“ Everything was excellent, the gyozas and the makis were awesome. In every bite you can tell that the cook loves the food he makes. And let's not forget the service that was also great. We will come back for sure ”
“ Don't try it. Service is not good: they first didn't come to.order our food, we ordered gyoza as starter then sashimi, fried noodles and makis as main course. They first brought the noodles and makis, then the gyoza which was the starter and then the sashimi. The noodles with fried chicken were supposed to be spicy but wern't, the deepfried chicken got not crispy because too long soaked in the sauce, the sashimi was served without rice and the nori weed on the makis was too hard... so don't even think about trying. The gyoza was served with a wine sauce...?! The restaurant is not cozy, all fake Japanese style. ”
“ This Restaurant is a bit further away from the "tourist hotspots" but still delivers. Amazing food, great service and fair pricing. Everyone who is visiting L' Estartit should pay this restaurant a visit. ”
“ Very nice little option in a pretty boring food place. Not the greatest sushi I’ve had but it was nice, fast, well priced and good service. Can’t complain! ”
“ My partner and I ate here last year and the food was incredible. We ordered a number of dishes and the waiter, was also the bartender host and chef, he was amazing. My partner got a chicken sushi dish (I can’t remember the specifics) but he regards it as the best meal he has ever eaten. We are going here again on Wednesday and we can’t wait! We’ve been thinking about it swings our last trip! Update: as expected, the food was amazing, we had Yakisoba starters (I had vegetable and my partner had chicken) they were delicious but very large, so keep that in mind if you have a small appetite! For our main i had salmon hosomaki, salmon nigiri and we shared tuna futomaki (with avocado and cream cheese), my partner had the tori uramaki which he had previously and it was just as good as it was last year! The same man from last year worked there and he was just as attentive and helpful as last year! Once again we can’t wait for our next trip! (Thank you!) ”
