El Japonés - MallPlaza Antofagasta is a sushi restaurant in the city of Antofagasta. It is listed at Av. Balmaceda 2355, 1271968 Antofagasta, one of the local businesses residents and visitors turn to.

In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Chilean-style sushi uses plenty of cream cheese and avocado (palta), and fried or tempura rolls are among the favourites; almost every place delivers and offers sharing platters, and if you prefer no raw fish, ask about cooked or vegetarian options.

The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 12:30–23:00. Also bear in mind that 1 January, 1 May, 18 and 19 September and 25 December are mandatory retail holidays, when most shops close. No phone number is listed for this business, so the Google Maps link on this page is the best route for directions and any contact details Google has on file. More information is available on its website, eljaponeschile.com.

Sushi are good, service is not. We had to ask for an ash tray three times. When the brought the bill there was automatic 10% charge for the service 🤭 The views are nice, you sit outside and look at the ocean and the favelas area. They don’t have a toilet, it’s in the next cafe on the same floor.
