    Dynamite Scallops

    This would be the 6th time my wife and I have come for lunch/early dinner here. We were both in the restaurant industry for many years, myself as a chef and my wife as a server. We have found that consistency is everything in the industry, not only in the food but service as well, both so important. We love the gyoza, sushi rolls and entrees. The food impeccable, the service will always 'swarm' around your table and make you feel like a VIP. Go and enjoy Nicksan Cabo, the Pamilla location not so much, it was cold and overpriced compared to the Cabo local. Hopefully, they can open a location in SJD north being that we live in the East Cape area.

    Best sushi in Cabo! Been coming here for 20+ years. The service is absolutely incredible. Christmas Day was busy and the staff was hustling. Never had to wait any longer than normal for the food. Great ambience and fun time sitting at the sushi bar.

    Service was not great. We were just seated and no one came over to talk about the menu or give us water for a while. It was kind of rude. We sat by the sushi bar next to the window. Our food was ok. The rolls were good but the scallop I ordered turned out to be spicy. It was much larger than I expected for one person to eat. Overall it was pricier and service did not meet expectstions. One visit was enough for us.

    This Don roll was unbelievable! So tender, flavorful and loved the spicy tasty sauce!

    Our 4th visit in 4 years, and honestly, it wasn't as good as prior visits. The first roll they brought us off the menu (Don something) was excellent, but other roll and 2 orders of sashimi weren't as good as usual. Service also wasn't amazing as it was the first 2 years. And prices were at least 50% higher than before, and higher than the prices listed online (there were no paper menus, just QR code). It was $300 US before tip for 2 rolls, 2 sashimi orders, 4 miso soups (really good), and tempura shrimp and veggie (always thin, crispy batter - great), one large beer and 2 hot sakes. Enjoyed it, but not as much as in prior years. Might look for a new sushi spot downtown next year.

    Best sushi I have ever had in my life. Amazing service, very nice restaurant, and the most delicious food. I went here twice while in Cabo because it was that good. I will definitely visit everytime I'm in Cabo.

    TLDR: Only come if you're desperate for sushi. I don't recommend. Only get ahi tacos as snacks. Not really worth it tbh. Environment: Fancy looking, mostly Japanese style. There are a lot of seats. Dimly lit and intimate. Good date environment ig. It was quiet when we came. Service: the service was 4.5/5. They were so attentive and friendly! Though despite the many servers and few filled tables, it took a little longer than it should have to flag someone down. Food: it was meh. Honestly only the ahi tacos are worth mentioning. They were pretty good. I normally get chirashi bowls since I like to have an array of fish. Some reviews were racing about freshness of fish in cabo, but the fish literally all tasted like nothing. And they should Not have all tasted like nothing. I was very disappointed. It was the worst 30 something dollar chirashi bowl I had yet but the presentation was fantastic. Never had a chirashi not in a bowl. Oh and the imitation crab made me chuckle, ngl.

    Decent. Bad cocktails. Sushi is fine tho. Expected a bit more. Nice servers, but they can do better.

    Sashimi Serranito. What made this amazing was the lime juice in the sauce.

    Nik San is always consistent. When you come to Cabo, you can choose from several different options for sushi but this place will always be at the top of the list because they have a smooth operation and a steady menu. They don't go over the top with a ton of daily rotating fish options though. If you're the type who wants their Kinmedai or 5 kinds of Snapper, you will need to check down from that level. I compare it to a Nobu in that they keep it simple but with no bad surprises. Expect a higher tier level pricing as well. We sat at the sushi bar which was the call because you get the best conversations with the chefs and they can recommend what's looking good. We started with the Sashimi Serranito which was on point. Not too spicy and the sauce had a nice tang to it. We also had the Gyoza app which was done very well. Just the right amount of crisp to it without being a dumpster of oil which happens a lot of times at some places. I went with the Tuna Tostada which is never bad. This is a "Go To," menu item for Nik San. My husband always moves towards sashimi so we got the Yellowtail, Sea Bass(Was on special), Toro and Blue Fin. All were top notch. For drinks, I got the Copa Rose and my husband got the Copa Pinot Grigio. Both were good. Nothing extraordinary but they have limited by the glass options. I always wish that they opened up the drink menu a bit more and added some creativity but it's not a big deal. As always, a nice experience and Nik San will get you in and out in under an hour if you have places to be. They are tight in that part of their points of service.

