Nakashita Born — Restaurant in Barcelona

Bad service, strange waitress: I asked for the wine list and instead she insisted on bringing out and showing me 6 bottles of wine which she didn’t know the price of so she had to go and find the wine list instead… No napkins on any table (literally every table asked for napkins when they started eating, why not just put them out??) no paper towels in the tiny toilet which you get to bypassing through their tiny messy bar area. The food was mediocre at best with the sushi rolls especially looking like they were prepared by an amateur chef. The tuna and scallop sashimi dish looked like it was cut and assembled by a child. For the price we paid, €100 dinner for 2 with wine, there are certainly better options for sushi in town. We won’t go back and we would...

I had dinner in the restaurant once before and the service was mediocre at best but the sushi was decent. So I decided to try take away this time. I called the restaurant but they wouldn’t take an over-the-phone order and told me to use their online ordering system. So I did. At the end of your order you can choose a pick-up time slot (I chose 45-60 min later).

There are a lot of good sushi restaurants in Barcelona, and I suggest you find...

It has been a long time not tasting such good japanese food in Barcelona. We liked the experience end2end: service, atmosphere and -especially- the food.

We were on Tuesday for lunch. It is true there was no one else so we got all the attention from a service, so no complaints.

Although there is a day menu for 15€ we choose a la carte. To be fair, I don't feel the day menu is enough for mid-grown adult.

Everything was delicious: from their very special edamame to the fried crad and all the rolls in between. Dessets were limited buy pretty good too.

The only pain-point is that it is quite expensive. Anyway, worth the experience.
