I started with the miso which was warm and tasty, a generous portion. I moved on next to the eel, hotate, Suzuki sea bass, and chu toro nigiri. The scallops and sea bass were amazing. In face the sea bass was so good i ordered the sea bass tiradito... of my goodness, the aroma of truffle oil? SO GOOD! A must try! The restaurant is elegant and backs up to the ocean. Other than wishing the menu had more people American prices as well, this was the perfect experience topped off by a delicious birthday surprise!

A new try for me recommended by my very good friend. The service was very good. The food was very delicious. The drink I had (Geisha's Memories) was uniquely served in a plastic globe on a bed of crushed ice in a wooden box. Very creative and delicious. A lot of a la carte dishes. But still very good. The sunset views were so beautiful. A definite must go!

Seafood is fresh and delicious. Asian food in Mexico with fusion inspired dishes like risotto, fried taco with seaweed and poke, plantain chip appetizers. Service is incredible. The folks here are so on top of it. Around $700 USD for 8 people. Very pricey, fine dining ambiance and price tag. Most dining in the hotel zone is expensive. Outdoor dining at sunset is beautiful. Lighting is immaculate.

600$ for this very expensive but fair in flavor. I'd say I'd come back but honestly I'd look for other options. I felt sick after eating here & so did my friend. I saw another similar review but felt like i'd give them a chance.

One of the most exceptional party dinners! So much energy and the food was firing on all cylinders! The salmon sashimi here is WOW! Some of the best I've ever tasted, simply melt in your mouth! We ended up doing a full second order it was so damn good. The steak tartare is excellent, well seasoned. All the seafood is superb! The waiters are party time energy all night! They keep everything running from all aspects so even as you're dancing, drinks keep getting filled, courses keep coming, etc! The performances here are some of my fav! Love the fire show and the live musicians! It's all worth the hype! Go!

Appetizers, yes to all fish ones but no to octopus rice balls

First of all, VERY expensive so don't come here if you have a tight fist on your wallet as this place is priced like it's a restaurant in DTLA (downtown Los Angeles). Second of all, decent Asian food in Cancun. The fish tasted fresh, and they had sushi, dumplings, and seafood galore. We had a table of 13 as we were here for a bachelorette. It was 8pm on a Friday night of early March and was fairly empty outside since it was super windy and hair flying. The patio string lights across the sky and connected to gorgeous bar gave a magical ambiance. Hearing the ocean waves behind us while we eat was just happiness. The waiters were very nice and understanding of what we wanted to order. They were quick at removing plates and keeping us hydrated with water and drinks. However they got a bit pushy when the dance songs came on and want you to all get up and dance. When the dude comes around to pour a shot in your mouth he steps all over the seats and people stand on the tables which made me think like ew the table is icky from shoes. Food: We did family style and shared the different plates. They were able to accommodate vegetation diets and brought that person their own variation of the meal. Pretty much everything was amazing. The lobster came in the tail shell, shrimp in the actual shrimp body, and fish and sushi expertly plated and pretty looking. My only complaints was the wagyu was too salty and the dumplings were meh and the octopus rice balls were not good way too much rice. Drinks: - Geishas Memories - vodka, sweet and fruity and came in a cool ball cup with flicker light. - Espresso Martini - the best one we've ever had in our life that most of got this and a second round

The servers were there at our every move, welcoming us, clearing plates, bringing fabulous plate after plate of appetizers, our main courses and no room for dessert. The food was on point and the ambience perfect. We spent a pretty penny but well worth it!

Roll that they brought out with avocado after asking us twice about allergies and me saying I'm allergic to avocado in Spanish and English.
Esther L.

Some good, some bad. Ribeye steak, terribly chewy and did not really look or taste like ribeye. Miso black cod was tough and did not taste like black cod. veggie tempura is meh. Duo tartare was delightful. Salmon roll with tempura shrimp pretty solid. Mushroom curry, AMAZING. Now for the service. Oh my goodness the service. As soon as we sat down, the server asked if we're celebrating anything. We said my dad and sister's birthday. They said, "amazing! Let's celebrate with tequila, after all you're in Mexico, right?" And then proceeded to bring out top shelf tequila bottles while acting as if they were going to provide a house tequila shot for the birthdays. They're selling a shot of an $80 bottle for $50. The hostess had asked if we had allergies. I said I'm allergic to avocado. The waiter then asked again if anyone has allergies. I said I'm allergic to avocado. So I stated I'm allergic to avocado twice, and yet our food came out with avocado. When I mentioned it to them, they said they'd fix it and bring a roll without avocado. Then they just brought me another one of the other roll I had already tried. I wanted to try the roll I had ordered, but without avocado. Anywho, they charged me for this roll for "fixing their mistake." Shortly thereafter the veggie tempura came out. With a fried half avocado. The server charged us for two bottles of water when we only had one. Whether he snuck in a new bottle of water without asking or he just charged us, nobody at my table ever ordered extra water. We were pressured to tip more than we wanted to, and then pressured us to write reviews. If you're ok with horrible service and extremely overpriced food, the food is pretty decent here. You're really paying for the view. It's a very nice restaurant, but I absolutely hated the service.

