    If you've had real asian food before please don't come here. A weird mix of asian fusion tapas... it would be best to stick to traditional Spanish Tapas. Too expensive for a strange array of food. Rice and noodle dishes are not good, grilled meat skewers are served with overly sweet or salty sauces. Please avoid.

    I came here with my partner on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was extremely quiet so we were able to get a table right away. The overall service was slightly slow, and the food was just okay. One dish that stood out to me was the ramen...It stood out to me because it was not what I expected in a ramen. They used really thin rice noodles, the broth tasted like home made Chinese soup, and the meat choice was odd. The other tapas we ordered were mediocre. The skewers were tiny and overpriced. The crispy pork bao didn't actually have crispy pork in it. We even confirmed this with the waitress to make sure it was the right order. Overall, I think there are opportunities to create a fusion menu that's more tasteful. Stick to more traditional Spanish restaurants if you're looking for tapas.

    Nice place and good service. Like the idea they put ice and beer in the middle of the table. Highly recommend the red tuna. Other things are good, too. Except the ramen is not real ramen that's kinda sad.

    Great Izakaya! The spot is cool, the decor is really nice and the staff is friendly. On the food side, the eggplant and duck confit were amazing! My only disappointment was that the food lacks of kicks and I found a small rock in a plate for which I almost break a tooth. Besides that, I strongly recommend it.

    This place was okay. Nothing really special and if you're a tourist, I suggest to try something else and not make the same mistake as I did. I mean the food was decent although it didn't really stand out or gave a lasting impression. It's just a weird combination of Spanish and Asian cuisine.

    In Madrid and really have not found the perfect gem. Good place. Good tapas. Bad service. Maybe because I'm American the service wasn't what I expected. If your ok with a tapas bar and typical beer then good place. If your looking for a full meal I suggest walking down the street a little more. Four stars for the food and menu.

    A nice change of pace from the traditional Spanish food found in Madrid. Still heavily Spanish influenced Japanese fusion. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend sharing as each skewer is only about two to three pieces on average, similar to a tapas style. My personal favorites of the night was the eggplant tempura, artichoke Au gratin, crispy sweet and sour chicken, and the grilled banana w peanuts and toffee.

    Very nice place! Went here expecting small Japanese restaurant but it's very huge restaurant that doesn't have Japanese style atmosphere(?). Great foods and friendly staffs. Interior is so neat and cool too. Would recommend this place to everyone!

    Beers from this local to other choices.

    Nice lunch here. They have tapas that are one or two pieces from the grill and a variety of other items. Always good to reserve in Madrid but we snuck in just before the rush. We selected from the fish, chicken and pork sections. You sit down and there are beers chilling in buckets of ice set into the table. You can stash your backpack or purse in a stool next to the table with a lid. It's a cool atmosphere, trendy and the waitstaff wears green jumpsuits while music plays and you can write on the walls. Food was good and comes in waves so you have time to relax and eat.

    you're served your beer almost immediately

    Overrated overpriced and fake. Not tacky at all. Just skip and go to the Lobby Market. Try the octopus it s a delight.

    Asian street food inspired restaurant by Dabiz Muñoz, owner of Diverxo, the #4 restaurant in the…read moreworld. No reservations. Located inside a mall. Arrived 15 min before opening and there was already a line. Made it in on the first seating which was great. Was asked to visit their bar first as they slowly made their way through bringing people in to the restaurant to dine. Felt pressured ot order a drink, which I didn't really want to, so I didn't like this flow of entry to bar, to restaurant. Fortunately the drinks were tasty and very theatrical. Was eventually escorted into the restaurant. Seating is like a giant oval around an open kitchen. Energy is electric, loud, stimulating. Almost feels like your dining outside in a street food alley with neon signs everywhere. The food consisted of fusion and/or modern interpretations of street food classics from across Asia, and other parts of the world too. Highlights for us included the crudo japo-mexican de salmon and chili crab concha blanda. We did find that there was a high degree of citrus and thought that the tako de pulpo was a bit too acidic. For the bun cha shawarma, the noodles were okay but the beef burger and crispy Vietnamese rolls were yummy.

    Shout out to my Yelper, Regis K., for recommending this spot. It made for a memorable night…read more I love the nightclub scene and this place offers that kind of ambience. The Techno music is loud so just be aware of that. I loved it and couldn't stop dancing in my seat. It is first come first serve. Regis told me to go as soon as they opened. Even then, we got one of the last seatings by the bar where all the action is. It was so much fun seeing all the chefs and sous chefs shouting and working in harmony. Our server was amazing in recommending many of the dishes and drinks. I also got a kick out of their cool straight jacket chef's attire. One word to describe the food here; it is very avant-garde (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Singapore). Our favorite dish of the night was the Vieira Asada (scallop with a green sauce). Honestly, I don't think you will go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Love how they describe each dish as they present it to you. I also never had the bartender come by and take the time to describe the drink in great detail. Truly an amazing unique meal from start to finish. I do recommend that you get a bit dressed up. And don't forget to take a fun selfie on the leather cushion swings. 10/10 Experience
