How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

The food was amazing, everything was perfect, but we waited 1-1.5 hours for our order. They came up and said there were too many orders, but at the same time, people around us were already eating, even though they arrived later. Apparently...

The staff were very friendly, but the service was terrible. The food was good, but overpriced. Part of our order was forgotten, and the restaurant was practically empty. We were the only customers.

The food was delicious, the best sushi in Berlin! The service was also very good, the waitress was polite and friendly. BUT. We had to wait an hour. This is completely unacceptable. We ordered three very ordinary sushi, eight pieces each, a...
Shisha smoke and odor
Reviewers note that the restaurant shares space or a terrace with a shisha lounge, leading to a strong smoke odor.

I have no idea where the reviews come from or what's going on with this restaurant. The restaurant is connected to a shisha bar, hence the smell. The atmosphere and cleanliness are more like a pub. The sushi was bad; the nori sheets were...

The atmosphere is nice, but the restaurant is located right next to a shisha bar and smells strongly of shisha. The restrooms are in the shisha bar. The service is friendly and efficient. The tea is both weak and bitter; perhaps it was st...

I saw a lot of ads for this place, but when I got there, I was disappointed. The smell of hookah was so strong it was impossible to eat, even outside. The waiters were completely unresponsive and uncaring. It might be fine for hookah lover...

I ordered the sushi set for one and, to be honest, I'm speechless – the taste was absolutely top-notch. The sushi is freshly prepared, perfectly balanced, and a true culinary delight. This is exactly how sushi should taste. Initially, I was a little skeptical, as Koneko Sushi shares space with the...

I have to say, Koneko Sushi Ku’Damm absolutely blew me away. The salmon sashimi is simply incredible – so fresh and perfectly prepared. Honestly, I don't think you'll find this quality anywhere else in Berlin, or perhaps even in all of Germany. The service was also top-notch – attentive but not int...
