    Mexican style sushi! Actually went above my expectations. The sushi was decent, best is their sushi cones. The salmon cone is fresh and fatty, very yummy with avocado and cucumbers. The shrimp cone couldn't really taste the shrimp flavor because the nori and rice overcame it. The texture and overall flavor was good though. Stir fry udon was interesting, strong teriyaki flavor with bit sourness like vinegar. Also very unique how they serve sushi with eel sauce, and I think it's actually better than normal wasabi with soy sauce because it was something new for my traditional taste buds. Food overall 8/10 because rice was little hard and service was 10/10.

    Japanese box (8 bite for 2 pack) 2/10  Don't think salmon supposed to be brown red arrow for reference  Fish taste warm, rice is hard

    Highly recommended by many of the resort staff But to be honest mediocre at best. They make it an upscale presentation but nothing I would call good sushi or Asian food. A for effort. Service very nice. Hospitality is good.

    Fried Cilantro with Honey

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, I am going to have to give this place a 2/5 stars. Aside from having an "exotic-sounding" menu, I was left with a weird taste in my mouth. Each plate that we ordered was worse than it's predecesor. Honey Tempura Cilantro? No gracias!!! My partner and I came to this restaurant with an open mind and with a great recommendation by our concierge, but it failed to wow us whatsoever. I've never been a fan of fusion style restaurants, and this further proves that my stance on that will not change. Great try, but maybe try again?

    Best food at the Cancun Oasis. Don't let the fusion name scare you. Very good flavors and it is all you can eat

    Salmon cone, tuna Veracruz style MX roll
    Shirley P.

    This place is located inside the Grand Oasis Cancún, the resort we stayed at, and it's one of the highlights of my stay. Thank God for Maki Taco. I'm so happy that they allowed me to dine in here with my blue wristband. It's a Mexican Japanese fusion restaurant. I was close to breaking point on this trip because I was tired of having fried chicken tenders, French fries or chicken wings, and this place saved the day. I literally inhaled this food. I started off with their chicken broth lime soup with rice noodles and tofu, followed by the tuna Veracruz style MX roll, 2 bowls of vegetable yakimeshi rice, and their salmon cone. I love how clear and soothing the broth was, the rolls were decent I've had better, the rice was what really sealed the deal for me as it was so delicious and I wanted more, and the salmon cone is a seaweed wrapped on the outside -- in the US we call that a temaki aka hand roll. My partner was saying how I looked like I hadn't eaten for days -- it's so true considering this is up against chicken tenders and French fries. I needed a change so bad, and I'm so happy we were able to dine in here. They also made me the most delicious tequila sunrise. We were also trying to hurry up and eat to get ready for the 4pm wedding on Saturday. Thankfully the staff were wonderful and quickly brought out our food. We both enjoyed our meals. It was filling and satisfying. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the Grand Oasis Cancun resort to check this place out, and I think it's a brilliant concept to put their own spin on traditional Japanese food and to blend two cultures together. I wish I would've came here sooner and would've came back everyday for my meals.

Food was decent! They brought out special dessert to celebrate special occasion. Really loved it. Second visit: We walked in for dinner, busy. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and we were as patient as can be. Tables around us received seconds before we ever got our original order. I was looking forward to dinner but it was about an hour and I gave up. We got up and informed the front that the wait was too long and other tables after us received better service. Things happen. The manager on duty apologized. Second visit didn't ruin my thoughts on Moongate. Their menu is great and the atmosphere was lovely.

In terms of restaurant options at the Hyatt Ziva, I would put Moongate kinda in the middle tier. It was basically one the meals we were fine with and would consider going back while we were at the resort. 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.

Assorted seafood with great freshness Salmon tartar: an okay Sushi: the first one on the menu, do not recommend Scallops in wasabi: scallops were perfectly cooked. Wasabi in this restaurant is very weak :/ Coconut soup: very disappointing, nothing like tom yum nor tom kha Shoyu ramen: I liked the seafood in it more than the noodle Lamb: our only main entry, sauce was great, lamb was juicy I asked our waiter if we ordered too much and he replied yes. After finishing everything, I ordered three desserts out of four choices LOL Coconut Ganache: very tasty Chocolate cake: great with green tea ice cream Rice pudding: sticky rice was a bit hard Overall a great dinner with lots of seafood!

Yep that whole thing was fried, rice was warm and shrimp was crispy. That is how it's supposed to be. I had the pork belly with crispy noodles. It was definitely melt in your mouth and had little fat pieces, only the best served here! The seafood ramen was great, just needed more noodles lol. It had mussels, shrimp, scallop, and octopus. I also had duck confit which was a little salty in my opinion. One night for room service, i had the tempura shrimp and veggies, definitely thin batter and excellent spicy mayo ever! I also had the kung pao shrimp with noodles, sauce was kickin and I was enjoying with joy! My favorite dish! For dessert, we had the chocolate ganoche which was a little too sweet. I came here twice and ordered it for room service, and they rolled out a new menu on my second visit. Definitely a different experience each time but i cant keep but coming back bc i love asian food.

