If you're on the hunt for a spot with a fantastic atmosphere and exceptional service, Kibuka is worth a visit. The waitstaff are incredibly attentive, ensuring that you have everything you need for a comfortable dining experience.
That said, the food is a bit of a letdown, especially considering the price point. We sampled a variety of items, including the salmon sushi and Philadelphia cheese tempura. While these dishes were good, they didn't stand out as anything special. The shrimp tempura served with a unique duck egg sauce was a highlight, but even that couldn't make up for the overall lackluster culinary experience.
In summary, Kibuka excels in creating a welcoming atmosphere and providing excellent service but falls short in delivering a meal that matches the high cost. If ambiance and service are your top priorities, you'll enjoy your time here. Just keep your food...

Venue: 5/5 Love the venue from their tables to their lighting. Reminds me of when my husband and I visited Japan. I’m also quite sure the sushi chef is Japanese along with several chefs in the back.
Service: 5/5 Always checked on us and food came out fairly quickly.
Food: Spicy Ramen 11.55€: 3/5 Was a bit disappointed with this ramen. Broth was fine but it was the pork that was a bit tough and the noodles were a bit more mushy rather than chewy/ al dente. The ramen egg was cooked perfectly but the flavor was quite acidic which isn’t typical for almost all the ramens I’ve had.
Menta-uramaki 8.90€: 5/5 Weird as it may sound, this salmon avocado with a mint sauce on top was actually my fav dish.
Kiwi teka-maki 8.25€: 4/5 The kiwi is a nice touch but was expecting more from this tropical roll.

Read moreThis hidden Japanese gem in Poblenou is just fantastic. It is easily one of the best sushi restaurants I've gone to. The interior has interesting mix of rustic walls with neon lights which makes you feel cozy and energetic at the same time. The staff is very friendly. The menu is large and varied. Just for reference, we ordered meat gyozas (5 out of 5), aburi uramaki (5 out of 5), a couple of spicy maguro tempura (5 out of 5), rainbow uramaki (5 out of 5) and kibura uramaki (5 out of 5). Everything was so fresh and delicious. The price was fair having into account the quality of the food. Overall, I think the service quality was great and I'll...
