Sushi

YokaLoka

Located in Mercado San Antón Martín this little gem serves incredible sushi. You can order to take away but there is also space in the market to sit and enjoy your sushi made there and then. A little pricier than sushi chains but the quality and friendly staff makes it worth every euro!

Location: Calle Santa Isabel, 5, Planta Baja, Mercado de Antón Martín

SushiWakka Express

This little sushi spot is just off Gran Vía and has lots of set menus to go. This is a good place if you want a sushi fix but not be too much out of pocket. They have a few restaurants around the city, so they’re easy to come across. A helpful hint: on Wednesdays they have a special deal where sushi sets are only 1€!

Location: Calle de Hortaleza, 24

Vietnamese

Viet Nam Restaurant

Zhou Yulong

This Chinese restaurant is a serious hidden gem as it is underground! The restaurant is in a carpark located under Plaza de España. Here you will find authentic Chinese dishes, as well as the classic staples of rice, ribs and dumplings! Go through the pedestrian entrance and have a unique dining experience.
