KAEDE — Restaurant in Seville

Beware of purse snatching/Theft at this restaurant. My husband and I were in Seville and we stupidly ate at this empty restaurant on January 24,2024 at 830pm. The fact that there was no one in there should have been the first hint. We were tired of eating French and Spanish food so we thought to change it up a bit and have Japanese. Because it was empty, the waiter told us to “sit anywhere”. We chose a small two person table against the wall. My momentary lapse of common sense, I mistakenly removed my crossbody bag and hung it up on back of my chair. Since there was no one in the restaurant but the two of us I would have never thought that the wait STAFF would be the THIEF. My husband gave me his baseball cap to put around the strap of my bag. The warning or second hint was when the waiter brought water to the table, instead of walking up and putting it in the middle of the table he reached around me behind my back to put the water on the table. In hindsight, this was the time of the THEFT. Thank goodness I removed my phone from purse otherwise I would not have received the texts messages that my credit and bank cards had been charged nearly $5000 USD during dinner nor had the phone numbers to be able to call my credit card/bank card. Upon receiving these texts I realized my purse had been stolen. I did have an AirTag in my purse that showed it was still in the restaurant. There was noone there that could have stolen it and ran off such that the AirTag would show movement outside or away from the restaurant. I notified the manager who insisted it must have the food delivery people who had been in the restaurant. Not possible! 1) they were never near me and 2) the AirTag never left the restaurant. We asked to call the police but the manager said that they would not come and we had to go file a report at the police station. During this time, my husband was walking up and down the restaurant which the AirTag showed it was in the present location and then mysteriously the AirTag was disabled. I admit I made a huge stupid mistake by removing my purse off of my body and trusting what appeared to be a decent Japanese restaurant with white linen table cloths and chopsticks with porcelain holders. Please BE AWARE and AVOID this restaurant. I don’t want my mistake to happen to...

On my way to an tapas/flamenco evening I impulsively decided to eat here instead. I went back the next evening because of the food and overall ambiance of the place. I was at first attracted by the tasteful set up, noticed from outside. The atmosphere is calm. Fresh flowers decorate the tables. The staff (Ms Klara, Ms Xan/ Chiang) were very attentive. I made the staff aware that I am slightly allergic to certain type of food. When ordering I also immediately decided to skip eating shasimi type food. It can be a hit and miss in warm countries (embarrassing Hong Kong memory). I asked to not rush the courses. Evening 1: Hiyayakko/ Ensalada Frutas, Yasmin Tempura/Tempura Verdura, two portions (4 pieces) Unagi/ Anguilla or Eels, Udon Chicken, Agua Mineral, a glas of Vino Blanco Oroya Sushi (Spain produced wine for Japanese food). At the end I was offered Sencha tea. Evening 2: Kaiso Salad, Moriawase Tempura, Sushi Atun Spicy, Ramen Schrimp, Vino Blanco (not Oroya) two Aqua Mineral, Sencha tea before and after my meal. Lesson learned after dinening at Kaede. Order Sencha before(, during) and at the end of the dinner. Go for Oroya above any other Vino Blanco. Udon or Ramen is a stand alone meal. Udon needed to be spiced up (ask for the chili oil jar). Their Ramen Shrimp is to die for, full...

It seems like this Japanese restaurant is run by Chinese owners. We went there for dinner without any plans, since we had already eaten a lot earlier. But the place looked so fancy that we couldn’t just pass by. The atmosphere was good, and the staff was friendly (at first). I wanted to order Udon, but the staff discouraged me, saying it's no good (then they shouldn't have udon in the menu). So I ended up having Ramen, which honestly didn’t taste like real Japanese ramen. So I almost left the food and asked for the bill. Suddenly, one of the staff came over and seemed to complain to other staff about the leftover... Whether I eat it or not has nothing to do with them. Experience with this restaurant was the worst during my Spain trip and they really should try THE REAL Japanese food. BTW the fried...
