Friday Night Sushi

Last Friday we had some friends visiting us from Finland. To show the guests our city (and because I'm quite lazy), we decided to go out for dinner. As one of the guests does not eat red meat, schnitzel and bratwurst were out of the question. So, we thought we would check out the new sushi place on Taunusstraße, Okinii.

I'm not a sushi expert, so all I can say that the food was really good and on the menu there were some dishes I haven't seen in some of the other sushi restaurants. Okini is a "all-you-can-eat" restaurant, so at dinner time you pay 24.90€ and you can eat as much sushi as you like. Being used to the German restaurant prices, this seemed to be quite expensive, but for a Finn it seemed reasonable enough for a good sushi dinner.

In the restaurant, you are allowed to order max. five items per person at a time, and after you have finished those, you can order the second round of max. 5 items, and so forth. To avoid waste, you must pay extra 1-2€ for each item you haven't eaten at the end of the dinner. But what was the most interesting thing in the restaurant was that you make your orders yourself with an iPad! It worked really well in this type of restaurant, where you order many small dishes.

I would say we really did enjoy the evening and the dinner. Unfortunately our smallest companion did not like to sit in her high-chair for many hours, so she gave us some exercise between the dishes...

Thank you for reviewing this place - I was wondering what it was like. I haven't tried any sushi places in Wiesbaden yet (yet!) - I was seriously put off after I tried the sushi box from NordSee - but I've heard that Sushi Hongsam and Sakura Sushi are both good - have you been to either of them?

Thank you for your comment! To be honest, I haven't eaten sushi in Wiesbaden before this... But a friend of mine recommended Sushi World on Rheinstrasse.

Ok, thanks! I shall keep that one in mind as well then. And I like how formal our commenting looks with our "Frau"s! :)
