Dajidali — Restaurant in Marbella

Nice Flavors, But the Experience Fell a Bit Short

I visited this Japanese spot for the first time with a friend for a girls’ night out. The atmosphere was simple and relaxed—not particularly special, but comfortable enough. We were excited to try the food and unwind with a bottle of Rosé.

Flavor-wise, everything we ordered tasted good! I had the chicken gyozas and chicken teriyaki. The gyozas were quite tasty, though surprisingly small—probably the tiniest I’ve ever had. The teriyaki had good flavor as well, but the portion was on the smaller side. I was still a bit hungry afterward. My friend ordered sushi, and her rolls were a good size, so perhaps some dishes are more generous than others.

One thing that stood out was the pace of service. It felt a bit rushed, like they were trying to move things along quickly. Toward the end of our meal, we were told we had to vacate the table for a reservation, even though there were a few empty tables and no visible guests waiting. That caught us off guard, especially since we hadn’t quite finished our wine.

Overall, the food was tasty and the place has potential, but the experience felt a little too hurried for a relaxed dinner out. Hopefully just an off night, but I’m not sure I’d be in a...

Fuimos de cena de aniversario, después de varias cenas en su hermano Fujiumi. Lo primero que nos encontramos al llegar, es una mesa pegajosa. Nos dicen que es un producto que han echado y que nos traen unos manteles enseguida. Los manteles que trajeron fueron un par de servilletas de papel (como se puede apreciar en la foto) . Un restaurante de esta categoría y sin un mantel que ponerle a la mesa, empezamos mal…Pedimos la cena , no sin antes encontrarnos que no disponían de varios platos de la carta. Nos traen los primeros nigiris y SORPRESA, el chef ha decidido poner Wasabi ( y no poco ) escondido entre el arroz y el pescado. No nos gusta el picante y no tiene porque gustarle a todo el mundo, de ahí que siempre se ponga aparte, al menos en todos los Japos que hemos visitado, que son muchos y de diferente nivel. Llamamos a la camarera y preguntamos porque no nos han avisado y tampoco se avisa en la carta. Nos dicen que el chef así los ha puesto siempre, pero en mi visita un mes antes pedí los mismos nigiris y no lo llevaban, por lo que o mienten o cada cocinero saca los platos como le parece. En fin , nos arruinaron la cena sin más explicación de porque no fueron capaces de ofrecer lo que pedíamos , que era bien simple. Ni un gesto en la cuenta, ni por supuesto repitieron las piezas de sushi ( las sacaron de nuevo” limpiando” el groso del picante y por lo tanto estropeando la pieza a nuestro parecer. Seguiremos siendo fieles a Fujiumi, mucha mejor atención, servicio y calidad de...

I have eaten here twice recently and I was previously a novice with Japanese food. It helps to have someone with you therefore with a sound knowledge of the cuisine. The food is exquisite. It is beautifully presented and served to your pace and the flavours and tastes are out of this world. The staff are truly wonderful and pamper you from start to finish. They are happy to offer sound advice. Yes you will pay just a little more but it is so so worth the...
