    Manjar Blanco Flan

    Maybe we're not fair judges - having eaten mostly of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine in our lifetimes - but Mutuo was wonderful surprise that went beyond expectations! At first we were concerned with a restaurant located inside of a Sheraton, but the ambience of Mutuo's little area inside the lobby is chic, super hip, and very private. The food is Puerto Rican/Japanese/Peruvian fusion (any two of which is wonderful, but all three?!?!?) and every bite was fantastic. We started with the entirely vegan pisco sour made with aquafaba instead of egg white. More subtle and fragrant than your typical Pisco sour, with hints of ginger, gentler than normal with a delayed but powerful punch. We then started with the pork dumplings - a total winner, combining flavors of soy sauce, smoke, and minced onion with big bites Puerto Rican pulled pork. Sweet, smokey, and salty all at once. We followed with flank steak "anticucho." a Peruvian staple that's usually made with beef heart, but instead made here with strips of tender flank steak paired with classic Peruvian flavors of aji and crema. Delicious, soft but well charred, beautiful presentation. We took a break with a salad laced with aguacante and seaweed, paired with a soy-based vinaigrette. Then finished with a big plate of ceviche - perfect fillets of whitefish, rings of calamari, coins of mussels, oversize shrimp, all with the classic accompaniments of red onion, sweet potato, and cancha (Peruvian, crunchy corn). On this one, the Japanese-altered leche de tigre was too sweet for our taste - we missed the acid and salt of punch traditional ceviche. Luckily the server had a bowl of aji rocotto standard ding by for a kick. But as a plate of raw fish, it was impressive and plentiful. We finished with a manjar blanco flan - a showstopper. Smooth, ultra sweet, with caramel syrup and bites of Italian meringue. Among the best we've had, especially if you're a sugar addict. Server Hira was warm, knowledgeable, and super smart about food - absolutely steered us in the right direction and gave us a wonderful attentive service. Congratulations to the entire staff of Mutua for putting on such a great culinary show.

    I have to give a 5 stars to Mutuo. Native puertorrican here that comes often for work and uses the Sheraton often. Mutuo was a great place enjoy a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc, a delicious and hearty appetizer (pumpkin/ ginger soup) followed by a deliciously fresh sushi. But what honestly blew me away more than the food was the service. In an industry that is slowly losing the importance of Customer Service and Hospitality, I was provided an enjoyable experience by both my server and the hostess. Highly recommend!

    I came to Puerto Rico wanting to stick to authentic local food, but I was convinced to try this…read morespot and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good. Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option.

    The Chinese foods here are good. The Lo Mein was very delicious. Plenty of seating was available…read moreand we walked in. It was a clean place with decent ambience.' The sushi rolls left a lot to be desired for - the one with the beef in it wasn't quite good. We only ate a piece of it. The crab Rangoons were decent - nothing to write home about. The service could have been better - even with such few people in the restaurant we were waiting many times for service, water, cheque etc.

    I was recently inspired by an IG story by the supermodel, Paulina Porizkova where she spoke about…read morehow governments turn people against each other to control the population. Citing how she was born into communism, then lived in socialist countries and now has made a home in a capitalist society, she spoke with authority about what is happening in the world right now. She eloquently reminisced about her experience in a communist country, where the enemies were the capitalists who, "kept us from achieving our full potential," in the former republic of Czechoslovakia. The overarching message is that there is more power in unity than being in a fragmented society where its people scramble for truth, justice and freedom. A concept like Godai can only exist in a free society. Everywhere I went on this recent trip to Puerto Rico, I heard people talk about this restaurant: on business meetings, at drinks at a hotel bar and from local friends. Apparently, it's a bit of a social media darling among locals. And, there's good reason. What started as a speakeasy omakase establishment by chef couple Cesar and Daysi is now a full-service restaurant with 3 different spaces: izakaya, omakase tasting room and zen garden. Only in an environment where people have the liberty to pursue their passions, learn techniques from different cultures and there's a free exchange of ideas, can a restaurant in one island nation be inspired by the culinary traditions of another island nation. My dining companions and I were so inspired by the well orchestrated and attentive service, I asked Chef Cesar whether he had made everyone read Will Guidara's "Unreasonable Hospitality." He demurred with humility and said, "we're still trying, and thank you." The food was phenomenal. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've had black truffle shaved over my tuna crispy rice, and it was tasty. We also had the bluefin and salmon crudo, duck fried rice, spicy edamame, shishito peppers, robata miso black cod, Alsatian white wine, unfiltered sake and panna cotta with raspberry. I noted how authentic everything looked and tasted, but there was a local twist and cariño expressed in every dish. This was not fusion, but Japanese food seen through a local lens. It's not so much that they're trying to recreate an experience in Japan, but paying homage with respect to Japanese gastronomy. You might think that Japan and Puerto Rican cultures are polar opposites, but food brings people of all types together. Godai is a great testament of this, and Paulina would certainly enjoy this spot for so many reasons.

    Exceptional service. Staff excelled with attention to detail, being professional yet personal. Food…read morewas top notch, Worth every penny!
