First off let me say the service was great! Having lived in Santiago for a couple of years now I´ve learned that´s not something that should be taken for granted! We were a fairly large group and ordered a mixture of hot dishes and sushi/sashimi but the food came out pretty quickly and was really good. It´s a traditional restaurant... More

We were taken here by friends who live nearby. We were promised wonderful sushi, and I would say we were not disappointed. The seafood (fish, shrimp, abalone, etc) was very fresh. To us, the rice used in the rolls seemed almost old, or at least oddly textured. We were surprised by the fairly large portions. It wasn't cheap; we paid... More

Pretty good Japanese food! All the food at Japon was good and being a Japanese girl being able to ask for natto was a real treat! If you're in Santiago and need a break from the local cuisine and random Italian options go and check Japon out.

I found the recommendation for this restaurant in Frommer's travel guide to Chile, and we were not disappointed! It was possibly the best sushi I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh, and the rice was divine. If I'd had more time in Santiago, I would have happily eaten here again. It's in a cute little neighborhood, too. My husband and... More

I discoved this fantastic Japanese restaurant, known mainly by the Japanese community (this is the best indication that the food they serve is typical Japanese, and therefore GOOD). All their menu is good, and of course Very Fresh. Attention is nice and frendly, and personnel very much considerate.

I had heard about Japon restaurant for years and years, a pioneer in Chile, etc etc true japanese restaurant. I actually went with some friends who have been going for a long time and we all came away very disappointed (myself especially, since I picked up the check): Thursday night we got a nice position in front of the sushi...

I always go here when I'm in Santiago and have taken all my coworkers who love sushi too. I've tried sashimi, sushi the japanese dish that comes in a box, and always it's been excellent and so fresh. I usually sit at the bar and interchange a few words with the chefs. Even though I sometimes don't go for months... More
