"We've ordered ramen, chicken and mushroom gyoza, tempura, the koi specialty rice dish and matcha cheesecake. To start, we never expect we can find any authentic Japanese food here in Barcelona unless you're ready to pay for a very expensive price. With that in mind, we are not surprised the ramen tasted like instant noodles, the broth is plain and the noodle is too tender. However, the dishes that followed were surprisingly delightful. First, the gyoza had a slight hint of lemon grass which made it very flavorful, I almost thought I was having a Nepali momo. Tempura had a very crispy batter which lasted till our last dish. The koi rice (I forgot its name on the menu). It was rice mixed with sashimi seasoned with goma sauce (Japanese sweet sesame sauce) and top with fish roe and spring onion. I should say, it is delicious, though it didn't taste like Japanese food, but it was pleasant. Matcha cheesecake was so so, it was very small and served upside-down in a little jar, the strawberry jam in the middle had over powered the matcha at the bottom, it wasn't worth order. Overall experience was good, we love the waitress that attended our table, food was nice, family friendly if you go at off peak (before 2pm)."
