Tora is a very fancy place with nice food, provided with entertainment such as performances on the side. There was experts executing performances such as fire shows and fireworks as well. Their sushi was delicious and drinks were not that bad at all, but they charged us for a drink we didn't order...uhhhh that was quite annoying because we told them we didn't order a gin and jam drink but it took 2 staffs and others to keep asking about the drink when we didn't really order it, simple as that LOL. The desserts were immaculate but we literally had to wait 45 minutes for some of them to come out and had to keep asking it's whereabouts. read more

This is honestly the best restaurant in cancun. even tho the price is expensive but it is so well worth it. My husband tried the waguy steak here and it is amazing, super tender and melts in your month. My ribeye steak was also delcious. The service was also amazing. read more

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at Tora. The drinks are GREAT, but the food was less than ideal. We got the sashimi platter, fire balls, and corn. Quite frankly, everything was cold. The sashimi was okay, a little fishy and salty but ok. Fireballs were basically a cold mound of spicy Mayo and corn was just so so- mine was cold, my boyfriends was good. On the bright side, I'd give the staff many more stars-- however, covid-wise there were a few too many people visiting our table, all with those little "chin masks" that are about an inch high just barely making it to the top lip. Our server, Mauricio was extremely kind and accommodating as we are both gluten free. read more

Best restaurant experience I have ever had!!!! The food is just to die for. The staff is so attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is incredible. There were two shows just in the span of when we were eating!!! Experienced fireworks right on the water during our dinner, it was incredible!!! Even with COVID going on they were still able to maintain protocol and put on the best dinner any of us had ever had!!! And on top of that the restaurant gave every guest a sparkler and everyone lit it during the song sweet caroline, so everyone was singing and it was incredible!! Expensive meal, but SOOOO Worth it!! I wanted to go back every night of my trip during Cancun I had loved it so much!!! 100% recommend!!!! read more

Amazing environment and food. Great music, private firework show, and attentive hosts. Unique experience.10/10 recommend if you have the money. read more

The food and view is great. However, they are very pushy and schemey. My boyfriend and I came for our anniversary and the moment we sat down they asked if we wanted celebratory shots. We assumed they would be house tequila or complimentary, so we said ok. At the end of the night we were charged $170 for those. I could have understood them pushing us on like $30 shots each, but this was robbery. We told the manager that this was crazy who told us he would bring it up in the next days meeting with the waiters. No adjustment to the bill. Will not be coming back in the future. Just don't listen to any recommendations from the "waiters" as they are just AGGRESSIVE salesmen. read more

I appreciate the effort in the environment, staff fashion, and flair. West facing terrace is nice during sunset. However, the crispy octopus was not crispy. And the Angry Roll (or something like that), was good, but not surprising and the beer choices were Japanese standard (Sapporo), or Modelo and something else and that's it. Stars for environment, staff, and location. However - over-priced for the cuisine and the expectation that off-hotel dining in Mex might be less expensive than hotel's mark-up. read more

We had a terrible experience at Tora last night. We called to get a reservation to celebrate our friend's birthday and after we ordered, only three out of seven orders came out. We waited for almost two hours for the rest of the food and at closing, they came and told us they had given our food to someone else and we would not be getting the rest of the four dishes. More than half of our group did not get any food and they refused to compensate us in any way for the terrible service. Once they took our orders they completely forgot about our table and did not bother to update us about the missing orders. The three orders that did come were overpriced and tasted mediocre. The manager we talked to at the end was also extremely rude and was not apologetic whatsoever. read more

Really loved this place. We got a table out on the patio and enjoyed everything. The Ahi Cheek was a must have. The short rib bowl with tortillas was a must have. The seafood tower was legit. By far the view was the best thing! The Wagyu was NOT a must have, it was worse than a normal USDA choice steak. The drinks were all good and the service was great. The sister restaurant Rosa Negra was awesome as well, we went there the night after. read more

