We were staying in Cabo during a tropical storm and decided to return to Nicksan after our last trip here sometime ago. I have to say it is delightful environment inside and the food was amazing as always, some of the best sushi. Not California gringo sushi which a bunch of non- fresh deep fried fish. The fish was extremely fresh. Some of the freshest I've had and I would say the flavors were more authentic and traditional. I have no I idea why this place would be rated four stars. Service was impeccable and overall the meal costs far less than a mediocre meal at our hotel, so overall amazing! read more

Staple of BCS with more than 2 decades serving consistently top quality and fresh ingredients, bringing Japanese techniques with a Mexican touch that will satisfy your palate and don't get me started on the beautiful view, it's the perfect spot for great dining and sip some chilled Japanese Sake, cocktail or tequila. Service is very attentive and well trained, so let them guide you for a better experience! read more

Despite the higher price point and slowish service, I'm still giving Nicksan 5 stars and would absolutely return. They had a great selection with super fresh fish and everyone who tended to us was so kind. I don't want to go to a place with "cheap" sushi. I believe the quality here is reflected in the price. Amazing sashimi and nigiri with super fresh, soft, buttery fish. Best sushi I've found in Cabo so far. read more

Food was lovely; best sushi experience my wife and I have ever had. Service was hands on and custom! Thanks again! read more

Unfortunately I came here at a time when I couldn't eat raw seafood. So I had to get their other food, which was not what I really wanted. My husband said the sushi was "great" (and he's a chef, so a bit of a pro). Unfortunately, my chicken teriyaki was only 1/2 good. They used half white meat and half dark meat. The white meat was so dry I couldn't even eat it. The dark meat was great. I encourage the chef to switch to all dark meat and that will make a wonderful dish. The decor was elegant and beautiful. The hostess was extremely attentive and welcoming. The service: they tried. There was a lot of staff but they didn't always get the timing right. And we waited much too long at the end to get our check after asking for it. read more

Absolutely the best sushi! Service was wonderful. But be ready to pay. Worth every penny!

We were surprised at how many dishes they could do with five types of fish. Everyone was extremely kind and checked in many times on how the service was going. We were satisfied, considering that we were in Mexico eating Omakase. The negative is it was my wife's birthday and they didn't acknowledge it despite asking me for the spelling of her name. read more

Great food. Tuna tartar and vegetable tempura were legit. This is our go to place in Cabo.

One of the BEST Japanese restaurants I have ever had. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The service was phenomenal and the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. highly recommended this restaurant to anyone visiting who is looking to eat authentic Japanese sushi. Everything was rich with flavor. Highly recommend the homemade gyoza as these were delicious and packed with amazing flavor. read more

Didn't think what we ordered few days ago made us want to return to this restaurant. Drinks: Old Fashion (ask to either give one big ice or much lesser ice). Appetizer: Kumamoto Oysters. Add a tad of wasabi and ginger, before popping it in your mouth. To die for! Main: Misoyuki Fish and Kara-Age Spicy Soft Shell Crab. read more

Amazing and well worth a visit. I dined as part of a group of 30 and was amazed at the exceptional food but most impressed by the quick, professional and unobtrusive service. Regularly I would notice that my water was refilled quietly and unobtrusively and completed plates were quietly removed and replaced with the next course - the staff allowed me to stay engaged in my conversations without interruption - the focus was on serving me, not questions and conversations with the server, and when I did have a question, the staff was at my side to quietly and professionally answer my question. Exceptional at every level. read more

Go to Nick San in Cabo San Lucas instead! The service is okay, they messed up our order, and served the people sitting next to us within minutes yet out meals took way longer even though they were waaay smaller. I came to Nick San in San Lucas and had a wonderful experience, however this Nick San location in San Jose truly lacks. The taste was mediocre , the service delayed, and it was honestly just okay. If I would've known it wasn't going to be the same as the one in San Lucas I would've just stayed in my hotel room and had amazing sushi from "El Nido" inside Viceroy where I'm staying. I'm giving three stars because I'm nice, I honestly wanted to give less but the view is nice and my love for cabo wins . read more

AMAZING fresh sushi, Impeccable service and amazing experience overall. I've been to several sushi restaurants including high-end ones like NOBU, and the quality has never been as good as it was here. You really taste the freshness of the fish, the presentation is amazing and you leave wanting more! We ordered truffle laced sashimi (to die for) a salmon wrapped creamy roll with AVO and a tuna tostada that was mouth watering! Everything was AMAZE. The service here truly makes you feel as though you are VIP, there is nothing bad I could say. read more

Nicks San has been my favorite Japanese restaurant ever since I had the opportunity to go to Japan, Before going to japan I thought that sushi and Japanese food had the same flavor as the Sushi from local restaurants in mexico, how wrong I was!! Mexican sushi has nothing to do with the real flavor of real Japanese food and in that regard only Nick San success and only people who have been to japan will automatically recognize for example Nick San's miso soup flavor as it is identical as the one from the restaurants of the country of the rising sun read more

Pretty place with very gracious hostess welcome. Cocktail, a blackberry marghertia, was fine. Hot tea menu was nice. Miso soup was lukewarm. Main dishes did not come out concurrently, so eating was staggered and awkward. Seabass teriyaki seemed promising, though very late to the table, but was bizarre. Totally smothered in a clawing teriyake sauce which overwhelmed the dish and one could not even discern it was fish at all. Pasta side was not inviting, didn't try it, seemed incongruous to a Japanese entreee. Young, well meaning waiter was no where to be found. Ordered bottled water, but the bottle was never put on our table and we only had 2.5 glasses so that was a mystery. read more

Service was great, lots of attentive waiters. The gyoza was amazing with shrimp and fish, very unique and the soft shell crab was delicious as well. The salmon skin handroll was OK, only 2 pieces of salmon in it, I liked the avocado touch but wish they had more salmon skin in the roll. We also ordered few sushi and decided to go with local fish and it was just OK. I guess the rice was a bit different than what we are used to in California, it tasted the same but the texture was different, it seemed rounder and harder. Overall it was a good experience in a nice upscale environment. read more

The ambiance is great. Service was very good. However, it doesn't matter how good the food is because my son got food poisoning from his meal. Could be travelers diarrhea or bad fish. He was sick for days of our vacation. Not worth it. For a restaurant this pricey (our bill for 3 adults was nearly $300 USD) to get sick is completely unacceptable. read more

Best sushi meal I have every experienced. And one of the best overall meals I've ever had.

