Worth the hype! The ambience is next level. Service tonight was superb, they even let us switch from our table to the bar for dessert so we could enjoy the vibe there. Would 100% return and recommend.

Disappointing at all levels.
You are assigned a 2 hour slot and you cannot stay longer. To make things worse our slot was cut by the restaurant to 1:45 (no explanation given)
Service is extremely rushed. They pressure you constantly to finish your dishes and bring something else. Everything is so rushed that they got our food before the drinks.
They recommend ordering dishes to share. Please do not do that. They are not sharing plates. They are normal size starters and mains. If you want to eat and not leave hungry get a starter and a main per person.
The prawn dumplings were delicious. The sauce that comes with them is amazing. The noodle dish is outstanding. I would have loved to have a whole noodle dish for myself instead of 3 bites because I had to share the dish with my friends.
To make things worse even if you want to order more food they won't let you.
The place could be a 5 but the atrocious service/system ruin the experience
Prices are almost as expensive as in London not worth it in my opinion.

Very delicious asian food, but definitely over priced. The service was really friendly and fast. They explained to us their concept based on plates sharing, took the time to take into consideration our big group’s dietary restrictions and recommended certain dishes accordingly. All plates ordered were delicious, but Katsu beef sandwich was top.

The concept is intriguing, and the food offers a unique twist, though it may not appeal to everyone. For me, it was good but not exceptional. However, I loved the ambiance and the vibes of the place. The staff was fantastic—kind and efficient.

We were highly disappointed by our meal at Nino Gordo. We had higher expectations of the food based on reviews and long waiting lines for people without reservations. We sat at the chef counter which was a cool experience to watch the food be prepared. It was quite hot sitting there due to the stoves and grill. We ordered the fried chicken, which we liked. However, the Ojo de Bife was incredibly disappointing. It is essentially a lettuce taco with steak, rice and seaweed. The steak was very rare and had huge chunks of fat. We paid $39,000 for that dish alone, which was ridiculously expensive for a lettuce wrap. It was one of the most expensive meals overall during our stay in Buenos Aires and the most disappointing.
