"According to wikipedia a yatai (屋台) is a small, mobile food stall in Japan typically selling ramen or other food. The name literally means "shop stand". In Madrid, not everything is cocido, tapas and sangria. We can also enjoy the most cosmopolitan gastronomic offer in Spain. This is a good example, you will enjoy the most delicious sushi or the most incredible dim-sum and will forget that you are in the country of the jamón ibérico" - Mimética

Don’t do it!!!! Overpriced frozen look alike Asian food!!! Really friendly staff but unfortunately the rents must be really high. I’ve seen a lot of frozen food and this is mostly it. Little resemblance of Asia taste here but far from what you really can experience in Madrid. I strongly recommend you read some of the reviews from knowledge driven and experienced reviewers please and manage your expectations. Good luck!

Yatai Market offers a vibrant mix of Asian cuisines, including Korean, Japanese, and Thai. The kimchi beef noodle is a standout, with spicy, tangy flavors and tender beef. Friendly staff and a lively atmosphere make it a great spot for groups. Highly recommended for a fun, flavorful food-tasting experience!

The food was great and the atmosphere was nice! I liked the music going on in the background. The staff at the stand i got my food from was rly sweet too ! The only thing I didn't like is how you have to get drinks at the bar, but the bartender is never there so the wait is so long. And then if you give up on getting drinks, they don't allow you to drink anything from outside of the establishment. However that did not ruin the experience at all and we still enjoyed the good food!

This place has great atmosphere but stay away from the Thai in the back. Noodles were drenched in sweet sauce and the overcooked noodles were inedible with chop sticks because they fall apart. I went back to tell the cook and she did not make it right. Terrible experience at 18€

Super cool atmosphere with a ton of different food choices. Great place to come to get food and some drinks. Food is nothing amazing but I really enjoyed my time here!

Great little hidden Asian gem market. Has many Asian kitchens to choose from. They're all unique menus from Asian countries and food. It's the Asian tapa place to go to!

I’d term this Asian inspired food. Will not recommend the tonkatsu ramen - it was oily, lacking in flavour and the soup base was absolutely unlike regular tonkatsu ramens we have eaten in Japan and other parts of the world. Smok mok ribs were okay - the rice came fully drenched in sauce so it wasn’t really edible. Atmosphere was nice though. Music and decor was great.

A lot of food stalls to choose from with cuisines from around East- and South-Asia. One bar to get your drinks from with plenty of the staple Asian beers (Singha, Tsing Tao, Asahi). The food was lovely, the service great (you pick up your dishes from the counter at the stall but the drinks guys bring it to your table and you can order directly from them too) and the atmosphere beautiful. Great to go with friends or on a date!

Yatai Market is like a Hawker center with different Asian food stalls including HK, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese. There were a lot of people when I was here on Friday night Oct 11 2024, so it would seem this is a popular place for locals. I got Thais Satay Chicken, Korean Bugolgi rice and cha xiu bao. All reasonable prices.

This place is amazing. It's reminded my of the tiny alleys in japan with all the wonderful restaurants. It gets packed, so find where you want to sit and have someone stay there while you grab your food. There is high top seating near the entrance, and normal tables further back. This is bi-level, with the back of the market lower than the front. They have an assortment of stalls serving various Asian foods My friend and I decided to try different stalls. I ordered gyoza and soup dumplings from Hot Bao, while she ordered Thai green curry from Mayaki. Mine was delicious, but left me hungry, so I ended up ordering the Thai green curry as well as mango sticky rice. Things to note: It gets busy. The bar is the only place you can order a drink- even water and the line gets long. I believe the market is card only. You can order ahead online. Delicious food, definitely come try it.

It's an Asian food court in the middle of downtown Madrid! Points for having several actual Asians manning the stands. As a Filipino-American, I was instantly outed by the Filipino manning the Thai food stand. The sweet chili noodles were peanut-y, saucy, and gluten-y. Most of all, they were available in the lull between lunch and dinner during which many of the other stands (and food places in Madrid) close. It's got an electric neon atmosphere inside and plenty of seating. The QR code menu is one website with every stand on it, so you can browse a single webpage as though you were walking the stands. Very casual vibe, ideal for solo eaters or travelers.

