Hidden gem in downtown near the Zocalo! I had dental work done so I was looking for something near…read moremy room and found this place through Yelp. The reviews were great so I gave it a try. The ramen was delicious! I also had a crab roll which was also great. The prices are very reasonable. The service was amazing, Gabriel was my waiter and was so attentive but not overwhelming. It was a perfect experience! I wanted to try the dessert but didn't have room since their ramen bowls are huge. I highly recommend if you're in the area!

After eating tacos for every meal for three days, I needed something different. And being Asian…read morefrom New York, I craved some Asian food. Let's just say that Chinese food is not easy to find in Mexico City if you're not looking for a buffet. We finally came across Ah-Un which is basically pan Asian. As a general rule of thumb, don't ever eat sushi at a place that has no customers. If the fish is not moving then you're asking to be sick. There was also a smell coming from the bar which smelled like old alcohol. It's not fish but it gives you an idea of the cleanliness. We decided to get the katsu don and the pad Thai. Two cooked dishes that seemed like a safe choice. The pad Thai wasn't bad. It tasted like the dish should taste and was a large serving. The katsu don was not as good. The katsu was dry and the rice was tasteless. I mean it didn't even taste like white rice. It just wasn't good at all. At the end, we were just glad to eat something other than tacos.

Was in need of Asian food during our trip and this place didn't disappoint! The location is kind of…read moretucked away (nearby streets were closed for construction, Uber had to drop us off 2 blocks away and we walked. It wasn't a bad walk. Didn't opt for the omakase since my husband thought it was too much food for him. A la carte it was. We enjoyed all the food. Udon was great! I prefer udon over ramen since I like a cleaner and lighter broth. The portion was smaller than I expected, more like an appetizer size than an entrée size. Only nigiri I didn't quite liked was the geoduck, it had a fishy taste still (think aji). Would definitely return on a future trip.

We had a lunch reservation and went with the kaiseki course (rather than the sushi course). The…read morerestaurant is tucked away from the street, and there were some ramps/stairs we had to get through to reach the restaurant. I'd say that they've got service and presentation down pat. The quality of the food, I'd say, is pretty good too. We started with a persimmon tofu salad with crab, shrimp, and asparagus - very clean flavor, refreshing. Then an assortment plate with mackerel & ika, trout roe, seaweed-marinated egg, matsutake mushroom salad, cactus nigiri (yes, you read that right!), and wagyu cake. I was not impressed with the wagyu... it was lacking in flavor and a little on the chewy side. The cactus nigiri was interesting! I like that Chef Asai is trying to incorporate Mexican culture into his dishes. I've never had cactus before, but it had that crunchy texture and plant-like taste. We then had a sashimi course - akami, hotate, and striped jack all on one plate. I think I would have wanted these separate instead of all on one plate, but maybe that's just my preference. We also had wagyu shabu-shabu, which I enjoyed! Overall, it was a mix of good and decent, and I enjoyed our lunch here! Interesting take on kaiseki experience.