This experience was the peak restaurant of our Cancun trip!!! The food was special, unique and creative. The service made us feel like we were VIP. And a bonus was the fantastic dinner show! Going to come back for sure, again and again. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place! Even the bathroom was exceptional. read more

Was very disappointed with place... food was great but service Sucked.... Asked for food to come at same time was a difference of over -9 mins... as far as dessert asked for coffee and dessert the same time again 29 minutes different... would not go back .... read more

A beautiful setting facing the lagoon and fabulous sunsets. The modern Japanese cuisine is fabulous and the service exemplary. You might wince when I out get the check but then you will reflect that it was worth every cent. read more

U.S.A. WARNING! Hey my fellow americans I write this review to warn you about another scam. It's this restaurant! The food is absolutely sickening. O have had some of the best maki sushi, negiri, and sashimi and this place promised to be as good or better. Let me start off by saying I ordered the large sashimi combo platter and the "dragon roll." To start off the rolls were overseasoned (salty) and the sashimi was slimy, smelly and clearly not up to sushi grade. So I decided to call another restaurant and make a reservation before I even got the bill here. When I got the bill the server asked if I liked my meal and drinks, I said it was a but of a letdown for the price. Also the drinks were way too sweet. He then scurried off to grab a manger. Then they confronted me with the sushi chef and two mangers and I voiced my complains about the lack of quality, and the bad flavors that ruin the dish. All the sushi chef could do is tell me he is ashamed this happens and I told him to try to do better next time. Then the chef and manager begged me to stay for a free drink and a free dessert. I didn't come to this place for dessert!?! I wanted the best sushi! So I told him that if he made a good dish he could inspire me to change my mind. Then they gave me some of the worst sushi I have ever seen again! If you come here, please be wary of the tactics they use to overcharge tourists and rich folks. Don't trust the sushi. read more

AH-MAY-ZING! I cannot rate high enough! We made a last minute booking for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I was convinced we would get an ordinary table with such short notice (We booked at 4pm for 7pm). Well were we pleasantly surprised - we got a great table with a nice view. When we arrived we were welcomed with "Happy Anniversary Mr And Mrs T. Our waiter was lovely and made some food recommendations which were spot on. The food is to die for! Seriously the best food I have had in a long time. Some people may find it a little pricey but I don't mind paying of the food and service is above average! Honestly the best food I eaten in a while. AND what's more, even with a short notice booking we were presented with a dessert with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate, and with sparklers, at the end of our meal! NICE TOUCH GUYS! read more

Hands down one of the best fine dining restaurants located in Cancun. Starting from the chic design of the entire place to the food, and exceptional service provided. As a whole Tora México exceeded expectations and went above and beyond. read more

Our table on the terrace was amazing! Beautiful view and ambience. The sushi was so delicious and service was spectacular. We will definitely visit here again before we leave Cancún! read more

Ahhh sashimi, wayu meat! And rolls so delicious. Nice view to the lake and fantastic service.

Mexican, American style Japanese food. The fireworks were nice but it seems they spend too much on that instead of finding a good chef. This place is a complete tourist trap if you want REAL Japanese food, but if you only wanna have fun and enjoy the fireworks by the sea then it's the perfect place to go. BTW their also make terrible drinks with fancy nice looking glasses, nice for taking the photos though. read more

Best experience. The waiter Jesus was very attentive. The sushi rolls were delicious. The meat dish was perfect. OMG THEIR RICE WITH GARLIC WAS PERFECT. They surprise my son with a make your own cake at end of dinner and chef hat. The price is not bad at all compared to other restaurants in this area. Worth the drive to have a great experience. Would recommend to any sushi lovers. The drinks were really good read more