First off, our meal was incredible and the experience was once in a lifetime. We were treated like kind and queen and had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Unfortunately we feel like we were taken advantage of and were left with a bill that made our jaw drop and will never sit right. I will take some ownership and say that clearly we were naive and the language barrier and American customs clearly played a roll. All the food and cocktails we would have happily paid for. But was caused our bill to go through the roof was 2 glasses of tequila and a bottle of champagne. We were given 2 very expensive glasses of tequila when we sat down. We were given an option as to what kind of tequila, but it was presented in a way that made it seem like it was free because of our anniversary. Had we known we would have never ordered it, my wife doesn't even like tequila. Very similar situation with the champagne it wasn't an option as to whether or not we wanted champagne just what type. Again had we known we would not have ordered. Please heed the warning. Not to not eat here, but be very clear what you are paying for.

We came here on a Tuesday night for my boyfriends birthday and I believe Cancun was just entering into the off-season at the end of August so there were maybe 6-10 other couples even though this restaurant can seat a ton of people. We ordered and tried a little bit of everything. They brought out some plantain chips in a thick substance as a complimentary dish. I didn't care too much for the thick substance but the chips were good. We also ordered shrimp and ginger Gyoza which was delicious. The edamame was great but we honestly hadn't had many veggies during this trip so thought it would be a good idea to order edamame which I think tastes the same in every country so it was good. We also tried the tartare platter and loved it. The rice cracker with the tuna and hamachi tartare were the best but the salmon tartare didn't trail too far behind. I got the short rib with fried rice which was absolutely excellent! The flavors were delicious. The only thing I didn't love was that the restaurant was in an Uber dead zone so we had to ride in an overpriced taxi to get back to the resort.

Shrimp, salmon & toro nigiri
Diane L.

Warning to all new customers "ADD UP TOTAL PRICE BEFORE YOU ORDER" because it will cost you a pretty penny. On my recent visit to Cancun I went to Tora to eat. I ordered 3 sushi rolls and 3 orders of nigiri. My total ended up costing $147, which seems overpriced for what it was. For the price I paid I don't think it was best and I didn't get WOWed from the sushi rolls itself. For the nigiri one order is 1pc. Usually from sushi places I have visited each nigiri order is 2 pc. The service itself was good, the gentlemen was attentive. The ambiance of the place was nice. Lastly, the thing I don't like is when I'm being charged for tipped and not being told. For a party of two "propina (tip)" was already applied as a charge. Without us asking our server once we got our bill, we would of tipped twice without realizing it.I don't mind tip being added if I was being told at first but, in my opinion I believe gratuity should be added in to one's check if it's a party of at least 4-5 people. I wasn't truly satisfied for what I paid for :/

Fire show on the terrace
Sherree D.

What a fun place! Admittedly, we didn't know what we were getting into when we walked into this restaurant. We had heard the food was excellent (and it was!) but we expected a typical high-end dining experience - and this was anything but typical. In fact, we found it a little off-putting at first. The EDM music was loud, the cocktails were served with strobe lights and/or sparklers, there were hookah carts on demand, and the overall energy was very much nightclub-ish. But you know what my man + I ended up loving about this place? All of those things! We started our dining experience with a wonderful creme sake and ended with the best chocolate lava cake of my life. What we ate in between was fabulous, no doubt, but the memory of this place will be of the energetic staff (who frequently broke into song all at once), the spontaneous Congo line, and an unexpected, sexy fire show on the terrace. B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Sit back and enjoy the experience. And get that dang lava cake! It's a must.

Octopus with great flavor.
Skip S.

Great always! Food and service are wonderful. I had the sushi and others had lots of other meals. Sea Bass, Octopus,Steak. Vegetables were great. Asparagus was great.

Yep that whole thing was fried, rice was warm and shrimp was crispy. That is how it's supposed to be. I had the pork belly with crispy noodles. It was definitely melt in your mouth and had little fat pieces, only the best served here! The seafood ramen was great, just needed more noodles lol. It had mussels, shrimp, scallop, and octopus. I also had duck confit which was a little salty in my opinion. One night for room service, i had the tempura shrimp and veggies, definitely thin batter and excellent spicy mayo ever! I also had the kung pao shrimp with noodles, sauce was kickin and I was enjoying with joy! My favorite dish! For dessert, we had the chocolate ganoche which was a little too sweet. I came here twice and ordered it for room service, and they rolled out a new menu on my second visit. Definitely a different experience each time but i cant keep but coming back bc i love asian food.

In terms of restaurant options at the Hyatt Ziva, I would put Moongate kinda in the middle tier. It was basically one the meals we were fine with and would consider going back while we were at the resort. Ordered: - Sashimi - Salmon, Tuna, Catch of the Day (Sea Bass) - one of the thickest and widest cuts ever. - Special Kiuri Maki - this one was ok. I preferred the other maki we got. - Maguro Spicy Maki - Bibimbap - Lo Mein - this portion was really big in my opinion and they give a lot of protein. - Banana Mille Feuille - a bit dense for me. my least favorite dessert we had at the resort.

From Thai noodles to Indian samosas to Vietnamese Pho, there are so many choices. Loved the salad bar. The wide variety of cheeses, salads and seafood options was a great starter as we waited for our meal. Favorites included the hearts of palm, couscous and marinated artichoke hearts. Our server, Fernando, was so sweet. For apps, we had the Wonton de Atun, samosas stuffed with potatoes and green peas, and the Chicharron de Pesacado. All were delicious. The lamb vindaloo was okay for an entree. At Fernando's suggestion, we split the Helado frito con jarabe de chocolate. Fried ice cream is always a fun way to end an Asian fusion inspired meal.
