Amazing food! One of the best Asians I have been to!

Edit: reading some other reviws I have to add that we entered at the opning time (18:30) and most of the food was probably as fresh as it gets.As I am not a big sushi specialist I would rate it 4/5. I was quite pleased with the selection and quality. Tom yum goong is edible with cilantro overpowering the taste, maybe 2/5 to a Thai cuisine fan such as myself. Peking duck was dry. Couple of sauce dishes were rather bland. Spring rolls not too crispy but I honestly enjoyed them with cherry sauce. Tuna in sesame seeds was overcooked (if you like medium/raw) but still juicy. The chicken drumstick was dry and rather tasteless. Overall I would recommend to go with the sushi and springrolls.From desserts the coconut balls were quite good (juicy and sweet), donut like ball was dry, dumpling looking rum ball was good, cup cake thing was juicy but rather tasteless and the last one i would call strawberry on sawdust.

One of the richest you're going to try. I liked the decoration, the super quiet atmosphere, everything to eat well, rich and relax a bit.

Of the three restaurants in the hotel, this is our least favorite. Even so, if you are staying for a week for dinner one night, it is correct.

Of all the hotel restaurants I think it is the weakest, it is not bad but I think it should have better dishes. Even so, it is a good option and it is still a pure buffet.

Although the setting is not everything, it does enhance the experience and in this case the setting was not successful at all. They offer a buffet with a choice of some noodles (I don't know how oriental they were), other rice noodles (more successful), vegetable tempuras, spring rolls and sushi. The sushi ? did not stand out. Although I am a vegetarian and there was a choice for me, I did not like it. The next day, at the buffet lunch and at the beach club, there were the same pieces. I believe that they can improve it much more so that it really is a different experience and worth visiting.

The food tasted good, unfortunately several dishes were only lukewarm. Ambience is uncomfortable, very loud and the presentation of the food is more like a canteen style.

Not great at all. Sushi was dry and no idea what was in each piece.The rest of the food was cooked and left on a hot plate. Nothing freshly prepared and all buffet style.I did not enjoy this meal at all.Dim sum on menu but not available in buffet.

Food was good, but I found it to be similar to what is available at the main buffet. It is a nice setting on a smaller scale.
It is the first time I have had a Rogan Josh curry in an Asian/Indian restaurant it did not work not good
Very nice restaurant, I normally like Asian food... and I didn't except much from Asian restaurant in Mexico, but it was awesome... Very much recommending!
It's not bad but it could be better. The sushi has to improve on the rice, which is the key, and that there is a little more variety of pieces. It is buffet style.
