Restaurant Japón

Claudette MM a month ago

A fairly standard sushi experience. The complimentary tofu and tuna tartare were delicious, but the tamago was too watery. The sake was good, although the service lacked explanation or guidance about what was being served. Overall, decent, but I believe there are better options for more authentic sushi and a better atmosphere.

We wanted to have Sushi for lunch so we stopped in the Restaurant Japón since it has a good rating. We ordered 3 Rolls. The restaurant was pretty empty, so we were surprised when the food took really long to arrive. Other people arrived, ordered and got their food. When we asked they said „just one moment“. In the end we waited app. 1 hour. I think we would have gone for a 4 star review since the food was good. In the end though, the waiter added a tip without asking us or showing it on the bill.

I was really disappointed with this visit. The staff were friendly, but the service was very slow and unorganized. Unfortunately, the food didn’t make up for it — everything tasted bland and far from authentic. The takoyaki and gyoza seemed like they had been microwaved and lacked any real flavor. We also ordered the sushi boat, and the fish was clearly farm-raised and not fresh. Considering the prices, I expected much better quality. I’d recommend skipping this spot and trying other places in Santiago — you’ll likely find similar quality fish at a far more reasonable cost.

Restaurant Japón is a decent place to visit if you’re in the area, but I’m not sure it’s worth the price. The staff were friendly, but the service was fairly slow. I also would have preferred printed menus, though everything was available online. It wasn’t very clear whether I was supposed to order online, at the counter, or wait for table service. In the end, the staff took my order when I asked, which was appreciated. The online menu also suggested that payment was done through the website, but that didn’t end up being the case. The food was okay, but it lacked cohesion. The individual ingredients were decent, but they didn’t quite come together or share a consistent flavour profile, which I’d expect from a good soup. I ordered the edamame and the udon with tempura vegetables, shrimp, and chicken. The dish was nicely presented, but overall it didn’t have much flavour. The edamame were fine, although they didn’t come as described on the menu (no sesame seeds), which I didn’t really mind, but it’s worth mentioning. The atmosphere is decent, and the sushi bar looked exciting. However, the prices felt a little high for what you get.
