Gorgeous restaurant. The food and service is top notch. Our waiter Willie was brilliant. They have a nice speakeasy bar/club in the back that adds the perfect touch to this wonderful restaurant. I've been here numerous times and it never fails. As long as I keep coming back to Cancun I'll visit!

Great food. Fresh fish. We were craving sushi after eating Mexican food for a week. Service was good. Price was not cheap. Casino next door for those of you who want to lose money! Overall 5 stars for the delicious fresh rolls, and sushi.

Salmon Sashimi
Lucy W.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. A little difficult to find at first, but once we did the inside was beautiful. We ordered a variety of dishes from the dragon roll, to the fresh salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, udon, hamachi, and volcano rice. Overall, the fish was fresh and the tuna was delicious and fatty. The dragon roll had tons of flavor and the portion size was quite big. The udon and volcano rice were great additions to the meal. The volcano rice is the equivalent to a Korean bibimbap. Our server was hilarious and made our experience all the better. Overall, a great place if you're looking for some quality Japanese food in Cancun.

Nigiri: o toro with black truffle, chu toro, salmon, bluefin tuna, hamachi and hamachi roll

120% Recommend! If you are looking for a great sushi place in Cancun you definitely need to come here! Our waiter, Henry Alexander, was incredible and provided great service! Ordered the oysters, chu toro, o toro, hamachi, and bluefin tuna nigiri. For dessert we had the red velvet cake/cheesecake and it was bomb! All the fish was super fresh and fatty!

Great place with excellent interior design and vibe. Staff was friendly but was not as attentive with water as I had expected from such a high class restaurant, especially when there were very few other customers. Seafood freshness was okay, not outstanding, and some slices of sashimi had not be cut well, with tendons still attached and some parts unchewable. 3.5/5

This is a double wammy. Not only am I the first comment for Kai, but this is my first comment ever on Yelp. To start.....5 stars is an understatement. This place blows away any sushi place in the US. The attention to detail, the dishes, the service, the management, and especially the chefs (specifically Edgar!!!!) has been nothing short of exceptional. The server that took care of us is Alejandro. He was absolutely on top of it. Really timely. Not overly attentive and looking over our shoulders. He provided us with recommendations when he asked and everything was absolutely amazing. Make this place one of your stops if you ever make it to Cancun

Javier is Da Bomb! He self-taught himself how to make these amazing sushi. He is usually by…read morehimself and can whip out these creations in 7 minutes. Take the time to watch him and you will be impressed! I don't do raw so I ordered the Texas and Caribbean Banana sushi. OMG! They were so delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out. It's perfect for a quick dinner or late night snack!

Sushi Station was okay, but it ended up being a little disappointing for me. I was actually pretty…read moreexcited because I probably hadn't had sushi in about a year, so I was looking forward to it. The sushi itself was basically the definition of par. I started with the banana roll, which sounded unique, but it mostly just tasted like a regular sushi roll with a slight sweetness to it. I didn't really get much banana flavor. I also tried the teriyaki chicken roll, and that one was just okay too. The teriyaki flavor was pretty weak and didn't add much. The best roll I had was a shrimp and salmon roll, although I can't remember the exact name. It was probably the strongest one I tried, but still pretty average. The Philadelphia roll was decent and slightly above par. The chef making the sushi was super friendly and nice though. Just know this isn't really a sit-down place. It's more of a grab-and-go sushi spot, and the bar next to it only has maybe three or four decent seats to eat at. Otherwise, you're probably taking it back to your room.

I always come here for yummy protein/sushi dinners! It's continually been a great experience with…read morereally unique sashimi plates. The service is wonderful, everyone is super kind and it was really a fun time when picking him up with a birthday celebration! The ambience is really high and the outdoor area overlooks the palm trees and pool. Wonderful for an evening to enjoy! Now for the food, we probably ordered like 20 dishes for three people. The sashimi slices are superduper, thin and dressed with delicious tasty sauces. The sashimi on top of seaweed salad was also delicious. We were able to taste every plate on the sashimi list (Hamachi is a MUST get) and got a couple rolls (spicy crab is sooo good) to enjoy. And omg I HIGHLY recommend the miso crème brûlée! Would come back again -- I'd say it's always a "this is really tasty" 4/5 star location to grab a bite :)

My wife, baby, and I visited this restaurant during our stay, and unfortunately, our experience was…read morevery disappointing. The hotel mixed up our reservation date, which was not our fault. When we arrived, instead of trying to help or accommodate us, Alejandro and Natalia were very rude and unwelcoming. We felt like we were being treated as an inconvenience rather than valued guests. To make matters worse, they wanted to seat us in an isolated corner, and their attitude throughout the interaction was disrespectful and dismissive. Traveling with a baby can already be challenging, and a little kindness and professionalism would have gone a long way. We understand that mistakes happen, but there is no excuse for treating guests with such a lack of respect. This experience left a very negative impression and was far below the level of hospitality we expected.
