Best Fusion Restaurants in Vaterstetten

Our lunch at Shimai was absolutely delicious. The chicken wings and special duck buns were amazing as was the miso edamame guacamole. Plus the atmosphere was cozy and quiet, perfect for a Sunday lunch in November. Our server was kind and attentive. We highly recommend this little gem in Munich!

My Dining Experience” From the beginning, the service was excellent, setting a positive tone for the meal. The atmosphere was very pleasant, with a menu that included vegetarian options, which was a plus. The selection of hot and cold drinks, while limited, was satisfying. The food itself was delicious, with dishes beautifully presented. Unfortunately, there was no “chef’s special” dessert on offer, and the dessert menu was limited to just two options—but that was fine overall. The main issue with the place was the table setup. Tables were positioned very close to the walls, making it uncomfortable to eat and limiting arm movement, which affected the overall dining experience. Additionally, the atmosphere was quite noisy; a nearby table with several guests was very loud, with conversation and laughter echoing throughout the room, adding to the discomfort. Finally, while the reservation had requested a smart casual dress code, it was clear not all tables were following this guideline.

Second visit - another great experience. Great flavor. Can highly recommend.

We had a great experience, from the incredibly innovative and delicious dishes to the attentive and helpful staff would certainly recommend ESSENCE to others.

It wasn’t really fancy enough for a special occasion, but it is a great place to dine. 100% recommend for a nice night out with delicious sushi and great friends.
