Funky Geisha seemed super cute when we walked in, although it was a bit empty. I had heard great things about the location in Cabo so I was excited to try it. We ordered a wide variety of plates to share, from rolls to tacos to rice and noodle dishes. Overall, everything wasn't bad but it was really overpriced for what it was. We also ordered drinks and they weren't that strong. However, the food came out pretty quickly and the waiters were really nice and understanding with our large party of 10.

Alaskan roll and dragon roll
Lonnitha L.

Javier was the absolute best. The crab wonton was soooo good, tasteful and filling. My best friend and I ordered sushi for our main course. The dragon roll and the Alaskan fire roll. You can't go wrong with either. The ambiance gives both jungle feel and beach feel and we enjoyed everything and would highly recommend this restaurant when you are in Tulum.

Fried rice with mixed meat ($180 pesos)
Stella F.

This restaurant is part of the larger Rosa Negra group and was by far the worst. The ground is completely sand which is cool but there are random tree stumps throughout and a sewer before the bathroom that are very hazardous. I wanted the mussels but they were "out" for the last month... it's a digital menu. Take it off as an option. There were also tables that had floor seating and a table hit up running during their mea due to a crab that was loose by their table. As far as the vibe it was the calmest of all the places we'd been so if that's your vibe and you like regular Chinese food/sushi at uncharged prices this is the place for you. Note: they did give a free appetizer which was a nice touch and unfortunately the best thing I had at the dinner.

Spicy beef and rice

This literally could be the best place in Tulum. Owned by the famous Rosa Negra group this is their sister restaurant that specializes in Asian inspired dishes. Coming from Vancouver where we are absolutely spoiled with good Asian food, I found Funky Geisha to be just amazing. The food was inspired and delicious. We tried a bunch of items, but he lobster pad Thai was the most memorable with their rolls being a close second. The cocktails were over the top with table side service and fancy garnishes and glasses. This is an entire experience here. The staff were incredibly attentive and efficient. Nobody around when your enjoying your drinks and dinner and then boom someone is there picking up your dishes, cleaning the table or asking how everything is going. 5 stars just on the service alone. This place is going to cost you so be warned but I feel it's totally worth the entire experience and a must go when you're in Trendy Tulum.

Fried Crab Cheese Wonton

Here is what I ordered: - Thai Lettuce Wraps - Lobster Pad Thai - Beef Drunken Noodles Yum yum yum! We needed our fix of Asian food while we were in Mexico! The lettuce wraps were delicious with three different dipping sauces (sweet n sour, soy sauce/oyster sauce & srircha). This came with noodles, carrots, bean sprouts, teriyaki chicken and I'm not sure what the green things are but they were good! I love how you can customize your own lettuce wrap to your liking! I don't like bean sprouts so I didn't put those in. The lobster pad thai came with so much lobster! The price wasn't that bad for the amount of lobster we got! It was a bit sour for my liking :( and not my favorite dish, but still tasty! The shrimp drunken noodles was sweet and interesting! I've never tried drunken noodles before but this was a good experience! They offered us a fried crab cheese wonton on the house with spicy sweet n sour sauce, yum! It was the perfect mix of cream cheese and crab! My friend ordered the drink which I thought was pretty cool with how it was presented! I think she said it was spicy! We were celebrating my friends birthday so they gave us cute little sparklers and a chocolate roll cake, loved it! The restaurant ground is sandy and definitely a unique experience! It was SO tulum with the lamps and I loved it! They have Japanese and Thai cuisine which was pretty interesting! Definitely fine dining, but worth it!

Mussels - underwhelming
Nancy N.

Beautiful ambiance and great service. Food is priced high vs portion and underwhelming. I'll be back for the ambiance hoping to see the show next time.

Chicken Lettuce wraps
Ashley G.

The vibes... the food... definitely a nice place to check out. We stumbled upon this place on a Sunday night and just in time for the show. They brought out the light show & the dancers! They were out of half of the menu lol but the items we tried were pretty tasty. The fried rice was bomb as well as the drunken noodles. The service could have been better but overall I had a blast!

Shrimp drunken noodles
Deena S.

Great food and amazing service!! Our favorite meal in Tulum by far. Our servers Ale and Augustin made our night so fun and special

Great atmosphere
Sam B.

Here we go. I must say, this location is literally amazing. I tried hard to see if this location is worthy of its single review. And I must ultimately say I am extremely happy and overly satisfied with the service and food. I was literally shocked at the atmosphere and quality of food. Extremely recommended!! Everything from the food to the hookah. This is a must try location for it's atmosphere and servers like a Patricio!! I cannot explain in words how incredible this experience was with the ambience, food, service and overall experience. I hope everyone else that comes to this restaurant has just as good of an experience. I will definitely be back to Mexico and 100% this restaurant with the hookah and food. 10/10 experience in my book. Must see and visit location!!

