Went to Noe Sushi last week and honestly the fish quality is what stands out. Had the omakase and every piece tasted properly fresh, not that dull supermarket texture you get at cheaper places. The presentation was neat too, clean and precise. It&#39;s not cheap, but you&#39;re paying for the sourcing. I&#39;d skip the sake pairing though, felt a bit overpriced for what you get.

Solid burgers. Had the Gaucha and Borracha, both were packed with flavor. Wings were decent too. Place gets busy, so service was a bit slow, but whatever. Worth checking out if you&#39;re into burgers.

The grilled meats were spot on&mdash;juicy, with that smoky char. The chimichurri really stole the show though, tangy and garlicky. Portions are generous, and the price felt fair for what you get. I&rsquo;d go back just for that sauce honestly.

The fish and vegetable plate was really fresh, you can tell they use good ingredients. Place is pretty inside too. Just a bit pricey for what you get, but I&#39;d come back for the food.

Breakfast menu&rsquo;s solid and cheap&mdash;eggs benedict or the McMuffin-style one, both hit the spot. Service stays quick.

The fractal breakfast was actually pretty good &mdash; fresh and light, not heavy at all. The place has this calm vibe that makes you want to linger over coffee. Service was on point too, friendly without hovering. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. Still, a solid spot for a slow morning.

The lunch special here felt like real home cooking. I could tell the veggies were fresh, not the usual sad cafeteria stuff. Portion was decent for the price. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area. Had the grilled fish and it came out fresh, not overcooked. Prices are fair for what you get. Place is nothing fancy but the food does the job. Service was friendly enough, no complaints. Would stop by again if I&#39;m nearby.

Food was decent and service pretty quick. Our server checked on us a few times, which was nice. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

The passion fruit cheesecake here is legit. Tart, creamy, not too sweet. Had it after the lasagna which was also solid. This branch is way calmer than the Centro one, so you can actually enjoy your food without rushing. Ice cream&#39;s been consistent every time I&#39;ve come.

The margarita was solid and the mora martini even better. Shrimp scampi hit the spot too. Garlic bread came out super crunchy. Place was a bit loud but whatever.

Stopped by for a quick sushi fix. Got the salmon roll and it was pretty solid. Place was quiet on a weekday afternoon. Ramen looked good too, might try that next time. Service was chill, no rush. Prices are okay for what you get.

Been coming here for months now. Still think their lunch special is one of the best deals around&mdash;nothing fancy, just solid food done right. The building&#39;s got that old colonial charm too, always feels nice to sit in. Dinner menu I haven&#39;t tried yet, but if it&#39;s anything like lunch, I&#39;ll keep coming back.

Sushi was decent and fresh. Got a poke bowl and it hit the spot. Waiter Matheis was really attentive too. Place was a bit busy but fine for a quick bite.

Vegan tacos were solid, the veggie one even tasted like fajitas. Lots of avocado on top. Good spot if you&#39;re eating plant-based.

Decent spot right by the church. Had the Camarone Diablonique, pretty good. Dark beers were solid too. A bit pricey for Ecuador, but you get what you pay for. Beer garden vibe is nice, nothing fancy. Fine for a casual stop.

The braised pork at lunch was so good, honestly one of the best meals I had in Cuenca. Staff were friendly and the river spot felt super chill.
