    Fried ice cream
    Mandie B.

    We had a really good meal here and were lucky enough to get a reservation at the hibachi station so that we could enjoy the show! If you do the hibachi, you are going to get a set menu (sushi rolls, miso soup, rice, veggies, chicken, steak & shrimp along with a dessert)! It's a lot of food, and it was all so good. The chef we had was excellent and made the station fun! I felt so bad though because it was SO HOT inside and I cannot even imagine how hot he must have been with the heat from the grill. But he did great and cooked the food to perfection! I enjoyed the rice and veggies so much! Not to mention toe flavor on the shrimp was amazing! The servers we had were also helpful and made sure to keep our drinks full and they took good care of us throughout the evening. The only reason I am giving a 4 star is because it really was just too hot to truly be able to enjoy the meal; it's so hard for me to eat when I am hot. Thankfully, the ice cream dessert helped to cool me off.

    The Japanese food is very unique but not authentic. I tried their sashimi and the color seemed to be slight off but I didn't get sick. So I guess that was ok. The rolls were not bad but not wow either. It does take a while for them to bring the food over. Service was ok. Just a bit slow. I also tried the spring rolls here. Bad mistake. The skin was too thick. It was big and filling. I had the curry mahi fish and it was over cooked. Better to stick with the sushi and sashimi. Only complain is that they cut the sashimi paper thin and still it was not cut properly.

    This restaurant is located at the Dreams hotel. A reservation is needed for the hibachi grill. When we had made a reservation with the concierge, they didn't ask us how many people (they assumed two), so we forgot to tell them we had 5 people in our party. We ended up eating at the regular restaurant. It was close to closing so they had run out of salmon sashimi. We got the tuna sashimi (nice, large pieces), the pad thai (kinda spicy), the king pao chicken (nothing special) and the fried rice (tasty, but really salty and barely had any shrimp and was a small portion).

    Killer design of a restaurant! Although most of the plants were fake didn't deter me from loving the ambiance. Service was quick and attentive, wasn't super hungry so didn't order a lot. The Asian fusion style was interesting, the rolls were a bit sad. Didn't see anyone doing the hibachi/teppanyaki on the far side of the entrance and was curious how well they did it. Maybe next time For sure would return and try other items when famished. Fun place with a cool vibe about it!

    Himitsu is the Japanese Asian Fusion style restaurant located in the Now Resort, next door to the Secrets Resort. There are two types of seating for this restaurant, walk in or making a reservation for the Benihana type grill table. There are limited seats for the grill table, so make sure to book ahead. The first dinner we had, we ordered a variety of appetizers and sushi rolls to share. We has a tempura shrimp, the spicy tuna, thai beef salad, gyoza and tiradito. On my birthday, we had a reservation for the grill. My guy pre-ordered and paid for a bottle of wine, which the guy next to us assumed was free and started drinking our wine. We tried to explain that it was our bottle, but he ignored us and wasn't worth fighting over. Service was great and the selection of fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor.

    There is good and bad about this resultant. I'm gonna talk about the pros and the cons of this restaurant. Pros: kids are welcomed, nice presentation,quick service, friendly staff, and the shrimp was great. The fried ice cream is what really saved the review and got the 3rd star. Cons: the chefs are inexperienced and our chef even cooked part of an egg shell into the fried rice. The fried rice is both burned while cooked and under cooked while prepped. So be prepared for crunchy rice. The vegetables are pretty bland, the sushi is gross and looks like it was taken from the lunch buffet. I didn't order the beef but I tried a piece and like most restaurants on the property the beef is slightly undercooked.

    Of all the restaurants at this resort (Secrets Vallarta Bay) - this is by far the best one for overall experience. Food presentation is well put together Taste - 3 stars I ordered the Peking Duck Wrap - came back another night just for this - 4.5* Tom Yum soup - just a soup base with a splash of soy sauce, a few chili flakes, shrimp and glass noodles. Not bad but not the authentic real deal obviously - 4.5* Miso Soup - big chunks of shitake mushrooms and seaweed. Same soup base as tom yum minus the chili - 4.5 stars Shrimp dumpling - 0* not worth it, wrappers way too soggy and shrimp was undercooked Shrimp and pork gyoza - 0* not worth it, they were shy on the panfry so therefore the dumplings looked more steamed than fried. Same look as the shrimp dumpling except pork was added. Pad thai - good presentation - super salty but good if you like it. Its more of a chow mein with wide rice noodles than pad thai - 4* California roll and sashimi - good presentation but the sashimi is always warm. Try it but eat it first as it quickly becomes room temperature. Tepanyaki - good presentation and experience. Everything doused in soy sauce. 4* My ratings are based on the Mexican way of cooking Japanese/Asian fusion. It has nothing to do with the actual taste of authenticity. This would be my first choice and would return at least one more time during my stay. Oh and of course, Service - 5*

