SO GOOD. Sushi was so fresh. We got seaweed salad, 2 ramens, 2 sushi sets, a sushi bowl, and 2 extra fancy sushi. Literally hidden gem it was in the basement of a local market. read more

This was definitely one of the best sushi places I've ever been to. I would say top three in my entire life. read more

Yokaloka - This was definitely top 3 sushi places I've ever had in my life. So fresh and tasty. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

This adorable authentic spot for sushi is located in the bare bones basement of Mercado Anton Martin. Snag a seat at the sushi bar ( reservations are a must if you want an actual table). Great lunch specials will set you back about 16-18 euros but well worth it for the high quality fresh fish meal you will enjoy. I ordered the 10 piece sushi meal ( chef's choice) which came complete with miso soup, drink of choice and a small complementary appetizer ( tuna). The food was outstanding and the service was good. Perfect lunch spot in Madrid. read more

The food was good but some stuff in the photos weren't even there.and it took a while for the food to come

OMG - I was not expecting such delicious sushi in Spain but this place is 100% legit! The sushi menu is simple and everything is fresh. The ramen was simple & broth was delicious. The rolls were interesting (esp the jamon wrapped one - not do good) Advice: place is hard to find as it is a kiosk in a fish market. read more

This place is amazing! My friends and I were hunting for some good Ramen/Sushi and we found this restaurant! I got the Tonkotsu Ramen spicy and it was so good. It wasn't all that spicy but still delicious. I would recommend getting a reservation as it filled up kinda quick. I also got the sashimi variety. And who could forget the strawberry mochi? 12/10 would recommend read more

The ambiance of this place feels like Japan and just amazing. The servers only know Spanish but are really nice. You should make a reservation here to GE the full feeling but walk-ins are okay. The food is really good like amazing I think this is the best place if you want some Japanese food. read more

Cool sushi place in the Mercado. Very lively, great service and vibe. Excellent nigiri. Spicy rolls seemed tailored for local market vs authentic. Would dine here again. read more

Fuck yes! This little sushi bar may be located in a somewhat odd place, literally the butcher is next door but don't let that throw you off if you are looking for some fine quality sushi. That stuff tasted so fresh and was presented wonderfully, personally I don't care too much for ambiance but if you do, then I wouldn't go here... having said that, sushi is on point here amigos - keep up the good work! Yokaloka is one to remember! read more

This is by far the best authentic Sushi place in Madrid. Not a big menu but you don't need it. A must have is the Truffle Butterfish nigiri (We order 10 at the time lol): clean, fresh and melts in your mouth. Nobu quality sushi at a fraction of a cost. The spicy edamame is also a must if you are used to spicy food. Their house sake is great too. read more

Best ramen in Madrid! It gets crowded to make a reservation to avoid missing out on this gem of a place.

It took me one hour to convince my hubby to come here. Prior to that, it took me another one hour to Yelp/TripAdvisor all the Asian joints within walking distance of our Airbnb in Madrid, Spain. Madrid was the last leg of our three week trip in Europe. I was tired of tapas and paella, pizza and pasta, croissants and croque madams, and everything European and just wanted some acceptable Asian comfort food that wouldn't give us a stomachache. After zooming in on every picture of this place online, I thought that this place couldn't be that bad. I can at least order a plate of potstickers and go with all cooked food, right? When we sat down, I couldn't help ordering one little piece of tuna nigiri with our potstickers and ramen to satisfy my sashimi-tooth. The potstickers and ramen were just average. However, after devouring that one little piece, I was completely sold. I even joked to my husband that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and our favorite sushi joint in the Bay Area. The next day, we came back and ordered all sushi- one nigiri set and two maki. We did have to ask the male waiter (who, by the way, had excellent English and was more than patient to explain everything to us on the menu) to leave out the cream cheese and mayo in our sushi though. Very good and given that this is MADRID, this place totally blew me away. read more

One afternoon, boyfriend and I were strolling and browsing through Mercado Antón Martin when we stumbled across YokaLoka. We are obsessed with sushi, but we were in Madrid. And in Madrid, you eat like the Spanish, not the Japanese. After a few minutes of convincing (Boyfriend: We'll just have a few pieces, it's kind of like tapas, right?), I caved in. After all, it was the first sushi restaurant we had seen so far, and how good can sushi be in Madrid? Boy, was I wrong. The sake was amazing - it was extremely high quality, and the best part, you could easily taste that it was fresh! I guess that's the great thing about being located in a fish market in the Iberian peninsula, fresh seafood all the time. Since we ordered the sake (I'm all about the salmon), we had to order the anago too (Boyfriend's all about the eel). I'm not a huge anago connoisseur, but according to the boyfriend, it was great. If you can get his picky approval on eel, then you've really done something right. Unfortunately, there were slight downsides to everything else but the fish - the rice was not properly cooled, the pieces wobbly shaped, and the nori ripped like a 5 year-old. But the Japanese YokaLoka ladies were so kind - they tried to speak English with us, served us complimentary drinks, and even green tea chocolates! It's hard to come by such hospitality at dining establishments, especially in Madrid. If you're a tourist in Madrid, you probably shouldn't eat a full meal here. After all, you're in Spain! But if you're a local, and you just can't resist some good sushi, YokaLoka is a stop you need to make. read more

