The "Hamachi" (yellow tail) was a bite that melted in your mouth, I ended up getting a couple rounds of these 2-piece bites. the rolls were great all around, you really cannot go wrong with any choice here. Service was great (even though we went close to closing time), place is clean , lots of parking options but its an easy walk from anywhere in the hotel zone.

Came in on a Thursday, it was pretty quiet. Ordered the softshell crab roll and the gyutan (beef…read moretongue). The beef tongue was overcooked and really chewy. Soft shell crab roll was really oily, and the roll fell apart too easily. It crumbled with a small pinch of my chopsticks. The rice felt like it was missing something, it was not seasoned with sushi rice seasoning or vinegar. Wish the dishes came with wasabi or ginger. Staff was friendly and patient which is an added star.

The person who took our order was kind and patient. I may make a bold statement that this is the best asian restaurant we have had on our trip to cancun. It is cheap (compared to the other local asian spots), the portions are awesome, and the food is delicious. The food does take awhile to come out, so be prepared to wait a bit. Salmon onigiri - huge piece. its a simple dish and so we didnt expect much, but they didnt disappoint. Well balanced, salmon not too salty and rice is good. Tsukemen - noodles were cooked just right. Broth on its own was very flavorful. Portions are smaller than i am used to, but it made sense for the price. Egg was jammy and marinated with flavor. It was interesting to see sprouts in it but i'll take it. Paitan Ramen - noodles were perfectly cooked. Good umami, not too salty. Balaned. Generous with the meat. ended up putting the onigiri in here and it elevated the dish for our liking.

My Mr loved everything he ordered. He cleaned his plate, that how he liked it. When we come back to Cancun, we will make it a point to come back here again! It's that good.

She brought out a complimentary soup with rice, not sure if it was some sort of miso soup but it was delicious. My husband is not a huge sushi person so he ordered the Vegetable Bao and he absolutely loved it. I ordered a sushi roll that was also very tasty. Sadly, I do not remember the name and cannot find it in their menu to give it a name. Overall everything tasted very fresh and flavorful, and the prices were decent. If you're craving sushi while in Tulum, give this place a shot I promise you wont be disappointed!

We ordered Gyoza, shoyu ramen with chicken (comes with thick noodles), tonkotsu ramen (comes with thin noodles), and a rice bowl (pork only). The tonkotsu ramen, rice bowl, and gyoza were the best items. The shoyu ramen was just ok in my opinion. Note that the rice bowl is pretty small. It is more like a side item to accompany your ramen or for someone who isn't very hungry. Another plus- this place is small, but has AC! This seems so rare from the restaurants we ate at in Playa.
