(Translated by Google) It's very difficult to destroy Japanese food that I like very much, including fusion, but that's how it is when you try to be too clever like at the Dinings restaurant in the Norman hotel in Tel Aviv, so the result is devastating. They even managed to destroy the espresso, if you feel like getting your fingers dirty, then the cup is decorated with salt and cardamom thrown on the outside of the cup, so that the humidity outside is not enough, so the cup is also sticky, and the taste with rosetta, you get three drinks in one cup, coffee with cardamom, tequila and rosetta...! The menu is in English and when my sister asked what it was: gem lettuce, the waitress hesitated to answer so I simply answered instead: lettuce. She was shocked that I define the gem lettuce as lettuce, as our favorite lettuce.. they managed to destroy that too, it arrived burnt and wet.. what happened to less is more..? The truth is, they pretty much embrace this philosophy, There is a nigiri with a poor little color band for NIS 18. Here I blame us, why give a platform to a chef who wouldn't eat something like this in his own home?! The two sushi rolls are probably so special that we waited a long time, two hours to be exact. A vegetarian one for me. Then something happened that has never happened to me, I returned the The sushi because enough is enough, there are things that even our good vibe and the beautiful view won't help. As with the espresso, all the flavors were in a poor little roll: sour, salty, sweet and even spicy!!!! My daughter couldn't hold back and tried to eat the sushi with the tempura shrimp that came with brown and crumbly rice.. In the end she gave up and ate the shrimp from the sushi and paid for it with an upset stomach. This is not a review for the sake of the review. For a week I tried to reach someone to talk to, but no one bothered to get back to me, this is my first time writing on Trip Adviser And not the first time I eat at Dinings But definitely the last one!!! I woke up in the morning with a feeling of what it was last night..? I was robbed? And by the way we got the attention of the waitress (Not the one with the lettuce..) that she forgot to add the service, and we added it, and really, except that I returned the sushi, they didn't feel what we were going through.. (Original) קשה מאוד להרוס אוכל יפני שאהוב עליי מאוד, גם פיוז׳ן, אבל ככה זה כשמנסים להתחכם יותר מידי כמו במסעדת Dinings במלון נורמן התל אביבי, אז התוצאה הרסנית. אפילו את האספרסו הם הצליחו להרוס, אם בא לכם ללכלך את האצבעות אז הכוס מעוטרת במלח והל שזרקו על הכוס מבחוץ, כך שלא מספיקה הלחות בחוץ אז גם הכוס דביקה, והטעם עם רוזטה, מקבלים שלוש משקאות בכוס אחת, קפה עם הל, טקילה ורוזטה..! התפריט באנגלית וכשאחותי שאלה מה זה : gem lettuce, המלצרית התמהמה בתשובה אז עניתי במקומה בפשטות: חסה. היא הזדעזעה שאני מגדירה את ה-gem lettuce כחסה , כחסה האהובה עלינו.. גם את זה הם הצליחו להרוס, הגיעה צרובה ורטובה.. מה קרה עם less is more..? האמת היא שהם דיי מאמצים את הפילוסופיה הזו, יש נגירי עם רצועת קולורבי קטנה ומסכנה ב-18 שקל. פה אני מאשימה אותנו , למה לתת במה לשף שלא היה אוכל דבר כזה בבית שלו?! שני הרולים של הסושי כנראה כ״כ מיוחדים שחיכינו הרבה זמן, שעתיים למען הדיוק. אחד צמחוני בשבילי שפה קרה משהו שאף פעם לא קרה לי, החזרתי את הסושי כי enough is enough, יש דברים שגם הוויב הטוב שלנו והנוף היפה לא יעזרו. כמו עם האספרסו כל הטעמים היו בתוך רול קטן ומסכן: חמוץ, מלוח מתוק ואפילו חריף!!!! הבת שלי לא התאפקה וניסתה לאכול את הסושי עם השרימפס טמפורה שהגיע עם אורז חום ומתפורר.. בסוף התייאשה ושלתה את השרימפס מהסושי ושילמה על כך בקילקול קיבה. זו לא ביקורת למען הביקורת במשך שבוע ניסיתי להגיע למישהו לדבר איתו, אבל אף אחד לא טרח לחזור אליי, לי זו הפעם הראשונה שאני כותבת ב-Trip adviser ולא הפעם הראשונה שאני אוכלת ב- Dinings אבל בהחלט האחרונה !!! קמתי בבוקר עם תחושה של מה זה היה אתמול בלילה..? נשדדתי? ודרך אגב הערנו את תשומת ליבה של המלצרית ( לא אותה אחת עם החסה..) שהיא שכחה להוסיף את השירות, והוספנו, ובאמת שלמעט שהחזרתי את הסושי הם לא הרגישו במה שעובר עלינו..

(Translated by Google) The most delicious sushi I've eaten in Israel, definitely Amazing service, pleasant atmosphere Simply a pleasure to be there (Original) הסושי הכי טעים שאכלתי בארץ חד משמעית שירות מדהים אווירה נעימה פשוט תענוג להיות שם

(Translated by Google) First time we were in a restaurant. The waiter was in my opinion one who understands interest And I simply allowed myself to give him the permission and order 5 dishes for us. The white wine he chose for us was perfect. The dishes are served meticulously, Everything is aesthetic, clean, feels foreign. The menu is written only in English. We ordered another dish of excellent sushi. The person in charge of the ration bar, a top professional! Dessert: sesame brulee. Perfect place and we will come back again. Thank you ❤️ (Original) פעם ראשונה שהיינו במסעדה. המלצר היה בעיני אחד שמבין עניין ופשוט הרשתי לעצמי להעביר לו את הרשות ולהזמין עבורנו 5 מנות. היין הלבן שבחר עבורנו היה מושלם. המנות מוגשות באופן מוקפד, הכל אסתטי, נקי, מרגיש חו"ל. התפריט כתוב רק באנגלית. הזמנו עוד מנה של סושי מצוינת. האחראי על הפס מנות, מקצוען ברמות! קינוח: ברולה שומשום. מקום מושלם ונחזור שוב. תודה ❤️

(Translated by Google) It was amazing. I came with friends to the restaurant and we received dishes that were made delicious and made with care, sushi at a level that is not found in Israel. The service was excellent, the waiters were professional and kind. And add to all this the sitting on the roof of the restaurant with a stunning view and classy design, it's an experience! (Original) היה מדהים הגעתי עם חברים למסעדה וקיבלנו מנות שנעשו טעימות שנעשו בקפידה, סושי ברמה שאין בארץ. השירות היה מעולה המלצרים מקצועיים ואדיבים. ונוסיף לכל זה את הישיבה בגג המסעדה עם נוף מהמם ועיצוב ברמה, מדובר בחוויה!