Right next to Rosa negra, ( must try both) we had a lot of seafood inspired dishes. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The wait staff was so attentive and really did a great job of explaining everything on the menu. The atmosphere was beautiful, we sat on the deck and watched the sunset, great music was playing. After dinner with went on the lower deck where there are white couches and had dessert. Another elegant, hip fun place. Totally recommend. Some of the best dinning in Cancún!!! Love love love!! read more

My boyfriend and I recently visited Tora on our vacation to Cancún in hopes for a romantic dinner on the water. This food was DELICIOUS! Great fresh seafood and the Waygu tartar was amazing. The sushi rolls left a lot to be desired. The rice was thick and mushy. The service was kind and attentive. However, I am EXTREMELY disappointed that with the stunning view on their beautiful outdoor deck over the lagoon, we were not able to sit outside without sitting in the cloud of cigarette smoke from the table next to us. It was completely disgusting. We ended up moving to a table inside with less of a view and less romantic. read more

This was my first visit. Everything was amazing. The service the food the quality and the price. Beautiful restaurant. Great music, loud enough to hear but not overtake your conversations. The attention to detail is what takes this restaurant to the next level. The wine list is expansive yet compact enough not to overwhelm. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service. The only downside was the exceptionally loud music. We sat outside and had to ask several times to have the music lowered. We were told that they were trying out a new sound system and were still figuring it out. So hopefully this will be fixed. We will definitely be back, though, for the outstanding food and service. read more

Been going to Cancun for 27 years, this place by far is one of the best places. Had a Waiter by the name of Jesus, provided the best service I have recieved in a long time. Every assistantant was also just as attentive. the presentation, quality and flavor of the food was astronomical. You must try this place if you go to Cancun it's one of those places you need to go to if you are there. read more

If you're looking for an indulgent experience, this is it! Service is exemplary; the food is presented artfully, and if you like sushi, this is the place. I haven't seen the check yet, but it's completely worth it! read more

I ate here for my birthday and I can honestly say this is one of the best dining experiences I have had in my life. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the service was impeccable. A few dishes I would highly recommended are the fire balls, spicy lobster miso soup and the grilled sea bass. read more

We enjoyed our lunch at Tora. There are few little thing could be improve... The selection of Sake was on the low side but the Sea Bass is a must try. Over all the food was good excepted for the waygu beef it was on the sour side. Service was very good which was expected with the price tag they charge. We will definitely come back again! read more

Where should I start?! From the moment you step in, you know you're in for an incredible experience. Every single person that worked here were beyond welcoming and accomodating. Along with the waiters and waitresses (Our waiters were Luis and Dante), they also have managers that stay out on the floor to make sure things run smoothly. All of the managers introduce themselves and make you feel right at home. We were able to enjoy the view from the terrace which is so beautiful at night. Unfortunately, it began to rain so we had to move inside, but even that was a smooth transition. Several waiters came over and moved our food and drinks to our new table inside. Now, as for the food, for an appetizer I had the spicy lobster miso soup which was delicious. Next I had the USDA Prime Ribeye and the steamed rice with crab. The steak was cooked perfectly. I liked the rice but after awhile it became a little overwhelming because it had some type of cream mixed in. For dessert I had the mascarpone cheesecake with miso caramel. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was pretty good. All of the desserts take about 20-25 minutes to prepare because they make them from scratch! Overall, I'm glad we gave this place a shot. To be an upscale restaurant, most of the prices were reasonable. My ONLY complaint is that due to the rainstorm, their debit/credit machine wasn't working. The storm affected their internet so it took about 20 minutes to check out, but one of the managers offered us a free drink on the house while we waited! After the debit transaction finally went through, another manager even hailed us a cab so we wouldn't have to stand out in the rain! I recommend this place to everyone. You won't regret it! read more

Fantastic place for dinner! The food was superb, cocktails were novel and delicious, service is top-notch, and the atmosphere (particularly outside during a night they have a show) is great! If you come, I would highly recommend the steak dry aged in whiskey. Everything is excellent, though. Shout out to our wonderful service staff: Dante, Roger, and Jose Luis. read more

