I love ramen; it's easily my favorite food! So when my friend told me about Deigo Ramen in Mexico…read moreCity, how could I not go? The place is small and very popular, so come with a bit of patience. The setup is super efficient: when you arrive, you place your order at a machine and wait outside. Once a spot opens up, they invite you in, and your food arrives within minutes. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen and was in pure umami heaven. The noodles had the perfect consistency, and the broth was incredibly flavorful without being overpowering. I also tried the gyozas, which were more like mini fried empanadas...crispy, savory, and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend this spot to any ramen lover. They really know what they're doing here!

Three stars and I feel generous. The venue is great. Countertop seating, very Japan-style chill,…read morebusy on a Wednesday, and the service was so nice. They give you a welcome green tea/matcha which I loved. But the food?? The gyoza was the worst we have had in forever. Edamame was fine but weirdly under-salted. The ramen was bland, like dialed down for an American palate. And the chashu was overdone, again. Second ramen spot in CDMX with that same issue. If I lived in the neighborhood, sure. Going out of my way for it, no. Maybe we are ramen snobs. But this was just okay.

Curry not authentic flavor and spices. Sashimi needs more daikon radish. My family and I went to eat there twice in our week trip to Mexico City because my daughter loves Japanese food. Waiters were not welcoming (Daikoku in Condesa) they gave the impression that they were bothered by us when ordering a lot of food (we were a party of 7 and it was not busy at all) specially when we said we wanted filtered water. In general, I would go here in future trips only because it's Japanese food but I understand the limitations on produce resources in Mexico, locals eat more meat, cheese, tortillas and frijoles but very little vegetables.

We went on a Saturday night. We ordered two different kinds of udon, Nabeyaki and tempura. Both…read moreactually came with tempura. My wife, who is Japanese, thought that the tempura was expertly prepared. Batter was thin and the vegetables were crispy. The broth in the udon and the noodles were very good. We asked and the chef trained in Osaka. The service was also good.

I came here for my birthday because I love to celebrate my birthday with a great omakase. I have…read morebeen to the Santa Fe location before but since this one is the OG one I wanted to try this one. From the outside it looks like a cute spot from Japan which makes you feel like you teleported and the decor on the inside was very cute. The service was so great, everyone was nice and answered all my questions. From the moment I step foot inside they welcomed me in Japanese and Spanish which really gave to the teleporting vibe. The chef who did my omakase was so nice I wish I remembered his name but you can see him in the picture. His style of omakase was amazing and as we got to the end it just kept getting better and better. He had my dad and I saying "wow" over and over again. One of the courses that blew my mind was the fatty salmon nigiri with shaved frozen foie gras which gave it the perfect buttery texture wow. To top it off he gave us a Wagyu nigiri with uni on top which is literally butter on butter and I was so amazed. The other chef said wait till you try the eel with the foie gras and WOW like it just kept getting better and better. I left sooo full I couldn't finish my dessert even though it was delicious and I felt like I was going to explode so we walked around reforma. Some people think omakase will not fill you up but it sure does! Thank you so much to the team of Rokai for making my birthday amazing !

This place was an absolute hit. Some of the best sushi I've had in months…read more They have plenty of outdoor dining, and friendly, prompt service. They have a pretty extensive menu ranging from cold dishes like sushi to hot dishes like Ramen and rice bowls from next door. We started with two appetizers, the Gyoza and the Shishito peppers. The shishito peppers were excellent, and had a flavor I had never quite experienced with them before from whatever sauce they were made in. They were very delicious. The Gyoza was also very tasty, and had a hint of ginger that was a nice addition. For my meal, I ordered a bunch of pieces of nigiri. Every piece came out perfectly fresh and incredibly made, for an absolutely delicious experience. We finished off with the Matcha tiramisu, a dish I wasn't even expecting to be so incredible. I would love to go back for it, although frankly I'd love to go back to this place for everything I ate tonight. We also shared the strawberry mochi, which was so good we ended up ordering a second one. I'm already looking forward to returning here. All of this that I mentioned, plus the rice bowl that my cousin ordered, was only $80. It is pricey, but less pricey than I was expecting.

BEST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD…read more Does that above statement say it all? Surprising to me as well as we just stumbled on this place craving sushi. First you have to walk through a restaurant then go upstairs and enter a door with no labels or anything. Then you're greeted with a 13 or so seater along a bar. From there you have to go omikase and just let the chef take care of you. Most memorable item was the scallop. It was the fattiest, butteriest, sweetest scallop I've ever had. Do not skip this place while in CDMX.
