SHAN Restaurant Japonès — Restaurant in Blanes

I have been here a few times over the course of a week and have tried different options. Overall the food is okay... There are some good options, some okay and some bland/boring ones.

I can see other tables were waiting for a long time too, and I felt sorry because at least we got our first plate and we...

“Menu of the day” at under €15 including drinks is really good value.

The problem is the service. We are in the month of August which could be the problem. All the servers are student who haven’t had any training. There is no team work.

The quality and taste of the food is very good. It is worth the wait if you can get anyone to pay attention to you. We were sitting across the road at the sea front which is where everyone sits...