Can't say enough good things about our dining experience here. The food was spectacular. Coming from Manhattan, where there is no shortage of great food, this took us by surprise. Best gyoza we've ever had and every dish we sampled was fabulous. The Japanese mushroom rice hot pot was prepared in front of us and the presentation was as wonderful as the dish itself. We look forward to coming back so we can experience this restaurant again. And let me not forget to Mention the incredible View and gorgeous atmosphere. Five stars - would give it more if there were more to give. read more

Such an amazing dining experience. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent and the views were breathtaking. Celebrated my sisters 30th birthday dinner at Tora and they made it so special. Highly recommend this restaurant as a must stop place when you visit Cancun. Miriam was our server and she was so great!! We had a vegan friend with us uwho loved the tofu and custom made vegan sushi roll (and much more). read more

This was hands down one of the best experiences I've had, from the ambiance, to the food, to the service, to the whole experience! I love a restaurant with great ambiance and this one certainly had that! The waitstaff (Dante and Roger) were amazing. The restaurant it beautiful. The music was great. There was a bongo drum performance so the entertainment was great. There was a fireworks show on top of it all! My favorite restaurant ever! read more

This is absolutely my best dining experience in Mexico! The food are amazing and very creative! Do try the cocktails, I would try every one of them if I had the chance. The service, I mean, is the best. It's newly open, I'm sure it'll soon become the best in Cancun. read more

This review pains me to give. First off, the food was very good and delicious. Full of flavor. However, the service was embarrassing. We are a very large group, and we understand that. However, their sister restaurant next door RosaNegra had no issues handing our large group. Tora asked us to have a set menu which was fine, and we set it up in advamce. When we arrrived their was mass confusion among the staff whether the first couple of courses should be served family style or individually. Either way was good with us. The original arrangement was family style. Which is great and we agreed on that. We gave them direction on what we wanted more and less of, and everything was the opposite. Then they brought the FAMILY STYLE soup in 3 bowls, for 10 people, with NOTHING to serve it individually. Also we had to ask 8 times for spoons for the soup. Then made us feel dumb when we asked for individual serving dishes. 20 minutes later we finally got our individual bowls and spoons. The main courses which we ordered individually tasted great but they forgot a few of the individual plates. Dessert was okay but also required an unnecessary final discussion whether it was to be serve individually or family style. Drinks were a whole other issue. We told the servers we wanted wine, and it took them 40 minutes to serve. On more than one occasion wine found a way into our water glass. And we had to ask for coffee multiple times at the end. A special thank you to the young server who brought our requests right away. In summary, if you are a small group you are probably fine and will have a great meal. However if you are a large group you should have a conversation with your head waiter about what the tip will or wont be. read more

Amazing food, vibe and service. Elio and all the staff did an amazing job! Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting. We tried a bunch of great places during our trip. This was the best read more

Terrific setting on the lagoon with outstanding food and wonderful service. Our waiter Roberto helped us with our food choices and he did not disappoint. Hamachi cheek, first time trying it, and the sea bass were both exceptional dishes. Both choices were delicious with a melt in your mouth finish. If you're planning to visit Cancun, you won't go wrong by visiting Tora. read more

This place is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Don't miss this dining opportunity. From the moment you walk in you will be amazed. A dining experience awaits you like none other. The ambience, the owners, the staff, and the amazing chefs will create drinks, appetizers, entrees, and deserts like you have never experienced - unless of course you've been here before. The flavors are phenomenal - your palate will thank you a million times over. Don't forget to get a table outside - unbelievable views. Take a tour of the restaurant - the bar - and of course their sister restaurant Rosa Negra. You may think you want authentic Mexican cuisine - which of course goes without question - but if you don't eat here - I promise you're missing out on something special. Thanks so much guys for your creativity and hospitality - we'll be back!!! All the best for good fortune and success. read more
