Food was good and portions were perfect. Had the pho which was ok. Dim sum pieces were bigger than normal and tasty but nothing special enough to warrant waiting in line or coming back. The best dish had to be the crispy duck. read more

A disappointment even though we are already very lenient when judging Asian cuisine in European cities. Not worth the time and money if you know your dumplings and Phõ. read more

i've been disappointed in many 'asian fusion' restaurants, but i'm glad we went out of our way to visit this place. the waitresses were friendly and very helpful, especially when it came to translating the catalan-chinese menu. the wheat beer on tap was good but i wasn't able to finish the 'porter' and can't recommend it. however, every last dish was great. the dishes that stood out were: cold aubergine: sounds weird but was silky soft and very tasty. deep fried fish: you can't go wrong with this! even though we were warned that it was VERY spicy, it was not spicy at all. bbq pork bun: perfect. but you only get one so order up! duck: we went for fatty rather than dry, but it felt more juicy than fatty. beef with pounded rice?: i don't know, it was delicious and moreish. definitely drop in if you're in the area. it was 55 euro for 3 hungry people. i wish we had a joint like this in copenhagen. read more

Dumpling heaven. The smoked duck dumpling is what dreams are made of, so if you're lucky enough to nab a seat, I suggest two orders!

Honestly was disappointed with the food. I love dim sum but this was just average at best. The lineup was out the door so I expected better.

I have been here two times for dinner and one time to get some beers. It is as good as it gets. The dumplings are delicious and I recommend to get also the duck. Prices are on the spot and the craft beer selection is also really good. A little hustle is that it gets really really crowded so expect to have a line. Decoration is also really nice and service is gentle and it looks they are having fun with what they are doing, a rara avis in Spain table service. I got to know them because this summer I attended to a craft beer festival in Poble Nou and they were in charge of one of the food trucks, the red ant. It seems that its their brand for food to go, that is close to the main restaurant. I am a fan of Mosquito, and at least you have to try it! read more

Craving dim sum during our honeymoon and unfortunately we left unfulfilled. (Not to mention the hours information on yelp lied!) This review is about 2 months late, and I can't even remember if I liked anything. Guess it doesn't help that I live near a din tai fung. So I guess if you have nothing to compare it to... read more

Mosquito reminds me of Berlin. It is a very nice place with a very good atmosphere. It has a big beer menu and the food is delicious. Small Asian dishes. I'm a vegetarian and found a lot of dishes I could eat. Highly recommended! read more

Food was amazing. Loved the dumplings. Great brand of lemonade sold too. Only negative is the super long wait for a table.

Best food I've had in the last 3 weeks traveling in France and Spain. Asian fusion/pan Asian. Not straight up anything. Fresh, delicious. Crazy good dumplings. Reminded me of Momofuku in NYC. Super friendly local and tourist magnet. read more

I came here because I needed a break from traditional Spanish food. Coming to Spain from Vancouver I need some Asian food. It was cheap and highly rated, but coming from one of the cities with the best Asian food in the world, it was not up to my standards. Food and drink was just okay, wasn't bad but wouldn't personally recommend. read more

Delicious. Yummy. Authentic. Nice break from Spanish tapas every night. Recommend shau lun bao and duck. Can be busy.

Hidden gem! I was only wanting tapas and Spanish food, but I met a tourist that said if I wanted to change it up, try Mosquito. Omg sooo cute! Hipster vibe! The pho was AMAZING!!!! So cheap and so much food! I wished I had found it earlier. The service was super nice too! Omg I want pho now! read more

