They were open in a different location before, closed for a while, and opened again at 15th and 8, across from the Palacio Municipal. The restaurant is nice, comfortable and covered in pin up girl art. Service was friendly and our server spoke English well. The menu is mostly different Asian dishes-Thai, Vietnamese, Indian-with a couple of European options thrown in. My group all ordered appetizers to share and Asian entrees (Thai curry, curry noodles, Pad Thai), and everyone was happy. My favorite appetizer was the dumplings, but the samosas and satay were also good. My entree was red curry noodles with chicken. The regular size was a lot of food, with very tasty sauce and well cooked chicken and veggies. The grilled pineapple was a nice addition. The spice level was hot enough for me, but the addition of their house habanero sauce kicked it up nicely. The premium margaritas were also good. I would definitely go again and will enjoy the leftovers.

After several of the restaurants were packed on a busy Friday night, we found Babes! As soon as we…read morewere seated, then others packed the place. The menu is focused on their specialty, HOMEMADE noodles! So delicious. We ordered 4 different dishes, all were scrumptious. The friendly server made great recommendations. The pad thai was a bit more savory but tasty, it was my favorite.  The garlic peanut noodles had a thick sauce and was good. The other favorite was the green curry noodles, light and flavorful! The best place to enjoy a yummy meal. We ate outdoors with a view of the Christmas decorations in the city Square and inside there was a vibrant d.j. with muted dance music, excellent vibes! Excellent service, food and ambiance.

One thing I would note is that the nigiri pieces are way too big and sit on far too much rice. The flavor is good, but the size makes them difficult to eat without having to break them apart first, which takes away from the experience a bit. The service could also improve. At one point, our server was seen adjusting his pants with his hands and then handling our plates afterward, which wasn't very hygienic or professional. Other than those things, everything else was very good and we did enjoy the food. I would still go here again and hope to see a few small improvements.

Very popular with cruise workers exploring as a free day, Chi (assuming short for 'Chinese')…read morerestaurant is very close to the downtown port in Cozumel, Mexico. In my experience, whenever a restaurant tries to promote dishes across multiple Asian cuisines, the results are not good. However, in this case, both my brother and I were impressed with the restaurant: in the dining space, service, and especially the food. Chi is located less than four blocks from Punta Langosta cruise port, on the second floor of a busy retail building. On one hand, the second floor is not ideal to attract prospective passerbys, with a ground level entrance hidden away around the corner of the main street. Plus I didn't see an elevator, so accessibility is an issue. On the other hand, being on the second floor allows a less frenetic dining experience away from the bustle of the street, as well as great al fresco dining on the open air balcony dining area with a great view of the city. We wanted A/C so chose a table inside, next to big windows. The menu is huge, with the largest devoted to classic American-Chinese dishes. There is also a page for Filipino dishes and one for Indonesian...definitely catering to folks from the nearby cruise boats. They do offer fresh fish as well, chosen as you enter, and they will cook it for you for minimal charge. I wanted to try their Chinese stir-fried conch dish ($21.79), and it came out first. It came with a thin white sauce, which isn't usually my favorite, but it was perfect in this case, with the fresh ginger and scallions adding a light flavor to the dish. The Nasi Goreng House Shrimp Fried Rice ($14.19 from the Indonesian Menu) came out a bit later, and was really well made. We had asked for it at 'No spice' level, and this resulted in it tasting just like a shrimp fried rice from a good Chinese restaurant. These two dishes really highlighted the wok-skills of the chef, and would be something I would get again. Next was the Adobong Pusit ($17.04 from the Filipino menu): baby squid in the typical adobo sauce that I enjoy. Appreciated the fact that the baby squid had been cleaned before cooking, and the removed tenacles were part of the dish. The sauce was really strong (no subtlety here). The final one was one recommended by the waitress, classic shrimp pancit ($14.19 from the Filipino menu), using thin rice noodles. This wasn't very good: decent pieces of jumbo shrimp, but the fish sauce overpowered everything else...OK for a meat dish, but not so much for a noodle dish that tends to absorb everything. The dishes did come out as they were prepared, which meant they were served hot, but came out pretty staggered. None of the dishes include white rice. The restaurant had no issues if you bring your own bottled water. There is a $1.50 service charge for each diner, and I believe additional tip is expected. They do a good job of making sure the USD to Mexican pesos conversion is fair, and give the choice of local currency or USD. They do provide free WiFi for their customers, and it was fast and reliable, definitely better than the spotty cell service we were getting inside. Ended up spending a bit more time here than anticipated, which good food and a pleasant dining experience tends to do.

The sushi itself was average & overpriced - but it was still tasty & visually appealing & a good choice for a meal on a super hot day. The server was very enthusiastic & very involved in our meal. The interior was super cute & the AC was blasting which was a nice relief. We tried the specialty cocktail which we think had close to 0 alcohol in it. We also tried a peach sake which was delicious but once I realized it tasted like peach Burnett's ... It was over. Cozumel Dreaming is located in a nice central location which makes it a handy option for a quick meal. I would probably choose other restaurant options before this one, but if you have a hankering for sushi specifically, then this is definitely the place to go. I wish them the best in their new location!

We did 2 person AYCE and it was by far the worst sushi I've ever eaten in my life. The fish was…read moremediocre at best everything that should have been hot was cold and everything that should have been cold was hot. The biggest thing that they could improve immediately would be the rice. The rice is almost inedible. How is it crunchy and lumpy at the same time? The texture made me gag multiple times. I believe good sushi doesn't need soy sauce. Well this sushi needed Diet Coke with every bite. The service was nice and enthusiastic about the menu. I couldn't tell her the truth about the food so when we got to the last roll and literally couldn't stomach more I said wed eaten too much and I'd just pay the uneaten roll charge. Some introspection in the kitchen could go a long way for this place mostly starting with the rice but literally none of the food was very good and all of it was overcooked. The mussels were chewy and gross. If you insist on trying this place do a single nigiri a la carte before you commit to the ayce. You'll thank me for saving your stomach and your wallet. To be clear, none of the food made me sick after eating it but it was physically difficult to eat while I was there.

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.
