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.

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 mocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was outstanding--from the miso soup and kampachi and crab hand rolls to the taquitos and the Riyoshi Roll.

Service was friendly and attentive, by far one of our best restaurant experiences in a long time. We'll definitely return the next time we're in Mexico City!

BEST SUSHI I'VE EVER HAD…read more Does that above statement say it all? Surprising to me as well as we just stumbled on this place craving sushi. First you have to walk through a restaurant then go upstairs and enter a door with no labels or anything. Then you're greeted with a 13 or so seater along a bar. From there you have to go omikase and just let the chef take care of you. Most memorable item was the scallop. It was the fattiest, butteriest, sweetest scallop I've ever had. Do not skip this place while in CDMX.

Our server recommended a few options for us after finding out it was our first time there and that we were traveling in from out of town. They were solid recommendations and we really enjoyed our fresh air dining experience out on their patio. The prices were relatively high, but it somewhat follows the high class area that we were in, but not a cheap meal by any means. It was a fancy splurge. The one thing that we didn't like was a lot of the specialty dishes were very mayonnaise-centric. Another roll we tried was very buttery, since it had clarified butter spread across the top, so it gave it this sort of movie-theater popcorn after taste. So those items weren't our favorite, but the traditional nigiri sushi and sashimi were well prepared and delicious!

I have…read morebeen to the Santa Fe location before but since this one is the OG one I wanted to try this one. 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 !

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.

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency & since this restaurant is located in my hotel we found out that this restaurant is the original restaurant before it was the Hyatt Regency & glad they kept it! I ordered a few appetizers; gyoza, edamame, tempura, & sashimi. They have this; soy sauce, vinegar, fresh Serranos marinating altogether & used it on everything! Be sure to get a bowl of that for your sushi also, especially if you like spicy. All the desserts we ordered were excellent. If you roam around the restaurant, I highly recommend doing so, this place is massive & traditional ambiance is beautiful, I sure don't see anything like this in America but, in Japan. Anything you order you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

I had the good fortune to visit with my cuñados. We basically did the feed me, where the chef just keeps going until you tell him to stop. It was incredible! We basically did a tuna tour with 7 different tuna nigiris from the top to the belly of the tuna - each one absolutely excellent. At the start, the chef asked us about preferences and when I mentioned that I like wasabi, he told me there would be none - and there was no need for any. The nigiri construction was simply art - lots of very subtle flavors that just made each one excellent. Most of the time, I had no idea what it was, even though I was watching him construct them. He suggested that I use my hands and eat them with the protein side on my tongue - incredible. We also had one with foie gras and one with black truffle - both were good, but frankly, just their normal fare did right by me. The nigiris were about 100 pesos for the normal stuff up to 200 for the toro (~$5-$10), a fantastic value. If you have any affinity for Japanese food, you need to try this place - it totally rocks!

Sushi Iwashi in Mexico City is a must-visit!…read more My favorite bite was the oyster, incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hand rolls were insane, and the sashimi was honestly the freshest I've ever tasted. The nigiri options were endless, and each one was chefs kiss. I loved the omakase style, which allowed the chefs to guide us through a delicious journey. We paired everything with sake and vino, which perfectly set the vibe. The service was impeccable, the chefs made us feel so welcome and recommended all the best bites, while the servers were super attentive. Can't wait to go back! P.s they have a spot at the airport too, so if you don't get a chance to try it in the city don't miss out at the airport!
