Entrees were ok. Apps and desserts were amazing. Service was friendly. Slower service but food was hot and fresh.

Honey shrimp
Craig W.

First off, if you have an allergy to CORN do not eat here or any restaurant including the bistro at the Sunset Beach. The reason is because they cook only in corn oil, which I experienced quickly the repercussions. We opened with the veggie tempura, which is really a side dish, but they will do it as an appetizer. The veggies were sweet potato, carrot, green beans, a few asparagus tips and a lot of zucchini. And I mean a lot. It was covered in a Sriracha sauce creamy. It's good but you will want extra. For the mains, the spouse went with the honey chicken. Lots there. The key is to dip it into the sauce below it, otherwise it lacks flavor. I went with the dynamite shrimp. Lots of shrimp, small size, and a sauce that is spicy. Rice is on the side. Mushrooms were good. Flash fried. Service is outstanding.

Shrimp Dish

I have the pepper shrimp, the crispy tofu, and the pokey salad and it was really delicious. The tofu was OK. I thought it was gonna be like cut up fried tofu. It was OK. The pepper shrimp was good. I only had like three or four shrimp though, but I really enjoyed my pokey salad and I enjoyed my birthday treat at the end the service was good, my sister loved their Seabass dish. She wanted to go back and get some more but we didn't get a chance to my mom there. Lettuce wraps are there like lettuce wraps. I forgot the name of them My Cousin! loved her shrimp dumplings. Definitely give this place a try if you're staying at Pueblo Bonito resort in los Cabos

Orange beef (was not on the menu, but the kitchen was kind enough to customize)

This is definitely one of the better restaurants at Pueblo Bonito. Great ambiance, and very friendly staff. The food was great! We had the fried shrimp dim sum, the dynamite shrimp with a side of white rice, and the orange beef. Wish I would have had more room for dessert! Give this place a try if you are staying at Pueblo Bonito.

Pork ribs, sea bass, stir fried black pepper beef, fried noodles

After trying all the restaurants at the resort, Zao Shen is for sure the BEST among all! My boyfriend and I are both Chinese so we had our doubts when seeing this Chinese restaurant on site, so we almost waited until our last days to finally give it a try. It was such a pleasant surprise and we totally regretted not coming here sooner so we can revisit! All the dishes tasted incredible and the presentation was almost a perfection. The pork ribs was my personal favorite. But honestly everything we ordered were really good. Highly recommend!!

This was the hit or miss lol the dishes were either good or not good at all. Food that was good: The ribs were really good. Very tasty and full of flavor. The orange chicken was much different than orange chicken you find in the USA but it was amazing! Probably my favorite dish! The hot and sour soup was really good too. The ice cream was really good too. Food that wasn't so good: egg rolls had a really funny taste. Didn't taste good at all. The pad Thai was extremely different and not that good. The fried rice was actually terrible lol. The service was really good. Everyone is really friendly. They made sure our drinks were.m full. Guys fix the ac! Come on it's too damm hot to not have AC!! Really hard to dinner with it being so dam hot m!

Shrimp dumplings
Ellen M.

We dined here our first night on vacation when we weren't sure of all our options. The decor is cozy, but a bit dark. Reminded me of PF Chang's in the US. The food was average; we ordered a variety of dishes to share. Nothing stands out, but I must have liked the shrimp dumplings since it was the only photo I took of the food. Service was outstanding and I liked the way all the servers helped one another. There was a family nearby that had some badly behaved children who were climbing all over their table. I think this took things down a notch for me since it took a while for them to get moved.

Mmm wonton soup
Sara M.

Our waiter was really laid back and that's why I'm giving 4 stars. The same we paid extra for was really good, but can't remember name. The food was ok. I would go back because I'm hungry and it's free with all inclusive. We got a couples massage then walked over to see if they could get us table. They said 30 minutes so we hurried back to change . The wait wasn't too long for food. We didn't have to wait too long for drinks. All and all a good experience.

