During this long wait, we had drank one small sake bottle and 3 bottled waters. We decided to settle our bill for the drinks and leave. The establishment did not offer to comp any of the drinks due to the absolutely horrible service. As far as ambiance, it was decorated enough for a shopping mall sushi establishment.

Unfortunately, Himitsu was the biggest disappointment of the stay. We were seated around 8:20 p.m.,…read moreand our appetizers didn't arrive until closer to 9:00 p.m., despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. When the appetizers and entrées finally arrived, they were cold. We also had to repeatedly get the servers' attention for drink refills. There appeared to be two people handling our table--one for drinks and another for food--but the service still felt disconnected. The tempura ice cream was probably the best example of the experience that night. By the time it reached the table, it had completely melted. As soon as I tried to cut into it, the ice cream poured out like soup. It was disappointing, especially after waiting so long for the meal. Maybe I can on an off day but the vibe in the restaurant wasn't appealing. I didn't see people leaving looking satisfied.

Alright, so here is the other Himitsu review. The one that that talks about a dining experience for…read moretwo people which is probably more their speed, and what they intend. Unlike the total farce which was our first experience here (you should read my previous review), this could not have possibly gone better. Service was prompt and courteous for both drinks and food, and the food itself was wonderfully delicious. So much so that you wonder if you're still in Mexico or were transported somewhere that Japanese and Asian Fusion is more common. This time we were seated in an area that had better AC flowing, and a view of the teppanyaki area for those that made reservations. That is the only place at the resort that takes a reservation. As I stated in other reviews, reservations should be allowed for large groups... as every time we showed up in our full 13 person quantity, it was like we just told the host that the apocalypse was currently in progress, and they freaked out. The appetizers are really good here, highlighted by what might actually be the best gyoza I have ever eaten. It doesn't stop there though, as there are a few sushi rolls to choose from that are well executed, and a nice little chicken sando that is good in concept, but just needs a different bread. The main courses are however, the stars of this show. The Mongolian Beef was beyond excellent, maybe even transformative. Highly marined, super tender, and I love the sauce which had caramelized onto it. It made you want to order another round... which we came back for another day and absolutely did. The chicken and steak fried rice was wonderfully presented with a soft boiled egg and dragon fruit. It was on par with most hibachi, I would say. The Mongolian beef was special. So as I said, roll up to Himitsu with a small party, everything is fine. Roll up with a big group, and chaos will ensue. More coaching is needed, but this 2 person experience was excellent.

The menu is very interesting as it is an Asian fusion restaurant. I ordered two pork belly baos which was humongous and so good. For ramen and other soups they had a baby, regular, and supersize option which was really great as we all had different stomach room and reduced food waste. They also had chili oil and other seasoning and sauces on the table for us to use. We ordered bottled water which came in a fancy glass bottle which was cool. The service was really great as well!

From upscale and more "fine dining" to places like this which are much more casual. Let me tell you something... I've eaten at both ends of the spectrum, and this one has been my absolute favorite! We had many different dishes. Multiple appetizers and we all had different rolls as well. As soon as we began to eat, outward verbal expressions of "oh wow!" & "Mmmm" were coming from all of us. The flavors are great & you can't beat the price. This is somewhere I will return time and time again. Everything was 5 stars.

It is not in the tourism area but from La Isla mall it's like a 3 dollar Uber ride. Neighborhood is nice so no worries about location. So now the food. It is Sooooooo yummy.

They also had Japanese beer and soda on the menu. Atmosphere is casual and comfortable. It's cash only but the prices are good so you won't have to bring a lot. My lunch with a coke was about 10 USD. Really good value. Their sister Restaurant across the street Bonito Kitchen is also worth the trip to that part of town. So now I have to go over there twice when I'm in town!

This place is very similar to Sarku in the shopping malls in the USA. The prices are decent, considering we're in a touristy area and there is a balcony here where you get a great view of the ocean.