Steak

This place was a vibeeeeee. Extremely chill, cool spot with good music. The food was good, I enjoyed everything but the shrimp skewer. The shrimp was over cooked and chewy with this pungent orange sauce on it tht was so bad. But the rice was 4/5 soup was 5/5 & spicy which I loved. Hookah was good tho but at $80 it better be lol overall it was a nice experience on the strip.

Eggplant lotus root
Jayde E.

This place is super cute. We went on a friday night and it was more chill than some of the places blasting music and strobe lights which is why we chose it. That as well as the amazing vegan menu they offer. We had the beet starter which was very good with a little spicy kick, the eggplant lotus root, which was good but make sure to ask for lots of extra lotus roots for dipping. The mushroom Curry which we loved and the fried tofu dish, the sauce is the key here, make sure to use it! So good. Margaritas were also on point. And they had a ton of other great specialty cocktails that looked good although we didn't get to try them on this visit. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would suggest wearing flat shoes or a wedge as the floor here is all loose rocks, looks very cute but a little hard to walk on. Would go again and suggest. Good for groups.

Loveeed the food! It was my birthday and I felt soo special! The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable! Loved the decor. The music was also very good. I will definitely be back!

Crab rangoon

High hopes, bad execution This place, you walk in and you feel like you are about to have an amazin food experience, but unfortunately while they have attentive service and an awesome vibe, the food just does not live up. First things first, we got seating on an elevated platform, and had to sit on pillows, and it was ok for like 5 minutes but after that it was uncomfortable. I had asked to be moved to a normal table with normal chairs, but they couldnt oblige for our party of 3. The food itself... visually appealing, but the drunken noodles were BAD, they just used pd thai noodles overly sweet sauce (it tasted fine for a couple bites), but for what they charge... it is just not great I asked for medium spice, and they all did was cut up raw chillies and put then on top ‍

Korean spicy noodles with tofu, and Penang curry with sea food.

1-Star Review for BAK Tulum…read more We were very disappointed with our experience at BAK Tulum, especially since it was meant to be a special anniversary dinner. I clearly mentioned to the staff that I am pregnant and asked for my steak to be well done. When our steaks arrived, mine was rare inside. I immediately brought it to their attention, and they took it back. My husband waited to eat with me, and after about 10 minutes, they returned my steak -- yes, it was cooked through, but they had simply thrown it back on the grill, leaving the entire crust black and burned. A proper well-done steak should be baked or finished carefully, not charred. I had to cut around the burnt parts and could only eat the inside, leaving my plate full of burnt steak pieces. We also ordered banana cream and churro waffles for dessert -- both were disappointing, we barely had two bites each. They brought us two complimentary champagnes, which was thoughtful -- but again, I had already told them I was pregnant. They didn't bother to offer me a non-alcoholic alternative, so I couldn't enjoy anything. When the bill arrived, the manager had said the desserts would be complimentary, but they were still charged on the bill, along with the champagne we never ordered. After pointing this out, the waiter said he made the changes but questioned who told me that, claiming I "heard wrong." Only after insisting did he remove the desserts from the check. We paid $700 USD for a $626.16 bill, expecting the change in pesos as agreed. Based on the daily exchange rate (18.46), the change should have been 1,363.50 pesos, but we were given 1,240 pesos, short 123.5 pesos. When questioned, the waiter said, "our restaurant's rate is 17," which still didn't add up and left us short again. Throughout the entire experience, no one apologized -- not for the burnt steak, not for the billing confusion, and not for the dishonest handling of the exchange rate. In person, I gave them the chance to make things right, but they chose not to. That's why I'm writing this review -- not to complain, but to warn others. The music and fireworks were great, but the food, service, and honesty were deeply disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience ruined our anniversary night.

The best dining experience I've EVER had! From the…read moreappetizers, drinks to our main course and desserts. Outrageously delicious. We squeezed in a mescal tasting to enhance the fun. Each step through the experience was another level of pleasure to the senses.

If you're looking for a party vibe while having dinner, this is the spot. From passing out…read moresparklers to everyone to the fire dancers it was all very entertaining. Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill.

This was a full-on experience night and easily one of the highlights of the trip. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the place had energy, music, lights, and a crowd clearly there to celebrate something. It never felt stiff or overly formal, just lively and fun the entire evening. The food was excellent across the board, but the standout was the tomahawk steak presentation. When it arrived, sparklers, drums, and all eyes on the table, it honestly felt like some kind of ceremonial animal sacrifice in the most entertaining way possible. Over the top? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately great food to back it up. We laughed, ate way too much, and left buzzing from the whole experience. A true 5-star night in Tulum.
