    30 piece sushi/negotiated/Sashimi boat
    Thuy Dan T.

    Great view of downtown Barcelona, fresh sushi, good service - can't really ask for more than that! We ordered the 36 piece sushi/sashimi boat, which was filling for 4 people. We also ordered the red sangria - not too sweet and the fruit was ripe! We also ordered the matcha mousse that wasn't too flavorful, but the paired cookies were really good! I recommend dining here during a Friday or Saturday and getting a bird's eye view of the Magic Fountain show. Can't go wrong coming here!

    Shake Teriyaki (Baked Salmon with Sautéed Veggie, Sweet Sauce and Rice.)

    Came to the Arenas De Barcelona for the view and some food and we stopped into this place that came through for the win on the food game. Me and buddy both ordered the Shake Teriyaki and overall it was delicious and I would definitely get it again for the price range. My only problem I had was the sauce was quite salty and for future references I would either ask for light sauce or ask for the sauce on the side. Other than that, English menus and staff trying their best to communicate as best as possible.

    Spicy edamame

    I was recently visiting Barcelona and we arrived at a weird time, and decided to try this place. It is at the top of the Arenas de Barcelona (basically a shopping mall) and does have great views of the city. There wasn't any wait when we went so we were seated immediately. The menu has lots of options. I had the chicken teriyaki, spicy edamame, one piece of unagi nigiri and one piece of tuna nigiri. The nigiri was okay, not the best, but not bad by any means. The chicken teriyaki had an interesting teriyaki sauce, but it was good. It was very filing after a long day of traveling. I had a friendly waiter, but again it wasn't very busy at the time we ate there. Overall a good experience, but it was a little more expensive than what I would have expected for the quality. Definitely better than a lot of other Japanese places I've had through Europe.

    Slow, inattentive service by staff who do not even bother to greet you let alone give you water. We had to flag someone down and even then they brought our drinks to us but only two glasses for three people. It was a comedy of errors from there.

    Great food for low price and restaurant with best view ever :)

    It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

    My mom was craving sushi and we came here on a mission. The hours were challenging because we got…read morethere 30 min before opening so we just checked out the menu from the outside and waited. The menu was hard to interpret in English but we did our best communicating with our server. We ordered the chirashi salmon, beef gyozas and a special roll of aburi uramaki. The salmon in teh chirashi bowl were huge pieces and the gyoza came out hot. The aburi uramaki roll was flavorful and interesting to have tasted the grilled onion pieces on top. It was more than enough food for both of us and it kept us full but I think we were expecting sushi flavors similar to back home (which wouldn't make sense since we're in a completely different country that has a slightly different style). Like the udon listed, my mom thought it would be the soup style but it was more like black bean noodles so I dunno. Great place for takeout since seating area is small. We were the only patrons eating in so service was on point lol

    If you are looking for quality sushi, this is the place. But if you are looking for one of the…read morebest value sushi places in Barcelona, this is also the place. Dynamite combination of both. The salmon was especially tasty in sashimi and nigiri, but they had this tartar salmon dish that was also quite good and very unique. The service was speedy and friendly and I would go back in a heartbeat.
