    Yellowtail with a hint of curry oil and ponzu

    Finally found a sushi bar that has good yellow tail. They have some great unique rolls and some delicious unique fusion dishes. Atmosphere is nice nestled in a spa like area. Indoor outdoor dining. The staff is friendly and bi lingual. Definitely a great place to go if you get a craving for sushi while in PV or NV. Worth the visit!

    So this is your stake, puff

    Nicksan - exceeding your expectations. Sure they did, with a horrible service we received and the joke of a food they sold us. The hardest and stubborn, waiter and manager you could find on all banderas bay. As an experienced tourist and yelp friend I recommend you to chose another restaurant this time, like Saku that is located on 3.14 plaza. Some dishes are ok, but others are just an insult to the client. The only good thing must be the scenery, with the exception of the water leakage that falls in your head and haven't been fixed since last time we came here.

    Yellowfin sashimi. Really good!

    Amazing food. Had a group of 4 and we got a variety of rolls, misoyaki fish, tempura plate, and sushi combo and all were fantastic.

    If you have the opportunity to eat at the Aki Samurai House in La Cruz, please do! I love sushi,…read morebut was worried that in Mexico, it wouldn't be up to my expectations. Was I wrong. Not only is the food amazing, the chef is an artist. The restaurant is struggling a bit at the moment, so I'm requesting that if people have the opportunity, please, please go have a meal there. Here are pictures of our dinner and the menu. Reservations are required, a few hours in advance, so that they can prepare for your arrival. A special shout out to Mercedes, who is a wonderful server and an amazing person.

DELICIOUS honest to goodness SUSHI, with high end US/CAN Resturant quality. 3. There is a "Sushi" resturant in Bucerias whereby if this "unnamed resturant" could speak virtually to Aki Samurai those hearing the conversation would think that a 1st Grader was speaking to someone with a Post Doctorate degree. 4. Like other High Quality Sushi Restaurants understand that you'll "Get What You Pay For" 5. Finally I urge you to go and try this place! I go there religiously and I give this my highest recommendation to you!! And if Pictures Can Tell a Thousand Words I will leave with these: (Note - this is a Reservation Only resturant. They do this so as to ensure they will be ready to prepare for you ONLY the freshest and most flavorful sushi and sashimi available having spent 1 or 2 days ahead of your visit sourcing it -- [WHO DOES THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE?] ) Bon Appétit - Enjoy in Good Health...

We ordered unagi nigiri, gyoza and spicy edamame for appetizers. The edamame was not spicy at all so heat is not an issue. The gyoza was perfectly cooked with yummy dipping sauce and the unagi presentation chefs kiss. We ordered chicken curry, fried rice, steak salad and beef tenderloin. We all were very happy with our food selections. I noticed they offered Korean barbecue and a tappanyaki dinner as well. Lots of dining options at Gong. Location is close to the Grand Mayan.

We sat outside on the decking overlooking the man made lake and changing lights on the lush foliage surrounding it. Unfortunately the water light show was not operational this week but the setting was still beautiful and romantic. Eduardo was our estute waiter who spoke perfect English and made wonderful recommendations. We started with a couple of appetizers: the edamame and the ribeye asparagus rolls - both were delicious. Then for our entrees, we had the black cod and the Chilean Seabass. Both presentations were mouthwatering and the fish were extremely fresh, extremely flavorful and flaky. They came with bowls of steamed white rice and a choice of two soy sauce variations. The citrus variety was my favorite. We had amazing cappuccinos from scratch made for us. Another two options we could have done was hibachi or Korean BBQ. Both looked like fun experiences maybe on a future trip. Thank you Gong for making our dinner experience so memorable.

Very friendly and attentive. I know they got swamped so it stayed off well then there was some delay on request for water etc but overall good service, very nice and friendly staff. Athmosphere of this restaurant was great. Casual but nice, clean, modern, welcoming and cozy. The inside has I think 7 tables but they also have outdoor seating at the back and at the front. All the seating nice. It's located in a row of restaurants and business catered to tourists so you'll see it safe and quite nice little place.
