final bill, waived the charges. Overall quite a pleasant experience. I’m a tourist, so wouldn’t be a repeat customer, but would otherwise come back to try their sashimi, which I believe should be good.

Good restaurant offering a wide selection of Japanese dishes, including sushi. The service is friendly and the facilities are tidy. All in all, it is a good option for lunch or dinner, alone or with the family or friends.Lunch offers the menu option at an attractive price.
