TOYO — Restaurant in Fuengirola

I visited this place with my wife. I liked the food but unfortunately one staff member was very rude with us.

The lady in question had dark hair, was medium build, with facial hair and in her forties. I would avoid her at all costs! She was probably the owner or manager, I think she was upset with how much we ordered but to be honest it wasn’t that much food and it’s meant to be all you can eat. If you’re unhappy with your customers ordering food don’t make it an all you can eat. We were having a really nice time aswell until her rude behaviour.

When we were paying she was making comments and looking at us and laughing. The whole experience was very degrading. My wife had an eating disorder before so she found it very triggering. We were very upset and went for a few drinks around places close by we talked about what we experienced.

The local staff members and locals are familiar with her. They said she’s known to be mean and even the other staff at Toyo talk badly about her and are embarrassed by her behaviour.

Also to note they don’t speak English and don’t have English menus. Maybe this is intentional to stop foreign customers coming in. This is bizarre not to have English speaking staff members or menus considering Fuengirola is a tourist destination!

The other staff members working there seemed nice, the food was good and came out quickly. I was planning on having my birthday party there the following night but their behaviour put me off and also told the party about them and they were disgusted by their behaviour.

I would recommend to them to be more friendly and accommodating to English speaking customers and also not to shame their customers. I also think this woman should not be allowed to deal customers at all, she had a horrible attitude and left us with a very bad experience. We love to support businesses so it’s upsetting to have to write this :( I hope they change! This place has good...

We booked a table 19:00 but a small hassle when I noticed that opening hours were 19:30-23:30 and they didn’t answer to phone nor sms, they had the break between lunch and dinner services so okay, kinda acceptable.

We took the buffet libre for all. Food I ordered was great, mostly focusing on sashimi, ceviche, tataki and grilled langostinis which were all awesome. Some of our group mentioned that they would have hoped a bit more wider menu, some similar type of restaurants do offer also mussels, frog legs, lamb chops. And some makis were maybe a little bit dry but nothing dramatic. Good overall quality and selection.

One thing to maybe notice, if you take the buffet libre and you order for example fried rice; it’s not a small portion, it’s a huge plate full of fried rice. Quite often in these buffet libre ones the portions ordered are smaller so you can order and taste more different foods. Especially when there’s the 3e fine for every...

Una decepción total. Somos muy aficionados a los buffet de sushi (y los hemos probado absolutamente todos los de la ciudad) y quisimos ir por la fama que el local ha estado cogiendo por los vídeos etc, y nada que ver. Muchos platos llevan la misma salsa por encima que mata el sabor de la pieza de sushi, por lo que parece que estás comiendo lo mismo.

El arroz pastoso y pegajoso en demasía (hasta el punto de quedarse pegadas las piezas entre sí y desmontarse al intentar cogerlas), y una cantidad de arroz brutal para las porciones tan pequeñas de pescado. Las fotos se asemejan a la realidad en que llevan los mismos ingredientes, pero cuando te llega tienes que intuirlo porque apenas tiene relleno.

No te avisan de que el sashimi es limitado, por no hablar de que te ponen supuestamente 4 piezas (a mi me vinieron 3), y de unas dimensiones ridículas. Tuve que pedir hasta 4 veces el mismo plato (tartar de salmón) y me decían que estaría en camino y que vendrían los 4. Al cabo casi de 1h después de pedir el primero, se lo vuelvo a repetir y me dice el chico que no ha visto salir ninguno y “creía que no había”. Si vas a un local a dejarte un dinero por X productos y te limitan el consumo del sashimi sin decírtelo previamente ni te dicen que no hay tartar de salmón, que quizás es de los mejores platos que podría haber viendo lo que vi después… pues vamos mal.

La tempura tiene una textura crujiente y buena pero a mi gusto se hacía muy pesada y aceitosa, además de que muchas de las piezas ya incluían los langostinos rebozados dentro y acabamos un poco saturados del sabor.

Las bebidas templadas por no decir casi calientes, y eso que éramos de las primeras mesas de la noche al ir pronto.

Nos sentaron en una mesa casi en la esquina con el bar de al lado, pero bueno, nos tocó y sin más. El servicio bastante lento y descontrolado, hasta el chico nos preguntó si estaban tardando mucho y si se veía mala organización y tuvimos una charla amena con él porque notaba que éramos agradables con ellos pero estábamos muy descontentos tanto con la comida como con los tiempos y el servicio.

Al final salvamos un poco la noche pidiendo los langostinos a la plancha y el “entrecot”, si es que se puede llamar así, porque era un filete de ternera. Todo sea dicho, estos platos si que estaban buenos. Eso si, te sirven el filete sin cuchillo ni tenedor, y si no me llego a levantar a por unos todavía estoy allí esperando.

No quisimos probar postre después de todo porque se nos quitó hasta el hambre de la desgana provocada por tanto contratiempo.

En conclusión, no volveremos ni lo recomendaremos. Ir a un buffet y volverte con hambre dice mucho. Seguiremos yendo a la competencia, donde las piezas vienen mejor proporcionadas y además...
