“ I'll get straight to the point, the ramen here was so incredibly good I'm actually disappointed that I tried it because now I'm back in the states and the ramen restaurants in my area just doesn't compare. The sushi was quite good as well and the service and atmosphere was all just fine. I will definitely be back here again if I ever find myself back in Cancun! ”
“ My hotel food was mid, this was s tier. Saved me ngl. Straight gas. Formal restaurant too, not just some shop along the way. Get the chicken karaage n tempura shrimp. Good service, lady was nice, gave her a good tip. ”
“ Visited April 2024 - Superb flavour and excellent cooking of the fried rice dishes, and the vegetable tempura was crispy and well seasoned. We went for hot dishes rather than sushi, but can highly recommend the fried rice if you're looking for something comforting and just need a bit of a break from Mexican food. The restaurant is a very relaxing place to be, good air conditioning too if you want a break from the sun and don't want to go into the supermarket across the road. The service was efficient and friendly, not many people in the restaurant at lunch time, but it was still a nice place to be. Prices are standard for the mid to lower range in Cancun. ”

“ Everything is good except a bit expensive. Great Japanese food! ”
“ Fantastic Sushi and Japanese restaurant with a great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We had a selection of nigiri, several rolls, fried rice, and some edamame. The otoro nigri and hamachi were absolutely fantastic. The fried rice was delicious and we would highly recommend it for anyone who doesn't just want sushi. The service was highly attentive, helpful, and made our experience all the better. Our server spoke 3 languages (Japanese, Spanish, and English) very well, and was very knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant had a very authentic Japanese restaurant aesthetic. Minimalistic, with lots of dark stained wood and a cozy soft feeling. ”
“ It’s really really nice and authentic and every dish I can feel the dedication and craftsmanship, almost make me cry, after tasting so many Japanese cuisine prepared by Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Each dish is outstanding in its own category! It’s been a long long time since I taste something like this in East Village in NYC! Btw I am from and live in NYC and travel all over the place. ”
