Best Sushi in Mexico, every dish we had was perfect.....highly recommended when in Mexico City. A true hidden gem

Great restaurant with cool vibes and very good sushi. We had an amazing lunch here and highly recommend this restaurant to others. The quality of the fish is very high and it gets jammed pack fast - so make sure you book your table or come in early.

Awesome spot with excellent fresh sushi. I’ve been to Japan several times and this place ranks right up there. Highly recommend.

One of the best sushi spots I’ve had in all my travels! It’s a small corner sushi bar with a HUGE amount of flavor. The chutoro/truffle handroll and broccoli appetizers are to die for. Gustavo has the most amazing recommendations and is so friendly/sweet. Love it here!

I love this place. it’s a beautiful corner amazing atmosphere so peaceful. The trees blowing the seating is basically outside because of that; to keep in mind. the food is good. The sushi roll and food is fresh and the service is nice overall a 10:10. Good flavors, really good service, and just amazing atmosphere.

Rolls, and rice, were very tasty and good. I appreciate that the manager was taking care of every table, but sometimes was too much. Coming with the card machines for us to pay. And we were just enjoying our drinks. It makes us to be uncomfortable. Other than that we like the food, congratulations to the cooker's team

An incredible setting, beautifully decorated. I enjoyed everything I got. I ordered the Shoma roll, I loved it. Had some nice sashimi, it was delicious. And they brought me a couple of other things that i didn't ask for. And i believe i was charged for them, so they weren't complimentary. I was in the mood to try more so i didn't mind. One of the things they brought me were some fish tacos. It was a party in my mouth. It was like a rainbow on my palate! I can't describe it lol the fish filling was very mayonnaise-y saucey but in a good way. The paper-thin fried tortillas were the perfect crunch. Was the best thing i ate during my entire 5 days in CDMX. March 2025.

Without a doubt the best sushi in the city !!! The food was exquisite and the finest service I have seen. I will definitely come back for more !
