    Singapore street food brought to Barcelona might not seem like a good idea, that is until you taste it. The <Vegan> Green Curry with a coconut milk base manages to be better than the original and my guest says that the prawn toast is about the best appetizer she ever had. And the place itself. which is built around a long horseshoe bar is energized. Tremendous and unpretentious. GO THERE.

    Everything is very good. The food is tasty and very abundant. An explosion of flavors. I have been several times and have tried different dishes on the menu. At noon they serve a menu of the day that is always different and very delicious!!! The restaurant is very nice and the service is 10. Waiters and cooks are super friendly and polite. You can watch them cook while you're at the bar eating! Street food spirit 100%, highly recommended!

    16-17€ for a curry seems a bit overpriced. I liked the taste of my Laksa but perhaps it had too much fish sauce. The service is very unprofessional: too much attention when not needed and not paying attention when it’s needed. So wouldn’t come back.

    Hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to! My friend and I had the most amazing experience - not only culinary, but service wise. The staff is amazing, kind and fast. The chefs are wonderful! Always smiling and you can tell everyone works in harmony. It truly is a team. I will never forget this night thanks to my friend who found this place. Food will not disappoint.

    Exquisite. Very good idea of ​​bringing together flavors from Mexico, Peru, Asia on a menu... I have tried the rice with beef with some vegetable rolls courtesy of the house. Incredible flavors and cooking at a very good price since the portions are generous and you leave satisfied. I highlight the attention of the staff. I'm going to be in Barcelona for a while so I'll be back for sure.

    One of the best fusion cuisines I've ever tried. Perfect mix of Asian and Latin American food with more Asian, East Asian options. Try the tasting dish if you want to have a full experience 🍜🍤🍱🥙

    Bland food without any nuance. I do not recommend it

  • 3/5 Lav 2 years ago on Google
    Was craving asian food & randomly saw this place on the map so thought why not. However a couple of dishes and drinks were unavailable, and the menu isn’t extensive so I settled for 3 dishes. Initially just wanted the rendang and satay but the waitress said she didn’t think if it’d be enough for 2 of us so I ordered the korean patatas bravas too. The patatas was pretty tasty, the sauce was yum! But the Rendang was awful (I’m Malaysian), and not at all spicy like I requested for. It was creamy which isn’t what a rendang should be like at all, and the portion was humongous as the beef came entirely on the bone. The satay dish was better but very mediocre, and again, the portion was huge so it was definitely more than enough for me and my partner had we not ordered the patatas. I hate wasting food but we had to leave quite a bit behind as we were too full and it wasn’t fit to be taken away either. As a south East Asian person myself, I was disappointed but I guess if you’ve not tried real hawker food before then this would maybe suffice? Service was good so stars for that.

    Happy to have this exotic mixture of different cuisines. I was expecting a bit more from the Bulgogi bravas but I guess it is also a personal expectation. Service was kind and smiley, clean and open kitchen, overall a nice experience.

    The best meal I had during my stay in Barcelona. The wings are out of this world, and the ribs I had as a main were equally as good. Would highly recommend

    As a person with celiac disease, it's extremely important for me to ensure that a restaurant's food is safe and gluten-free. That said, many places are not reliable -- nor are is their staff well-informed. Whilst the restaurant is not exclusively gluten-free, Laila, Laura, their chefs and the staff are very aware of my health needs and always confirm/re-confirm the menu choices I may have. I strictly avoid any dishes I have a doubt about. The place is always busy, with non-stop orders -- yet they always answer me with a smile and take time to answer my questions. Hawker's "DNA" is human and very personal. It is an open, "street food" kitchen, yet they seem to have the gluten-free dishes well separated. And beyond that, the quality and taste sensations are truly something special. One thing I do miss is a clear code system listing allergens on their menu: that would save time and avoid the "twenty questions" that are necessary every time. Beyond that, I very much recommend Hawker to my gluten-free friends and continue to eat there regularly. Enjoy!

    Wondeful place for authentic asian food! I visited this nice place twice. On my forst visit, I tried Thai salad and Filipino pork dish and I enjoyed them a lot! I was so impressed that I visited again for a tasting menu! The dished were amazing and seemed very authentic - I'm Korean and I can say that Kalbi is authentic at least:) The staffs were very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely visit this place if I visit Barcelona agian.

  • 4/5 Grace S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was decent, but a bit expensive. Also not sure what aspect of the dishes really made them “fusion” as the menu seems more to be a compilation of dishes from Asia. Nonetheless we enjoyed our meal and the staff were all friendly.