The teacher in my Spanish class in Madrid gave me the advice to come to this food stand if I want authentic Japanese sushi In Madrid. The sushi was really fresh and so far the best I had in Madrid . The staff was really friendly and invited us for a sake after dinner. Normally I'm sceptic about food stands but stands like this show me how wrong I can be. read more

This is a little hard to find because as it is in the lower level of a nondescript market, however; they have a variety of tasty sushi dishes and a pretty nice ramen as well. The fish was fresh and the prices were quite reasonable. Mind you, sushi wasn't on my mind visiting Spain but I had zero reservations about my decision to dine here once I did. The feel is very authentic in relation to the tiny sushi boxes that you might find in Japan. I would certainly recommend a visit to any of you looking for a pleasant experience. I would rate this place a solid 3.5 if Yelp allowed partial ratings. read more

This's our second time here during the trip in Madrid, food is beyond expectation, totally mind-blowing if you're a sushi lover! compared with other expensive fancy restaurants, the price here is sweet, with the same standard of taste. cooks are all Japanese so I'd assume it's authentic. Definitely a place to visit! read more

Absolutely amazing food. It is a little bit difficult to find because the restaurant is actually inside a market and there might not be enough places to sit however these hurdles don't seem to matter considering the quality of the food here. It's hard for me to think of any other Japanese restaurant that can offer the same level of deliciousness at the same price :) read more

1. Amazing service. Which is mostly the reason why i gave this three star place a four star. 2. Friendly workers 3. Okay food but for the price i gotta say its crappy. I got yakisoba, wouldnt ever go back and get it though. It was just okay. And the sushi was okay i guess. 4. Hidden inside the mercado. You have to go in and go downstairs to find this place tucked away in between all the meat and fish vendors. 5. If you have a weak stomache maybe you should go find somewhere else that wouldnt have meat chopping scenes and fish smell. I didnt mind it if it meant for good food. Plus all the restaurants and cafes inside the mercado have the prettiest interiors and honestly it means that their ingredients are fresh from the markets right next to them. I got a YAKISOBA noddle dish and a couple pieces of sushi. Unfortunately uni is only available in the winter so that wasnt available. The staff are very friendly. Don't be afraid to ask for the wifi password. They speak good English and don't wait for the check, because you go to the cashier to pay. Anyways I am sad to say that the food is not amazing. Maybe I had a high expectations from what people wrote and got too hyped up. read more

A real corner of Japan in the center of Madrid. Yokaloka is located in a small local market Anton Martin and it is in the underground which is very difficult to find for the tourists. It is not advisable for group of more than two or three people. The restaurant is small, it has both a bar and few tables to sit. The sushi and maki are very good, have a good taste for me and it is fresh, I am a Japanese food fan. The sushi are served on a wood tray. The Yakisoba is tasty but the way the cook is not a real Yakisoba taste. The staffs are very friendly. read more

We came here to explore a more local market compared to Mercado San Anton. Having been in Spain for a week already, we were craving Asian food. Our local friend told us that Yokaloka gets really packed at lunch time. Go with whatever fish they recommend. Since seafood in Madrid is awesome, this place is great. read more

I went into Yokaloka with high expectations because of the great reviews both on yelp and on eater, but was so disappointed! The ramen and the sushi were way overpriced for the quality and the taste left much to be desired. The sushi was dry and didn't taste as fresh as it should have. The ramen was fine, but I can get a bowl of equal quality for 1/3 the price in Los Angeles. If you are visiting from a place with decent ramen and sushi, or have traveled to places where you have eaten good ramen and sushi, I would recommend avoid going here. After two weeks in Spain without vegetables and any Asian food, Yokaloka satisfied my craving for noodles, but left me feeling silly for paying so much for mediocre Asian food. read more

Unbelievable menu, fantastic service, and wonderful environment. Ran into several friendly people. Located in and around several other seafood establishments, the market is a haven for any seafood connoisseur! Excellent sushi and in my opinion the best in Madrid...do yourself a favor and make sure you eat here at least once during your stay in Madrid. read more

Yokaloka, thanks a lot for your attention and good time inside your place. Really nice Japanese food, nicely and funny ^_^