(Translated by Google) Everything is accurate - the atmosphere, the view, the service, the design and of course the food. Suitable for people who like real Japanese food. Not cheap - but they have no competition here, an unforgettable meal. (Original) הכל מדויק- האווירה, הנוף, השירות, העיצוב וכמובן האוכל. מתאים לאנשים שאוהבים אוכל יפני אמיתי. לא זול- אבל אין להם תחרות פה, ארוחה בלתי נשכחת.

(Translated by Google) Processed food and not tasty. Dish level of a simple delivery restaurant. Too bad the restaurant has changed! (Original) אוכל טפל ולא טעים. רמת מנות של מסעדת משלוחים פשוטה. חבל מאוד שהמסעדה השתנתה!

The service was impeccable. All the courses arrived at the same time, and we didn’t have to ask for more water—Maya, our waitress, noticed the empty jug and brought a new one immediately. The food was very good; the only problem was that we wanted to order more courses but were already full. Highly recommended!

Very good restaurant Prices are very affordable for Tel Aviv. I was pleasantly surprised Food is good quality, to me the very best dish was the coconut curry noodles (which is not too spicy, I promise) Service was a tad slow and we had to ask for water many times before actually getting some to our table, but the food is worth the waiting and the staff is very nice. I don’t come to Tel Aviv very often, but when I do I'll probably pay a visit again :)

Nini Hachi has been on my list of restaurants to try for a long time, after seeing good reviews. Finally we made it there and so glad we did. Our friendly waitress Talya greeted us with a smile and provided great service throughout the meal. The food was fresh, delicious and a wonderful combination of flavors. Definitely worth a visit, we highly recommend this restaurant

We had an amazing time and everything was delicious! Talya, our waitress, was super helpful and sweet! Highly recommend getting the cold teas they're a great addition to the meal, and the dessert was a perfect ending. You should order a table in advance if you can :)

I had a lovely time tonight. The wine was pouring. The sushi was fresh. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before. And also our server Talia was phenomenal. She really attended to all of our needs. Highly recommend anyone looking for a kosher sushi restaurant in Tel Aviv.

Very Nice restaurant, one of the best Kosher place in Tel Aviv. The food is very generous, original, fresh and tasty, the service was amazing. Special Thanks to Talya who was Kind and helpful . Will definitly come back often

The food was excellent. The gyoza had a softness to them that I haven’t experienced before. The Goose Ramen was absolutely delicious although it is on the saltier side if you are sensitive. The Japanese pickles were 👌🏼 The vibes were immaculate. Definitely come here.

Overall great experience! The food was amazing (except the tuna sashimi). We sat at the bar and Jay was our Barman and he was amazing! It was my girlfriends birthday and he lit a candle and put it in a dessert that he brought her. He was explaining each cocktail and recommended the best dishes! If you sit at bar talk to Jay he is the best! All in all great experience!

Date night. Booking is recommended. Everything is great. Food is fresh and very tasty. Our waitress (at the bar) was a delight. Music is great and not too loud. Had a very good time overall! Will be back.

A friend recommended TYO, praising its service and atmosphere, and she was spot-on. We ordered some unique dishes that caught our eye based on the ingredients, including the tuna pizza and crunchy tuna rolls, both of which were excellent. Our server took great care of us and ensured the flow of our dinner was smooth. She even offered us shots of our choice, a nice touch to our bar experience. Overall, I would recommend TYO for dinner based on its great atmosphere and food options. However, it's important to note that the menu is quite expensive, so it's advisable to choose wisely or be prepared for premium prices.

If you like high-end Japanese food then this place is for you. Everything we ordered was delicious! The waitress was very nice, patient and knowledgeable about the dishes and gave us great recommendations. Will definitely return. Update: we did return and I can definitely say that the quality was not the same. We ordered some of the amazing dishes we ordered the first time and they were quite disappointing.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tel Aviv, the place has such a fun vibe and is by far the BEST quality sushi restaurant in Israel!! The fish is always so fresh, all the starters & rolls are incredible, and the dessert is just divine! The staff/service is just as wonderful as the food (a rare find in Israel)

Just wow Nothing else needed to say Everything we ordered was perfect, probably the best place for sushi and Asian food in Israel the service was great and the atmosphere was amazing as well The only non positive thing I have to say is that the desserts were good but nothing more than that still was good but had better.

General atmosphere was OK. We ordered only first courses, many of them. I love raw fish food and I enjoyed most of the dishes, except the only sushi plate that we ordered (I returned it, never happened to me in the past) It wasn't that dissapointed, but we expected something WOW.

Yakimono Restaurant on Rothschild Street. This week I read that the old restaurant is closing its doors after 21 years of operation. The truth is I was not sad at all. In October 2021 my beloved partner and I decided we really wanted an Asian meal for dinner. Since the Covid-19 epidemic disrupted our lives, I found a place in the restaurant after several failed attempts at other restaurants. This was the first time we dined at this restaurant. At first we were very impressed with the elegant space and the cordial service we received from the waiter. The dishes were delicious but not beyond, nothing was out of the ordinary. This positive impression was replaced by astonishment when we received the bill for payment. The amount was outrageous and without any justification, So I'm really glad the restaurant closed its doors. I sincerely hope that the branch in Hilton is more connected to reality or its future will be the same... time will tell. I enclose the bill and photos of the dishes for your judgment. Health for everyone

Although we enjoyed the taste of the food, it was just not really worth it for the amount you pay. Luckily we had a gift card for the restaurant, otherwise i’d feel disappointed. It definitely lacks in quality and originality compared to it’s former sister on Rothschild street. Some of the dishes are still very good though like the wasabi cream sushi roll and the goma rolls.

