Umiko Restaurante Japonés Fusión

Excellent restaurant, focused on Spanish cuisine with Japanese techniques. Do not miss the Nigiri Socarrat with Shrimp and Mussels with Umiko Sauce, even though Tuna Bolognese looks tempting, Skip it, is not worthy. Look closely to the check since the waiter added 7 extra champagne cups in ours that we did not ask for. Excelent atmosphere and design

Interesting Japanese fusion. Some plates were a small representation of bigger plates like arroz a la cubana and very delicious although we had a hard time with the waiters due to some of them not even remembering the ingredients that each plate had or mistaking plates and giving them to other customers more than once. We spotted the waiters standing and talking quite a few times while we had asked for the bill and had to wait half an hour to receive it and waiting the same or longer to be served as well. Me and my partner left very much later than we intended to due to these inconveniences. Overall good food but poor service.

Really good and interesting restaurant. This is a true fusion restaurant. Meaning that the chef clearly knows a lot about Japanese and Spanish cuisine and is able to mix them both in creative and delicious ways. The nigiris were great. It is on the expensive side and the portions are small so you need to order more. The dining room decor is OK, nothing outstanding.

I had the chance to sit on the bar and chat with the chefs. They’re great guys and their talent is unique, full on creativity here. I was unsure about the fusion tag to be honest, but the concept works, and works great actually. It’s not cheap, specially if you go nuts on Sake like our party did. But worth the visit if you’re into quality omakase and sushi in good sushi in general. The quality of the ingredients is top notch. Good and friendly staff. Overall a great experience.

If you want to get some of the best nigiris you'll ever taste, this is the place to be. I would strongly encourage sitting at the bar, as you see the cooks working their magic. They are very friendly and keen to help you with your order. Also, they do have quite a few nigiris outside of the menu. We got the fatty tuna with Wagyu fat that was to die for. They have a good variety of dishes, although we focused heavily on the fusion nigiris, which tends to be our preference. You can't really go wrong with anything, in fact you might need to repeat a few of them. The place is quite nice, although maybe not as fancy as something like Sushi 99. However, in terms of experience, sitting at the bar is hard to beat. It's a strong contender for best sushi in Madrid.

Food is very delicious and unique. Definitely quality food and well prepared. The place is clean and the ambiance is cool. It's would be a good place for a first date. However, like some of the low star rating, the food is very expensive for the amount of portions. We ate 5 palm size portions for 60 euros. I would recommend trying this place once when someone is not hungry and only after the flavors. I do not think this place is good to visit multiple times because it would just be a waste of money. There are more affordable and great places around. The staff is proper and the service is adequate. Wait for food is a bit slow but its reflected on the presentation of the food. Also, they dont have English menu. It was difficult to order even with my limited Spanish knowledge.

The food is good, but not amazing enough, and the price is also really high and the dish is small. If you want to eat full, you will spend too much. Compare to the price, there are others choices instead of this restaurant.

One of the best Japanish fusion cuisines currently in Madrid. With a Kyotian staging and Nigiris which could well be hanging on any of the citi’s museums. We loved the Toro, Eel and flamed salmon ones in particular. But the jewel of the crown would definitely be the Spanish Paella “Socarrat” Nigiri with white shrimp – you’ll want to leave them out of stock on this one. Price wise it’s true that it’s upper range (60-70/PAX with wine) but worth every single €.
