⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exquisite Fusion: A Five-Star Dining Experience. Okus in Medellín is a culinary masterpiece that seamlessly blends the vibrant flavors of Peru, and Colombia with the refined elegance of Japan. From the moment you step through the stunning entrance, you're transported to a world of exquisite taste and captivating ambiance. The staff's impeccable service elevates the dining experience to new heights. Their friendly attentive and knowledgeable approach ensures that every guest feels pampered and well-cared-for. The Japanese-inspired décor, with its serene and minimalist aesthetic, and a water pond with fishes creates a truly immersive atmosphere. The principal plates are a symphony of flavors, each dish a testament to the chef's culinary artistry. The fusion of Colombian, Peruvian and Japanese ingredients results in a unique and unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or a lover of Peruvian or Colombian cuisine, you're sure to find something to delight your palate. The dessert menu is equally impressive, offering a delectable array of sweet treats. Each dessert serve was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation, satisfying even the most discerning sweet tooth, howeverI wantto emphasize the unique and irrepetible yellow bell pepper ice-cream dessert (Okus Chef Irvin Trademark). To top off the evening, the captivating Japanese dance show is a mesmerizing spectacle. The graceful movements of the dancers, combined with the rhythmic music, create a truly enchanting experience. Again, Okus restaurant is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. It's a place where you can indulge your senses, savor exquisite cuisine, and immerse yourself in a world of culture and elegance. We have an absolutely outstanding dining experience at this Colombian-Peruvian-Japanese restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect – a cozy blend of modern and traditional decor that immediately set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The fusion of flavors was spot-on, showcasing the best of both Peruvian and Japanese cuisines in every dish. The entrance plates were excellent, perfect balanced flavors. The sushi rolls were fresh and imaginative, with unique ingredients that worked together perfectly. The ceviche was among the best I’ve ever had, balancing citrus and spice with incredibly fresh seafood. I want to put especial emphasis on the staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and recommending some amazing options. Everybody deserves a high five kudos, unfortunately I don'tremember the names, but especial kudos to Mrs. Geraldine, Chef Irvin, and Manager Alexis Familia. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of complex flavors that were both surprising and satisfying. It’s rare to find such a seamless fusion of two distinct cuisines, but this place pulls it off with elegance and flair. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience in Medellín. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....will definitely be returning!

This place was by far the biggest dissappintment for me from all the "fancy" restaurant I been to in Medellin. First I ordered colliflower that had about 3 line description of its ingredients. When I tried it, it was just unsalted colliflower with butter, nothing else. No taste. At least they were nice enough not to charge me. Second was shrimp in squid ink batter - and that was all. Just plain batter with some sriracha mayo. But the worste was yet to come. I was recommended seafood rice. In reality it was a lobster bisque/ soup with lots of overcooked rice, some shrimps and rubbery calamari and for unknown reasons, they put in peas and avocado. The avocado was just terrible. Sonthe best part was my mango juice. For the apetiser shrimp, rice soup and mango juice I paid 150 000COP/ around 38 euro.

I just came out Okus. I ordered ceviche, they brought me octopus. The waitress wanted me to take it. After they exchanged it, two pieces of fish in ceviche still have bone. I think it is tilapia and tasted very fishy. I ordered Cremoso de Mariscos. The three mussels are not fresh. There are three big shrimps and some small ones. And there is no octopus as it says. I attached a photo. I arrived at 8pm. There is DJ who was playing party music in the middle. It is like a night club, not upscale restaurant. I did not want to bother to correct the octopus and just left. I do not know how they have the 4.7 rating. I will not go there again. The customers next to my table gave a thumb down too. It is over priced in Colombia. I paid $44 for the dinner.

The most modern & glamorous restaurant I have visited in Bogota, Cali and Medellin. The 12 images of seated Buddha & a typical Japanese bridge with carps in the pond added to the glamour. Soft background music enhanced the romantic atmosphere. Started with a unique Margarita mixed at the table. The orange colored fruit made of thin ice floating on top, melted into the drink when stirred. The pork and lobster dishes were out of the world. Henry our waiter knew enough English and was good. They had a list of drinks but no wine list. The paper serviettes should be replaced with monogrammed cloth napkins. I regret I can not add the. Videos I made.

Realmente el lugar es muy bonito pero desde que entras se siente el desorden, puede que haya sido un día de mala suerte y estaba muy congestionado pero aún así un restaurante se basa en su ambiente y organización, reserve hace unas semanas, y yo supongo que una reserva es para asegurar una mesa y no había, nos pusieron a caminar por todo el restaurante buscando mesas disponibles, nos pusieron en una la cual estaba muy pequeña, luego una en una sala a parte, pero de allí no podríamos ver el show, luego a una gigante que por cierto estaba llenísima de humo (que supuestamente iban a cerrar la cocina o por donde se entrara el humo y cuando pasé al baño seguía así) ya por último nos dieron una mesa, esperamos un rato a que nos dieran el Qr y otro rato en que nos tomaran la orden por lo que pensamos que estaría bien, nos dijeron que los platos se demoraban entre 30 - 40 min, pasó una hora con 20min (maso menos) y por fin llegó, la verdad hubo muchísima demora, mi reserva era a las 9:00 y terminamos comiendo casi que a las 11:00, tiempo que se perdió mientras buscaban mesa, mientras esperamos el Qr y la orden, y por último la comida. Algo más para agregar es que la chica de la recepción nos dijo que teníamos que poner en qué lugar nos queríamos ubicar, ¿pero como se supone que uno pone en qué parte se quiere ubicar si literalmente es primera ves, no conoces el lugar y no ponen una imagen o un sistema que muestre en donde podrías hacerte? Sigo con lo mismo, de qué sirve una reserva si no aseguras una mesa. Independientemente la comida es buena, en ese aspecto no tenemos ningún inconveniente pero más que todo les recomiendo tener una buena organización, y como dije anteriormente, puede que haya sido el día, la congestión o se les salió de las manos pero a mi parecer fue muy mala experiencia.

This was a whole experience! From the moment we were greeted, we experienced 5 star service. The food was delicious! We had the pork tacos and ceviche with octopus and they were amazing. The sushi was also very fresh and rich in flavor. The ambiance was pleasant with a live DJ. Beautiful restaurant and also very spacious for special event if needed. Also saw very creative drinks and a sort of non-alcoholic drinks too. Thank you to the chefs, the owners and every member of the restaurant. You made our visit one to remember. We will definitely come back!