The best sushi I’ve ever had. ❤️. The food served without waiting long. Great service and very nice, friendly staffs.. reasonable price. . It’s in Hilton hotel, so it’s easy to find for a nice dining. Very high recommend. 🇮🇱🙏🇩🇪🇩🇪🇨🇭🙏🥰😘🌈🌎🙏🙏🥰😘🙏🙏

Fantastic food and experience! One of best kosher restaurants in Israel. Great for couples groups or special occasions. And great service!!

Great Asian food. Products were very fresh. Service was great and we loved the atmosphere in the restaurant. Not very cheap but returns good value for your money.

very nice place, very good and delicious sushi! a bit expensive but very high quality. good service.

The "Hot" dishes were great. Really good. Very tasty and served interesting for the eyes appetite. The sushi wasn't so interesting. Could skip it. Service was helpful and pleasant. But why is the the payment in US Dollars?! while you live and eat in Israel?! Why not in Bitcoin? Didn't mention the desert because it was based on the hotel's options... So we all went looking for a perfect ice cream spot in a different place to end the evening meal

Delivery review: We got two lunch deals - salmon with rice and a seaweed salad, and the chicken (with rice) with fries on the side. Everything was delicious and flavourful:) it was nicely packaged and warm on arrival. Excellent Japanese place from our experience!

Ramen was good Fried fish sandwich was amazing. Service was slow - although I have to mention we arrived at the rush hours. Staff was ok. Value for money. Go there.

As a Japanese who has ramen a daily basis, this taste is so much innovative that I have never had before. Off course, It's really nice and quite new type of Miso Ramen.

My friends and I ordered almost their whole menu. It was a good price for the quality you receive and they have lunch specials which are very affordable. The reason I dropped one star is that I was hoping the chicken sandwich would be better. The bun was a bit dry and considering it’s suppose to be a milk bun, that was disappointing. Also it lacked some sort of sauce on the top of the bun to hold it all together. The button had coleslaw which was ok but I think adding a pickle and some Mayo in there would have made it a home run but that my preference. Our favorite was definitely the hot dog followed by the chicken sandwich and finally the corn dog. The salads were very nice and the additional crunchy bites really make the difference. One salad is a seaweed salad and the other a coleslaw. We also ordered their version of a chirashi bowl. The ordering process was very smooth (they have machines and also a QR scan that you can order from). They are located at the end of the market which is convenient since there are bar tables outside where you can eat and social distance :)

Found this restaurant by chance and the food was amazing 🤩 tried a crispy fish burger, it was perfect and the fries too🍟. Very excited to try the salmon now, thanks for this great experience! Unfortunately the crispy fish burger is nearly always sold out 😫

Really good Japanese fusion food. A bit pricey, but super tasty and fresh. I've tried the chicken Ramen and the broth was really rich and thick. Definitely one of my favorite Ramen bowls in Tel Aviv

The soup wasn't hot enough when we got it on a cold winter night. However the flavor was fantastic. But for some reason everyone was ordering chicken sandwiches

We came to celebrate our 25 anniversary. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The waitress explained us about the menu and then offered an option that she will select the dishes for us and it will cost us up to 440 ILS per person. We chose that option and did not regret it. The dishes were delicious and exactly what we were looking for. We had 8 different sharing dishes and that was great.

This is in my opinion the most overpriced and underwhelming restaurant I have been to in Israel. The menu is amateur with repetitions of the same curry powder coconut milk and chilli powder in 4 of the dishes we had. It’s just lame and not creative. The white chocolate (you guessed it) and coconut dessert is seriously disgusting and we had to send it back. Service is ok, not bad or good. The server asked me how much I want to tip him as he held onto the debit machine- this is of course very polite and normal . I enjoy loudly stating the amount of extra money I want to give a server.

We came here for the Saturday lunch set menu and everything was absolutely delicious! Here are some dishes I really recommend: • Bean sheet salad • Fresh green salad • Butcher’s cut steak • Whole fried sea bass (served with fresh lettuce leaves, rice noodles, basil, cilantro, and three sauces – sour, spicy, and sweet. The sour one was my favorite!) • Butter chicken (a bit smaller in size but comes with rice, and the sour cream really elevates the flavors) My sea bass was definitely a highlight — you actually get to build your own wrap: take a lettuce leaf, fill it with noodles, herbs, fish, and dip it in the sauce of your choice. The bite was absolutely divine, a true flavor explosion! My partner really enjoyed the butter chicken, creamy and flavorful, and he highly recommends it as well. Overall, such a wonderful Saturday lunch experience - highly recommended!

Taizu offers an exceptional fine-dining experience with its high-quality, contemporary Southeast Asian cuisine. The menu is built around creative and unique dishes, thoughtfully blending flavors and techniques inspired by the five classical elements. Every plate is meticulously prepared, delivering complex, delicious, and deeply satisfying tastes. The overall experience is elevated by the excellent service, where the staff is knowledgeable and perfectly attentive. While dining at Taizu is not cheap, the superior quality and unique culinary adventure justify the premium price tag.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly and attentive service. I’ve been coming here every few years when visiting Israel, and it’s consistently an excellent experience. Perfect spot for couples or small groups (3–8 people). Our visits usually come out to about 250-350 ₪ per person.

Highly recommended, probably one of the best asian restaurants in Tel Aviv. We had the brunch there, the food was delicious and the portion size was just right. The table service was highly professional as well.

We placed an order and received confirmation in the mail but when we arrived we were told that we got a confirmation for the waiting list. In the confirmation this simple fact was not visible in any way. A disappointment never will visit again

This was my favorite food experience in Tel Aviv. Hands down the best hummus in this city. A way to tell if a spot is good is if there’s a queue. Since I’m a solo diner I went in and got seated very fast but with 3 other random gentlemen and it was quite fun because they didn’t speak English so I just got to observe them. How I wish I could understand their conversation. The owners are running around and you can see the hustle and bustle. One can tell this is a family run business. They take your order really fast you have the option of non spicy, spicy, or mixed hummus. I picked the mix with egg topping as it’s the most popular. It’s paired with bread and some sour pickle dressing and raw Onions. It’s clearly the Old school way of eating it by cleansing your palate with raw onions. The 3 men at my table were eating it raw and I was just thinking to myself maybe there’s mint offered afterwards? Nonetheless, the mixed hummus plate was Exceptional paired with my bread. Such humble and simple recipe yet so filling and delicious. The owners allowed me to even go in the back and video the process. I couldn’t have been more grateful to the food and the experience. This is an absolute must try in Tel Aviv

Best hummus in Tel Aviv - and absolute must visit if you are a tourist and a favorite of locals as well. I would recommend this place to everyone. A quick and delicious lunch at a great price too!

