Ukami is always a must for us when in tulum! There food looks just as good as it tastes! The quality of sushi is top tier and so much flavor. Everything is just so thought out. We always get the shrimp tacos and change up the rolls. Never had anything bad. Highly recommend!!!

Tasting menu of all the sushi

Freaking fantastic sushi and the rock shrimp tacos and octopus tacos were the stuff of dreams. Tasting menu is worth it as they upsold us and included 2 rounds of cocktails. Outside of the menu that cocktails were stupid expensive. 20 bucks for a martini in Mexico ain't cute. However great vibes, great service was about $400 dollars for 2 people.

teppanyakis with octopus

highly recommend this place if you have chance to visit. Staff is very nice and friendly. Food tastes delicious. We walked here every night for dinner during staying, it's just across street from where we stayed, Coco unlimited. I had teppanyakis and requested add tomatoes because I can't eat other veggies, the Chef made my dish look pretty.

I LOVED THIS PLACE SO MUCH, we ate here twice!!! Very welcoming staff and owner! Highly recommend eating - Yuca Gyoza // Ta Chi Lozo // Arigato - and really anything else. We didn't have one thing we didn't like! Also LOVED the hand rolls!!! :) **Please open a location in the states!!!**

Amazing place! We visited with our two young children and the staff were incredible! Delicious sushi!! We enjoyed the Mexican sake (being from California we know a good sake when we have one) and the dishes were amazing! From the oysters to the rolls. Highly recommend! Worth the money!

Hands down one of the best meals I have had in Tulum meets some of the best sushi I have had - Nobu, please step aside. The place is run by Spencer who really takes care of you - since it's his place! I would highly recommend omakase experience where he will keep feeding you not only sushi with amazing Mayan flavors on what i call a 'sushi catwalk' (see photo), but also a plethora of appetizers with flavors and accents one can not describe in a post. Let's just say this - we had dinner at Hartwood the night before and I say Ukami gives it a run for its ranking easily. Well done, Spencer and Ukami team - please keep the Jungle alive!

Ukami Is a refreshing Japanese-Mexican fusion restaurant. After eating at all the famed joints in Tulum for two weeks, we decidedly rate Ukami our top choice in terms of food quality, ingenuity and price. The mayapanese miso is exceptional and deserves a Michelin star by itself. The staff cares about your food like you don't normally see in other restaurants. Try the tuna tostada, the omakase, and absolutely don't miss the mayapanese miso plus. Kudos to Spenser the owner, Kai and Barbie!!!

I was in Tulum on vacation and decided to come here on my last night. It was AMAZING! The ambience was really nice and the food was delicious. I ordered the passion fruit margarita and it came in a shark cup (so cute)! I recommend the Arigato roll which has to be the best thing I've ever eaten! The Spicy Edamame and Famous Rock Shrimp Taco were 10/10. I wish I remember everything we ate but everything we ordered was great! I wish my stomach was bigger so I could have ordered more. I will be coming back to Tulum just so I can eat here. Also, if this places decides to expand please choose LA!

Made a reservation for 4 pm and showed up only to find that they don't open until 5 which was too late for us. Disappointed because the food looks good.

Chicken stir fry style plate. Not sure the exact name.

This place is super cute. It was directly across the street from our hotel at Coco limited so we decided to try it. Can I just say we were not disappointed. I for one, do not like sushi, seafood period, onions, or garlic (I know what your thinking "why did I go there?") for 1 my travel companions forced me! They all love sushi! They ordered different types and loved it all. We also ordered edamame, miso soup, and I ordered a chicken stir fry type plate. Sorry can't remember the actual name. With a special request of no onion or garlic and even my companions loved it. It was my sisters birthday so they brought the entire party a round of tequila shot to celebrate. The owner was there and was very attentive. He made you feel as if you were childhood friends.

1-Star Review for BAK Tulum…read more We were very disappointed with our experience at BAK Tulum, especially since it was meant to be a special anniversary dinner. I clearly mentioned to the staff that I am pregnant and asked for my steak to be well done. When our steaks arrived, mine was rare inside. I immediately brought it to their attention, and they took it back. My husband waited to eat with me, and after about 10 minutes, they returned my steak -- yes, it was cooked through, but they had simply thrown it back on the grill, leaving the entire crust black and burned. A proper well-done steak should be baked or finished carefully, not charred. I had to cut around the burnt parts and could only eat the inside, leaving my plate full of burnt steak pieces. We also ordered banana cream and churro waffles for dessert -- both were disappointing, we barely had two bites each. They brought us two complimentary champagnes, which was thoughtful -- but again, I had already told them I was pregnant. They didn't bother to offer me a non-alcoholic alternative, so I couldn't enjoy anything. When the bill arrived, the manager had said the desserts would be complimentary, but they were still charged on the bill, along with the champagne we never ordered. After pointing this out, the waiter said he made the changes but questioned who told me that, claiming I "heard wrong." Only after insisting did he remove the desserts from the check. We paid $700 USD for a $626.16 bill, expecting the change in pesos as agreed. Based on the daily exchange rate (18.46), the change should have been 1,363.50 pesos, but we were given 1,240 pesos, short 123.5 pesos. When questioned, the waiter said, "our restaurant's rate is 17," which still didn't add up and left us short again. Throughout the entire experience, no one apologized -- not for the burnt steak, not for the billing confusion, and not for the dishonest handling of the exchange rate. In person, I gave them the chance to make things right, but they chose not to. That's why I'm writing this review -- not to complain, but to warn others. The music and fireworks were great, but the food, service, and honesty were deeply disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience ruined our anniversary night.

The best dining experience I've EVER had! From the…read moreappetizers, drinks to our main course and desserts. Outrageously delicious. We squeezed in a mescal tasting to enhance the fun. Each step through the experience was another level of pleasure to the senses.

If you're looking for a party vibe while having dinner, this is the spot. From passing out…read moresparklers to everyone to the fire dancers it was all very entertaining. Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill.

This was a full-on experience night and easily one of the highlights of the trip. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the place had energy, music, lights, and a crowd clearly there to celebrate something. It never felt stiff or overly formal, just lively and fun the entire evening. The food was excellent across the board, but the standout was the tomahawk steak presentation. When it arrived, sparklers, drums, and all eyes on the table, it honestly felt like some kind of ceremonial animal sacrifice in the most entertaining way possible. Over the top? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately great food to back it up. We laughed, ate way too much, and left buzzing from the whole experience. A true 5-star night in Tulum.
