Open since 2023
Tan, Woody and Arturo's Aribau project — Korean/Chinese/Japanese cooking from a Northeast-China-via-Japan kitchen, natural-wine bar at night. Set-menu lunch by day, shared plates and low-intervention wines after dark, weekend DJ sets.
The Delekta Review
Run by Tan (chef), Woody, and Arturo; the chef is from Northeast China and lived in Japan — both registers feed the menu Started as a ghost-kitchen bento-box delivery before opening the Aribau room
Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cooking — three traditions handled with kitchen credibility rather than as a fusion gimmick Day-to-night format: lunch set menu around €13.50 (vegan/vegetarian options included); evenings turn into a natural-wine bar with shareable plates, averaging around €35 Wine list weighted toward low-intervention European labels; DJ sets on weekends
Day-to-night room on Aribau — lunch counter by day, natural-wine and Asian plates hangout after dark.
Marinated cherry tomatoes; spicy beef salad; tofu with a wild-mushroom broth