I've been coming here for decades! The taste and quality of the food didn't change. Fresh and tasty. To the point you cannot hold yourself from ordering seconds. The service is welcoming, friendly and extremely effective service, even at the busiest time. My favorite place among many that I've been to, across multiple countries and food types.

As a hummus lover, this place did not disappoint. In fact, it served a fresh, light hummus that left me wanting more. This place is pretty hyped and I'm happy to say that it lived up to my expectations. While it's famous for it's whole chickpea hummus, musabaha, the regular hummus was the winner to me. But because both were tasty, I think we are all winners as long as we go here to eat. Because I just couldn't get enough, I also tried one of their other locations, and I'm happy to say that they were just as tasty and served eggs too, something that wasn't on offer in this place, which is the original location. Sidenote: A friend's mom used to eat here when she was a kid in Israel and was surprised it still existed.

The Best Hummus in Town! No wait at all and got a table immediately. Try their regular and their spicy hummus! Service is really quick and their quantity is good. For two people, get one and share and you should be set! Very filling and healthy!

Delicious hummus! Very simple to order, you only have 3 options to choose from. Hummus is really fresh, bread is also good. Try scooping the hummus with the onion they give you, I thought I wasn't going to like it but it was a pleasant surprise. See more of my pictures on Instagram: lizzario_photoart

One of the best Hummus spots in the world hands down! I totally recommend the Massabacha dish with the spicy-lemony-garlicy sauce that comes along with it. Another very popular choice is the Meshulash dish that contains regular Hummus, Massabacha and Fuul (Fava beans) all in one dish. The only improvement that I can recommend is the pita's.. they should be warm and fresher.

In short: The food is OK, the service is less then OK the price is like 2 star michlan restaurant and atmosphere of cheep club. Long story: We were a big table (8 peaple). We have taken the suggestion of the waitress to have a tasting manue according to what we like. The service:the waitress were nice but the service was slow, we waited about 20 minutes between each dish (about 5 in total).we ordered wine, but after poring the wine to the glass they have taken the bottle and put it out of reach and we needed to ask multiple time to riffle the glass until we asked to have the bottle on the table because it was very annoying. The food: the food was OK, verity of dished with Thai influence in total the food was beautifully and tasted nice but nothing to special. The atmosphere: I think this is the worst thing in the experience, the restaurant it self is beautiful but they played load Trans music that was just awful, especially for high end restaurant. The price: very high, we payed 1600 ils for about 5 courses with 3 bottles of wine (for 8 people).

Excellent restaurant! Every dish had something special in it. Interesting combination of flavors and a nice variety. The cocktails were great too. We really enjoyed the food and the service.

In one word - WOW! I think the pictures speak for themselves… every dish was perfectly planned and designed to the last detail. It was delicious and thoughtful, no doubt worth the money. The waitress was very kind and friendly. There was even good music. Bonus tip- come to lunch, there is 15% on the food menu!

So you’re looking for a different culinary experience compared to what most restaurants in Tel Aviv have to offer… You want a great meal, savory, fresh and if possible absolutely mind blowing… you want the real deal umami, not “the easy-way-out” MSG… you give Topolompo a shot and yes! Bullseye! The black cod is probably one of the best if not the best Tel Aviv has to offer. ✅Variety of interesting dishes ✅Mind blowing flavors ✅Attention to food plating and detail ➖Pricey ➖The restaurant design, furniture and general ambience don’t match the amazing quality of the food they serve ➖The service is not well trained enough for this level of food and prices Great to go with friends, business meetings and maybe dates (preferably for dinner).

Food is superb! Strong flavors. Really pricey though, so try coming for business lunch if possible. The duck curry is dreamy, and the fish patties are great (juicy, served over naan with excellent sauces). Do not miss the caramel chocolate dessert!

Business lunch - GREAT! pay for main, get an appetizer and a free drink. My first visit to the restaurant and it was a refreshing experience. Authentic South Indian dishes that are not available in any other restaurant in the country. See the picture, and enjoy. Price wise, adding sweets or alcohol, puts the meal on the expensive end

One of the most interesting and delicious restaurants I've been in the last year. first the design is very impressive, second is the service, the waitresses are full of knowledge in explaining the dish ingredients, they work with tablets and the starters arrived very quickly, most of the dishes are very special, the flavors is so kind and everything is delicious. reservation is recommended here and if you want to experience this place without spend lots of money, come for lunch. this was my first time here and sure I'll be back for another visit.

Funky kosher dairy menu. Not the usual boring fare. Variety of breakfast options through the day. I enjoyed my quesadillas. My wife had a solid smoked salmon bagel. Beverages were imaginative and great for summer. My espresso tonic was very good. Great vibe. Busy. Sits on the route for the light rail which meant that it was noisy.

Loved the place, very accommodating staff and delicious kosher food. I had their special of the week: eggs on beer bread with a beet spread and cabbage topping. The vibe is inclusive and the menu is super original. Definitely will be heading back! Recommend going before 11am bc it got packed after like 11:30.

Possibly the worst coffee I’ve had in my life. At first I was disappointed by the small portion. But after my first sip I was glad that I didn’t receive more of this sub par beverage. It was terribly bitter and sour. I went with a good friend and she described her coffee as “literally just trash.” As far as food is concerned, the menu is quite small, which could be seen as a good thing. I ordered the egg and cheese bagel which was fine. Nothing incredible and nothing bad. It was a very small portion with only a single egg and toppings that slide all over the place. I also noticed that most of the tables around me received their orders wrong and received excuses from the wait staff. To summarize, I left Cafe Xoho (what is that name?) rather disappointed and disturbed. It certainly is a very busy and trendy establishment but I don’t understand how my fellow restaurant goers enjoyed their experience. While they drank the liquid that drips out of Tel Aviv air conditioner units that Cafe Xoho is selling off as Lattes and Espresso, I asked my table mate how it is that everyone else seems to be relatively enjoying their meals? At the table next to me, a young American frat type boy commented that it was the best bagel he ever ate. What? Poor boy, are you ok? Are you being starved? Have you being living on the diet of a squirrel or small bird, seeds and nuts? Blink twice if you need help. Of course I understood everything when I saw his hat, a Boston Red Sox SnapBack. Spare his soul for he know not of the might of the pinstripes of our great Yankees, hailing from the new city of York at the head of the Hudson! In short, I would not recommend.