    Delicious, fresh sushi with interesting flavors. Definitely different than any sushi I've ever had! Service was fantastic. Attentive and gave great recommendations that we all enjoyed. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the ambiance. It's really bright and quiet and could use some livening up. The food is so great though, I'd definitely go back!

    You know that feeling when you've been covered in saltwater mist from whale watching and dust from atv riding and sunscreen and sand, and then you get all cleaned up and put a nice fragrance on and get the outfit thats been hanging in the closet since you landed, and you just feel exfoliated from head to toe and like all of that sunshine that you've been bathing in is now just pure happiness coursing through your veins, and you need a place to eat that's exquisite as you are in that moment? You know? Yep, Nick San is where you go. We've been coming here for years and it's always excellent. To start with, the service is amazing and stands in stark contrast to the unhurried vibe you'll get when you order food on the beach or at many places in town. At Nick San, they are jammin. I mean these folks are a well-oiled machine. Vibes are great - you didn't get all dressed up for nothing! Be prepared to pay for it, too - it can easily get close to $100 USD pp. As for the food, it's hard to go wrong. STRONG recommendation for the Noki roll - not sure that it's on the menu, but we had to order another after we thought we were done with the meal. Yellowfin app is a non-negotiable. We've been with people who don't usually like sushi, but they like what they get here. One of our favorite sushi spots anywhere.

    Best. sushi. ever.

    This was another restaurant we tried at the Sunset Beach resort location...and some mixed feelings…read more First of all, the restaurant had a super-cool architecture...somewhat dome-shaped. I thought it offered such great views of the beach, it was quite disappointing to learn that they're only open for dinner...when it's now too dark to enjoy the views. Anyway, we arrived via the tour bus and the golf cart (Sunset Beach is HUGE...and you basically cart around to all of its restaurants) for dinner. Again, can't recall the exact names of the foods we ordered (and too damn tired!), but we shared most of the items. Edamame was quite plain, but the Miso Soup was stellar (had a ton of Tofu and even noodles in them!). We really loved the main dishes...the Tazuna Roll and the Katsu Chicken w/ Rice and Avocado. The big disappointment was their desserts. Not sure what my husband had, but he was just OK with it...and my Tapioca dessert was just gross! It had this nasty, slimy texture (NOT the texture the Tapioca should have...should be much bouncier!). Plus, it was so plain...all same muddy green colored. Same with their Pina Colada...so plain, not even with a pineapple embellishment. As stylish as the restaurant was, the presentation of some of their foods and drinks were very basic and boring. I guess I liked the Tazuna Roll the best...the Tapiocca the least. Overall, I'd rate their foods as 3 stars, but ambiance would bring them up to at least 4 stars.

    Stayed at a condo in Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. We tried Tazuna on our last night at the resort,…read moreand had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I wish we had heard of Tazuna earlier during our stay so we could go back. The wait was an hour on a Saturday night - which seemed typical for the time of year and 5 weddings occurring on-site that weekend. The staff were very friendly and the outdoor area had a nice view of the ocean.We ordered an assortment of sushi and appetizers - all which were presented well and tasted fresh and delicious. I recommend eating here if you're staying at the resort!

It's right outside by the main pool, built like a "nest," which gives it such a unique and memorable vibe, especially at night. Definitely one of the coolest dining setups I've experienced. Service was great the entire time. Attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel smooth and relaxed. As for the food, everything we ordered was amazing. We went with the gyoza, oysters, jumbo shrimp, prime NY, jumbo blue shrimp, toro and salmon nigiri, and a maguro roll. Honestly, not a single miss. Fresh, flavorful, and really well executed across the board. If you're staying at Viceroy, this is a must. Even if you're not, it's worth making the trip over just for dinner here.

The beef skewers would have been good if not slathered in a sickly sweet sauce. Now the part that pissed me off: we had the all inclusive meal plan. The meal plan is not cheap and is like 1k more for a family of four than paying à la carte and yet they treat you like a leper if you have the meal plan!?! Make that make sense. Over all this resort was mid let alone the mediocre restaurants. Will never be back. For an elevated luxury experience I much rather Garza Blanca resort and any of their restaurants.
