Restaurante Japonés - AOTA SUSHI MARBELLA — Restaurant in Marbella

The restaurant is situated in a quiet location with a few other eateries nearby, including a sushi place right next to a ramen spot in Marbella.

The interior is simply designed with an attempt to evoke a Japanese aesthetic, but it lacks an authentic touch.

Now, let's talk about the service. It was extremely slow, with staff avoiding eye contact to bypass providing service. Despite being busy, the service quality was very poor. Additionally, there is a frustrating policy that allows only five orders per person at a time, and you must finish those before ordering more. This results in long waiting periods between orders, causing patrons to feel full and order less. Moreover, everyone is required to order a drink, or they add an extra euro to the bill.

Although they claim to offer sashimi, the pieces are disappointingly small, less than 2cm each.

In terms of food freshness and quality compared to back home in Canada, the sushi rates a 4/5, but the service drags the experience down to a 2/5.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant due to the excessive wait times, restrictive ordering policy, and poor service, which significantly detract from the...

Very good service friendly and they also do all you can eat buffet. Nice atmosphere quality prices. The staff wear masks... If your sitting outside you have a nice view of the street, especially when it's hot you get a nice breeze of air. What ever you order you need to finish otherwise your charged extra for waste of food. They do sushi, dumplings, tampura and even sea weed... The soft drinks are very generous they do big bottles. The wine here is also good and highly recommendable. If your driving there's a private parking area and also on the street. The tables are cleaned after each customer. Reservation is recommended they tend to be full for lunch & dinner so book ahead. Or try turning up and see your luck. If your a big group I advice you to book in advance. At the moment there's no menu at hand, you need to bring your phone and use the bar code scanner to download your menu. They have a nice bar & lots of liquor to choose from. Nice ambience unfortunately no music in the back ground ... The wasabi & ginger is very fresh. They also have toothpicks once you...

So we read all the good reviews and the we read the last one, which was bad, but we didn't want to belive it therefore we went here. We love sushi and had it in a lot of places all around the world. There will always be a difference between all you can eat and a-la-carte which is understandable. What we could not understand here though is why they are making the rolls so small. I mean, it's all you can eat anyway, why do you make it small and ruin the experience if you will spend the same amounts on fish anyway. You can make them nicer and bigger and people will order less right? Anyway, the quality of the fish is medium, rolls are small, they don't look the same as in the menu at all but they were ok. Soy sauce could be better quality, we felt like it was diluted with water. Serving was nice and quick. There is room to...
