I'll make a point to go on any and every trip to Mexico City. Huge menu, but it can all be trusted! Super fresh, high quality seafood. Original review 6/29/2024: Everything was delicious. The sashimi tuna belly was exquisite. We had a whole fish, can't remember what it was called but it was great. Solid kao soi.

My group was 3 people and we all opted for a 7 course sampling of the chefs favs (one with just the fish option - pescatarian).

We savored each of the courses and I can't wait to go back again.

Omg! We're already talking about what to order on our next visit…read more Had an early dinner (by local standards) at 6:30pm on a rainy Friday night. We were seated right away without a reservation. Loved the decor and the casual, intimate atmosphere. We tried the sashimi, vegetable gyoza, salmon don, wagyu beef, seafood fried rice, and finished with the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. If I had to offer a critique, I'd say the wagyu was just okay--not bad, just okay. Deep respect to the kitchen for executing such a comprehensive menu. The consistency shines through not just in the high-ticket items but also in the staples like gyoza and fried rice.

A solid spot if you're looking for Japanese food. We walked in without reservation for a late lunch…read moreand found it wasn't busy. The weather was nice, so we sat in their covered patio area. You can scan the QR code to pull up the menu. It was in both Spanish and English. The menu was extensive, a little something for everyone. There was ramen, rice bowl, udon, sushi, sashimi, shabu, maki, nigiri, etc.   I tried the maguro mix don that had chu-toro, o-toro, and akami on top of white rice. This was a perfectly balanced meal. A good fatty texture on the sashimi. Rice to fish ratio was also good. It was refreshing from all the food we've been eating in CDMX. We all enjoyed our don and ramen.   Service was a bit slow regarding when our food came out but they brought out everyone's food at the same time. The restroom was clean as well. The indoor seating looks spacious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and would recommend this spot if you're looking for Japanese food in the Roma Norte area.

The location is kind of…read moretucked away (nearby streets were closed for construction, Uber had to drop us off 2 blocks away and we walked. It wasn't a bad walk. Didn't opt for the omakase since my husband thought it was too much food for him. A la carte it was. We enjoyed all the food. Udon was great! I prefer udon over ramen since I like a cleaner and lighter broth. The portion was smaller than I expected, more like an appetizer size than an entrée size. Only nigiri I didn't quite liked was the geoduck, it had a fishy taste still (think aji). Would definitely return on a future trip.

We had a lunch reservation and went with the kaiseki course (rather than the sushi course). The…read morerestaurant is tucked away from the street, and there were some ramps/stairs we had to get through to reach the restaurant. I'd say that they've got service and presentation down pat. The quality of the food, I'd say, is pretty good too. We started with a persimmon tofu salad with crab, shrimp, and asparagus - very clean flavor, refreshing. Then an assortment plate with mackerel & ika, trout roe, seaweed-marinated egg, matsutake mushroom salad, cactus nigiri (yes, you read that right!), and wagyu cake. I was not impressed with the wagyu... it was lacking in flavor and a little on the chewy side. The cactus nigiri was interesting! I like that Chef Asai is trying to incorporate Mexican culture into his dishes. I've never had cactus before, but it had that crunchy texture and plant-like taste. We then had a sashimi course - akami, hotate, and striped jack all on one plate. I think I would have wanted these separate instead of all on one plate, but maybe that's just my preference. We also had wagyu shabu-shabu, which I enjoyed! Overall, it was a mix of good and decent, and I enjoyed our lunch here! Interesting take on kaiseki experience.

Let's just say that Chinese food is not easy to find in Mexico City if you're not looking for a buffet. We finally came across Ah-Un which is basically pan Asian. As a general rule of thumb, don't ever eat sushi at a place that has no customers. If the fish is not moving then you're asking to be sick. There was also a smell coming from the bar which smelled like old alcohol. It's not fish but it gives you an idea of the cleanliness. We decided to get the katsu don and the pad Thai. Two cooked dishes that seemed like a safe choice. The pad Thai wasn't bad. It tasted like the dish should taste and was a large serving. The katsu don was not as good. The katsu was dry and the rice was tasteless. I mean it didn't even taste like white rice. It just wasn't good at all. At the end, we were just glad to eat something other than tacos.

Both were super fresh and delicious but not spicy at all. I also ordered the noodle soup which ended up being gigantic but the broth and noodles were perfect for a rainy day.

