I had the new chicken sandwich, hot honey gochujang of course, and it was crunchy outside, tender inside, and with a super tasty sweet/spicy sauce. Quite frankly, it was craveable. Hubby got an assortment of tacos and the pastor egg roll. He enjoyed it all and we even have leftovers to snack on so I can try them too. We both also enjoyed a couple happy hour margaritas. All told, the bill was 620 pesos before tip, incredibly reasonable IMO. We were there in a group of 11. Some had been before and some not, but all discussed going again. There are many more things on the menu we want to try!

One thing I would note is that the nigiri pieces are way too big and sit on far too much rice. The flavor is good, but the size makes them difficult to eat without having to break them apart first, which takes away from the experience a bit. The service could also improve. At one point, our server was seen adjusting his pants with his hands and then handling our plates afterward, which wasn't very hygienic or professional. Other than those things, everything else was very good and we did enjoy the food. I would still go here again and hope to see a few small improvements.

We live in the Bay Area where Korean BBQ spots are everywhere, and we've tried a lot of them over…read morethe years. We've also eaten at many places in LA, which is known for having some of the best Korean food. We saw this place had pretty solid reviews, especially on Google, and even saw comments from people claiming they were Korean and from LA saying this place rivaled KBBQ spots there. Because of that, we came in with really high expectations. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. The restaurant is located upstairs, and the elevator ride alone almost made us turn around. It was extremely shaky and honestly felt unsafe at times. There were moments we thought it might actually drop. I would definitely recommend taking the stairs instead. We ordered the mixed combo with beef, chicken, and pork, along with soybean soup and steamed egg. The banchan selection was limited and overall the flavors were pretty underwhelming. The biggest issue though was the meat quality. Most of the meats were chewy, including the pork belly, which should have been much more tender because of the fat content. One thing we've noticed in Mexico compared to the US is that the meat quality in general often isn't quite the same, and this place really highlighted that for us. Honestly, Gen BBQ back in California is much better than this spot. I understand some people love this place because they cook over charcoal, but the cooking process took forever. Each meat took a long time to cook, and they had to replace the coals multiple times during the meal. The one thing that really stood out in a positive way was the steamed egg. It was honestly one of the best steamed eggs we've had. Super fluffy, airy, and cooked perfectly. If you're someone who really loves Korean food or Korean BBQ, I personally wouldn't recommend going out of your way for this place. There are much better options out there worth spending your money on.

She brought out a complimentary soup with rice, not sure if it was some sort of miso soup but it was delicious. My husband is not a huge sushi person so he ordered the Vegetable Bao and he absolutely loved it. I ordered a sushi roll that was also very tasty. Sadly, I do not remember the name and cannot find it in their menu to give it a name. Overall everything tasted very fresh and flavorful, and the prices were decent.

There's usually a wait to get in, which says a lot considering most of the other restaurants didn't have much of one. We waited about 30 minutes the first night and 15 the second, and after eating here, I can see why it's one of the more popular spots on the property. We started with several appetizers. The samosas were small but really good. The gyoza was fine, just your standard gyoza. The chicken satay was another highlight, with a really flavorful peanut sauce. The dumpling soup was okay and a little different than expected since it included noodles. For entrees, the mixed fried rice was excellent. It had some kind of unique seasoning that I couldn't quite identify, but it worked. The rice had great texture, and they definitely didn't skimp on the shrimp and chicken. The pad thai was pretty good too, although it leaned much sweeter than I expected. It almost reminded me of a really good upscale microwavable pad thai, with more sweet sauce than spice. The THAO was another standout. It's kind of their version of orange chicken, and it was really good. My only complaint is that the portion size felt a little small, so I'd recommend ordering something alongside it. The desserts were surprisingly great across the board. We tried almost all of them except the mango and turmeric dessert. My favorites were the carrot cake and the leche coconut dessert. Both were excellent. They also have a nice selection of signature cocktails. The Sakarita, a sake margarita, was okay. The Geisha was good if you enjoy the smoky flavor of mezcal. My girlfriend really liked the Leche Martini, and my favorite was the Buddha, which felt like their take on an Old Fashioned. Service was consistently good. What really stood out was that when we returned two nights later, our server immediately recognized us, welcomed us back, and genuinely asked how we had enjoyed our first visit. It felt sincere and not scripted, which was a nice touch. The only downside is that the restaurant is entirely outdoors. They do have fans, but on really humid nights it can be rough. The second time we visited, the humidity was intense, and even sitting directly in front of a fan I felt like I was melting. That's more of a weather issue than a restaurant issue, though. Overall, this was one of the best meals we had at the resort. Great food, good drinks, friendly service, and a menu that had several items worth ordering again. If you're only trying a few restaurants at Live Aqua, this should absolutely be one of them.

Came to Hidden Garden for one of our dinner for a special birthday celebration of my friend. The food was great and the ambiance was great. The service from our server was great. It was such a nice special touch for the chef to come out and ask how everything was, and the server brought out a birthday dessert for my friend. 5 stars on all of that. So why 2-stars then? The hostess of this place that evening was rude and out of place. We were all dressed VERY NICE in all black, however, one of the guy in our group's outfit was sleeveless. He was wearing a very nice leather sleeveless vest. Mind you, it wasn't a tank top, it wasn't swim wear, it wasn't athletic wear. It was an expensive leather vest, very fashionable. Nicer than all of the old men wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts or basic polo shirts. The hostess didn't allow him in until he changed to something that had sleeves. Friend changed and was allowed in. Once inside, he put the vest back on for photos since everyone in our group coordinated to be wearing black fashionably. On our way out of the restaurant, the hostess had the nerve to stop us and say something about it. Lesson here is, do better. We understand that there's dresscode, but know what should be acceptable or not. If it was a tank top, swim wear, or athletic wear, we'd definitely understand. But it was not, it was upscale and fashionable, just without the sleeve. Plus, women are allowed to be sleeveless but not men? What year do you live in? Train your hostess better.

"The fresh fish you just got in the ocean had been my favorite meal ever, until we ate here." They wouldn't let the drunk guy in the tank top in and the ambience was very nice, 2 stars for that alone. Service and drinks were on point as well. The Seared Ahi was unlike any I have ever had before. What an amazing mouthful of flavor. It was definitely an appetizer sized dish but really set the meal off on the right foot. I LOVED the Crispy Grouper with Tamarind sauce. It was crispy, flaky, flavorful and a great portion size. I was tempted to lick the plate clean it was so good. However, the Black Cod that she had was a whole other level of food. First off, I have been trying to get her to try asparagus grilled for a few months not to no avail, after trying theirs, she's begging me to do it for her. The Star of the plate though was definitely that cod. A generous piece of cod, perfectly marinated and so flaky that just picking up the layers with chopsticks allowed all the unctuous essence to hit your mouth all at once. I did not want to taste anything else after these amazing dishes but when they place their lava cake and vanilla ice cream in front of you, it's hard to say no. Even at $300 for our meal, we would definitely use that as our treat dinner for the week again. Now, if Vidanta could get their act together it would be perfect place to stay.

Pad Thai was very sour, orange chicken was tasty, the salmon roll was disappointing. Service and staff are always amazing and hard working, interior and ambiance are beautiful, the food just doesn't do these places justice at all.

It's worth more to share with friends, which is what we did.