I usually don't leave reviews if I feel like the existing reviews accurately represent the situation. With mosquito, the case is not as such. I'll begin by saying that the establishment lives up to its name - my experience was just as annoying as the pesky mosquito. I was not (like some other negative reviews) expecting authentic Asian food, so I think my complaints here are valid. THE SERVICE When we got there (just me and my boyfriend), there was no line but the restaurant (very small) was mostly full. I tried to get the attention of the server who asked me to wait by putting up her hand and walking away. Strike 1. Slowly, a line began to form behind us. Still, no one brought us to a table, told us how long the wait would be, or even said hello/hola. Finally, the same girl who had put up her hand to me before "sat" us at a table. A shared table with two other strangers, directly in front of the constantly opening door on a freezing cold day (it was literally snowing!) and by "sat" I mean she gestured to the table implying that we should sit there. Strike 2. There was a menu (see the existing pics of the menu on yelp) sitting on the table so we grabbed it and decided what we wanted, but we did have some questions about certain items. There was no pencil to mark down what we wanted so we just sat there. We continued to sit and wait, and at this point we had been sitting and waiting for about 20 minutes, when I looked outside the door and saw our "server" (the same girl from the previous two times, orangey red hair with bangs) having her smoke break and texting on her phone. STRIKE FREAKING 3. Honestly, what kind of restaurant has you wait for 20 minutes without taking your order or even bringing you water? I almost got up and left. At this point, I pulled over the closest server, a blonde girl with her hair in a bun, and asked if we could order. She said yes and immediately brought us a pencil and the tapas dishes. Then we marked down what we wanted, asked her our questions, and she left to put in our order, bringing us our drinks/water about 45 seconds later. Finally, SERVICE. What we ordered: - pho ba "city" - pork dumplings - pork ribs - white rice - beef something (don't remember the name) THE FOOD When our food came, they brought me my pho, and then the lazy orange haired girl brought my boyfriend a pho as well. He was confused and didn't know if that was the beef dish he had ordered, but since none of our other dishes had come out, we had no point of reference. Shortly after, the other 4 dishes came out, so we were confused about the pho that he hadn't ordered. I asked the blonde server about it and she apologized because it had been brought to us by mistake, it belonged to the next table. I was not shocked given that the orange haired girl had brought it out. We didn't get charged for that bowl of pho that he didn't order. Overall, I thought the food was mediocre. It wasn't bad. But it was nothing special. I mainly ate the pho and the pork dumplings, which were very oily compared to ones I've had in the past. Dripping oil as soon as you bit into it. Some of the negative reviews on here are very critical of the food, I assume because they are used to high quality, authentic Asian food, which this is not - but you're in Barcelona, not China or Vietnam, so you have to be realistic there. I think a lot of the people who like this place are not Asian or ethnic and have more bland palettes, because the food isn't very flavourful. But it's not terrible. I didn't have high expectations but I have to set the record straight, because mosquito was recommended to us by a friend, and someone on yelp called it "divine intervention", which couldn't be further from the truth. As you can see, the blonde server really is the only redeeming quality this place has. God forbid you go on a day she isn't working. There is a ramen place down the street that looked great if you're looking for a pseudo-Asian experience. My recommendation? Skip mosquito, and go to La Pepita instead. It is amazing Catalan tapas, absolutely unreal, the best meal I had in Barcelona by far. I'd go back there a million times over before I'd ever step foot in mosquito again. read more

There is no competition in my heart for Mosquito. Their food is just amazing (I particularly love their aubergine in peanut sauce and all of their dumplings) and they offer a great variety of beer of which the best are often from some Barcelona microbrews. There are some frustrating aspects about the venue though. For instance, it is always packed and you can't outsmart the crowds by booking a table since they don't accept reservations. Also, I feel like their prices have increased since I first went there a few years ago, but, honestly, where have prices not increased? read more

Crowded & need to wait during the peak hours but worth it. Asian comfort foods (authentic) in the heart Born. DELICIOUS !

Some of the best 'Asian' food I have ever tasted. Minor gripe...the place is tiny and cramped. Then again, many restaurants in old town Barcelona are tiny and cramped. read more

cool, small dim sum bar with yummy food, great selection of beers and cool waitstaff. read more

Mosquito - Jury's out.... - Asian Fusion Near Me - Barcelona, B

Mosquito is fabulous. My second night in town I came here with my "host parents" so they could show me one of their favorite neighborhood spots. As they are Catalan as far back as their families go and have lived quite hip lives here in Barcelona for the past decade or so their recommendations have been killer, and this is no exception. We got to Mosquito at about 11:30pm and the place was packed and there were about ten people waiting outside, so we grabbed a drink down the street to wait it out a bit. Upon returning at 1am it was still busy but we were able to grab a table near the bar. We ordered various dumplings, which are certainly the center of attention here, but we also got several other dishes including some ramen, a plate of mushrooms and other veggies which were all delicious. We ordered some hot dishes and some cold, and the mix of flavors, spices, temperatures and textures was sublime. The people were mostly locals, the food was delicious. the lights dim and the music was great (think The National). read more

Not suitable for family with small children's. Loud small and dark. We came here but left without eating.

We had lunch here the other day and really enjoyed it. My favorite was the veggie gau (like a goyoza but better). The cucumber dish and the rice noodles were also good, as were the veggie dumplings. My husband got a pork bun, pork dumplings, and a soup and enjoyed them as well. We ordered way too much food and couldn't finish it but it was very good and we both would like to go back. read more

Had three different kinds of dumplings. Pretty much all tasted the same. Food came out fast though.

Went there based off of a recommendation and was very disappointed. The food was decent but I wouldn't put this is my top list of dumpling places and I haven't been to much. When my bill came I noticed that they charged me for a different beer than the one I ordered. I order a local beer that was 3.25 EUR but was charged for a different beer at 7.25 EUR. read more

I had the duck and it was fantastic!! I also had thaifish cakes which were fine but not nearly as tasty as the duck! I would def recommend this place and suggest you go when your hungry the portions were pretty size able read more

Great ambiance and food menu, definitely worth checking out. Must try the bamboo dish and steamed fresh tofu.