Honey shrimp
Claire D.

The food isn't quite the same as American Chinese, but it hit the spot. We had the tempura green beans (the breading was very nicely seasoned and they were good and crisp), orange chicken (not crispy and very runny sauce totally unlike American orange chicken), pepper beef steak (really great flavor. Our favorite dish here), chow mein (pretty standard), honey shrimp (again, nothing like honey walnut shrimp, but tasty), hot and sour soup, and wonton soup. The hot and sour soup and wonton soups were nothing like in the US. The wonton soup tasted more like knorr chicken soup from a packet, with a single wonton. The hot and sour had cilantro in it and was weird, but not bad. I finished a lot more of it than I meant to. We ended up with leftovers that we took back to our room and ate later cold and they were delicious. It was a nice option for all inclusive, even if it wasn't quite what we expected. Our waiter didn't judge us for ordering a ridiculous amount of stuff and was nice. For a surcharge-free all-inclusive dining option it was good.

After eating nothing but buffets at the RIU Palace resort, we ventured out for some comfort food…read more While strolling down the boardwalk we stumbled upon this place. It was empty during peak dinner hours, which in hindsight should have been a telltale sign but, we didn't think anything of it as Asian food was hard to come by in that area. Our party of six decided to sit in the outdoor patio overlooking the Harbor. The menu, while limited looked promising. For starters we opted for the Gyozas and Chicken Satay. Both were decent but, nothing to write home about. Following our appz, we had their Malaya Coconut, Tuna Rolls, Caramelized Salmon, Caramelized Pork Ribs and Chicken Pad Thai. Each dish that came out was worse than the last. They lacked the proper Asian flavorings with some dishes being devoid of flavors altogether. For instance, the Chicken Pad Thai had an overwhelming flavor of ketchup while the Malaya Coconut was bland and watery and the Caramelized Ribs were tangy and one noted. This was the trend with all of the other entrees. Service was just about the only pleasant thing during our dining experience. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The price is moderate considering the location however, I feel that it's overpriced for mediocre food and I would not recommend this place.

Came here to eat because it was a part of the all inclusive for Marina Fiesta. Our reservation was…read morefor 7pm on a Thursday in the middle of August. For the entirety of our meal, we were the only diners in the restaurant. ORDERED: Tibet roll, oyster roll, salmon temaki, salmon sashimi, mixed sashimi, salmon salad, New York cheesecake, margaritas, coronas, and waters. PROS: Our server, Cristopher, was pretty good. He was attentive, made good suggestions, and checked in on us often. CONS: The food. The food was only meh. It tasted like something you buy from the supermarket in the refrigerated aisle, except this sushi was room temperature instead of being cold. The fish was mushy, soaked in the sauces, and not at all fresh. Also, the fish was room temperature/borderline warm. Bleh. Every roll had a Philadelphia roll base/filling and there was tons of cream cheese in them. The rice was also very mushy and overbearing. There was way more rice then there needed to be. We had the margaritas both on the rocks and blended. Each order of margarita was made completely different. In the blended order, the margarita was so salty. The salt wasn't because of the rim, the drink itself tasted like someone poured a handful of salt into it. For the second round of drinks, we ordered margaritas on the rocks. One of the cups was really sweet, and the other one tasted like there was only tequila in there (not necessarily complaining ). Ultimately, we ended up ordering coronas - because you can't screw that up... For dessert, we ordered tempura ice cream. Unfortunately, our server informed us that they had run out of this. So instead, we ordered a NY cheesecake. It was just okay. Nothing special or fancy. We were seated in the outdoor seating area. While we were eating, there were three recently flies who would not leave us alone! It was quite bothersome. Towards the end of the meal, there was a bee who joined in with the flies. This bee, though, was even more relentless than the flies and would not leave even after being swatted (making contact!) a few times. It flew on our cheesecake, into our margaritas, and everywhere in between. All while this was happening, our server and 5 other employees stood by idly watching us, talking about us, and laughing amongst one another! It was kind of annoying. Ultimately, we knew going into this place that this wasn't going to be the best sushi we've ever had or even anywhere near it. What we did hope for, though, was for the seafood to be much fresher and better prepared. BOTTOM LINE: Don't go. I would not recommend this place - not even if you are craving for Asian food.