    This is a must go to when at the Hotel Musai, and often it is our favorite. We do go back and forth…read morewith Dai lol...but we always go at least twice here each time we visit Puerto Vallarta. The service here is just amazing. It is very popular, they are great in getting people in quickly.... The view from most of the tables is magnificent. One year we saw a beautiful lightening storm over the water.... The sushi, food is amazing. First let me share that the rib eye with a delicious Teriyaki sauce is always a hit. We ways like the mixed shrimp tempura and the hamachi sashimi with jalapeño and truffle vinaigrette is our hands down favorite. The citrus roll was good but the lemon for me was a bit over powering, but the boyfriend loved it. Rainbow roll and hamachi and green onion hand roll very yummy The hamachi nigiri was great, great, great, ordered it twice this week. For dessert our go to is the Coconut cake and green tea ice cream is so yummy. Oh the crispy rice and spicy tuna was delicious, and we will definitely get that again. The Hiroshi lychee saki martini is very nice, NOT to be confused with a midori martini which is far too sweet. Though a nice vegan option, I won't get the rice noodles and tofu again. It wasn't the savory thick noodles that I envisioned. In all this is an amazing restaurant and it is not surprising Hiroshi is considered one of the top two restaurants here.

    We're not the ideal diner for sushi as neither of us typically eats it. But we figured that it was…read moreincluded in our stay so we might as well give it a try. I think it's safe to say that I'm still not a raw fish person but I did enjoy the other cooked options here. I started the meal with a hiroshi salad, which had the most amazing ginger dressing, and a rib eye robata skewer while my vegetarian boyfriend started with some veggie dumplings in a plum sauce and a veggie wonton tostada. For our sushi course, I attempted the seared tuna as I expressed to the waiter that I wasn't a raw fish fan and wanted to know what he'd recommend as a gateway. I thought the seared tuna sounded safe being partially cooked and even asked the waiter if they could sear it more than usual. I'm sure he thought I was crazy but I do love cooked tuna. Unfortunately, the tuna was still way to raw for me and I couldn't get over the texture or flavor. I originally planned on ordering the teriyaki as well but it was our last night and we thought we might enjoy a late night meal at Noi instead so I chose not to stuff myself here. Instead, I finished the meal with a delicious cookie martini.

    We loved Archie's Wok! The air conditioned dining room was full but it was evening and really…read morewasn't THAT hot so we were fine sitting in a back porch area they called the garden, which is technically outside but felt more like a charming indoor space but with an open ceiling. I ordered off of the restaurant week menu while my SO opted to order off of the regular one. He started with the calamari, which was quite good. Nice and light breading and not overcooked. We sampled the papaya salad (one of the best I've ever tasted), coconut fried rice with yellow curry, drunken noodles with shrimp and mango sticky rice. This was my first time trying mango sticky rice and I'm glad I did it here because Mexico has such excellent mangos. It was fantastic and is now a new favorite. The curry rice was also delicious but for me, was a lot of food, which is not a bad thing. A great value actually since I got three meals out of it! They also serve margaritas by the pitcher, which is literally illegal in the ridiculous state we are from so we were very excited at this option. The full pitcher was a bit much for 2 but my friends, not to worry! They do a half pitcher!!! Our server was so nice and did a great job. Food came out very quickly as well. We had a great time at Archie's Wok and it has been added to our list of musts when in PV.

    Today is day 14 for us, wanted something different and I wasn't too sure what to expect. Just off…read morethe beach, this is a really chill place. I ordered take out since the wife wanted to stay in. Pork egg rolls, Mongolian curry beef, almond chicken and fried rice. I had a lemonade while I was waiting. Everything was packaged well (lids taped on, sauce servings with lids, wrapped in cling film. The food was tasty. While I was not much more than 5 minutes back to the hotel, the egg rolls were soggy. The sweet and sour sauce for them was very good, great flavor and not overly thick. I asked for the curry to be hot, but not too hot, it was pretty mild. Definitely worth giving it a shot when you're looking to switch things up. Like most of PV, it was good and it was spendy (about 1,400 MXD for 2 mains, combination fried rice and 3 pork egg rolls + 1 lemonade).
