Casa 887 Jatetxea

Casa 887. We visited this (Michelin guide) place as most (if not all) of the Michelin star/s restaurant were closed due to winter/ public holiday. The atmosphere was actually nice with lots of art works. The menu are mostly fusion (Asian and Basque/ Spanish). We ordered the following: - Tempura shrimp bao. The shrimps tempura were fresh and seasoned and fried perfectly (not oily). Combined with the black bao, this dish was outstanding 4.9 star - Bluefin Red tuna tiradito. The tuna was sliced very thinly and very fresh. The yuzu sauce really enhanced the flavor to next level. We really love this dish. 4.9 stars - Black truffle carbonara. The carbonara sauce and truffle were actually nice. The pasta however was abit too hard and starchy. 4.2 stars - Crispy pork gyoza. This dish was absolutely delicious and very friendly to Asian taste. 4.9 stars - suckling lamb shoulder/ cordero. They were using young lamb. The meat was so tender and was braised for 18 hours. 4.8 stars Our problem with the service where the interval for next dishes (especially for the last 2) was too long. It took more than 1 hour to serve 5 dishes. So much so, it feels like the server forgot with our orders. Other than this, the restaurant was very discipline in replacing plates and utensils. All in all, we rate this place 4.8 /5.0 stars.

I recently tried the tasting menu and overall had a great experience. The standout dish for me was the Galician spider crab, absolutely exceptional in both flavor and texture. The tempura shrimp bao with sriracha-honey mayo was another highlight, bursting with flavor in every bite. I paired the menu with a crianza, which complemented the dishes very well. For the main course, I chose the red prawn from Huelva, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The only element I found slightly overwhelming was the sauce that accompanied the bomba rice; it was a bit too strong and overshadowed some of the more delicate flavors. The atmosphere was excellent, and the customer service was attentive and sufficient throughout the evening. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with some truly memorable dishes.

We were looking for a upscale spot that leaned more casual, and Casa 887 Jatetxea was perfect. Absolutely loved everything we ordered — the spider crab, old cow prime rib and flan were the standouts!

We tried four dishes - bao with tempura shrimp, xxl carabinero, cod with crispy potatoes and stuffed spider crab. Definitely recommended carabineros (which are difficult to fault) and stuffed spider crab. Bao with tempura shrimp and cod didn’t live to our expectations. Their olives served as amuse bouche were amazing! A glass of champagne for €20 felt a bit overpriced. Overall good experience but not with all plates.

The most amazing dining experience we've had in a long time. The food is incredible here. Definitely try the Red Tuna Nigiri. If I could have that as a main course that would be the definition of heaven. The service and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. There was one USA couple that started causing a scene halfway through but the staff handled them respectfully and politely so it didn't disturb the other diners. Another interesting dish to try is the Tempura Shrimp Bao, how do they make the bao bun black?! Delicious.

We were 8 adults and 2 small kids. The food was delicious, especially the tona , the rice and the meat. The wine we ordered was the best we had in a long time…

I loved the experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is very pleasant, creating a cozy and enjoyable ambiance. The service was excellent, with an attentive and professional team. The food is delicious, fresh, and features authentic dishes that reflect great care in preparation. The tuna dishes were my favorites, and the sashimi was one of the best I have ever had in my life. The restaurant offers an excellent selection of wines, which perfectly complements the dining experience. I definitely recommend it!
