Ikebana Sushi Guaynabo

Oh, how I missed this place. Had so many sushi disappointments in the past few years living stateside, so was happy to come back to my go to. Newer location than when I last went. It's bigger but the way it's separated it makes it look small. Was too hungry so I ordered the pumpkin cream soup and while it was good, it was lacking a bit of flavor. It felt thinned out or maybe slightly watered down. Our rolls took a while to come out (easily half an hour , but when they did they were brought to an area by a robot(! which the server then picked up and brought to us. It was neat. I had my three staples (Leila, Mexican, Caribbean and we got the Spicy Lola to try something new. The Mexican roll was nice (it's wrapped in tortilla instead of seaweed , and the Spicy Lola was very filling. The Caribbean was superb, but the Leila roll is still the all-star from this place. Possibly my favorite roll of all time. Service time wasn't great but Rolando was extremely hands on and always paying attention to refilling water, and he was extremely courteous. 4/5 due to the service time and the pumpkin cream soup missing the mark. Amazing sushi and well worth the trip!

Food was excellent and the decor is beautiful. Service was slower than molasses in winter. There were just a handful of customers, at least five servers, and although we were seated promptly and our drinks arrived quickly, it took way too long for anyone to take our food order. Why? I have a feeling perhaps it was end of shift for the server assigned to our table. She must have failed to communicate that to her replacement. However, why didn 't that person check his section? Where was the restaurant manager, supposedly overseeing that everything is going smoothly? Eventually, we had to ask another waiter to please help, and she sent us our waiter. After we ordered, it took 45 minutes for the food to arrive. Everything was delicious, but what we hoped would be a quick lunch ended up with taking way too long. And the place is not cheap, and there was a 15% tip already included in the bill. Based on service, that was preposterous. So instead of servers polishing the fake candles, it would be better if they walked around the tables asking if everything was alright. Just a thought.

Is a great date place! The food was all amazing, service was amazing! If you do desert the fried ice cream topped it all off.

Slow as hell, Mandatory 15% tip before you order . DO NOT GO ! Rude , saying they have been at location longer than the building . , bummer , sad just sad . Food is just ok

Ikebana has the best sushi in Puerto Rico. The staff is super friendly and bilingual. All their drinks are FANTASTIC! I enjoyed how they separate their menu as well based on flavor and from land and their fish. I also like how they didn't have the typical land options as in hibachi. They had lamb, steak, etc. I think ikebana did a very good job with presenting their sushi options and desserts which are DELICIOUS! Hands down will be going back again when I go back down.