The staff here clearly don’t care about their customers. I placed an order and specifically asked to remove a few items, but they ignored my request. When I complained, they replaced it — with the exact same mistake. After complaining again, nothing changed. On top of that, they automatically added a tip, as if we’re in the U.S. In Israel, tipping is up to the customer — and trust me, this place doesn’t deserve a single shekel with such poor service. What a shame. If you’re visiting Israel or just looking for a café, avoid this location at all costs. There are plenty of better places nearby that actually respect their customers. Also, the prices here are outrageously high compared to other cafés in the area.

Every morning in Tel Aviv, my wife and I follow the same ritual: coffee at Xoho, on Ben Yehuda Street. Our anchor point, our little piece of order in the chaos. Xoho has two zones — smoking and non-smoking. I smoke, so our choice is obvious. This morning, three empty tables. One in part sun with a single chair; two in the shade, still cluttered with empty cups and crumbs. No one around — just the remains of other people’s breakfasts. As usual, I sit at one of the shaded tables and wait (don’t ask, just wait) for someone to clear it. A waitress approaches. She tells me the table hasn’t been cleaned yet and suggests — no, politely orders — me to sit at the sunny table instead. “I’d rather stay here,” I say. “I can wait. Take your time.” “It’s not a suggestion,” she says. “I demand.” Fine. I get up, waiting for her to clear it. She starts moving around, wiping every table except mine — a perfect little ballet of passive aggression. Then another waitress passes by. I ask, “Excuse me, may I sit here?” “Of course!” she says, smiling, and immediately clears the table for me. I sit down, relieved. Naturally, the first waitress reappears. “See the difference between you and your colleague?” I tell her. “She hurried to help me. You’ve been rude.” She calls me ridiculous. I tell her she’s been horrible. The tone rises a bit, but nothing dramatic. Then the manager appears, serious and defensive. “You can’t speak to my staff like that,” he says. I explain what happened. He doesn’t care. He demands that I apologize. “No,” I reply. “If anyone should apologize, it’s her.” He asks me to leave. Which I do — calmly. If I were him, I’d probably have done the same, out of principle. Still, I can’t help thinking that waitress chose the wrong job. One day, Xoho will figure it out. Pity — it used to be my favorite café.

Amazing breakfast place! Vibrant, lots of people, and music is playing! The staff is attentive ❤️ Food was great as well, fantastic design of the menu - healthy and classical options with an original take on them. Pancakes, granola, bagels! Oat and almond-rice milk available, which is fantastic for us :))

Delicious place for a gluten free, vegetarian or dairy free options. The place is quiet and nice with a self service concept. You order in the front counter and you pick up in the bar. All of their options are delicious and healthy from main courses to beverages. Pick from different milk alternatives and be clear if you want the GF or totally vegan options. Recommended for breakfast at anytime. I had pancakes and bagels at 3 pm.

I can't say this restaurant isn't good, but it's a bit outdated when it comes to the food selection, the cocktails, the "look and feel" of the menu and even the service. The starters are pretty good. Sushi is not bad either, but you can find better options nowadays in other places.

Absolutely insanely delicious. It is very expensive and very much so worth it. Everything about this place is wonderful. It was really nice to have a quieter dining experience with a relaxed atmosphere

Absolutely one of the best Japanese meals I’ve eaten in Israel. One of very few restaurants that is absolutely worth its price. We were a group of 4 people and we ordered LOTS of food to share (16 dishes!) and came out with a bit less than 200₪ per person. Everything was delicious! Most memorable were: the butter seafood dish, Tofu Agadashi, and the special Inari sushi. The service was fantastic and the waitress gave us out of this world recommendations. I will definitely come back for more one day.

Such a vast variety of choices from the menu. The place is very clean and very nice serving dishes. The fish is very fresh and the butter, ginger with sesame oil sauce was delicious. The sushi were perfect.

Had a great experience. Iddo’s service was excellent and his advice on wine, food and desserts spot on. Japanese chefs deserve a special commendation. The sea bass was memorable as well as the sushi combination. Desserts were delicious. Overall, a memorable night.

It's more of a 3.5 stars based on a single visit in a group of three... The dishes were very decent. Benitoro, inari, and macha brulee in particular are highly recommended. The service was quite good overall with only a little touch of arrogance. The green tea could have been much better, but it was nice to get a hot water refill. It's also nice that it's open during lunch time. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was disappointing - the all black design with dark light in that area didn't help the feeling either. The menu is somewhat overpriced in my view.

Had a really great time. The food is really thought out and for the most part original. The ogadashi dofu (that's right, with a d, not a t) was superb. The beer served was also great and special, especially the white ale. As a vegetarian I found the sushi rolls comparatively good but ultimately I feel sushi without a fish just doesn't cut it.

We were passing by and waited patiently in line … fast food The beef Shawarma was stuffed with chips (fries) / hummus and there was a station to get your own: coleslaw / pickles / hot peppers Very satisfying

Wordls best shawarma, lines sometimes long, but the workers are very good at controlling the audience!

Waited 15-20 minutes for them to make 1 sandwich. Didn’t mind that part, what I did mind was watching the entire time as the worker ate with his hands/licked his fingers while simultaneously handling people’s food

This is likely the best shawarma in Tel Aviv. You order first and pay then give your receipt to the guys behind the counter to make your meal. All seating is outside and make sure to ask for utensils because they often forget to put them in if you get something to go. Food quality is fantastic. Pro tip. Get drinks elsewhere such as the grocery a block away and then get food here and sit outside.

