We in desperate need of a non-resort meal and found ourselves at Daikoku. The menu is pretty extensive with plenty of apps, sushi rolls, sashimi, rice and noodle entrees. While there was plenty to choose from, we ordered very conservatively - rolls, fried rice, tempura. My favorite thing I ate was probably the yakimeshi ebi ($8 USD). It's just a simple fried rice with shrimp, scallion, and egg. This was a very good scallion fried rice that satiated my cravings. All the rolls we ordered were good though not very discernible in terms of taste. I think the indoor space is much nicer than the outdoor space, so do that if you can. Daikoku is perfect if you're looking for an Asian option in Cabo. read more

This was my daily dining spot last March so I came back in December. We sat in our usual spot but we had a waiter who gave me weird vibes. He was forcefully friendly and when it came time to tip, he was very aggressive. It was off putting and I felt so uneasy. I was very happy to see Yazmin was there when we were leaving. Good to see her!! Next time we return to Cabo, I hope we don't have this experience again. It's always a good night when we have Yazmin taking care of us. read more

I will go back to this place every time I visit Cabo. The food, service, and ambience was excellent. If I had to chose between Daikoku and Chubby Noodle, it would be Daikoku. read more

Went yrs ago. They have fantastic food and beautiful decor and setting. Servers were very attentive but don't hover. A totally enjoyable experience. We hope to go again! read more

The sushi was average, but lacked any wasabi or ginger until requested. The fish yakisoba was awful, no flavor whatsoever and the white fish was overcooked. Server was annoying. Decor was very nice but lonely. Hardly any customers. Granted we're spoiled living in Seattle but there's no excuse for this over-priced, less-than mediocre restaurant. read more

Daikoku is one of our favorite restaurants in Cabo san Lucas. The Japanese food is so good my wife says it is better than where we live. The food portions are very generous and tastie. The location has an outdoor as well as a raised glass floor dining area with Japanese decorations underneath it. It is a low-key, quiet location where you can enjoy a nice lunch or dinner. The servers are polite, professional, and very courteous. We go back every time we are in town. read more

Food was really good but the waiter was irritating with all his comments instead of just taking our orders and leaving. He kept saying no every time we asked him for something and then would stand there smiling and would only stop once we smiled back. He knew we were getting sick of how he was hanging around way too long when getting our orders in because of his comments and responses he made (that none of us asked for). When I ordered chicken breast teriyaki, he responded with "I love breasts." And when my friends were looking for the bathroom, he told them there wasn't one and that they'd have to go outside next to a tree. More importantly, our waiter was an a**hole to my friend!! He made a very mean fat comment to my friend and it was 100% not okay and definitely not a joke. When management was alerted about the waiter's behavior, they stated that they were already aware because it has happened previous TIMES. They then tried to compensate through a free drink which is ridiculous! It definitely ruined the ambiance of the place for us. read more

Daikoku - Veggie sushi - Japanese Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCS

This place serves up fresh seafood, caught daily. The selection of delicious dishes are a plenty. The staff are courteous and efficient. We had a veteran waiter who is a friend of our host. One of few that speak English but luckily our questions and order was translated by our host. We ordered 2 noodle bowls which will feed 3 or 4. We were staying at a resort so we saved some for breakfast the next day, just as delicious as the day before Gyoza is offered in two ways, we preferred it fried. The shrimp tempura roll and vegetable tempura plate were both very delicious and not greasy. The tuna roll was outstanding! Sake bombs were enjoyed all around. I hope they put Kirin on the menu soon. I usually get dessert but had to skip it this visit, we were sooo full. Highly recommend Daikoku! Thank you everyone, we'll see you again in October read more

The location is beautiful and it has a great ambiance. There are vegetarian options as well. We go here every time we are in Cabo.

Opt for the veggie tempura instead. Hubby liked all his salmon items as well. read more

This is probably the finest Japanese restaurant in Cabo. It is beautiful. I had a very hard time understanding the menu and ordered entirely too much food. So much so, that it became comical as the parade of entrees came marching out of the kitchen. The cold sake was quite delicious. Our sushi was spectacular. The sashimi was quite special indeed, a real stand out. Service was prompt and efficient. Also, our ramen soup was equally special. I wish I knew two dozen people to share the leftovers with!!! The decor was really very special indeed with rivers running through the restaurant in many places. I highly recommend this sushi place if you need good sushi in Cabo, just don't order too much!! Good prices as well. read more

They have several locations- including one in CDMX. Beautiful ambiance- white sand rock garden underneath clear glass floors and an open air patio with flowing water and a mini bridge. Gorgeous! Service- good, attentive waiters who also spoke English Seafood ramen- so yummy, butter garlic broth with big portions of salmon and imitation crab. The seafood (kaisen) salad was also tasty, very light and tons of seafood like salmon, shrimp, imitation crab, and octopus. Came with two different types of dressing (tomato and vinaigrette). Rolls- I tried the soft shell crab roll and California roll and both were decent read more