Good food, but super busy! Everything is handmade you can see them making food right in front of you. Get the duck #1, the char siu bao. Yum! read more

As a tourist from US, my wife and I were looking for a local place to enjoy Asian Fusion as recommended by Yelp. It's in a good area. Don't wear anything above jeans/t-shirt/sneakers. It's only a dum sum menu and prices are very reasonable. We ordered a lot of food for 2 people and spent around €40 total. Tasty food. A hole in the wall place and food is plentiful with speedy service. Get some hot sauce because you'll need it. Come without AmEx because they don't accept it (much like most of Barcelona...not that I blame them). read more

This place is so good! We had to wait a bit because it was packed and its a smaller restaurant, but the price is so reasonable and I definitely recommend the pork dumplings and the baos read more

Wish I could give less than 1 star. Perhaps the reviews are high because there are so few Asian restaurants in Barcelona. As someone who has eaten dumplings/Asian food before, this was absolutely below average. However, the worst part was the pitiful service. We were seated at a dirty table and sat for about 20 minutes before getting tired of waiting for a server and going to get our own menus. We still were not greeted, so I went to the bar to order. Even when our food was brought, we were not given plates or utensils. The waitress was visibly annoyed that we only ordered water to drink and brought us bottled water despite that we asked for tap. To make matters worse, portions are small and extremely overpriced. I would strongly discourage you from eating here. read more

This place is a shame for Chinese food , no food in this place is good , everything is an insult for Chinese food , the dumpling not taste right , the duck is way too dry , the pork rib got no taste . The pho was terrible ( was it even Pho? might as well called it something else ) .the dimsum ?? the won Ton soup ?? the Bun ? they are all under standard , any place in Hong Kong , Singapore and Taiwan can top this place ..my friend and I tried at least 10 dishes between us and hoping to find at least one good dish but forget about it .. People love this place because they ve never tried better or they have no idea what Asian food is all about .. the only thing I like is the beer selection but I dont even like beer !! This is is way disappointed , Please ignore any good review on here , they dont know what they talked about .. Trust me. I think this place is the worst place , not because they sell bad Chinese food but because they sell bad Chinese food and happy about it, for years, they have no improvement and I bet the owner him or herself have no idea about the taste of Asian food .. and not even an Asian.. Yes , I am upset .. ,I also tried their other places under the same management but also disappointed. read more

This restaurant has become a staple of mine while living in Spain. You can get 6 dumplings (pork are the best!) for about $4. It's an awesome place to grab your own meal or easily share off plates with friends! The cold plates are awesome too--especially the cucumber. Be sure to get there right when it opens if you don't want to wait... it's a small place so you'll probably be spending time outside until a table is ready. It's also known for its craft beer :) read more

Great place for a dim sum fix. Go early or prepare to wait in line. There's very limited seating; it's not the place to go with a large group. read more

good creative tapas asian oriented. dumplings are quite good. wash it all down with some craft beers...whats not to like?

Pretty bad food experience, the beef tapas was a frozen block of beef defrosted in a microwave and when they gave it to us it was still moulded in the shape of a container and was completely tough. The kimchi side was bitter and tasted as if it had been sitting around too long. The dumplings were okay as they were made in front of you but out of everything, the har gao was brutally disgusting. The inside seemed like a mix of shrimp and something else but when you eat it it had absolutely no texture as it tasted like a sandy goop. The skin of the har gow seemed off when you look at it and also just tasted like melted goop in your mouth. The service was good, very welcoming and hard working. As for the food, please don't call that asian fusion or anything related to asian cuisine as that is by far the furthest in culture or quality as to what asian food is. read more

Cramped and dirty place. Felt the staff wanted us out in we had eaten our food. At the same time, the meat did not taste good, and we left more than half of the food left on the table. read more

Don't be fooled by the hours. They don't serve food until 8. I've been dying to try this place but it's either not serving food or too packed. Someday... read more

Mosquito is simply great. Great food, great vibe. Warm and inviting. A gem in Barcelona. The pho (city) was delicious.

1st time I have ever been to a dumpling place but it was unreal! The place is small and has great personality. Beer is really good as well. We also spend maybe $30 American for 2 people and we were able to bring some home... Very much recommend! read more

Had a great lunch here today. Dumplings, steamed pork belly and the pho ga were all flavoursome and delicious. Washed down with the house red and we were happy travellers. Highly recommend. read more

We had a terrible experience here. We read the reviews and instantly cued in line. There seemed to be no system for keeping track of who arrived when. The waitress came out, asked our name and told us it would be 40 minutes. We eagerly waited and made friends with some of the other people around us. After 40 minutes everyone we were originally standing with had been seated inside. A new wave of people started to arrive. We thought we must be next. We patiently waited another 20 minutes, and we started seeing people that arrived after us go in and be seated. This continued again and again. We confronted the waitress and asked her where we were on the list. She became defensive and said she hadn't had a table for 3 people (and clearly she wasn't making any effort). After an hour and twenty minutes waiting, we were hungry, frustrated and ready to leave. We asked her how much longer it would be. She got defensive and then could not even give us an answer - as if it could be longer! Even other people in line realized what was happening and offered their place to us. I'd hate to think it was because we were American but she clearly had some issue. read more
