Marcos ADecember 23, 2018Book in advance. Mixture of a Japanese tavern and Western cuisine. The grilled porcini risotto onigiri and the Can Kenji burger w/ foie are incredible, but everything is top-notch. Uncomfy seats.Upvoted 1 week ago
Francesco MariniSeptember 2, 2019Amazing food. The tuna tataki is perfect, the green tea and Bailey’s tiramisù is fantastic and everyone is extremely nice. Eat at the kitchen counter for an even more authentic izakaya experience.
Julia OsoMarch 29, 2015One of the better sushi experiences in Barcelona. Staff is super nice, pricing is reasonable. They had a special tuna type on offer that day & recommended we tried it: everything with it was amazing.
- Constance | @croostifoodiNovember 29, 2018Good nigiris, although toro was slightly chewy and sea urchin was a bit “liquid”. Matcha tiramisu is good. Need to try their cooked dishes to make a strong opinion. Rather simple venue, nice service.

Cristina OlmoJanuary 12, 2018Tuna tataki a must. Duck amazing, perfect sushi and incredible green tea tiramisu... excellent quality-price.
- Urbane International Real EstateMarch 24, 2018It's well known we like anything sea urchin so here ask for the uni tamaki. It's not on the menu but it's soooo good.
- Urbane International Real EstateMarch 24, 2018The eel is tender "melt-in-the-mouth" food with exquisite raw squid and of course sea urchin.
- Escott HayashidiazDecember 7, 2015The Can Kenji burger with foie gras is very tasty. Also try teir salmorejo tataki, a nice blend of Japanese and Spanish cuisines.
AlistairJanuary 22, 2014Make a reservation in advance. For a small place it can get full quickly. The choice of food and atmosphere feels like you're in Japan.
Костя ТарасовMay 20, 2017Terrific, authentic Japanese food. Everything was beyond delicious. Best price/quality ratio in the city. Reserve ahead.
This place is on another level compared to many restaurants. I simply adore the sushi menu, but they have much much more to offer!
Sara BlackshireAugust 30, 2013Great food and service. We tried things recommended by other people on foursquare, all delicious! reserve a table, because it is tiny and very busy!

Enric AlsinaMarch 24, 2012Espectacular! Everything's delicious! Onigiri de Risotto de Sureny (porcini)..mmmm! I'll be back! #Japan #NotOnlySushi- Urbane International Real EstateMarch 24, 2018Quality sashimi, salmon that is smooth and fresh. Enjoy!
Roberto ArganeseMarch 13, 2015Great food, Japanese as it should be! Try the Tataki with Tuna and Guacamole! Or the rice triangle
Lívia NeffaNovember 20, 2015good, but not excellent. i don't understand why this restaurant has such a high rating on foursquare, really!
Antoine PrieurNovember 9, 2014Everything is good! Do not leave without trying the green tea tiramisu. Foodgasm guaranteed!
Carmelo ZappullaOctober 17, 2014Tuna tataki, spicy fish salad, anchovies tempura and Udon with Clamps! Great plates!!!
- Roberto ArganeseMarch 13, 2015Amazing Japanese food, simple but yet original! Not to forget great service!
Andrew B.June 3, 2014Excellent Japanese-Catalan fusion restaurant. Somewhat small and often full, so you may want to book in advance.- Best to make a reservation, this place fills up quickly around lunchtime.
Maciej MołdachJuly 9, 2015Great tuna, although the place didn't wow me as much as I expected from the fabulous reviews.
Jökull Sólberg AuðunssonJuly 18, 2014Three course tasting menu. Probably one of the better meals I've had.
Patryk PeszkoSeptember 2, 2011One of the best Japanese restaurants in town. Highly recommended. Try onigiri :)
I like this place so much that I don't want anyone to know it 😜
