Their ramen was rich with a complex depth of umami flavors which balanced perfectly with the springy noodles and tender pork. The bowl is massive but I could genuinely eat the whole thing! As a ramen connoisseur, I can proudly say that this is one of the best bowls I've ever had. And to end it all off, the Matcha Tiramisu was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. I absolutely love this spot!! Their service is fast and incredibly kind and joyful. Additionally, the ambiance is calming and feels high end but still with a quality of casual. You MUST try this spot if you admire amazing asian cuisine or want a break from tacos for dinner!

We both got the classic ramen, and sad to say the broth lacked flavor, had to put a lot of soy sauce to put flavor. The shrimp tempura was nice and crunchy, chicken karage was a generous portion.

This place deserves 20 stars if possible. Found this by searching up places and it's great reviews…read moreand this place did not disappoint. It's in a trendy area and upscale although we came dressed mor casual. It's on the second floor and has amazing ambiance. We ordered the dynamite roll, crispy spicy tuna, truffle salmon, miso soups, caterpillar roll and tuna truffle roll. The truffle roll has to be one of the most amazing rolls I've ever eaten, if you like truffle of course. Everything else was amazing as well. The dynamite roll was great and I highly recommend literally everything we had. They also have great drinks, we had a mexcal maracuja drink and lychee martini as well as hot sake. For dessert we chose the tres leche cake and the truffle ice cream cream brûlée. If I say I have never tastes anything as amazing probably almost in my life as this truffle ice cream!! I know if we would have gone to a restaurant of this magnitude in the states it would have cost double of what we paid here. The service was excellent and Samuel and everyone was so attentive.

Wrong, the food was great, beautiful people seated everywhere and friendly, warm servers. Smoking was allowed in the restaurant. Even though none of our party smoked, the tables were spaced far apart enough that it wasn't an issue. Very, very good sushi/sashimi. Not Masa, Nobu or Morimoto good, but could hold its own amongst most other well regarded Japanese restaurants. Glad we were able to find this so close to our Polanco hotel. If you're looking for good sushi/sashimi in CDMX, you won't be disappointed here.

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency & since this restaurant is located in my hotel we found out that this restaurant is the original restaurant before it was the Hyatt Regency & glad they kept it! I ordered a few appetizers; gyoza, edamame, tempura, & sashimi. They have this; soy sauce, vinegar, fresh Serranos marinating altogether & used it on everything! Be sure to get a bowl of that for your sushi also, especially if you like spicy. All the desserts we ordered were excellent. If you roam around the restaurant, I highly recommend doing so, this place is massive & traditional ambiance is beautiful, I sure don't see anything like this in America but, in Japan. Anything you order you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

The noodles soak it all in, and every bite feels layered without trying too hard. What I liked most is that it doesn't feel overcomplicated--just solid flavors done right.

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.
