There were mostly local people eating there, few Americans (just us!). A healthy lunch 5 minutes from our hotel--perfect!

(Reservations can be made in person or over the phone only - while we were eating, I saw the phone ringing off the hook and their reservation book being added to.) When it was time for our reservation we were greeted and seated by a nice man who turned out to be the chef/owner himself, Marcos Gil. He went through each item on the menu with us and suggested wine pairings for our selections. We ordered the leeks, salmon, veal cheek, and venison, a daily special. They were all incredible! Each dish was not overly sophisticated and let the main component truly speak for itself. We could genuinely taste the craft and care that went into each dish. The dessert was no exception. Despite being a modest, unassuming restaurant, the space was intimate and inviting and the service was excellent along with the food. Worth more than any three-star Michelin meal any day.

I was desperate for a bit of Asian food, as I was getting farther along in my Europe trip and…read morehadn't really had the opportunity to sit down and have good Asian food. Unfortunately this was not it. The food here was not only overpriced for what you get, but it didn't taste good. I had the green curry chicken (rice is extra), and I have to say, it was flavorless. Flavorless in the sense that the green curry was super boring in composition, it was poorly flavored, and overall just a watered down version of the real thing. I wasn't expecting much since I was traveling in Spain, but still, this was just flat out bad for Thai food.

The reality is you can charge more for "Pad Thai" than you can for "Chow fun". Unfortunate, cause proper chow fun is good! We ordered silver noodle salad but turned out to be stir fry with silver noodles. I would say if they want to call it Thai food, fine but make sure to use the right name for the dishes. Luckily the other dish we got was beef with cashew. Can't really mess that up. Was not bad tasting. And wasn't expensive. But it wasn't Thai food.

Unfortunately the Gayagum, in the center of Madrid was a little disappointing. The squid was clearly frozen before it went into the broth.

The place was packed, and we didn't have a reservation. Luckily, three spots opened at the bar, so we took it. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. Their specialty is ramen, but their bao buns are also popular. We ordered the Korean Chicken Bao, Pork Belly Bao, D.I.Y. Ebi Chili Taco, dumplings for our son, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. Everything was fire. I would reorder each item. The bartender also recommended the Tiger Prawn Bao, but we were too stuffed. The bartender is next to the kitchen so we got a look at one as it was coming out and it looked good. Our son loved the dumpling. He scarfed down two orders. When in Madrid definitely check this spot out. If you can get a reservation to be on the safe side.

The menu is simpler now (4 pages) with limited starters, drinks, katsu dishes, ramen bowls, and desserts. However, this is not to say the food is any less delicious. For our dishes we enjoyed fried gyozas, likely salted edamame, two bowls or ramen (chicken and beef), katsu chicken, and katsu curry chicken; also, not to mention, a tinto de verano that was wonderfully heavy on the tinto and light on the verano if you know what I'm talking about. The ramen bowls are good but the broth is a little watery for my taste. However, the katsu dishes are spectacular. The rice on each dish is sticky and the seasoning on the katsu chicken is savory. The katsu curry is perfectly balanced. The staff is incredibly friendly and our waiter took great care of us, and he even offered helpful tips and preferences on a few dishes. Overall, this is still a good restaurant with great dishes.
