I am a major fan of Japanese style food. I got the 6 course menu, and the first 'Grüß aus der Küche' transported me to Japan. It was a small piece of tender beef with a radish and sesame. It set the tone.

Everything was really good. Two highlights for me:

A plate with Mackerel sashimi with caviar and Japanese mustard ice cream. It sounds totally weird and I mostly do not favor caviar. But it was magic. The ingredients in that dish played off each other wonderfully.

A main course with a Venison steak, back cut, with a butter nut mouse that tasted like salted caramel and candied hazelnut. Mixing a dab of this with the reduction sauce, and intermingling these with the array of tiny bites of mushrooms, mustard seeds, what I think was a tiny dollop of mash, mini onions and radishes was staggeringly delicious.

The price of dinner has been earned by this chef. He spoke with us after dinner. They really change dishes around on a daily basis. He had a chef of the year award already in 2013 and kept his Michelin star 4 years in a row.

The tables are spaced very far apart, this is a nice feature. The interior was designed by the Hotel, so I cannot fault them for this. I think areas for improvement would be the servers and their ability to read their guests, or to generally provide service to match the high caliber food. They were all very friendly and engaging, but timing was sometimes a little off and it felt impersonal. A different person would approach the table each time or sometimes a really long pause between meals. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't there for the service. But it seems like a better coordination for the front of the house would be welcome.

Two minor points are the reduction on the deer was very salty. I think that is ok or 'good' for someone who had a fair amount of wine, but not for the typical customer. I also did not taste any Yuzu in the oyster sauce or the Yuzu/banana dessert despite anticipating it.

I would gladly return.

YUNICO, Bonn
» My visit: June 2024
» Total score: 4.6/5 – still very good
» Comment: Overall, I would rate the food as good to very good: In my opinion, the dishes were characterized by many different and all very high-quality ingredients. I also found some of the dishes to be elaborately crafted. I would particularly highlight what I thought was the outstanding third intermediate course with red mullet, the excellent pre-dessert and a very nice selection of confiserie.

There were, however, some aspects that I didn't like: In my opinion, the team should not take the risk that a guest who may be inexperienced in Japanese cuisine should have to eat their way through what I found to be a soy sauce-dominated mishmash (despite the high-quality, diverse ingredients) during the first intermediate course. I then came across a pungent aromatic outlier. I would suggest that the team cross-checks with each individual guest that they have actually understood the purpose and form of use of said ingredients.
I found the lamb in the main course overcooked. Moreover, I would describe this dish as single-sided and unharmonious.

Rightly a Michelin star restaurant!
The finest taste experience! It's unbelievable how the different flavors are combined to make great creations! Highly recommended: include the Kobe tasting in your menu. Fantastic! And you will love Omakase!
The service is just as great as the cuisine: attentive, friendly, dishes are explained at the table. Incl. welcome by the chef at the table.

We've been here several times now as a couple and will be back even more often.
Thank you for these great experiences every time!

An experience. The ambience is pleasant, yet the service is warm and not artificial. The food leaves nothing to be desired. A menu is highly recommended to give the chef a free hand. Dietary regulations are easily taken into account. The sommiliere deserves another great mention. She has accompanied all dishes with excellent wines and sakes and explained the background to all of them, which, in addition to the wonderful taste, also gives you a little story. Overall, a wonderful experience that can only be recommended. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
