Noe — Restaurant in Mariscal Sucre

We came here for dinner as we wanted sushi and we saw it had very good reviews. The service was really good. However, the sushi was... OK. We ordered a tuna tataki and we got a kind of tuna sashimi.. we know tataki varies from place to place, but given the width of the tuna pieces and the fact that it appeared to be seared in the menu photo, it made no sense to just get totally uncooked tuna with lime and soy sauce... We ordered 4 rolls and we only actually enjoyed one of them. The others were just overly fried and bland, including the supposedly 'best seller' one. It is a pity because they did sound very interesting in the menu, but I feel like if you want to be creative with sushi, you gotta at least get the basis totally covered. The cherry on top was getting the bill and realizing my partner's 330 ml beer bottle...

Over priced sushi place. The food was not bad but disappointing (see below). The mod surreal part was the Sapporo beer which, while not on the menu, they sell at $13 per unit (ie more than the cocktails!), which in Ecuador is an insane price.

The tuna tataki was not seared and quite bland. Then we took 4 types of hot/ cold “sushi”, and we trusted the waiters and took 3 of those being somewhat fried. First it was way too much, you really don’t need all that for two. Second it was quite bland and greasy.

Overall the pictures on the menu are quite confusing: it doesn’t actually look like that (which I guess is always the case with this type of pictures menu but this was supposed to be fancier so it was weird).

Price for two with 1 cocktail and 1...

Worst sushi experience I’ve had my entire life. The „tempura“ was a Floppy piece of rice with unidentifiable pieces of fish, the decoration and setup of the sushi itself was without a clear plan and the other rolls tasted bland. I’d rather buy sushi in a supermarket than paying these entirely unjustified prices here.

Service was ok until one waiter would keep explaining that the ALREADY INCLUDED 10% tip are shared amongst 40 people and being very intrusive in asking for additional tip. Would not leave our table before.

All this accompanied by a nice game of soccer on tv (fine dining right here ladies and gentlemen) as well as a Sound System with a hiccup playing...