OMG! I've really missed a good shawarma! After 2 years abroad this is the first place in Tel Aviv I've walked into. It was pretty busy with a mix of locals and tourists. Was quite difficult to find a clean table, and had to wait for about 7 minutes before I could order. But guys, it was so worth it. The pita bread was divine. It was filled with a huge amount of shawarma. At one point I thought I wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing, but I ended up licking my fingers after the last bite. The staff was friendly. Prices are not cheap, but for the prime location on Dizingoff Street it may be understandable. Thanks guys for a great meal!

The food is excellent here, however it can get crowded, especially in the evening. The service is OK, but not great - they get you your food and that’s it. The hummus is to die for!

It was ok…. Great location but very limited seating outside. Young staff has some attitude problems but it seems like that’s how it is in TLV everywhere.

A very good Ramen in Tel Aviv. Resembles of Japan's Ramen the most in the city. The service is great and the food arrives fast. It's not much of a resturant though. Just a small corridor with the bar on one side, and small dining tables on the other side. The place is loud.

We had the classic pork ramen, the broth was nice, the egg, meat pieces and bamboo slices were good too. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the noodles, they felt overcooked when the dish was brought out and I felt like I had to eat fast before they turn to mush. We sat at the bar which was not a bad option, the restaurant itself is really nice. The server came pretty fast when we wanted to order and the food came fast as well but it was hard to get anyone's attention for the bill, so much so that we went to the register area and even then it took a long time to get our bill. All in all it was a mixed bag but good in general.

Men Tenten is like the high-class cousin of dirty, delicious street food. It’s got that slightly chaotic, fast-food energy, but with ramen and broths that taste like they were designed by a flavor architect. I come here every once in a while and it never, ever disappoints - the soup is deep, the ramen is always perfect. The pork thin and tender, the noodles rich and moist (sorry, but they are). This isn’t where you go for chandeliers and fancy silverware; this is where you come for the kind of luxury that lives in your mouth, not in the décor. And somehow, I’ve never had to wait more than five minutes for a seat. High-class taste, low-maintenance casual vibe - my kind of place.

The place itself is okay but too expensive from my eyes for what it offers. The food is pretty ordinary. I tried ramen with chicken, it was super salty, boring ingredients inside, cold noodles. For the price of more than 70 ILS I have definitely expected more. Also, I felt that it was too heavy and couldn’t digest it for 5 hours. I don’t recommend ordering Ramen here, it is too far from authentic. Sushi was pretty good with a lot of fish inside. But honestly the place doesn’t provide great service, mixed orders couple of times and in general is not very welcoming. I would not go again.

This is the most overrated place Ive ever been too. I had to go there around 3-4 times to decide that there is nothing wrong with me and their food is really not good ( in contrast to all the good things I heard on this place ). The ramen is not warm, and has strange flavour and bad smell. I took their pork and it was bad so the time after it I tried their chicken and it was so dry I couldnt eat the dish and eventually returned it. The service is ok, but really when I come to a place I care mostly about the food and it’s really not good!!!

Men Ten Ten is definitely one of my favorite restaurant in Tel Aviv, Israel. The main chief is from Japan and all ingredients they use I believe is all from Japan. That’s why the taste is very authentic! This is definitely rare to find in Israel. The chief is so kind and friendly! The soup he cook definitely worthy to go there to try out! Highly recommended to solo traveler, with friends and family. Must try! I will definitely go again if I visit Israel again for sure.

I was just there!! I tried their delicious curry rice with chicken katsu. I’m not a fan of spicy but it was AMAZING! It is not the cheapest place but definitely worth it. The service and atmosphere was really great :)

Disgusting desert. We ordered two 'ice creams': pear and tiramisu. It is pure sugar!!! One spoon of extra sweet ice cream, some topping with a lot of sugar and extra toppings, all contains a lot of sugar. Other ingredients are low quality, fruits are extra sweet (not fresh). After eating I feel only taste of sugar. Will never ever order again. Do not recommend to anyone. I think such places should not exist. By the way, the price is so high!!! 8$ (29 shekels) for a lot of sugar. Are you kidding me? I wish I have read reviews before buying anything.

Didn't taste good. Flavors don't sit well with each other. This came as a great disappointment as I am a big fan of Poke. The place does not offer rice as a choice, so all you get is weird tasting noodles that do not hold up the sauce. I will not give this place a second chance

Sounded interesting, so we decided to order an Asian dish. The presentation is nice, but flavor was nothing special, noodles were undercooked and chicken was already pre-cooked. It's a bit overpriced for a glorified fast food stand.

Lowering the grade after trying the desert place. Sorry to write that but the deserts were among the worst I've ever tried (tried two of them). It's like a LESSER version of the McDonald's Sandaes. Really. McDonald's is much better. ---- I tried the dim sum place with the vegetarian dish. It was nice but nothing special. Prices are quite high for a rather small dish.

The pasta was perfect. Better than expected. EDIT: I tried the shawarma plate. For 60 nis I got 150g of mediocre shawarma. it's insulting. I hope they improve their offering. PS: the cook was cutting and touching the shawarma with bare hands. Not an appetizing site.

Highly disappointed! I've ordered a vegan burger which I've been told it was made from mushrooms while it was actually made from beans. The worst of it was the taste! It tasted like coals, like a bottom of a BBQ and I was so unhappy to throw this away because nobody else thought the taste was good either.

Incredibly long lines and very poor service. (Even worse than the rest of the market). I only tried one dish, the Israeli shawarma, and it was fine but a little not-fresh and perhaps with a large dose of monosodium glutamate.

Cool vibe, great food and delicious sake. Food is influenced by Japanese cuisine. But all with a modern and local twist. Great service. I recommend getting a place on the bar, to see all that is happening in the open bright kitchen.

Definitely not coming back. First off, they have 3 vegetarian dishes on the menu and only one of them is a main dish. It was not good at all. Cons: we had to wait for a while until we got in, even though we ordered a table. We waited for at least 15 minutes when there's no proper waiting area, so people were bumping into us. At some point during the meal our waitress disappeared and it took us over half an hour to get another waiter to clear the table and get us the dessert menu. Same with the bill. We asked for the bill and it never came, until we got some other waiter. Such weird behavior, honestly. The food was part 'alright' part amazing. Totally not worth the price though. Pros: half of the food was really good. As a vegetarian I can only recommend the mushrooms with the egg yolk, but my friends said the dumplings were great too. Before she disappeared, out waitress was lovely. She came back to get the bill at the end of the evening. When we wanted to leave without getting desserts because of the bad experience, they gave us free desserts - two of which were amazing.

