23 Best Sushi Bars in Cancun

“Mind-blown! I'm seriously contemplating a 300km road trip just to relive the magic at this spot. It’s got this understated, clean vibe…totally gives off a speakeasy feel. The rolls here? Next-level. They’ve somehow mastered this wild Japanese-Mexican fusion, and don’t even get me started on the ponzu sauce with habanero…it’s a game-changer. This place just claimed the top spot on my list of Japanese joints. Already itching to go back!“

“Our server Alex y Emanuel were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. They recommended amazing dishes and created an amazing experience for my husbands birthday! Also the shows in the evening are fantastic! Definitely will be back here again“

“Every time I crave some sushi, this is my first option, I have attended with my girlfriend, family, and everyone has loved it, the portions are excellent, the flavor magnificent and the service great, you must try it or yes, the Strawberry lemonade, super rich and refreshing.The top quality ingredients and abundant shrimp in the teriyaki are in large quantities and not counted like in most places, you really will not regret eating here.

Parking: It is on Huayacan Avenue, it can go unnoticed if you don't pay close attention since it is a place in a group of several places.“

“Visiting the Yamamoto restaurant has been an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment I entered, I was impressed by the authentic atmosphere, which mixes traditional Japanese elements with a modern and elegant touch.

The service was impeccable, with staff attentive and knowledgeable about every dish on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options available, from fresh sushi to hot dishes like ramen and tempura. Each dish was perfectly prepared, showing genuine respect for Japanese ingredients and techniques.

The sushi was, without a doubt, the best I have had in a long time: the rice was just right and the fish was of the highest quality. I couldn't resist ordering several more pieces than planned. I also tried the ramen, which had a rich, flavorful broth, full of umami, and the noodles were soft and delicious.

Furthermore, the presentation of the dishes was worthy of a work of art, showing the attention to detail that characterizes Japanese cuisine. The calm atmosphere and neat decor made the meal even more enjoyable.

In short, Yamamoto Restaurant offers not only delicious food, but an authentic Japanese experience. It is a place that I recommend without reservation to anyone looking to enjoy true Japanese cuisine in a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. Without a doubt, I will return soon.“

“Very delicious, authentic sushi. Very nice selection. I had saki, apps, a couple of rolls, and some nigiri. Crunchy tuna roll was a standout. I sat just in front of the chefs and watched them make all of the food. Very happy and I'll definitely be back.“

“We went on a Wednesday 2x1. The rolls are good, their soy is too low for my taste. I saw that they have packages at a very good price that bring a variety of food, it's a shame I saw them late, there for the next one. If the floor looks dirty as do the stairs. The delicious kushiages.“

“Food service at the Japanese "Umami" restaurant can seem somewhat slow - but the food is delicious.

2nd attempt: faster service and food just as tasty! I think the Shake Don was my favorite dish but everything was awesome.

I would only recommend this restaurant if you are staying at the all inclusive hotel (NYX). It is pretty dang expensive without the all inclusive package.“

“The service is fast and good, the rolls were delicious and at an affordable price, it should be noted that they have promotions almost daily so it becomes more accessible if you go in a large group of people.In general everything was perfect.“

“Visited April 2024 - Superb flavour and excellent cooking of the fried rice dishes, and the vegetable tempura was crispy and well seasoned. We went for hot dishes rather than sushi, but can highly recommend the fried rice if you're looking for something comforting and just need a bit of a break from Mexican food. The restaurant is a very relaxing place to be, good air conditioning too if you want a break from the sun and don't want to go into the supermarket across the road. The service was efficient and friendly, not many people in the restaurant at lunch time, but it was still a nice place to be. Prices are standard for the mid to lower range in Cancun.“

“Fuimos por recomendación de unos amigos y sin duda fue una experiencia increíble, desde que llegas, muy buena atención, un poco confuso llegar, pero estan justo a un lado de la entrada al casino de Plaza La Isla, no dejamos nada de lo que pedimos, edemames, gyozas, rollo dragon y la joya de la corona es la Totoaba con un sabor exquisito!!! Las bebidas de lychee que prepara su mixologa estan deliciosas La noche fue un éxito gracias a nuestro mesero Jorge“

“It took a while to deliver the rolls but it was really delicious, it was worth it and the promotions 10/10 recommended

I returned after two months and I loved it, they improved their service a lot, I also ordered a great white wine!! and the waiter Luis is very good! It was super delicious“

“They have a good variety of ingredients and dressings and you can make very delicious combinations, however the proteins did not seem fresh to me. Although I understand that it could have been something of an occasion, it is still good to consider it when they handle ingredients such as seared tuna or salmon. They must be very fresh.
The service is friendly and fast.“

“Since we arrived the attention of the staff was very good and attentive, both the terrace and inside are recommended to sit, inside you feel more air conditioning but on the terrace when it is closed a little of the same air is maintained, first we started with fried gyozas of meat, although I recommend steamed more, they are somewhat small but good as an appetizer, then we ordered a miso ramen which is the most delicious, and the nikuzono which is something different and sweet, we also ordered a tuna roll but I didn't like that the They cook tuna and it loses a lot of flavor and freshness, a shrimp yakimeshi, for desserts we ordered a matcha cheesecake that is super good and different from what they serve as desserts in other restaurants“

“I went out of curiosity and without a doubt I was more than surprised, this time I ordered a super delicious tropical salad because of the mix of flavors.As for cocktails, enjoy a Piña ColadaThe atmosphere is pleasant and even more so with the live music (the kitchen staff surprised me when at one point they started clapping to the rhythm of the music, the gesture was wonderful?)I hope one Saturday, it's salsa ??

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant“

“I am delighted with the place, the value for money is very good. The attention to my point of view was also very good, the night I went was quiet so it may have had an influence. The portions were very good and had a very rich flavor. Of everything I ordered, I only didn't like the salmon nigiri but the tuna one was tasty. In general, I do recommend it, and it also has a 2x1 promo on Mondays and Thursdays.“

“Amazing experience. The ambience is second to none. Only saw one of the shows with the ladies, wish they performed more but they were great when they did. Definitely an Instagram worthy performance. I may go back and try the other restaurants“

“Everything you order is very well prepared and very tasty. We have visited the place several times and tried several dishes and the truth is that we have never been disappointed with the service and even less with the quality and flavor of everything we have tried.The service has to have a separate mention, all, and I really mean it, all the collaborators who have assisted us in one way or another have always given us extraordinary service. It is very surprising because unfortunately not everywhere they serve you like this. The hosts are very helpful and treat you as you expect, smiling, empathetic and helpful even though the place is full and that is very often, and with that I confirm that if it is always full it is for a reason. The food and the presentation are always 10, even when we have ordered takeout they make every effort to ensure that everything goes as it should be.I can't decide on one dish or two, everything is very delicious. I love the bowls, but so do the rolls. There is a lot of variety and really everything, whatever you order you will surely like. There is parking, it is a quiet place, if your order takes a while, it is because they really have a lot of people and they make everything from scratch. Highly recommended.“

“Julio treated us, everything was very good in general, really. We went on Wednesday when we rested because other shushis were packed full because of their 3x2 and here they managed a good 2x1 with a good price and good service and atmosphere. In general, everything was delicious...nothing was left over, HahAhha, highly recommended.
Very“

“The food is super original and I think the price is fair for what you receive; the best quality food.It's not your average Japanese food.It just seems to me that the place is kind of old; A remodel would be good for them.The service is very good.“