Sooo Daikoku hit my sushi craving spot while in Cabo. We love some good sushi and I found this spot and decided to try it out. The restaurant has an open water and plant décor concept which was a first for us. I really enjoyed the outdoor feel of the restaurant. Once again, the staff were all friendly and very helpful. The food was so good and filling. I am glad we made this our last spot to try before leaving Cabo. What was ordered: Miso Soup / Gyoza / Hotate Rollo / Maguro Landin Miso = Always warms the soul Gyoza = Yummy Hotate Rollo = Flavors & tasty Maguro Landin = Loving the toppings read more

This spot was recommended by friends. Big open patio and nice large inside which I believe is their undoing. Our friends said make sure you say hi to Santiago... he will make it all right. So, we flag down Santiago and he's very pleased to help.... then.... nothing. We order sake and a beer... nothing. Servers must get lost in this big place. Finally we get some dumplings and they taste great. We are starved, so far and hour and we've had 2 dumplings each and a beer. We order more and at some point it arrives, but we are both kinda done. Wine was blah and food was good but hangry took over. Never saw Santiago again and no one ever brought out leftover food. Oh well.... we did try and I left a nice tip because you should down here. In my opinion, too big of a space for this staff to cover efficiently. read more

Best service in the game ! The food was fantastic ! They have cool see through floors ! The dude taking our order was very funny. :)

it's so ironic bc the first dinner we had in cabo san lucas was a japanese restaurant that one of my friends wanted to check out i will say right off the bat that the inside of this restaurant was ABSOLUTELY stunning with stone walkways, small streams of water, large bundles of bamboo, and koi pondssprinkled throughout the outdoor seating area! it felt as though i stepped into a beautiful japanese garden that just so happened to be a restaurant as well. it did get a bit chilly outside towards nighttime so i recommend bringing a jacket to stay warm. aside from the beautiful atmosphere, the menu and a wide range of yummy dishes from sushito warm bowls of noodles. the prices were affordable and the fish was very good quality! the service was a little slow due to the large area they had to cover, but they were very nice and willing to help out when they could. -- -- -- pictured: " sashimi moriawase komasa (assorted sashimi) ($397.00 pesos/~$29.17 usd) // first off, the presentation of all the fish was beautiful and i really enjoyed the variety it came with‍the salmon was to die for - so buttery and tender - but the other sashimi were just aight. all very fresh quality though! -- -- -- if you're looking to get a japanese fix in cabo, definitely check it out! read more

Hands down the best sushi in Cabo. So good we came back twice! You may think tiki bar is the better choice but these rolls are so tasty and huge servings. Each special roll is about ten pieces and around $10 a roll max. My favorite was the unagui especial. The appetizers were also amazing especially the chicken yakitori and fried cheese appetizers. The sauces that accompany this are great as well, but it's worth noting you'll need to ask for wasabi and ginger as they don't come with. The atmosphere here greatly accompanies the food. As you walk in you have to sanitize your shoes, hands, walk through a sanitizing spray and get your temperature taken. Staff was great with masks as well. The restaurant has an open outdoors section with waterfall tables and a water mill. You can further go inside and walk through a glass sand field. Staff was also fantastic. They definitely have a bit more of a sarcastic flare so don't take it personally! All in all, I spent about $30 for two rolls and two appetizers with drinks and would 100% come back again read more

Great food; vast and authentic selection with well developed recipes. Best takoyaki I've had outside of Japan. Decoration and ambiance was stellar; from wooden fountains stretching the main entrance to zen gardens under a glass floor the enclosed patio makes for amazing seating Service was fast although our visit was not during peak hours; tempura arrived noticeably later than it was prepared (cooler temperature and less than crispy exterior) Wait staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

Never thought I'd go to Mexico and have the best sushi of my life. I know crazy right ? When you first step in it's like you're transported into a whole different place. The bridge, the beautiful water flowing tables, the koi pond , the glass floors, the architecture of this place is amazing. A must do if you're into a different dining experience. We looked at the menu confused since we were a bit hesitant with the different ingredients in the rolls . We went ahead and ordered from "Chef's recommendation " menu. Salmon Landin $9.01 USD: Avocado, cucumber , boiled shrimp , with fresh salmon topped with white onions, Serrano chili , served with a special sweet soy sauce. This one is amazing. This is also for spicy lovers out there who like it hot. They put fresh Serrano chili's on top and you get the flavors of sweet , spicy and zesty from the lime. I also love the white onions on top . 5/5 Maguro landin $9.97 USD: Avocado , cucumber, and tempura shrimp in the inside and fresh tuna on the outside. Inside is crab meat with a chipotle sauce.This was so delicious. I never would've thought chipotle would be good on sushi but this was unique and the flavors worked so well. 5/5 Maguro tataki $9.45:Tuna seared with sesame sauce , vinegar and orange juice. Simple, light and delicious . Added some soy sauce and wasabi and it was perfect. 5/5 Philadelphia special $7.80 USD : Seared salmon , cheese , cucumber & avocado with masago. This roll was yummy and vary creamy . We like spicy so we asked for Serrano peppers on the side. 4/5 Fish wrapped in Fish roll : DISCLAIMER ( don't know the real name of this roll since it's not on the menu) if you show them a pic they can make it . They use various fish to make the roll and the rice is omitted. Fish is wrapped around and it's topped with crispy wonton and mango . Great if you want something light . 5/5 Overall the quality, service , and price is outstanding . Definitely worth it. The workers here are super friendly and I'm glad we tried out Daikoku. Please consider opening up a restaurant in the Bay Area ! Until next time read more