You may think you shouldn't eat this while in Mexico given it isn't Mexican food but I think you should! Tasted just as authentic as a Japanese Restaurant in California!

The miso soup was incredible, and we also had bok choy, edamame, and a few pieces of sushi. Everything was so fresh and some of the best quality sushi I've had in a long time. The space itself is small, intimate, and so cute. You can sit right in front of where everything is being prepared and watch them slice the fish and put each dish together. Silverio was wonderful. My friend had never tried raw sushi before, and he took the time to guide us, make recommendations, and explain what we were trying. She ended up loving it! He was incredibly kind and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal. You can really feel the attention and care that goes into the food and the experience here. They have both an omakase menu and a regular menu with plenty of options. I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back next time I'm in CDMX.

We could see the sushi chefs right at the bar next to us preparing our food skillfully with long sushi knives. The restaurant had a nice open-air atmosphere just off the street so definitely a better experience if the weather is nice. We ordered salmon sashimi, 1 hamachi nigiri, a spicy tuna roll, and a hiramasa sashimi. The Hiramasa (yellowtail amberjack) was something I had never tried and they put a nice spin on it by slicing it super thin and adding some citrus and ginger to the bite. Overall, had a great dinner and would definitely come back to Gin Chan!

From the outside it looks like a cute spot from Japan which makes you feel like you teleported and the decor on the inside was very cute. The service was so great, everyone was nice and answered all my questions. From the moment I step foot inside they welcomed me in Japanese and Spanish which really gave to the teleporting vibe. The chef who did my omakase was so nice I wish I remembered his name but you can see him in the picture. His style of omakase was amazing and as we got to the end it just kept getting better and better. He had my dad and I saying "wow" over and over again. One of the courses that blew my mind was the fatty salmon nigiri with shaved frozen foie gras which gave it the perfect buttery texture wow. To top it off he gave us a Wagyu nigiri with uni on top which is literally butter on butter and I was so amazed. The other chef said wait till you try the eel with the foie gras and WOW like it just kept getting better and better. I left sooo full I couldn't finish my dessert even though it was delicious and I felt like I was going to explode so we walked around reforma. Some people think omakase will not fill you up but it sure does! Thank you so much to the team of Rokai for making my birthday amazing !

This place was an absolute hit. Some of the best sushi I've had in months…read more They have plenty of outdoor dining, and friendly, prompt service. They have a pretty extensive menu ranging from cold dishes like sushi to hot dishes like Ramen and rice bowls from next door. We started with two appetizers, the Gyoza and the Shishito peppers. The shishito peppers were excellent, and had a flavor I had never quite experienced with them before from whatever sauce they were made in. They were very delicious. The Gyoza was also very tasty, and had a hint of ginger that was a nice addition. For my meal, I ordered a bunch of pieces of nigiri. Every piece came out perfectly fresh and incredibly made, for an absolutely delicious experience. We finished off with the Matcha tiramisu, a dish I wasn't even expecting to be so incredible. I would love to go back for it, although frankly I'd love to go back to this place for everything I ate tonight. We also shared the strawberry mochi, which was so good we ended up ordering a second one. I'm already looking forward to returning here. All of this that I mentioned, plus the rice bowl that my cousin ordered, was only $80. It is pricey, but less pricey than I was expecting.

It's in a trendy area and upscale although we came dressed mor casual. It's on the second floor and has amazing ambiance. We ordered the dynamite roll, crispy spicy tuna, truffle salmon, miso soups, caterpillar roll and tuna truffle roll. The truffle roll has to be one of the most amazing rolls I've ever eaten, if you like truffle of course. Everything else was amazing as well. The dynamite roll was great and I highly recommend literally everything we had. They also have great drinks, we had a mexcal maracuja drink and lychee martini as well as hot sake. For dessert we chose the tres leche cake and the truffle ice cream cream brûlée. If I say I have never tastes anything as amazing probably almost in my life as this truffle ice cream!! I know if we would have gone to a restaurant of this magnitude in the states it would have cost double of what we paid here. The service was excellent and Samuel and everyone was so attentive.

Not Masa, Nobu or Morimoto good, but could hold its own amongst most other well regarded Japanese restaurants. Glad we were able to find this so close to our Polanco hotel.
