Ohana Sushi, Tapas Y Bar — Restaurant in Jacó

Went a couple times because we were really impressed by the sushi. The details are all really good (the temperature and cut of every bite is excellent, for example), the produce and fish seem to be consistently really great, and the price is very reasonable for how great the quality is.

The tuna summer rolls and "magic" mushroom rolls were both to die for though. I really recommend you try both. I almost couldn't believe how good the quality and portion of tuna in the summer roll was (not to mention a good preparation), and the magic mushroom roll was the most flavorful vegetarian roll I have ever had. Just texturally and flavorfully delightful. It might be my favorite thing we tried, and we tried quite a few things.

The most different thing we tried was a green curry. It was quite unique and certainly didn't taste like any other Thai-style green curry I have had. Like much Costa Rican food, it wasn't even faintly, vaguely spicy when ordered at medium spice, so maybe try hot and add your own peppers to taste. It also didn't have any notable classic fermented fish stink and I don't think the base had shrimp paste. Much more complex-vegetable-forward aroma. It was quite tasty, however. Only downside was the rice served with it wasn't great, just ok (but all the rice in our sushi was top-notch,...

Re-edit to address response below: Sushi needs work. This is a well-known place in Jacó, the setting is nice and the location is very central. Yet, you have to know what to order. We got takeaway; the karaage and tuna tataki carpaccio to start, both were delicious. However we ordered rolls as our main and turns out all of them had a mushy texture (all soft ingredients, almost like overcooked rice) and just too much sauce - not pleasant at all. 3 stars because of the sushi, and hoping they improve their recipes in the near future.

To the response below: I'm not saying at all that your menu and service is bad (I even say how two dishes were "delicious"), but that part of your menu could use some improvement; in fact, other reviewers have also commented that the sushi could improve. I'm using this tool to give you feedback that could help you get better. A good business is one that is constantly pushing for improvement, listens to its customers and uses that to further its offer, and if they can't take critique well that says something about that business - and therefore I’ll have to...

We went to Ohana for dinner after reading the great reviews it has, and it didn't disappoint. Sushi was as great as people praise, but it isn't the best for a long shot. Book in advance, the night before if possible, because it is small and does get fully booked almost every night. You should also know that you're going to have to wait at least 45 minutes for your food: they have a small kitchen. Last "complaint" is the sushi wasn't was cold as I would have wanted it to be, it was at room temperature. All that aside, we order a red tuna starter which was the recommendation of the waiter, and it was incredibly tasty. The drinks we order were great, as was the sushi. It is pricey but not too pricy for a fancy sushi place. You're definitely getting your money's worth (and that is a lot to say in Jaco because many places are obsenely overpriced). Ideal for couples, and definitely...