It a nice place with nice vibe and service but the food was not good: 1. The bun was nice liked the sauce 2. Tomato salad was not good.. too sour and not special at all 3. Eggplant with beef- not good, the meat was chewy and the eggplant tasted funny 4. Liked the dessert

We booked a reservation for 21:30 but they let us in only at 22:00... they apologized and compensate us with drinks and a dessert. The food is fine , not amazing. We expected more unique and surprising food.

Strong Asian flavors with a refreshing twist, good service and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, just make sure that you book a place ahead of time... Everything we tried was super delicious and creative, cocktails were really good too.

Just a few weeks since opening, so I might give another chance sometime after the place will run for a while, but today was a very disappointing experience. We were 4 people and all of us didn't like our dishes, first and main courses, except for the bun which was great. My tomatoes salad was very sour with a lot of ginger. And the main - butcher's cut - was served too raw and hard to chew. The service, however, was kind and caring.

A luxurious experience. We sat on the bar and got great service and bonus plates throughout the meal. I highly recommend the nori butter seafood dish with caramelized sticky rice cakes, and the wasaby-soy-salted caramel dessert. Such amazing and intricate flavor balances. Truly, a work of art. Staff is very knowledgeable and has hood recommendations.

Amazing Japanese restaurant. Everything I tasted was very delicious, fresh with high-quality ingredients. A large selection of dishes besides sushi with a wide variety of fish. Akiko herself was very nice and provided excellent service. The place is rather small, designed in Japanese Izakaya style - sitting on high chairs around the bar. So making a reservation is recommended. One of the best sushi I have had in Tel Aviv and I will surely revisit this place.

The food was delicious, the service friendly and quick. A little pricey, but it’s TLV 😅 pairs well with the eco park at the northern edge of Tel Aviv - at walking distance 😉

A one of a kind experience in Israel, hands down the best sushi. Why? You are in Japan. As simple as that. The fish? Butter. The execution? Perfect. The atmosphere? Unique. There is a reason Gilboa gave it a 9/10...

Amazing food and service. Was expensive to boot, but frankly it was worth it. There's a level of authenticity to the place that adds to the overall atmosphere.

One of the bast sushi place in Israel. Enjoyed a Friday lunch. All we took was great

The food was amazing. One of the best Japanese restaurants in israel.

Very good sushi and very authentic. A bit expensive but totally worth it

The atmosphere is fun, the venue is very elegant and has a good vibe to it. The service was very slow, took the food a long time to come out, and the waiters seemed to be a bit inexperienced. The food's plating is beautiful, and the ingredients are fresh, but the taste is a bit plain and lacks 'a kick', The dessert was excellent and saved the day. Overall, we had a nice time but expected a little more .

Visited this restaurant after receiving a great recommendation from a friend however, I wasn’t as oppress as she was the design of the place is quite impressive, even if it’s not perfectly maintained, but the seating is crowded, and it took a while until we were seated, even though we had a reservation. Then we were seated in location at the very end of the restaurant, and my personal view was towards the back kitchen, which was not well lit. The view I had was the big stain of moisture from the ceiling. The food was good - some dishes were mediocre and some dishes were very tasty. The service was pleasant, but quite slow. Overall for this price, I will probably go to eat sushi somewhere else. There are quite a few options in the city.

Unfortunately, today we chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The food was okay, but after one sip of wine my boyfriend spit this out. It was most likely a cockroach. Anything can happen (although this happened not at a shuk, but in a restaurant that presents itself as high-end). What truly matters is how the staff handles such a situation. There was no service. The waitress gave a brief apology, but the manager didn’t come — we had to call him ourselves. We waited 5 minutes. They removed the wine and the dishes we didn’t manage to eat from the bill. We decided not to continue the dinner. This is clearly not the level of service one should receive at a restaurant like this. The whole situation was very unpleasant, especially because it was a birthday. The mood was ruined, and we will not come back here — and we don’t recommend to anyone. Imagine pulling this out of your mouth on your birthday

We went with my husband for dinner on a Sunday night and the place was full! The ambience and atmosphere were great! The waiter was very attentive. The food was fantastic, but especially the Bar Yam fish dish and the Neon Sushi roll. I know they have amazing desserts too, but we were too full to try one. Next time!

Very good restaurant. Didn't find a lot of Asian dishes, but there were some very nice touches, like the wasabi puree next to the beef fillet which was as excellent dish. As a matter of fact, i was quite surprised that the fish dishes we ate (4 out of 10 dishes) were good but not thrilling. Whereas the beef, lamb, agnolotti, and even the vegetable dish with the fire aroma were excellent. I definitely recommend the place. We were 4 people, ordered around 10 dishes, a drink each, and a chocolate desert, had a bill of 1111 nis. All in all, not a crazy price point, but not cheap. Well worth the time and money.

Food was really good and creative, with lots of unique flavors. Really liked the Squares, which had raw tune and crispy rice, the Maguro Nigiri, which had goose liver on top or a tuna sashimi, and the Gyoza, which was served with corn foam and was a really nice twist. We sat at the bar, which was pretty full and also had a couple of nice cocktails. Service was really good. Only drawback about this place is the atmosphere, which was kind of strange and very dates oriented rather than friends/groups kind of place, so don't expect the casual Tel Aviv vibe, at least not right now.

Absolutely incredible food both for breakfast and dinner. We stayed at Ink Hotel and ordered the Sun Young breakfast as part of our stay. So glad we did! The food and service are top notch. Only problem was we always left so full because we couldn’t stop eating all the food they gave us! (Which included a bread/croissant basket, yogurt with fruit and granola, garnishes, fresh salad, orange juice, coffee, AMAZING tuna salad and then our entrees which included salmon eggs Benedict, two types of shakshuka, and a crepe, among others.) At night, the place transforms into a trendy Asian fusion restaurant with all of the Asian-inspired favorites reinvented and taken to the next level. Such a fun environment and absolutely exquisite food. Would go back again and again.

