Reviews Summary
Kuro Mori by Steffen Disch is praised for its innovative Asian-German fusion cuisine and excellent wine list. Diners frequently highlight the creative dishes, beautiful presentation, and friendly service. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies in certain dishes and occasional issues with ambiance or unexpected service charges from management.
"Loved the food and service at the place. We tried their appetizers and everything was perfect from the presentation to the flavour. For mains we tried their gyoza and short rib and it was nothing short of perfect again. Once again such flavourful food with great texture and presented oh so well. Their dessert - black forest cherries was to die for.
The service was very friendly with good attention.
The only complaint was the ambience - gets warm inside and the tables outside do not have chairs with back rest.
Highly recommend the place. They delivered very well."

"Delicious and ambitious, a great night that was enjoyable but not fully perfect - as the black forest came short in the fusion. But what we ordered was mostly well executed and delicious, presented beautifully. Fantastic German wine list, including some excellent premium choices (VdP, GG, Erste Lage wines). Thank you"

"I was excited to come here. The place is beautiful and the staff is really friendly. The food not so much! The bread as appetizer was tasty, fresh warm sourdough. But the Bibiliskäs was bland and the Miso Butter also wasn’t pleasant. So I was excited for my veal dumplings on Broccoli with Shiitake mushrooms. But basically it was 3 frozen dumplings fried to death over two broccoli stems with one button of Shiitake. The sauce on top was ok. But for €26 I expected something fresh not frozen and fried. Unfortunately my phone died so I couldn’t take a picture of the dumplings. I might give it another try but yesterday was definitely disappointing."
