We went on a Friday afternoon, it wasn’t busy at all so we were seated immediately. The art on the walls is nice. If you’re American don’t expect American service — our waiter was very direct and curt. We ordered the arroz fritas con pollo (chicken fried rice) and the yakisoba gambas (shrimp fried noodles).

When I say I was so happy to FINALLY have some flavorful Asian food out here !!! My noodles were to perfection and my partner enjoyed his fried rice very much. It’s a good amount of food per person too; if we weren’t staying in a hotel without a microwave I would’ve asked for a to-go box. I didn’t get to try their ramen which seems to be their main dish, but I tend to be pretty picky about my ramen. It seemed like other folks were enjoying the ramen so maybe I’ll try it next time. I’m just grateful to have had some noodles that reminded me of home :)

Long story short:
1. FAKE ramen (Instant noodle quality)
2. Problematical business ethics (The price of some item is different form the final bill and the menu)
3. Subpar service (didn’t even bring napkins to the table)

The long story:

First, I reserved my table via the app TheFork with a 30% off promo on “A La Carte” items. When I stepped into the restaurant, only 2 guys sitting at a table with a bottle of wine.

Then I was seated by the older waitress (looks like the owner). After checking their menu, I ordered Pimento Padron and Miso Ramen Shoyu. Also, I asked her if they have wine, I would like to have a glass. Clearly she doesn’t speak English, so she asked the younger waitress to help me order. The other waitress confirmed that they have wine and I asked her point it out on the menu for me, which reads 1.5 euros per glass.

The first dish served was Pimento Padron, which is on par with other restaurants I had tried for the past two days. Followed by the ramen I ordered, upon the look of it, I instantly had a feeling — “instant noodle”. The taste of the broth further verified my initial suspicions - artificial soup base. Not to mention the fake hot spring egg - tasteless hot water boiled egg with the almost solid yolk. But somehow I finished them including the glass of red wine.

Now it came to the sketchy part:

After I asked the younger waitress for my bill, the older waitress started soliciting a desert menu: Handcrafted Mochi. I was thinking since it’s 30% off, I’ll try one. So I ordered a green Mochi, which I confirmed with the old waitress that it is 4.5 euros per one (there is NO pricing on the Mochi menu). But she did NOT mention that the 30% off promo doesn’t apply to the Mochi menu.

I finished my Mochi and asked for my final bill. To my surprise, the glass of wine now costs 3 euros instead of 1.5 euros as the younger waitress confirmed with me. I asked the old waitress why it is different. She was explaining it in Spanish that I couldn’t understand. Eventually I paid the bill and left.

Now all the 5 stars reviews here are questionable to me.

Excellent Service and food, really good quality/price. The place is super well decorated, not too excessive, the food is really fresh, from the entrance to the Ramen.

I dont understand how this resturant doesn't get more reviews. We found this place by accident and had a great meal. Very good prices and everything was very delicious. We ordered ramen soups and just needed to add some spicy and salt. highly recommended!