Fifi's it's my favourite place in Florentine. Although it's a small and to you have to wait for your table, the wait is totally worthy. Ifat cooks the ultimate comfort food,makes you feel in a secret exotic place. Her deserts are dreamy When you visit Tel Aviv is a must

Small and cosy place with amazing Ramen. The atmosphere is amazing, the smells are great and the food is perfect!!! Great vegetarian/vegan ramen. Best Ramen in Israel by far!! Also the dessert was incredible. Very nice sake and drinks. Service of the stuff is great, and very nice. 2 down points that need to know before going - *Food is more expensive compared to other places in Tel Aviv, it's all hand made locally. *You can wait long time to get a table or to get the food, because it's a small place and very popular if you arrive when there is lots of people and a long line you can wait up to 2 hours... But... It's worth every minute and the stuff give you sake while you wait :-) Recommend for Ramen lovers!!!

Really loved the old menu so came to try the ramen. Extremely expensive (90NIS for a very small portion of meat, noodles and mainly broth). 35NIS for macha tea. The food is not bad, but the prices have soared and the overall value dropped.

Went on Ramen week and had the special Tonkatsu Ramen, which was really tasty and unique 🍜😋. Broth had a fishy taste, which wasn't too strong and the Pork Belly was just delicious. Flavors were definitely not traditional and the noodles were not standard Ramen noodles either, but the dish was really good. Also had the Giyoza, which were really tasty as well, but also not traditional tasting Giyoza. Fifi is a great place and the only downside is that it's really difficult to actually find this place open, I went several times and was disappointed that it was closed. They never pick up the phone either... Hope you'll get lucky 🍀🎲

I heard so much about this place and was very disappointed. We ordered chicken Ramen and beef Ramen. Both very oily, full with not related to Ramen products, there was too much of everything. In general, Ramen is quite simple food, there is no need to make it complicated. I think it's not worth to pay 112-118₪ for Ramen that you can even digest.

Seriously, one of the best Asian food places in Israel. Fifi has such a creative take on east Asian cuisine, that it just stuns me every time I go. This is my third time there, and even though there was a problem with in the kitchen my first time there that made the food taste not so good, I saw the potential and returned twice more. This time we had masala croissant with pickled yolks and herbs, lamb and beef pastry with a spicy yogurt topping, shrimp har gao, and a misu crack pie for dessert. All simply delicious. They change the menu every week, so make sure to check it before you arrive.

They didn't have an English menu when I went, but the waitress helped me pick something. I'm not sure what it's called, but it was beef over rice with some coconut based sauce. Overall, tasted okay and was filling. Meat was prepared pretty well. However, while each individual piece was fine, it was just kind of an uncoordinated pile on my plate. The flavors didn't mesh well together.

Bought 4 cheeses, each one weighed only about half of what I paid for. Worse thieves than on the market! They were all very good but I was never cheated like this before. UPDATE: I contacted the business as per request below and they came up with a satisfactory solution.

My favorite cheese places in the world with great wine and amazing cheese platters. The customer service is out of this world. Ask for Yogev who is a sweetheart and knows how to spoil customers. Try the truffle butter and you'll be hooked.

It’s the second time I come to pick up an order, they are ‘missing’ half the type of cheese that was confirmed/ordered and then try up sell you more expensive cheese to replace it

Absolutely amazing customer service & specialty cheeses offered for great prices. I recently placed an huge order of cheeses, bread, wine, etc. from New York to be delivered to a friend in Israel as a gift. Rotem offered such amazing service, her personal number so I can contact her at my convenience, & answers to all my questions. She made it so easy & hassle-free to give an awesome gift to a loved one. Both the delivery & customer service...’remarkable’ would be an understatement. The delivery consisted of more than enough quality cheeses & for an amazing price. A huge thank you to Rotem & Basher for everything. 100000% would recommend to any cheese lover or anyone interested in awesome food with great service

Great cheese shop. One in a network of "Basher Fromagerie". I can not explain it, but they manage to bring 12 years old Cheese from all over the world, to include Truffle Manchego. Truffle Manchego is made from pasteurised sheep's milk and has a soft and dense texture with crushed black truffles - outstanding. Gouda Cheese, Brie Fermier and many more. One of the best places for cheese lovers. Expensive.

Huge selection of cheeses feom all over the world as well as other delicacies to go with it. They also have Quinoa loafs of bread which are great.

Salesperson was incredibly nice and patient. Excellent selection of cheeses. Overall great experience full of offered tastes

Unfortunately Ya Pan is overhyped and overpriced. The food was good, but not great and definitely not memorable. The best dish was surprisingly the Hanger Steak, which had very light Asian influence and is not what you would come to Ya Pan for, which is the fish and seafood. Nevertheless, if you want to go for the safe option or are just into meat then I would definitely give it a try.

Nice Japanese dishes. The curry dish was fantastic though I ran out of the curry rather quickly and all I was left with is the white rice with nothing to dip it in. The Udon noodles were pretty tasty too. Food price is is little on the high side as expected which is fine but the drinks are way over priced. Service is great.

We were there for Saturday lunch deal and it's great! Amazing VFM! The food is really good, very nice portions. service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

One of the top bistros in Tel Aviv. I visited the locale more than five times and they never failed to deliver exceptional food. All the appetizers on the menu are excellent. As for entrees, the masman and curries are terrific, the steak is awesome, and the Japanese burger is inspired. The service was always immaculate while I was there. Keep in mind that the place can get quite busy, so reservations are recommended for anything but the off-peak hours.

Excellent service.Special and tasty food. Good atmosphere. Don't miss tuna tartar and grilled hanger steak. Not cheap,but worth it. We definitely enjoyed there!

Everything was amazing! 4 stars instead of 5 because timing could get better! We went for the first timers experience and let the waiter bring us a litttle bit of everything! Really good choice and for the second one we have some dishes in the list that we need to try so we will definitely come back! @breakfastalwayswins

Very disappointing, was looking forward to eating here for a long while - booked three weeks in advance. Although I am sure all the ingredients were very fresh, everything tasted like frozen deep fried. Food was mediocre at best - chicken burger, shrimp sandwich, lettuce salad, fries (very not good), fish tartar, octopus curry (undercooked rice), and pork belly. Drinks and service were good. Price - way too high for a Japanese burger joint.