Look, Cabo can chew you up and spit you out with its postcard sunsets and resort traps, but every…read moreonce in a while you stumble into a spot that delivers the million-dollar view it promises. Sunsets & Sushi Bar is one of those. Perched overlooking El Médano beach, with the iconic El Arco rock formation glowing like a middle finger to the Pacific horizon, it's the kind of place where the sky catches fire every evening and you feel like you've bought a ticket to paradise. The ambiance? Top-shelf. Breezy, open, live music drifting in, flat-screens flickering sports if you're into that it's got that effortless cool that makes you forget you're in a resort bubble. Service was sharp, attentive without the fake enthusiasm that makes you want to punch someone. They didn't hover, but they didn't let your glass go dry either. Solid. The food? Here's where it gets real. Presentation was gorgeous those rolls and plates arrived looking like they belonged in a glossy magazine spread. The edamame? Bomb. Straight-up addictive, salty, popping with that fresh snap that makes you forgive a multitude of sins. But the sushi itself? It's on the sus side. Not terrible, not dangerous, just... not transcendent. Fresh enough for the setting, creative rolls with local fish nods, but the quality felt a half-step behind what the view demands. You can taste the compromise. Portions lean small, too classic resort move. And the prices? They hit you like a rogue wave. This place gouges hard. You're paying premium for the panorama, not the precision of the knife work. It's Cabo tax, pure and simple: beautiful location equals beautiful markup. If you're expecting Tokyo-level sushi, you'll leave disappointed and lighter in the wallet. Would I go back? Yeah, once. For drinks at sunset, maybe a couple of those killer edamame bowls, and let the view do the heavy lifting. Don't load up on rolls unless you're feeling flush and forgiving. It's not the best sushi in Cabo hell, it's not even close to the hidden gems but damn if the setting doesn't make it worth the pilgrimage. Four stars. One knocked off for the wallet-rape and the food that looks better than it tastes. The other three? Earned by that view, that service, and the simple joy of watching the sun bleed into the sea with a cold drink in hand. Worth it? For the experience, sure. Just don't pretend it's about the food. It's about the escape. And in that, it delivers.

Sunsets & Sushi Bar is the outside bar / restaurant at the Pueblo Bonito Rosé. Most of the time the…read morebar was staffed by only one bartender and his assistants. Poor guy was working his tail off. The wait can get long at peak times. I'd occasionally see two bartenders. I think the management needs to do a better job at staffing. One needs to wait in line or needs to go through the wait staff just to get something simple like a bottle of water...which can get very annoying. The views from the deck are lovely, but seating is limited. Mostly on a first come basis. The wait staff was good, we did need to flag them down when they were busy. The lunch options were not good. Almost everything was bland. A bland lunch: ~ Mazatlan-Style Shrimp Ceviche - 3/5 Standard Shrimp Ceviche. I'm not sure what differentiates it and makes it Mazatlan-Style. ~ "Pueblo Bonito" Shrimp Cocktail - 3/5 The shrimp was good. Very tomato saucy cocktail. ~ Shrimp Baja Burrito - 3.5/5 This was the best thing I ate here during lunch. It was simple and tasty, albeit on the bland side when it came to flavor. ~ Shrimp Tacos - 3/5 I had better Shrimp, tacos back in Cali... Most definitely edible, but nothing special about these. The menu for dinner is different. That's when they serve Sushi. I didn't get a chance to check out the dinner menu, this review is only for lunch.
