Mixed feelings

I tried pad thai, which was very good, and protein bao, which was a little disappointing. I would say it was quite expensive for what you get. The chocolate cake with cherry and ginger, however, was absolutely amazing and worth any money.

Delicious

Superb food. I had the oishi broccoli to start and the tempeh and mushroom for main, with a glass of rose and hibiscus tonic. Nuanced and rich tastes. The kind of food to really savour. Lovely restaurant. Feels very fresh and stylish. Helpful team. 🩷

Update: went back with two friends - a veggie and a non-vegan/veggie. They loved it! Had the amazing broccoli again, some sushi, and the pad thai, which was exceptional! We also shared dessert - the cheesecake, snickers and chocolate cake. Lord have mercy! So good! And it was lovely to meet the owner, Marco, who is the definition of excellent hospitality. My favourite in Barcelona.

very special food…

you won’t get everywhere!
We had some “foie gras”-sushi rolls, broccoli with oishi-sauce, tempeh with a creamy mushroom sauce and patatas bravas with kimchi and aioli.
Everything tasted very extraordinary, interesting - in a good way!
They offer really special food, very aromatic and combining different cuisines.
The service was very friendly too and spoke many languages.
We highly recommend the spot, although it was pricey! It was even pricier than the menu told us, maybe I missed some note on the menu, but everything was around 2€s more, which was expensive especially for the size of the tempeh, a main dish for around 20€. It definitely was too small for the price.
As everything was delicious and the staff friendly, I give 5 stars.

Pros: very special taste , friendly staff

Cons: pricey , waiting time between courses

If you had your meal outdoors, they charge 10% extra! That's probably why it was more expensive than the menu stated. There's a 10% terrace supplement, I see 💸

In Spain it is! Although a 10% is quite expensive, honestly 😅

Nice but nothing to special

Recommending a lot to get the Ramen if you go there; this was the dish we liked the most and it was very unique. The rest was very good but nothing to special.

Very recommendable!

Nice variety of dishes. I loved the ravioli and the green dragon sushi. The restaurant is small so make sure to book beforehand. Nice staff.

Best vegan sushi

We got the tikka masala bao to share. My friend got the kiss me ramen and I got the rock and roll sushi roll. All were fantastic. Probably the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Would absolutely go again.

Pros: Excellent sushi

delicious sushi

We ordered various sushi rolls and Pad Sa Thai. They were all very tasty, but the foie gras rolls were our favourite. The only problem for us was the service: we ordered via UberEats, half of the order was not delivered and we were told to place a second order with the missing items (refund for the duplicate items will follow), but we are still stuck with our costs to this day.

The place and the staff are lovely, and the food they offer is very well thought out and extremely tasty. Lots of flavours and textures mixed together. We had the tropical rolls and broccoli, and their homemade Snickers. I'll come back soon!

Pros: Attentive staff, Delicious food, Price is fine

Comida asiática 100% vegana

Ramen vegano con un caldo cremoso muy rico. Tiene una carta con variedad de comida asiática tanto como para picar y compartir como principales. El local además es muy agradable.

La única pega que me pondría es que para la cantidad que es, es un pelín caro.

Original i creatiu

Tant el menjar com la decoració són una fusió reeixida entre les tradicions oriental i occidental.

Tot molt bo, encara que potser una mica car.

Rounding up to 5 stars

Desoriente has the coolest “night out” vibe of the restaurants I visited in Barcelona and the appetizer and dessert I tried were fantastic.

I thought the entrees (the foie gras roll and the pad Thai) could be more flavorful but overall it’s worth visiting. Reservations recommended for this restaurant.

Pros: Setting, Service, Delicious appetizers & desserts

Cons: Some entrees lacking a little flavor

Great asian fusion

Food is great, but we have seen some inconsistency in the execution. Some days are better than others.

Tasty,

We had a few tapas dishes, main courses, desserts and coctails. Everything was very tasty and well presented. It was fascinating to learn how the dishes had been made. Nice place, nice ambiance, and friendly and attentive staff. If there was something we missed was a few more fresh ingredients incorporated into the dishes.

Great food

We had lunch there, nice place and service, and the food is very good. We would like to highlight the aran-xino (delicious "croquetes") and the mumbai's ravioli (great combination of flavors of the sauce, the lentils, and the raviolis with ricotta filling!). The only con in our case would be that the dishes were not very hot when they are served, in our case the tempeh was somewhat cold, I am sure it would have tasted better if it had been hotter.

Pros: Very tasty food, nice combination of flavors

Cons: Some dishes were a bit cold when served

Fantastic!

We stopped for an afternoon meal. The Pad Thai is spectacular and the vegan sushi was better than other restaurants in the city.
