A brilliant location, good sushi, all nearly ruined by bad service. It is not uncommon to wait 20 minutes to even be acknowledged. It's a shame because the sushi is good and the tempura is excellent, when it's available, and it's location by the ocean is very pleasant. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it unless you bring with you a good amount of patience.

We went here accidentally but were not disappointed. Very tasty Chinese cuisine, very popular, generous portion sizes making it good value for money! The food was all good and, in particular, the chef special 'steamed pork dumplings' were really delicious! Excellent service as well.
5. Wok To Go Chile
Reviewed By Ofek O
Ate at this place 3 times and enjoyed every one of them. The concept is making your own dish by choosing the type of noodles / rice, type of protein (beef / chicken / shrimps / tofu), choosing the vegetables and the sauce. The variety is big enough to try a different thing every time. The owner is really nice and welcoming. Highly recommended!

We had a late Monday lunch and just squeezed in, it was really busy, perhaps due to the 2 for 1 offer on many rolls tags is 12-5pm Mon-Sat.Salmon Nigiri were expensive but when they can came were massive, at least 3 bites. There was me thinking each should be a mouthful?Yakitori Chicken was yummy but didn't come with rice so we asked for some which caused some confusion?!? It did appear and no charge so no complaints!Decent rolls, with a $50 bill for 6, very happy. If we lived next door it would be a regular stop.

Only ordered a couple dishes so have limited base for evaluation.The ceviche mixto, a standard dish on this continent, didnât disappoint and was good.The Yoko Nikkei sushi was an attempt at nikkei cuisine. It had salmon (but the salmon was cooked, not raw), it used white rice (not sushi rice), had avocado, and had shrimp and salmon on top (again, cooked) then a pour-over of Leche de tigre (to complete the Latin aspect). There was a soy sauce from Taiwan that was used that was thicker and less flavorful than others Iâve had. The use of white rice and cooked fish resulted in less flavor also. I can see what the chef is trying to create but maybe he just canât get the ingredients (i.e. sushi rice, raw fish, better soy sauce) in this part of the world to do it correctly (?). Not sure.The restaurant itself looks nice. There are paintings on the walls.Good service, our waiter was patient with my bad Spanish, he didnât speak much English but somehow we managed.The mint lemonade and pisco sour were good drinks here.Muchas gracias, nos sirve mucho su opinión, seguiremos en la constante de mejorar más.

We found this restaurant on the recommendation of a waitress who lives in La Serena when she was serving us in a more touristic waterfront restaurant. The restaurant is a small "hole in the wall" with awesome fish and seafood. Daniel, the owner is a unique and fun guy. He clearly has pride in the food preparation and restaurant. His Ceviche was amazing as were the prawns we had. We both wished we were staying another day to come back and have 2 or three orders of his other Ceviche's or some of the other dishes as the food was hat good. The sushi we had was not to my taste, solely because the texture of the roll and rice was much firmer than I am used to and as such it dodn't wow me the same as the other two dishes. Specifically, the centre of the California Roll had (I believe) Abalone along with the crab, which is kind of firm, tasteless and rubbery which in my opinion didn't add to the roll and somewhat overpowered the texture. This is purely a personal taste issue as opposed to quality, but both of us thought the same thing.We had a great experieince also. Daniel's approach is somewhat unique, and perhaps not for absolutely everyone. He is playing hard rock, with no appologies or other options. He speaks English well which was appreciated as our Spanish was terrible and it made for great conversation and easier ordering choices. We recommend this restaurant for anyone that likes small out of the way places that locals know about that you wouldn't normally find on your own. We had an awesome evening and experience. I wouldn't recommend it if you are going to request any music other than rock and roll or heavy metal as Daniel will just show you the door, but we do recommend it if you like amazing and unique seafood and fish!

We serve most authentic asian food in town, using the same ingredients, dressings and presentation of "street style asian food". Our goal is to transmite the intense flavours of asian cuisine in a casual atmosphere.

Myself and my boyfriend have been backpacking SA for a while now and as a vegetarian, omelettes, cheese and salads were starting to wear thin for me. On arriving in La Sarena (our second stop in Chile), we were bombarded with new and exciting foods to try however we have heard Chile can be pretty pricey so we thought we'd try Lemongrass (they have a 4,000CLP lunch menu). As soon as we were given a menu, we knew we had made the right choice. Loads of meat options for the boyfriend and pretty much any dish comes in a vegetarian version for me. We decided not to take the set lunch menu, I had the sweet & sour veg which comes with rice (6,500) and he had the beef Pad Thai (7,500). Both absolutely delicious and served fast. The actual restaurant is cute with indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of tables for the lunchtime rush. The staff were super friendly and attentive. It is only open until 5pm daily so don't miss out!
