Wagara Restaurante Japonés — Restaurant in Madrid

This is my love letter to Wagara restaurant.

To put some perspective, I worked in 6-star resorts (private airplanes) and eat all sorts of the 2/3-star food often.

There is nothing quite like Wagara. It truly is very, very special. I like it more than Michelin places.

The food is so, so good. They could charge 4x as much and it would feel totally OK (but of course I am happy they don't).

You get cared for. It's like you eat in someone's living room, with the same care and affection, but then with insanely good food. I think right now it has a 4.8 on Google and it's definitely earned that. Every place in the city center with this rating is full every night, but with Wagara, you can often just get a table.

And it's better than anything Madrid center has to offer.

Good taste in music, too. Nujabes and other classics.

Delicious, caring, real, family-style. Authentic. The staff are lovely.

Most places you pay 20 euros for a shitty sushi roll, here you pay 10 and your life is changed through flavor.

I love this place.

PS about my photos, of course the plates are full when they serve but I take a photo after I've already taken a bite because I just instinctively put the stuff in my...

The restaurant does not have the right attitude for Japanese food but charge a high price. I ordered Ramen, to my surprise, they use instant noodles and change me almost 18 euros for it. The noodle soup also very plain and it is nothing special. Why I should spend 18 euros for a 2 euro instant noodle? The reviews looks fake. Be careful of their price and food. I would suggest this restaurant to use the real fresh noodles...

Very pleased to have discovered this restaurant. I usually don't take photos but everything was presented very beautifully and together with great service and humbling warming experience we have enjoyed a lot our experience. Very traditional japanese restaurant... Hope to visit again soon. All plate concepts were amazing especially the 'decontructed sukiyaki' main plate. Thank...
