OMG! Nothing but good things to say about our time at The…read moreLost Tiki last night. Fun atmosphere, great service, and seriously yummy food. 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!

I would shy away from the kung pao dish. It's a little too saucy and was just okay. However keep in mind I'm resistant to different twists to the dish so it's a personal thing. Still we finished it up . The egg rolls were good I would recommend this place for the ambience, excellent service and solid food preparation.

Our date night in Centro last weekend included dinner at SushiClub Playa del Carmen, which kind of…read morecame down middle of the road for me. To be honest, I normally avoid places with lots of Philly cream cheese rolls, but with hamachi sashimi on the menu we decided to give it a try. We had: Hamachi Sashimi thin cut-it was really thin, I would get thick cut if going again. But the fish was of good quality and tasty. Tuna Serranito-very spicy with decent quality tuna. A good dish. New York Tuna Roll-basic roll with decent fish, but the rice was very dry. Grey Goose Martinis-tasted watered down. Service however was quite good. Would I return? Maybe. It was a decent sushi meal (I have definitely had worse). But I am hoping there is better out there in Playa.

Similar to a Beni-Hana, we arrived early for our seating but when we made reservations, I wasn't aware that it was for the Hibachi. We were seated amongst three other couples and it's the same routine as if you were at a Beni-Hana. We liked it so much we came two days later and had the restaurant side with sushi. The sushi and Japanese dishes were quite good. Overall, I highly recommend dining here. The food was better than any of the other restaurants at Valentin.

We also enjoyed the stuffed squid appetizer. We ordered the hamachi sashimi special and the salmon tiradito - with the latter being cold to the point there were icy bits and the sauce was overwhelming. But it wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed. I'll skip it next time, but it was alright for what it was.

This was probably the best restaurant we had out of the three that we tried while staying at the…read moreresort. They have an a la carte menu and also a hibachi/twos Yaki style seating. You have to make reservations before coming and we made ours same-day, so the hibachi wasn't an option for us. There were still great options on the a la carte menu though, and we enjoyed all of the sushi options that we selected. The dessert was my favorite part though. I wish I ordered five of those fried banana spring roll desserts! The coconut sticky rice dessert was also yummy but it needed some mangoes or more fruit. The mango sorbet was very refreshing and a great way to end our meal. We shared a teriyaki chicken for the main course and it was okay, a bit on the drier side but none of the other main courses caught my eye. If you're hungry though, make sure you order individual dishes since everything is small portions, including the dessert! Service was probably the best at this restaurant too. They were very good at explaining what each dish was, versus other restaurants with family style where they dropped the food and left (and that was for prix fixe menus where you really don't know what's being served!). They even brought special welcome drinks at the beginning of the meal. They also have a kids menu with several options including American food which was perfect for our son who was in a chicken tender and French fries mood that day.