I wasn't too hungry, so we shared a roll dragon roll and the coconut milk rice pudding with mango slices. Service was very nice, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy either of the items we ordered. The dragon roll didn't seem fresh and the mango sauce did not complement the other ingredients in the roll. The dessert was also not what I was expecting. The presentation was nice, but frankly, it was awful. Maybe we just chose the wrong things to eat, but I didn't enjoy any of the food there.

Last night, I was getting over a case of the yucky-tummies from suspected bad food on Isla Mujeres several days back, and the other four headed out to Himitsu for dinner. They liked it, and given I was feeling much better today they recommended I join them for a repeat tonight. Saturday night, 7:00pm. The indoor seating was at capacity, so they offered us seating outside or in the enclosed bar area. Given it was about 85*F out and 90% humidity with ambient mosquitoes as hungry as we were, we opted for the indoor bar. Waiter Carlos was so helpful and awesome, and took all our orders. I started with an appetizer of the Warm Noodle salad with Chuca Wakame and seared beef. Son N ordered a bowl of miso. The others, with lighter appetites, skipped the apps and went straight for their dinner orders. The noodle salad had great flavor and was moderately spicy. However, the noodles were undercooked and still crunchy. The beef was fine but nothing to rave about. There was only the slightest bit of wakame (green seaweed) on the plate, so basically it was spicy crunchy noodles. The flavors showed promise but had too many technical flaws to give this a pass. 2*. Son's shiromiso soup was lovely--decent flavor, soft cubes of tofu. Good miso. The dinner arrived. We ordered a round of all of their nigirizushi (fish on rice) selections, which tonight consisted of Tuna, Salmon, Mahi-mahi, Shrimp and Octopus. We also ordered a few orders of salmon rolls and an order of the scallop sashimi. Now, Asian and Japanese food is one area where I tend to grade on a curve--no one reasonably expects amazing sushi or Asian fusion in Mexico. This is one area where you kind of have to let go of your "Pacific Northwest Expectations" and compare them to other like places in the local area. That said, on the whole, these weren't bad. I'd put the quality and flavor into the same category as the cheaper conveyor-belt sushi places at home--not bad by any means but certainly not boutique basement-sushi-bar quality either. The salmon and tuna were decidedly average. The Shrimp was good. The salmon rolls (forgiving that they have no clue how to properly roll makizushi) were surprisingly tasty and the runaway surprise hit of the night was the octopus nigiri. Look, octopus is a super-easy-to-screw-up meat. One minor slip up and you have the culinary equivalent of a rubber tire on rice. This was PERFECTLY steamed and as tender as I've ever had it--totally caught me off guard. Son said he had it the prior night and it was rubbery, so there is some variance here but I was happy to consume tonight's product. Scallop sashimi was absolutely tasteless. A quality scallop has a creamy, sweet flavor. These had scallop texture but just zero flavor. I'm pretty sure these were frozen and thawed which is an absolute no-no for anything served as sashimi. I ordered the "Crispy Duck, cooked in 5 spices broth, marinated with cognac, honey and lime, deep fried and served with Chinese pancake, hoisin sauce and vegetables". Now, if you read that on a menu, what would you imagine you'd be served? I'll give you a few seconds... ... Okay, time's up. I received three duck tacos in one of those metal taco-holders. Mind you, they were REALLY good duck tacos, but this is about the farthest divergence from a menu description I've had yet. There was a definite crispness and the meat was flavored perfectly. Texture and flavor harmonized. I missed the hoisin sauce--either it never made it in there, or it was supposed to be served on the side and never was. They were still reasonably good even without the sauce. Wife and family friend ordered the same dish: the "Salmon supreme pafried (sic) in teriyaki sauce", which one of them also had last night. The flavors were great, though it was slightly over-cooked. They said last night's was better; tonight's was nothing memorable but last nights was excellent. Again, poor marks for consistency. Last night they also tried the ramen, and noted it wasn't all that great. The broth was "Mexican broth" and not a true Japanese pork broth. I've cooked real ramen at home. Doing it correctly takes about 24 hours and I doubt they're investing that kind of time in this kitchen. House cold sake was meh. Basic ginjo but was a little sweeter than the more dry varietals I prefer. In all, for Japanese-leaning at a Mexican resort, really can't complain too much. There were hits, misses, fantastic items and technical errors. All in all 3*s and perfectly okay.
