Picked this place because I liked the idea of a Japanese twist on tapas, which I think is exactly what this was. They had a great selection of unique Japanese cervezas and many intriguing items on the menu so I was satisfied in that respect. My favorite thing here was probably the Yakisoba in "pad thai" sauce (which was more like a very sour, bitter generic Asian sauce). Although the ramen noodles they served with were uncooked, the warmth and spiciness of this dish hit the spot. We also got the tuna katsu which was pretty bland, the wagyu skewer which tasted too vinegary, and the chicken skewer which was covered in a sour guacamole/pico de gallo-like spread. The chicken skewer was pretty good. For dessert we didn't papaya tart with yuzu sorbet, which was delicious. The service was attentive and very helpful in guiding us through the menu in English. The waiter did not seem to acknowledge my spouse throughout the course of the meal though, which seemed strange (e.g. didn't offer to refill her water glass). Overall I thought the food was good quality and it's a solid place to grab a bite, but nothing was really memorable and I think there are better options in the area.

Difficult, difficult, difficult to give this place a star-rating. Please consider this a 3,5!…read more Short version: Was I fan? About certain things, YES! Will I tell all my friends, colleagues, family members "go there!"? No. The one thing that stood out and I would say: GO EAT IT, is the gunkan Squid&Truffle. I have never had any sushi so delightful and sooooo yummy ever in my life!! My story: Thursday afternoon and hungrrrrry, craving for sushi. Consulted my Yelp app, as I do, and found this place nearby. Hashtag win! I came in around 2-ish and it was totally empty, I was the first customers. Which makes sense, as the Spaniard goes to lunch way later. When I left, the place was almost full. So, if you want to go here with a group - totally possible when you go a bit earlier! The menu is interesting; really cool flavour combinations! And again, that gunkan Squid&Truffle is SO good and you have to eat it! If not, I'll fly to Madrid and tell you off in person. I had the gunkan Fatty Tuna (which was ok, no wow-factor), the gunkan Sea Urchin (booooooring), and the Hotate Maki (good). I was expecting more from the Hotate Maki; scallops can be so soft, that they just melt in your mouth and that wasn't really the case here. To be fair, I expected the Squid&Truffle nót to be so soft and it was. Ooooooh this gunkan will stay with me forever and will give me gastronomic dreams for the rest of my life!! The service was good, not super surprising as I was the only one in the restaurant and already had all my food before it became busy. The one thing that really makes me give this place no full stars is: 1. My overall sushi-eating-experience; the nori was nice & crispy + the rice was dry (meh) + some toppings were uh-mazing (had I mentioned the Squid&Truffle? DO IT!) but overall I found the toppings medium impressive. 2. The overall price; €50 for sushi & 2 drinks is excessive when it comes to the overall yumminess (or lack thereof), except for the Squid&Truffle. Sorry, had to mention it again. Plus: there's already 10% service charge on the bill. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big tipper, I am! I think it's just something 'that you always do' and the amount represents the appreciation for your experience. In general, I give around 5-10% and when I really liked it, I'd give 20%. I just really don't like it when it's already on the bill, I'd like to decide for myself and I think customers should always have that option.

If you've ever tried to find quality sushi in Madrid that matches the cost of other Spanish…read morerestaurants, you're probably still looking. Yes 19 Sushi Bar costs more but having tried many other places, I can say it is worth it. Today I had a beautiful bowl of salmon sashimi on a bed of ice. The sashimi just melted in my mouth. The cost was around 16 euros and yes that is expensive but there was plenty of it, 8 large pieces of 2 bites each, positively delicious. Also very good miso soup, California roll and fantastic service. They do have a menu del dia for 14.95 euros for those that don't want to break the bank. I will be making this my regular Sushi joint! Someone also mentioned a 10% service charge. I just checked my bill and it's IVA Spanish Tax of 10% required by law, so it isn't a service charge/tip as some might think.
