Brilliant brilliant brilliant. This place is a gem in Reykjavik and I can highly recommend it to anyone who likes sushi. It is a little pricey but the staff is very polite, helpful and sweet and will make it a wonderful experience. It is on the second floor which can be accessed by climbing a small set of stairs.
Wonderful place!

A gem in town! The ambient was perfect and we got awesome service.
They made our sushi rolls on the spot and right away, and their texture and flavor was mind blowing.
We will definitely be back. It’s good to know we can go to a place where you can taste real sushi!

Very long wait for food considering there was only two other people in the restaurant, waiter had forgotten about one of the dishes which resulted in extra wait, the staff is extremely young (teenagers) and they play loud, offensive rap music in a restaurant which is supposed to be Japanese. The restaurant was very cold with draft. Sushi was good enough, but not the best in Reykjavík. Also we had to witness the staff quarreling about the order with each other. I would recommend to look up some other place for a better sushi experience.

Second time going to the Sakebarinn since it opened. The first time we had a fantastic Sushi, good service and a nice atmosphere.
Unfortunately the second time did not even come close to in terms of service, food or atmosphere.
We made a mistake by not reserving a table beforehand and when we arrived the waitress said that they had seats available but the wait would be approximately one hour, if we would want we could order some starters if we were hungry. This place is small and cosy but when she offered us a table that was so close to next table it felt like you were dining with that table. Irritated but looking forward for a new sushi we decided to order drinks while we waited, order four types of rolls as well and then a group of ten young people start to walk into this small restaurant followed. The group was rather loud so all the other guest had to raise their voices making the calm atmosphere turn into a stressful and non relaxing dining.
The food arrived a lot sooner than the waitress had informed us, after around half an our we got our sushi and the plate looked fantastic. The taste of the fish was of an aged one, the soya was way to salty, the rice was either too cooked or not cooked and some the end taste was just bad. I could have gone to Costco and gotten a ten times better sushi for just a drip of the price.
Fortunately we had 2 for 1 coupon for the sushi but the total experience for the second visit was a never to revisit.
I hope that they just had a bad day because our first visit was a good one. Therefor I will leave 2 stars instead of 1 star.

Not a good experience, Was told the Deluxe sushi platter would be amazing rolls that the chef specially chooses. We were served basic california rolls and philidelphia rolls and told that was deluxe. Disappointing

Great place for sushi and local foods. Small restaurant so very attentive staff. Went with my mum for dinner and enjoyed all dishes.

Fabulous sushi at this lovely sheltered spot right at the convergence of 2 main streets! Great atmosphere, good for single and romantic: The salmon tartare was so fresh and tangy and sashimi/sushi combo, were a great combo with the ncredible sake (apparently the most popular too.)Very chill!

Lovely restaurant great decor. The food was delicious. We did have to wait awhile but as the sushi is made to order we didn't mind at all! When it arrived it was definitely worth the wait. The lobster skewers are so good!

Very good sushi and yakitori at good prices. While the service was friendly, it was kind of slow to get our food and the place was maybe half full. Still, the food was worth the wait. I definitely recommend this place.

Probably the best sushi place in Reykjavík. One of the restaurants I goto again and again. The quality of the food and taste is simply so good. The service is great but remember that if you want fresh sushi, it takes time. We have tasted most of the rolls an all of the are good. For those who are looking for the restaurant remember it is on the second floor.

It's quite expensive compared to other Japanese restaurants you can find in Europe but the sushis are very well prepared and delicious. The fish is fresh and the different tastes of sake are original.

Almost tasted every Japanese restaurant in EU. This could be the best JP restaurant which is not organized by a Japanese chief.

The service was a bit slow and the place was very tight. We weren't sure if ordering the 5 course meal would be worth it, but as the courses arrives it became evident that it was worth the price. The lobster and monkfish were delicate, sweet and flaky. The salmon tartar was tender and delicious with hardly a hint of "fishy" aftertaste. The whale tartar was phenomenal, though I haven't had whale and so have nothing to compare it to. The nagiri plate was perfect; salmon, cod, mackerel, whale and tuna. All were fantastic. The sushi plate was unexpected (we thought we had already eaten the last plate, and were getting full), but up to par with the last courses. The desert was OK, but all in all a fantastic meal for $55. I am no small man and I was full. I can honestly say this was the best sushi experience I've ever had.
