They were gracious to sit our large group, outside, and tucked away into our own corner. The staff (literally from the host to the folks clearing tables and assisting servers with running food) was friendly and very curteous. The food was delicious (I think we finished everything we ordered)! And the drinks were flowing. It was, literally, everything we could/would have wanted from an all-inclusive dining experience!

Our experience was very different than from what we are used to in Hawaii and California. This is definitely not a kid-friendly restaurant if your child doesn't eat seafood or anything spicy. That seemed to be the only options here other than their take on miso soup. Our poor daughter left hungry and we left feeling much to be desired. I was hoping that there would be more vegetable tempura or simple agedashi tofu options, but... I was definitely surprised to see how packed this restaurant was nightly as they always had quite the check-in line. I probably ate the wrong dishes while I was there since I didn't leave impressed at all.

The "Hamachi" (yellow tail) was a bite that melted in your mouth, I ended up getting a couple rounds of these 2-piece bites. the rolls were great all around, you really cannot go wrong with any choice here.

Soft shell crab roll was really oily, and the roll fell apart too easily. It crumbled with a small pinch of my chopsticks.

The person who took our order was kind and patient. I may make a bold statement that this is the best asian restaurant we have had on our trip to cancun. It is cheap (compared to the other local asian spots), the portions are awesome, and the food is delicious. The food does take awhile to come out, so be prepared to wait a bit. Salmon onigiri - huge piece. its a simple dish and so we didnt expect much, but they didnt disappoint. Well balanced, salmon not too salty and rice is good. Tsukemen - noodles were cooked just right. Broth on its own was very flavorful. Portions are smaller than i am used to, but it made sense for the price. Egg was jammy and marinated with flavor. It was interesting to see sprouts in it but i'll take it. Paitan Ramen - noodles were perfectly cooked. Good umami, not too salty. Balaned. Generous with the meat. ended up putting the onigiri in here and it elevated the dish for our liking.

The sashimi slices are superduper, thin and dressed with delicious tasty sauces. The sashimi on top of seaweed salad was also delicious. We were able to taste every plate on the sashimi list (Hamachi is a MUST get) and got a couple rolls (spicy crab is sooo good) to enjoy. And omg I HIGHLY recommend the miso crème brûlée!
