Alejandro, the owner, falsely presented himself as a surf instructor and asked to take me out for a lesson while I was having sushi at his restaurant. I had never once been on a surfboard. He later brought me to what I now know as an area not suitable for first timers. I was never instructed on how to descent, and I didn't know what I didn't know. 30 minutes in to my 2 hour session I got up on the board (yay!) and proceeded to fall down (boo) onto CORAL. It ripped through both of my feet and my knee. The adrenaline allowed me to make it through .5 mi of jungle and to a pharmacy. I was bandaged up and sent along my merry way. I looked like an injured WW2 war vet, but the pain hadn't yet set in. Alejandro proceeded to have me pay for his lobster lunch and charged me full price for the surf session (prices that licensed professionals charge, and I later found out that he is not one). I paid without argument b/c I needed a ride home and I was a woman traveling alone in a foreign country with a man I didn't know and now didn't feel safe with. Long story short the pain set in that evening and I couldn't walk for almost 2 weeks. I ended up having to cancel my airbnb a day before and stay at my boutique hotel so they could take care of me better (ca-ching!!!! $$$$$$$) I messaged Alejandro about my experience once the dust settled and I was able to better understand what happened to me. I was met with an argumentative and rude tone with an eventual half-a$$ed apology. The sushi here isn't super great either, but that is to be expected. If you make it to Chillum, tip his staff well. They were great. But then ask for an intro to Alejandro and give him the finger for me. Caio!

From start to finish, this was by far our favorite night of vacation... When I called to make our reservation, I was greeted by Valentina. She recommended a seat at the sushi bar, and of course, we said "si"! Little did we know that we would be seated in front of head sushi chef, Yosuke, several hours later. We were in awe watching him prepare all kinds of sashimi, nigiri, maki and more... He also chatted it up with us and made us feel so welcome-- almost like guests in his home. What an honor! We also met Chef Name who we learned was a former sumo wrestler! Service was fabulous but the food was the star of the show... we enjoyed every bite we took ranging from salmon, yellowtail, soft shell crab, scallop, lobster, and tuna caught that same day. We cannot wait to return to Si Sushi on our next visit to PV... until then, I do t think any sushi we have will compare.

I'm happy to say that we can now add a fourth to the exceptional category. What a fantastic experience with Si Sushi last night. We were seated at the bar right in front of our chef and basically got an Omakase and great conversation as we enjoyed our anniversary dinner. Chef started with a presentation of all of the fresh fish, both flown in and locally caught. He then walked us through many courses including red snapper, blue fin, amberjack, uni, sea bass, hamachi, and more. No soy, no wasabi, just perfectly prepared bites brushed with nikiri. We finished off, we thought, with a bowl of house made ginger ice cream. After that was an anniversary surprise and a serenade by a mariachi band. What a night, ten stars.

Not only is the food amazing, the chef is an artist. The restaurant is struggling a bit at the moment, so I'm requesting that if people have the opportunity, please, please go have a meal there. Here are pictures of our dinner and the menu. Reservations are required, a few hours in advance, so that they can prepare for your arrival. A special shout out to Mercedes, who is a wonderful server and an amazing person.

DELICIOUS honest to goodness SUSHI, with high end US/CAN Resturant quality. 3. There is a "Sushi" resturant in Bucerias whereby if this "unnamed resturant" could speak virtually to Aki Samurai those hearing the conversation would think that a 1st Grader was speaking to someone with a Post Doctorate degree. 4. Like other High Quality Sushi Restaurants understand that you'll "Get What You Pay For" 5. Finally I urge you to go and try this place! I go there religiously and I give this my highest recommendation to you!! And if Pictures Can Tell a Thousand Words I will leave with these: (Note - this is a Reservation Only resturant. They do this so as to ensure they will be ready to prepare for you ONLY the freshest and most flavorful sushi and sashimi available having spent 1 or 2 days ahead of your visit sourcing it -- [WHO DOES THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE?] ) Bon Appétit - Enjoy in Good Health...

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.

When we arrived,…read morethere were only two other tables and several staff members on the floor, so we expected attentive service. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We were served water in very small cups, and no one checked back to offer refills. Our food took quite a while to come out, and throughout the meal, no one came by to see how everything was or if we needed anything. At one point, a server came over and began clearing our table without asking how the food was. I had to stop them to request more water and order a brownie for dessert. The food itself was good, but the service really brought the experience down. If you're not in a hurry and don't mind inattentive service, you may still enjoy it, but otherwise, it could be disappointing.

My sister Alexa heard about this restaurant from a friend, so we were psyched to try something new and had a fabulous experience... We sat at the counter and loved watching the sushi preparation and attention to detail. Every dish and drink that was served.

They offer an omakase menu which I would definitely try next time... We finished our meal with the matcha green cake, a scoop of ginger ice cream and a scoop of matcha ice cream. I loved the ginger! This place uses high quality ingredients, has a fun vibe albeit quieter and smaller than other options in the area, English speaking staff, etc...
