Curry not authentic flavor and spices. Sashimi needs more daikon radish. My family and I went to eat there twice in our week trip to Mexico City because my daughter loves Japanese food. Waiters were not welcoming (Daikoku in Condesa) they gave the impression that they were bothered by us when ordering a lot of food (we were a party of 7 and it was not busy at all) specially when we said we wanted filtered water. In general, I would go here in future trips only because it's Japanese food but I understand the limitations on produce resources in Mexico, locals eat more meat, cheese, tortillas and frijoles but very little vegetables.

We went on a Saturday night. We ordered two different kinds of udon, Nabeyaki and tempura. Both…read moreactually came with tempura. My wife, who is Japanese, thought that the tempura was expertly prepared. Batter was thin and the vegetables were crispy. The broth in the udon and the noodles were very good. We asked and the chef trained in Osaka. The service was also good.

I came here for my birthday because I love to celebrate my birthday with a great omakase. I have…read morebeen to the Santa Fe location before but since this one is the OG one I wanted to try this one. From the outside it looks like a cute spot from Japan which makes you feel like you teleported and the decor on the inside was very cute. The service was so great, everyone was nice and answered all my questions. From the moment I step foot inside they welcomed me in Japanese and Spanish which really gave to the teleporting vibe. The chef who did my omakase was so nice I wish I remembered his name but you can see him in the picture. His style of omakase was amazing and as we got to the end it just kept getting better and better. He had my dad and I saying "wow" over and over again. One of the courses that blew my mind was the fatty salmon nigiri with shaved frozen foie gras which gave it the perfect buttery texture wow. To top it off he gave us a Wagyu nigiri with uni on top which is literally butter on butter and I was so amazed. The other chef said wait till you try the eel with the foie gras and WOW like it just kept getting better and better. I left sooo full I couldn't finish my dessert even though it was delicious and I felt like I was going to explode so we walked around reforma. Some people think omakase will not fill you up but it sure does! Thank you so much to the team of Rokai for making my birthday amazing !

This place was an absolute hit. Some of the best sushi I've had in months…read more They have plenty of outdoor dining, and friendly, prompt service. They have a pretty extensive menu ranging from cold dishes like sushi to hot dishes like Ramen and rice bowls from next door. We started with two appetizers, the Gyoza and the Shishito peppers. The shishito peppers were excellent, and had a flavor I had never quite experienced with them before from whatever sauce they were made in. They were very delicious. The Gyoza was also very tasty, and had a hint of ginger that was a nice addition. For my meal, I ordered a bunch of pieces of nigiri. Every piece came out perfectly fresh and incredibly made, for an absolutely delicious experience. We finished off with the Matcha tiramisu, a dish I wasn't even expecting to be so incredible. I would love to go back for it, although frankly I'd love to go back to this place for everything I ate tonight. We also shared the strawberry mochi, which was so good we ended up ordering a second one. I'm already looking forward to returning here. All of this that I mentioned, plus the rice bowl that my cousin ordered, was only $80. It is pricey, but less pricey than I was expecting.

The place is small and very popular, so come with a bit of patience. The setup is super efficient: when you arrive, you place your order at a machine and wait outside. Once a spot opens up, they invite you in, and your food arrives within minutes. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen and was in pure umami heaven. The noodles had the perfect consistency, and the broth was incredibly flavorful without being overpowering. I also tried the gyozas, which were more like mini fried empanadas...crispy, savory, and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend this spot to any ramen lover. They really know what they're doing here!

They give you a welcome green tea/matcha which I loved. But the food?? The gyoza was the worst we have had in forever. Edamame was fine but weirdly under-salted. The ramen was bland, like dialed down for an American palate. And the chashu was overdone, again. Second ramen spot in CDMX with that same issue. If I lived in the neighborhood, sure. Going out of my way for it, no. Maybe we are ramen snobs. But this was just okay.

My group was 3 people and we all opted for a 7 course sampling of the chefs favs (one with just the fish option - pescatarian).

I'm only writing my review based on the ramen and nothing else…read more I've been fortunate enough to try different types of ramen in L.A. and in Japan. I was very excited to try this ramen since I saw people posting on a couple of subreddit so I decided to give it a try. I had the Tokusei ramen. For starters, the smell was a little odd and the broth was very light in color and weight. The chashu seemed to be undercooked and more on the soft side. Noodles texture was good but what caught me off guard was the egg. It had weird gray lines all over. At the beginning I thought it was the way they serve the egg but my son had the same ramen and his was normal. I asked to change it so they did. When I try it, it was also undercooked and flavorless. Overall I felt like the ramen felt short. My wife had the udon and it was very good. Also service was friendly. Maybe I'll come back to try their sashimi since I see people commenting good things about it.

I was fortunate enough so I was able to find a seat at the party immediately I was walking with a loud welcome or "bienvenido" but everyone in the kitchen.

I ordered the pork and chicken Ramen, which is served with corn something I've never experienced before.

We decided to go for it. We took a few seats at the bar. Sort of like a sushi bar vibe which was fine. We ordered miso soup, edamame, Tonkatsu ramen, gyudon and curry udon. I also got a single piece of fatty tuna or otoro. The ramen was tasty and the noodles were a bit firm which was good as I didn't have to rush to finish them before they went soggy. The pork Chashu was very pleasantly smoky and the egg was perfect. My son had the curry udon and the curry broth was beefy and flavorful with nice chunks of beef , the noodle had good springy texture. My wife's gyudon was very good as well and we took notice that the rice was short grain and authentically Japanese. I enjoyed the zesty pickled ginger that came with it too. Very good. Edamame we're just fine as well. Unfortunately, they forgot our miso soup but didn't forget to put it on the bill. We waited ten minutes after asking for the check and another ten waiting for them to correct the bill. Too long.. I also asked for a box to go but there was a misunderstanding and they tried to bring me saké. I think the music was simply too loud so "caja" (box) sounded like "sake" with the blaring music overhead. Just a bit frustrating. Overall, really quite good but the lax service and several mistakes prevent me from giving a higher rating. Really about 3.5 stars. I'd suggest turning the music down just a bit and reading/expediting orders more carefully. And when someone requests the bill don't leave them waiting for ten+ minutes. Also, there's no menu pics at the moment on Yelp but there is an extensive menu. If you're craving ramen or Japanese food in CDMX I'd recommend this place. Thanks! Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