Seriously awesome, melt in your mouth sushi and creamy, rich ramen. The restaurant is a booth inside of a large food market called Anton Martin. It's pretty small so you might have to wait if you go at a popular time. We got the California roll and the Fusion roll- 4.60 each for 5 pieces. Super fresh and delicious. Then we got ramen- they always have Wafu ramen which is a fish based broth. In the winter they serve it hot and in the summer cold. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have another type of ramen- Tonkotsu- which is what I had. Pork bone based broth with tender, fatty slice of pork, soft boiled egg, and chewy noodles. Portions aren't huge but along with the sushi it was a very satisfying lunch. Would definitely recommend stopping by, the market itself is also cool and worth checking out!! read more

This place is a real gem in a weird location. The only reason I'm taking a star away is because this place is like a little hut in the middle of a busy market and there's no privacy so the people shopping for oranges can watch you eat. The sushi is really good and fairly priced, especially compared to the other expensive shit sushi in Madrid. I always played it safe and ate a lot of salmon and eel sushi and it was always fresh. First time I went there I made the mistake of ordering a sushi triangle with tuna in it which I obviously thought was going to be raw but it was like tuna salad with mayonnaise. Disgusting. My roommate always had the chicken teriyaki, it was pretty good but sometimes they don't crisp the skin enough. read more

Yokaloka - Freshest sushi in Madrid - Sushi Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

What a great find! Right smack in the middle of a fresh fish/meat market in the Lavapies area. Only 4-small wooden tables and great quality sushi at a very reasonable price! Only little downside was even though restaurant & market were empty, mid-day the waitress did not let me move to a larger table since I was too big for the "single" table which I thought was lame! On the upside my whole lunch was under 29 euros with drink and they don't close for mid-day like a lot of other establishments. Will be coming back for sure. read more

It's inside of Mercado de Antón and if you are alone, there is long table area you can sit, not at the table. Small place but it seems appropriate for Japanese dining. Food was great value considering the quality and price. Compared to other Japanese eateries in Madrid, this place is a bargain. Good maki rolls, daily specials and beer. Highly recommend it. read more

Overall experience matters, not just the food. This place is in a market and is surrounded by the sellers of seafood and meat.. so, I don't really like the atmosphere. There were only few seats which were all taken when I went. There were lots of people waiting for take-out. Eating a plate of sushi is quick but waiting is long. However, the sushi is delicious. A good place for take-out is what I can say. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. This is the best sushi in Madrid! Inside a market near atocha, it can get really crowded, and it doesn't have a lot of seats. So depending on when you go, the wait can be really long. They have an awesome ramen dish only sold on certain days. I think Monday's and Wednesday's read more

Great food! I ordered chirashi sushi and gyoza. Both of them are amazing. I recommend all of you to eat here if you are a Japanese food lover. Their food will please your tastebuds and your tummy well. The place is quite nice also, it feels like that you eat in a Japanese stall. I really like the feeling while I was eating here, though this little stall is surrounded by fish sellers. read more

Yokaloka - Butter fish with black truffle, mackerel of the day and salmon roe. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

The restaurant is inside an old market. The place really looks like a Hawker center in Singapore... in the heart of Madrid! The place serves outstanding sushi at a very decent price. I especially like the tuna maki and the salmon sashimi.Fresh and delicious! The seaweed salad is also among my favorite items: highly recommended! Giozas are just ok. Dinner for two, with 3 beers (Asahi) for around 25€-30€. Unfortunately, the place is teeny-tiny and is usually crowded. Getting a seat there is not easy... read more

Chirashi was pretty good but I got the one with truffle. They should take it down from the menu. Otherwise it was a pretty decent dish. I just paid 4 extra euro for something with no taste. read more

This sushi is a disaster. I threw up later that night after eating here. Not good. A total mess. My friend got the Ramen and said it was the worst he ever had. read more

I really enjoyed the place , coming from someone who likes to eat good sushi even if it's priced expensive . This place was definitely good. 1. Because it was so close to my hotel Catalonia , and 2. For the space it was in ( in the middle of a small market place with minimal space ) it did a great job of attracting customers . I'm sure it happens all the time , but I must have got there right on time , because once I sat down I swear all the seats filled up . It was packed ! The sushi was good . I compared it to authentic Japanese with a kick . I had butterfish nigiri and they added black truffle . That was a must try for sure . They Serve maki however you want it . For example I got the tuna maki and for .60 euro I added cream cheese . It was good ! I recommend this place for anyone who likes sushi . I mean you can get away with the American style rolls , Because they have those too . But if you like nigiri, it's definitely authentic . Chances are if you don't know about sushi really , you'll just order the regular salmon and tuna . Try getting out and try the butter fish , it was great ! read more