Amazing Japanese experience. With surprisingly rich dishes! For some reason, at the time of this review, Nicksan is #2 in the area...

Ate dinner here last night the service was impressive we had the lobster roll the best roll we have ever eaten all of the sushi was fresh the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful it has a great ocean view and easy parking I would eat here every day read more

Some of the best rolls I've ever had, Afra is the best waitress I've ever had, so nice and always attentive to us as guests. The noki roll is to die for and we are going to come back when we are back in town. Thank you Afra! read more

Highly recommend the Tuna Tostada, hairy balls, Toro, Hamachi, and Sake. The rolls were okay, not great. Service was really good. Great experience. read more

The selection of sushi rolls was modest but what we did have was decent and the maguro was top-notch. However, this was the noisiest restaurant I've ever set foot in. To further dilute the experience, our server was quite curt and unfriendly. No reason for us to return on a future trip to Cabo. read more

One of our favorites in Cabo. Sushi is excellent. Service was wonderful. Very nice atmosphere.

So glad we came here - our favorite restaurant so far in Cabo! Tuna tostada 5/5 - sooo good! Gyoza 5/5 - handmade dumplings! Sashimi Cilantro 5/5 - I normally don't like sashimi But this was so delicious' Shrimp Chasoba 5/5 - a Mexican and Asian version of Shrimp Carbonara Lobster Sambaya 5/5 - their twist on a sweet and sour lobster infused with ginger and spices! Portions here were very large. We ate everything above between my husband and I and we were very very full. The lobster dish could easily be shared between 2 people. Truly a gem in Cabo - loved the fusion of Mexican and Japanese. We will definitely be returning :) read more

Service and food were great! The team there is so great at creating quality good and experiences.

I love sushi and sashimi. I've lived in Japan for years and hunted down the best places I can find in the US and this beats them all. Stunning presentation, creative flavors (truffle soy sauce!) and amazing service. The fish was perfectly cut. I'm impressed. I'm here for a week and they might literally see me every day. ;) bravo read more

Sushi was not all that for what they are charging and the service was very lacking after sitting for 20 minutes I had to call someone over to finally take our drink order and then had to call someone back to take our food order. We arrived at 5:30pm on Friday 10-14-22 and there was hardly anyone there so it's not like they were crowded. read more

While the food was quite good, we were very let down by the service. I had put in our reservation notes that we were celebrating our engagement, the host even confirmed this with me when I went to the bathroom. You would think they would do something special for this considering the entire restaurant sang for the birthday next to us, instead we sat around for almost an hour waiting for the check thinking something else might be coming. Very disappointed for a $200 dinner. read more

Nick San has been consistently the best restaurant in Cabo for over 20 years . This is the one restaurant you dont want to miss . Chef Angels signature dishes are some of the best I have ever tasted Anywhere. Cabo would not be the same without Nick San. I cant wait to dine there again . Always an amazing culinary experience. Thanks you for so many years of excellent service . read more

Absolutely authentic first class sushi... in Mexico! You will find an amazing menu with all the sushi favorites a sushi fan might be looking for, plus a wide selection of unique fusion dishes. This being only our second visit here, we stuck with favorite standards like tempura roll, Philadelphia roll, etc. All were excellent! However, we ventured off our standards when it came to desert... grabbing the fried ice cream. We were NOT disappointed. read more

Nicksan - The sign that shines at night! - Japanese Near Me - San José del Cabo, BCS

One of our worst restaurant experiences in Cabo. The sushi is so thick with rice you have to deconstruct it before even attempting to eat it. Plus they use imitation crab. The spicy fish dish was not spicy at all, and tasted frozen. Service was mediocre and ambiance non existent. My wife had chicken teriyaki and said it tasted worse than frozen alternatives. Additionally the entrees were supposed to be accompanied by rice (more) and came with cold noodles and cold green veggies. They called a taxi that never arrived when we left. I called a new one which showed up in 5 minutes. I will assume the taxi service failed but it didn't feel like that was the case. Maybe the main restaurant in Los Cabos is better...one can only hope. read more

Nick San at The Palmilla Shops started off very strong. Food was excellent. Loved the gyoza stuffed with seafood. And the sashimi serranito. And the dynamite scallops. But the service was way off. We got a Lime Maguro roll even though we had not ordered it - we had just asked the waiter to describe it. They didn't even put in our friends' special eel roll order. Forgot their Tekka Don. Then they ghosted us. We literally were walking out the front door towards our Uber when they ran out with our check. I'll try it one more time to see if it was just an off night. read more

Service was great and the well staffed restaurant was beautiful and clean. We had a few great dishes. The Salmon Yuzu was my favorite by far. Tuna Tostada, Cilantro Sashimi and Tuna Black and White Sashimi were also very tasty. Sent back the Scallop Dynamite appetizer as the scallops appeared old and did not taste fresh. My husband has an iron stomach and will eat literally anything, and even he agreed it needed to be sent back. Staff had no problem substituting it for something else. Overall, great experience, just don't eat the scallops. read more