This spot is such a gem - truly. We started with a small bottle of sake and Sapporo. They had a decent selection of sake to start out with. Next, we had the vegetable tempura (which was huge) and probably one of the best miso soups I've ever had. That might have been enough for our meal but everything on the menu looked so good we had to splurge. The vegetable fried rice was well worth it. We also tried the maguro spicy roll, the Cabo tuna roll, and Maguro landing roll. All of them were so great-- but the best by far was the Maguro spicy. Warning -- they've got a kick. If you need a change from your boring resort food or don't feel like another quesadilla night, make sure you hit up Daikoku. The service was also excellent, very attentive. They even gave me bug spray when I got bit and turned the TV onto the NBA playoffs for us. read more

Yes, I need my Asian food fix...even in Mexico, so we decided to stop by Daikoku, and I was BLOWN AWAY. I even told my sister in the middle of the meal that this might be one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to. Totally unexpected! The entire restaurant is so pretty. The outside area is super cute and there's a little koi fish pond. When you walk in through the front, you feel like you've teleported to Japan. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, and they're definitely following COVID-19 protocols. For appetizers, we got the Gyoza and this one other dish that was recommended by our waiter. It was a shrimp dish with a spicy mayo base sauce. Both were incredibly delicious and fresh. My sister got the Nabeyaki Udon, and I got the Tenzaru Soba, since I wanted something cold. Both were presented beautifully and came with a giant array of tempura options. You could tell that everything was prepared with care. Our total came out to like $40 which is like unheard of. I couldn't believe the quality of the food for the price, and a part of me wished we had ordered more hahaha. Our server was so nice and really elevated the whole experience for us. Can't complain about anything, and definitely will be back if I'm ever in Cabo again. read more

Not sure why this restaurant got high rating, maybe from the sushi and sashimi part which I didn't try. Ramen: like other comments, I made better ramen than this restaurant even though my ramen didn't even meet my standard. Baby Crab: yes, it's pretty yummy if you them with cock sauce mixed with their 'soy sauce'. I think it's an insult to Asian cultures putting lime/lemon on soy sauce. Horrible. PS: I am half Japanese who was born and raised in Tokyo, married to my American husband. Please tell me which part of Japan that I can find soy sauce with lime? We are heading back home in December, would like to explore this part of Japan that I am not aware of. Perhaps there are new culture that I can explore and broaden my horizon. read more

We made reservations on OpenTable for a party of 3 on Christmas Eve. The restaurant is a little tucked away on the main drag- the location is about a block off for the address. A local pointed us in the right direction. There are several staff members standing out on the street in Japanese attire. Once we were whisked in it was beautiful and calm. Pretty deserted- but we dined early. We had already checked out the menu online so ordering was easy. We got veggie fried rice for our daughter, ribeye for myself and mixed seafood for my husband. The menu was huge with lots of options- many sushi rolls. Not all tables were set up to cook table side- which is what we were expecting since it keeps our daughter entertained. It felt like a lot of up-selling tableside which is fine but not relaxing at a higher end place. Including our entrees and ice cream, 2 margaritas, a large beer and bottled water we paid about $75 before tip which is in line for what we would pay for a similar meal in the states. The instant camera souvenir was a nice touch. I would return on another trip to Cabo. read more

We ate at Daikoku as we wanted sushi and not go back to Nicksan, which is close by. The front of the restaurant is very deceiving as it is so small. We walked by it several times in the past not knowing what was inside. Once you enter, the restaurant opens up and even has a second floor made of glass so you can view the sand art below. It has a water wheel, koi ponds, and even some tables where running water flows below the glass table top. Very neat! The meal was a very tasty and a fantastic experience. We had a variety of Japanese food and we loved them all. The only issue was the slow service, but we found that the same at any restaurant in Cabo. It seems like they are on slow and relaxed time in Cabo. Just have to adjust to it. read more

I love this place. You have to walk in to see it. You will not believe how beautiful it is. I love the see through fours!

While in Cabo for my bday, we were craving sushi. We'd read some great reviews and saw how beautiful it was and couldn't resist. Walking in you're transported to a Japanese village. There's a gorgeous bridge, a koi pond, a water wheel with a waterfall and inside a glass floor covers a Japanese sand garden. It's beautiful. Service is great and I ordered the sashimi platter. The octopus was my favorite because it was so tender. They had the usual suspects as well- tuna, salmon, etc.... all of it was great. My only wish was if they had fresh wasabi but it was certainly yummy and a great environment. read more

I've eaten here 20-30 times. But NEVER AGAIN. When I walked in I asked if I could use my 10% off I got last time. It was a few days expired. Server says yes. Bill comes and no 10 %. I asked again and told no. You have lost a customer for life read more