Passed by this market a few times and was curious to check it out. Finally, with a friend I stopped in to give it a try. The place is set up in a nice way, it's one of the smaller indoor markets I have been to but they have a nice indoor eating area that is quite large. The place is cozy and has a chill, relaxed vibe. The issue here was the staff. When I ordered my food the guy was not helpful or friendly at all. He seemed a bit annoyed. When I ordered a drink at a different counter, this woman seemed a little friendlier. I will say prices are very high for the portion you receive. The food I had was good, but I have definitely tasted better! Stop here only if you're curious but there are better indoor markets in my opinion.

Fun place to grab food but don't expect anything super good. The ramen was the worst I've ever had so skip the miso one. The stir fry noodles were all fantastic though, especially the one with duck.

I loved the collection of all different types of asian food in one building! It was decorated well and had a nice outdoor area for when the weather is nice! What I ordered: I went to the ramen stall and got the ramen w pork in it. I split it w my friend because we weren't hungry enough to have one each. It was a good size to split if you are just looking for a light snack. The bowl of ramen was 8.5€. I kind of wish there were more noodles, but it wasn't a bad size. I also wish it was spicier, but that's my fault for not adding hot sauce to it! This is a great place to go if you are looking for a place to hang out and try different types of asian food!

Oh man this place is a breath of fresh air in a city that offers a lot of authentic Spanish cuisine. The diversity in this market is some of the highest I've seen in the city and I love it just for that, but the food is also delicious! There's 8-9 different restaurants with unique offerings and another restaurant is on the way! You can stop by different spots and they'll give you buzzers to let you know your order is ready. The ambiance is amazing, very 1980's Tokyo with all of the neon signs and shack style restaurants. Overall, stop by to grab some buns, pad Thai and drink!

I got my noodles at the first stand (something with a duck). The noodles were okay and really oily. I went in the last days of May, and place itself was really really hot in the outdoor seating area. It wasn't just hot, but super humid and moist. They have a canopy thing overhead to block out the Sun, but it also traps all the heat in and prevents any breeze. Was dripping with sweat the entire time we were eating! We were also sitting in this corner by the stairs, and as we were eating, we saw a HUGE bug crawling on our table. It crawled under our tabletop and we never saw it again, but it was just a very unpleasant experience.

Woooo. This place is amazing little area and the lines can be long with young adults. Once your inside , there will be several different stands from different Asian foods ( Chinese, buns, dumplings, ramen, Filipino , Japanese and assorted wines , beers and cocktails). The place opens from 1 pm to midnight. The cooks , servers , and bartenders are helpful , smiling always , and hardworking. We went here twice in our 4 day stay in Madrid.

This spot is a gem in the heart of Madrid. The options are both delicious and affordable. I recommend coming here with friends for beers and ramen, or sake and sushi.

I was in my way to another restaurant and passed by this market. I've been craving ramen for some reason since I was in Barcelona a week ago. They have poké, bao, ramen, pad Thai, curry, and more. I got the chaisu ramen from Ramen Sun. It was consistent in both price and quality as NYC and Japan. The pork was a little too salty, but not terrible. While I wouldn't venture to say it was mind-blowing ramen, this is a quality bowl of soup by most standards. There's also a bar inside the market - more expensive than what you'd find in a regular Madrid restaurant but not terrible. Service was fast and easy; they take credit card at all of the stalls (the bar had a 5€ minimum); seating could be a challenge: there are limited amounts of stools but several standing tables. The market was crowded with locals but not overcrowded.

Very cute Mercado in Tirsa De Molina area. Several Asian stations to chose from. I highly recommend the Bao station (who doesn't love a damn good bao)!! I loved my duck boa. Perfect bun to meat ratio. Thai place was just average. I wanted to try the sushi but kinda pricey (like all of Madrid). I missed that there was Ramen so cant comment. I would definitely return.
