Venir a Sato i Tanaka es una experiencia. He tenido que esperar meses por la reserva pero sin duda valió la pena. Ingredientes frescos y todo hecho al momento. Día de semana es más fácil conseguir reserva. Hemos hecho el menú degustación de día de semana y hemos pagado unos 50€ por persona, un chollo si tomamos en cuenta la calidad y cantidad de cosas que hemos comido. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados. A ver si logro una reserva otra vez 🤣 El lugar es súper pequeño, muy exclusivo pero vale la pena!

Ir a Sato i Tanaka es hacer un viajecito express a Japón, de los que te dejan satisfecho pero con ganas de volver. En el menú no hay nada que se salga de la norma, no hay ningún experimento, solo un producto genial tratado con mimo y hecho de la manera más tradicional posible, todo preparado a centímetros de tu taburete. No hay mucho que decir de un lugar como este, la parte principal de la cena son los nigiri. Pero claro, los que probablemente sean los mejores de Barcelona. Cada corte de pescado se funde en la lengua, con el punto necesario de wasabi para que su sabor explote, maridado con una buena copa de vino o de sake. La guinda final y el punto más diferente lo ponen con sus postres: unos carquinyolis de té matcha y unas trufas de yuzu tan suaves como se ven y suenan. Lo único malo de ir a Sato i Tanaka es que tu visita y su menú se acaban. Y que, tanto si has estado allí como si no, sales por la puerta pensando en cómo de loco es coger un vuelo a Osaka.

Llevábamos tiempo queriendo venir, pero nunca había disponibilidad. Tuvimos suerte de que hubo una cancelación y pudimos cenar un viernes. Sitio que no te puedes perder si eres amante del sushi. La preparación de cada pieza es todo un espectáculo, con un esmero y dedicación que se nota en cada bocado. Cada una más deliciosa que la anterior... ¡al final no sabíamos cuál repetir! Fue una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable y ya tenemos fecha para la próxima visita :)

Experiencia japonesa 100% Buenos dakes, excelentes nigiris y sublime producto. Relación calidad precio muy correcta atendiendo a la calidad de todo el menú. Capacidad de mejora en postres. Brutal la ventresca cocida, el nigiri de gamba roja, el de ventresca, el de anguila y el de calamar.

Empezando por la atención apenas llegas por parte de la camarera. Siguiente con el ambiente que hay en el local. Hasta la experiencia no solo por lo deliciosa de cada pieza, si no también por el orden, la limpieza, no hay nada que no me haya gustado. Elegimos los 12 pasos, aunque al final también repetimos dos piezas más que habían sido nuestras preferidas, tomamos vino y hasta el poste fue delicioso. Lo recomendaría sin dudas.

Sato y Tanaka en Barcelona es una experiencia gastronómica increíble. Cuando probé el sushi, pensé sinceramente que no había probado sushi de verdad antes. Cada pieza es una explosión de sabor, con una calidad y precisión espectaculares. Nuestro chef, Víctor, es una auténtica maravilla: cercano, apasionado y con un talento impresionante en cada plato que prepara. Una experiencia única que recomiendo sin dudar.

De las mejores experiencias gastronomicas, fuimos a cenar y pedimos el menu largo, cuesta 85€,

Espectacular, sorprendente, emocionante... Me invitaron para mi cumpleaños y puede asegurar que es un regalo que no olvidaré nunca. La calidad es excepcional! El chef de 10 y el trato muy cercano. Muy recomendable!

Si buscan el sabor, experiencia y ambiente japonés.. este es EL lugar. Increíble atención personal del chef en la preparación de cada platillo; es una especie de menú que sirven paso a paso, donde cada uno es hecho de una manera artesanal que solo los japoneses tienen. Los ingredientes frescos y de primera calidad que hacen valido el costo del menú. Eso si.. no olviden hacer reservación pronto porque siempre está lleno!

Had an amazing omakase sushi experience. Every piece was delicious, and you could really taste the quality. Totally worth the wait.

Great place, a little bit hard to get reservations but truly worth it. The experience here reminded me my times in Japan. Fantastic experience in the hearth of Barcelona

Anna Farina

Fantastic place! Authentic Japanese sushi and probably the best in Barcelona. Definitely the best I’ve tried. I highly recommend this place, everything was spectacular. A wonderful experience🙌🏻

Jason Fung

Authentic Japanese sushi restaurant that delivers an exceptional value and quality omakase experience. Managed to book a lunch table and it didn’t disappoint me. All the sushi are very good and I particularly like the tuna and also prawn as Spanish prawn is really delicious. Sushi chef is very attentive and professional and accommodates my partner food intolerances request as well. Surely there is better one in Barcelona and you need to pay much more €50 and that’s why I could not really recommend it enough! I will definitely come back again when I visit Barcelona next time and will explore other sushi places as well!