  • 5/5 Maria �. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the city. They make everything with so much care, everything is made from scratch, and there are hours and hours behind the preparation of the ingredients, sauces, ferments and more. It’s a great experience, and also perfect for lunch.

    Taste buds were definitely triggered that night. I don't expect it to be in any way healthy. Probably the opposite. But they did a good job on the food.

  • 4/5 Steffen A. 5 years ago on Google
    nice and interesting menu across Asia. The ribs from the Philippines were exceedingly good. I will gladly come again.

  • 4/5 Laisvūnė �. 2 years ago on Google
    We were pleasantly surprised by the food. But we made a mistake by ordering two tapas and two main dishes, 'cause it was way too much and we had to leave some food. The wings and laksa risotto were extremely good, although rise in risotto we overcooked just by a minute. The ribs were good, but not the best. I didn't give 5 stars, because the waiter understood very little english and it was quite difficult ordering drinks. But all in all, it was great.

  • 5/5 Leonardo 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing mix Asian restaurant. I had the chicken satay and it was even better than in Bali. I recommend also the Ginger Ale drink and the Mousse de maracuya for dessert. Perfect service. I will come back for sure and try the rest of the menu

  • 3/5 Maryal R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was not good, the salad of the Mercadona badly seasoned and the skewer without flavor. Normal attention. Come on, it was neither fa nor fa.

  • 5/5 Charlie V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very creative Chef Leilani whips up great dishes with really full flavor. Sometimes spicy, there are threads of various culinary traditions in the dishes. For the tasting menu, special wines not normally available on the wine list, make their appearance.

  • 5/5 Wyan S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great concept and mix of Asian dishes with a modern twist. Mellow vibe and friendly wait staff. We had a bit of everything! Best bravas ever! Laksa rice was spicy and intense! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Nicola B. 3 years ago on Google
    It was brilliant. Really good fusion food from a diverse set of cuisines. We had several dishes, all with very different flavours. Also the three desserts were rather good indeed. Strongly recommended.

  • 5/5 Elsa S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious dishes, tacos and prime rib were divine. The dessert was a small banana cake with yogurt, mix of hot and sweet or cold and sour it was to cry. In the same way as with the two dishes with a mixture of mild flavors with the spicy. Fusion salad, with grapefruit, green mango, two vegetable and meat guiozas (1 unit, of each) and spicy. Amazing. (Original) Unos platos deliciosos, los tacos y la costilla eran divinas. El postre trató de un pequeño bizcocho de plátano con yogurt, mezcla de caliente y dulce o frío y ácido era de llorar. De la misma forma que con los dos platos con mezcla de sabores suaves con el picante. Ensalada de fusión, con pomelo, mango verde, dos guiozas de verduras y carne (1ud, de cada) y picante. Asombroso.

    (Translated by Google) Quality and ideal price, the best food, I highly recommend you ... the service is very good, there are many little dishes to choose from, and the waiters will help you very well, the only thing they would need to improve is in the drinks, For how bad cocktails are, food makes up for everything. I RECOMMEND THEM (Original) Calidad y precio ideal, la mejor comida, os recomiendo mucho... la atencion es muy buena, hay muchos platos esquicitos a escoger, y los camameros te sabran ayudar muy bien, lo unico en lo que les faltaria mejorar es en las bebidas, para lo malo que son los cocteles, la comida lo conpensa todo.

    (Translated by Google) They announce Mole poblano and give you a mixture of rice and chicken with a sauce that has nothing to do with mole. Dishes very scarce.

  • 3/5 Olga A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We came to eat lunch menu and it was very good, although with the restaurant half empty they forced us to sit at the long chairs of the bar and not at the table although we tried to ask. As we liked the food a few days later we ordered a feast for 4 (price about € 64) with the glovo service and it has been a big disappointment. See photo below. I would still like to understand how we had to share 2 ribs, 3 empanadas, 3 bread etc ... (Original) Venimos a comer menú del mediodía y estaba muy bien, aunque con el restaurante medio vacío nos obligaron a sentar a las sillas largas de la barra y no a la mesa aunque lo intentamos a pedir. Como nos gustó la comida unos días después pedimos un festín para 4 ( precio unos 64€) con el servicio de glovo y ha sido una gran decepción. Ver foto de abajo. Todavía me gustaría entender como teníamos que compartir 2 costillas, 3 empanadas, 3 de pan etc....
