We live in the Bay Area where Korean BBQ spots are everywhere, and we've tried a lot of them over…read morethe years. We've also eaten at many places in LA, which is known for having some of the best Korean food. We saw this place had pretty solid reviews, especially on Google, and even saw comments from people claiming they were Korean and from LA saying this place rivaled KBBQ spots there. Because of that, we came in with really high expectations. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. The restaurant is located upstairs, and the elevator ride alone almost made us turn around. It was extremely shaky and honestly felt unsafe at times. There were moments we thought it might actually drop. I would definitely recommend taking the stairs instead. We ordered the mixed combo with beef, chicken, and pork, along with soybean soup and steamed egg. The banchan selection was limited and overall the flavors were pretty underwhelming. The biggest issue though was the meat quality. Most of the meats were chewy, including the pork belly, which should have been much more tender because of the fat content. One thing we've noticed in Mexico compared to the US is that the meat quality in general often isn't quite the same, and this place really highlighted that for us. Honestly, Gen BBQ back in California is much better than this spot. I understand some people love this place because they cook over charcoal, but the cooking process took forever. Each meat took a long time to cook, and they had to replace the coals multiple times during the meal. The one thing that really stood out in a positive way was the steamed egg. It was honestly one of the best steamed eggs we've had. Super fluffy, airy, and cooked perfectly. If you're someone who really loves Korean food or Korean BBQ, I personally wouldn't recommend going out of your way for this place. There are much better options out there worth spending your money on.

This review reflects my expectations for a tourist area establishment…read more Went to this place right after trying out another Japanese spot next door. The person who took our order was kind and patient. I may make a bold statement that this is the best asian restaurant we have had on our trip to cancun. It is cheap (compared to the other local asian spots), the portions are awesome, and the food is delicious. The food does take awhile to come out, so be prepared to wait a bit. Salmon onigiri - huge piece. its a simple dish and so we didnt expect much, but they didnt disappoint. Well balanced, salmon not too salty and rice is good. Tsukemen - noodles were cooked just right. Broth on its own was very flavorful. Portions are smaller than i am used to, but it made sense for the price. Egg was jammy and marinated with flavor. It was interesting to see sprouts in it but i'll take it. Paitan Ramen - noodles were perfectly cooked. Good umami, not too salty. Balaned. Generous with the meat. ended up putting the onigiri in here and it elevated the dish for our liking.

No one knew how to guide me there til I found the concierge form by the escalator up. Go into the Casino then right! Stated with hot green tea and miso soup, both came out hot and flavorful.

Would have loved to try the chocolate clam but they were out. The o-toro was so prefectly fatty! Well worth leaving resort for lunch! Chef Alexis and Server Javier were so warm and welcoming!

The staff were cordial, lovely, and attentive. It can get busy, but everything comes in good time and they always encourage you to go for more. I ordered the tuna and salmon sashimi- it'll come four slices each, and at the time I ordered the salmon slices were a bit smaller than the tuna. The nigiri comes one at a time, but be advised you can order as many at a time as you want. The individual nigiri is super tasty! I got the spicy chicken bao bun and misoshiru (shiru just means soup)- the miso is good, but the spicy chicken bao bun wasn't my favorite. The 'bao' was good but did not taste like bao as I know it traditionally, as well as that the spicy chicken was more of a zesty, a-la Chinese style. Finally, I got the Roses Sour mocktail (just without sake). The sour on this was delightful and worth many come backs. This spot is a really good start to the stay at this resort. I highly recommend reserving at least at the start of your day as reservations do fill up as the day goes on. We managed to book at 8:15pm at around 4:30pm as that was the first available time.

Jade Izakaya is located in Moon Palace The Grand. I am originally from NYC and have dined in many…read moreJapanese restaurants before and although Jade's interior and ambiance was lovely, their food and service was unfortunately below average. Some of their appetizers were enjoyable such as the tuna tataki w/ garlic chips, mixed vegetable tempura, and spicy shrimp wontons. Their sashimi is pretty good and fresh, their chutoro is nice and buttery, but that's about the only thing that saved them from me rating 1 star. I would pass on most of their other rolls and nigiri though. Having gone to many omakases and even Japan 4x, I guess I'm just really picky with my sushi. I was pretty disappointed overall. I got my favorite nigiri such as scallop, ikura, and eel, and they were all pretty average. The rolls were not good, got the spider roll and truffle unagi roll. And sad to say, their desserts were the worst... As a family, we got one of each dessert to try, but they weren't good. The mochi ice-cream skin was tough and felt inedible, it needs to have a soft chewy, stretchy texture. Also had the sago and the shaved ice, we couldn't finish it. The service there was actually so slow too. We got seated at 6:45pm and didn't get our first appetizer until 7:30pm... 45min wait!! (we did get served our drinks in btwn) And then even after that, our dishes just kept slowly coming in. We ended our night with their dessert around 9pm. We were there for almost 2.5 hrs from stay to finish. A lot of it was spent just sitting around. Out of all the restaurants throughout Moon Palace, this might have been my least favorite. I wanted to like it, but I guess making Japanese food was just not their forte in Cancún.

When we were placing our order, our waiter seemed to not want us to order too much food because the "portions are large". They actually weren't, so we had to order more food since he persuaded is to reduce our order previously. Pair this with the slow service and we were left waiting idly for no reason. As for the food, it was mediocre. I'd probably skip this restaurant altogether as a dinner option but maybe drop in for a snack.

In terms of restaurant options at the Hyatt Ziva, I would put Moongate kinda in the middle tier.

Ordered: - Sashimi - Salmon, Tuna, Catch of the Day (Sea Bass) - one of the thickest and widest cuts ever. - Special Kiuri Maki - this one was ok. I preferred the other maki we got. - Maguro Spicy Maki - Bibimbap - Lo Mein - this portion was really big in my opinion and they give a lot of protein. - Banana Mille Feuille - a bit dense for me. my least favorite dessert we had at the resort.