Wonderful experience at sako i tanaka. Food was exceptional, we had the omakase menu at the bar and everything was prepared with such care. At the end, we asked to repeat a few items. Desserts are clearly not an afterthought. Service was exceptional: low key and alert, making everything comfortable for us. They brought extra dessert (truffles and carquinyoli) when they realized we wanted to share, so we would each have one. We did not ask; really lovely. It is very small, and gets booked out very quickly. Can only recommend

Reservation is almost impossible to get. I check their website every day and rarely I can manage to get weekday lunch for 1 person. The long menu at €45 is insanely cheap. Unbeatable value

Seven years after my first visit I finally made it back to Sato i Tanaka today for lunch and it lived up to all my great memories. I had the “short” menu that included 9 nigiri and 3 maki along with an appetizer, tea, miso soup, and desert. The chef makes each piece while you watch and serves them one by one. Lunch included Tuna belly, cooked in a broth, Squid, Tiger prawn with olive oil and salt, Scallop with butter, Smoked bonito, Blue fin tuna loin, Blue fin belly(toro), Toro with quail egg yolk, Red prawn with olive oil and salt, Tuna belly maki with roast sesame, and Unagi. Desert was Miso ice cream which I had never had before, but it was a great way to finish the meal. Hopefully it won’t be 7 yrs until my next visit!

We had a fantastic lunch at Sato i Tanaka. The nigiris and makis were outstanding, with fresh and authentic flavors. The service was great, and one of the highlights is sitting at the bar, where we could watch the chef at work and even interact with him. This added a personal touch to the meal, making it feel more intimate and engaging. However, the experience was marred by the uncomfortable warmth inside, as the air conditioner wasn't working properly. Despite that, the food alone is worth a visit! Highly recommended!

Victoria Ashley

I decided on the longer lunch menu consisting of 12 nigiri and 3 maki. Miso soup, drink, and dessert were also included. The quality and value are unmatched in all my dining experiences. The fish were fresh and bright. I include pictures of my favorites. The environment was calm, perfectly matching a careful and attentive service. If I could return weekly, I would. I look forward to the next meal here. A reservation is required.

I already have been to this restaurant 3 times. It requires at least a wait of two months to have a meal here. But it's TOTALLY worth it. I have never been to any restaurants in Barcelona that has such high quality of fish and professionalism in making sushi. Back in my country, I would often visit Omakase restaurants as this one, and even so it wouldn't have been easy to have an authentic experience as this restaurant provides. Worth the money and the wait.

Amazing experience. The product is treated very well, I was very impressed with the texture of the calamari, scallops, eel. Each piece comes with a mixture of the rice, soya, wasabi and at times even lime. I didn’t dislike any of the dishes that came my way. Also good quality wine. Definitely the best sushi in Barcelona.

We really enjoyed the experience and, of course, the food. It was hard to get a reservation but it totally worth the effort. One of the best sushi experiences in Barcelona. The squid nigiri and the miso ice cream absolutely mind blowing

Make a reservation in advance. If you like japanese food, this is the best place I've been in years (apart from one or two in Tokyo). Authentic sushi prepared by sushi chefs in front of you, and what is more surprising, a tasting menu for 55€ that is totally worth it. Everything is carefully prepared, the attention to the detail is superb. Reminder: Book in advance (with plenty of time, even three months in advance), but you must try this place.

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend arhat works in Michelin star restaurant and I can safely say that it’s the best sushi I’ve ever had. The restaurant is very simple but original, there are no tables, everything is on the bar. There are two chefs preparing everything in the moment. There are different closed menus, some long, some short, cheap and more expensive. The desserts are also amazing. They usually don’t have space available, but if you get the chance, go! Don’t even think about it. Every nigiri and roll is made and given in the moment, one by one, the chef explains what it is and you just enjoy. We ordered the short menu and two extra rolls, plus the miso ice cream and the matcha carquiñolis. Súper recomendable.

We tried the 'Omakase' dinner tasting menu and from start to finish every piece was so flavorful and meticulously made in front of our eyes, just the freshest selected top quality ingredients and excellent preparation by the Chef, exceptionally good, definitely at the very top of the best Japanese restaurants in Barcelona! It's difficult to get a reservation due to the very limited seating capacity. But definitely a must try! one of the best Sushis I've ever tried.

Gerard Domínguez Reig

Just wonderful. You must go, at least once! You can either enjoy the long or short menu, the only difference being how many nigiris you get. There are 2 chefs for 2 tables, which together can welcome 15 people, so it's a pretty intimate experience. Your chef (or itamae) cuts the fish and prepares each piece in front of you, adding some beautiful tasting notes that come in the shape of sauces, salt... it really is amazing. I was impressed by the eel nigiri, of which we ordered a second one because we needed to have it again. But don't take my word for it: book!

I must say that it is the best Japanese restaurant in town. They have a sushi menu with a mix of flavors that transport you to Asia. It is a culinary journey through Japan that you must try. The restaurant has a waiting list so book a month in advance. Here are the photos of the dishes. I can not describe with words the wonderful food

Tuvimos una experiencia algo mixta en este restaurante de barra y show cooking. Empezando por lo positivo, el cocinero fue realmente excepcional: atento, amable y muy dedicado a que disfrutáramos. Se adaptó a nuestros gustos e incluso nos ofreció probar piezas del menú más largo sin cobrárnoslas, lo cual fue un detalle de diez. Por otro lado, la parte menos grata fue el servicio de los camareros, que realmente deslució la experiencia. Nos hicieron esperar fuera con frío, no explicaron bien las opciones del menú y la atención fue poco profesional para el precio del lugar. Además, el ambiente era algo sencillo e incómodo, con una iluminación no muy práctica para apreciar bien la comida. En resumen, la comida estaba rica, aunque un poco repetitiva en ingredientes, y el cocinero hizo que la experiencia fuera especial. Pero el servicio de los camareros y algunos detalles del lugar nos impiden darle más de un 3.8 o un 4 sobre 5.
