    Very happening vibe, the young, female DJ was spot on with her picks and skill in spinning. Good was excellent and the drinks super creative. A nice change from the endless paella and croquettes you typically find in Barcelona!

    Very much just a show off place - servers don’t know what they do, just bringing the food. The ambiance and the decor is super nice - not so practical to eat though There is a DJ - so it more looks like a cocktail bar for which I recommend to go there for, and get yourself only the cocktails ;) as the wine they don’t know how to serve… it’s a joke…. Regarding food - it’s very fancy like - but save your money book a Michelin start restaurant (better value for money) The menus combinations are a joke! Min 2 people and they serve you piece of fish to share… better order a plate and that’s it - even though it’s not worth the price… not really place for a good dinner.

    We were in a special brazilian all u can eat event in this restaurant. The decorations is super nice, live music was making a good atmosphere. They had sushis, and some brazilian "snacks" like coxinhas or fried tapioca in an open bar style + a main dish to choose (picanha, feijoada or moceca) We had a great time but i think its a little bit pricey, or well lets say for this money you can find some places in the city where you can eat even better (was around 50€/person. Quality is good but nothing mind-blowing.

    Delicious food, preset tasting menu gets you to try a lot of different dishes. Everything was really really good. Service was good in the start, but at some point they lose the attantion and even forgot we had a preset menu. Book ahead, it was busy.

    I recently tried sushi at Ikibana, and it was disappointing. The sushi didn’t taste good and the ingredients didn’t work well together. Also, the portions were too small for the high prices they’re charging. The inside of the restaurant looks nice but it’s pretty worn out and needs fixing up. There are scratches all over the place. Plus, it wasn’t very clean, especially the floors, which was a big turn-off. Overall, while the restaurant has a nice style, the food, prices, and cleanliness really need to be better.

    I just love this place! I'm very happy that I always know where you can eat deliciously) especially since it was here that I discovered tuna tiradito, now it's my favorite dish! And also the staff and service are like in a restaurant) ❤️❤️❤️

    A very intense and inappropriate waiter, making macho comments, deciding who should pay in the table and other weird things. Food was really bad, particularly the foie sushis with truffe and other presumably fusion food, except for the gyozas that were excellent. We were badly sat on stools, we spent a fortune and I was sick the whole night afterwards. To avoid absolutely? Pity for the gyozas...

    A well - designed interior and a welcoming atmosphere is the select pluses that count ! Depends on what you are used to compare and how you want to define this fusion cuisine! I’m not the kind of person that talk in vain ,my personal opinion is that the food is not at the highest standards ! There’s nothing malicious about the restaurant !

    Very tasty food and innovative dishes. The dessert menu is also delicious. We went around 8pm which is a more relaxed environment. A bit later the room gets a bit dark and noisy. The standouts were the lobster starter, salmon tartar and the hokkai roll. Presentation is beautiful.

    Highly reccomended. Good service and great food. I personally recommend Yakitori, delicious. We did not take any cocktail but definitely will do next time.

    Good Food & Ambience. We enjoyed our stay and would come here again. Only thing that could be managed a bit better is the welcoming of guest especially in busy times, even if it is just a short interaction.

  • 4/5 Cristobal D. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant and overall atmosphere, but I wasn’t really happy with the food. I think it’s on the other side of being product-oriented and is a little heavy, even in “simple” dishes. Everything I had was quite heavy. Very good service

    From start to finish everything was amazing. A warm welcome a comfy seat and the sushi bar and delicious food. It's my first time visiting Barcelona and the staff were extremely interactive despite my lack of Spanish and their minimal English. Kind intent is universal. They were even kind enough to give me recommendations of where to visit with the remainder of my trip. I will 100% be back and I will be bringing friends and family with me. I usually want to rush off the second I'm done eating but the atmosphere was so great that I hung about chatting to the staff a little. The three gentlemen on the sushi bar tonight were absolute stars!! Worth every penny.

    We are visiting from the uk and the hotel recommended this. My husband and I decided on the taster menu it was delicious. My son had a few sushi bits also very tasty. All very fresh and the service was excellent.

    Pricy but pretty restaurant First of all, it is a very pretty, well decorated restaurant The service also is amazing, lovely and super nice staff, very accommodating However, the food is not so special It is quite pricy but still simple As starters we had the tuna tartar and gyozas which were great! The sushi and beef was good but nothing special for the price The cocktail assortment is great, we tried multiple ones and all of them were top!

    We had a lovely time at this interesting brasilian/japanese fusion restaurant. The number 1 plus is definitely the decoration and atmosphere. We had the tasting menu for 48 euro each. Portions were very generous. We loved more than half of the course, the rest was still ok and interesting. The deserts were definitely less interesting. Wine selection is great but cocktails are clearly made of premade purees and probably not worth their price. Service was good.

    The menus options are an excellent value. Interesting options of sushi. I do not drink alcohol but my friend told me she liked the wine she ordered. The experience overall is very pleasant. I recommend this place.

    It was an amazing dinner. Every penny worth! The best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to so far.

    It’s my second time here celebrating New Year and l must say that l am really impressed by the food and their amazingly good service. I would say that Ikibana is my favourite restaurant in Barcelona.
