Sushi Bar Masayume — Restaurant in Jalisco

I may have ordered the wrong things....the tempura was not what I expected. Rather than the traditional battered vegetables I got a plate full of stringy vegetable fritters with hardly any batter, it was weird & not tempura! The Yakitori chicken was tough & tasteless. I saw the kitchen extensively using a microwave & could not figure out why...my nuked chicken confirmed it. You get 3 pieces for $90p served with slivers of cucumber. You have to built the rolls, so you order Californian at $68p and then add $35p for salmon or tuna. I found prices were high, portions small for what you pay.

A bit more expensive than your average dinner out in Ajijic, but well worth it for quality,...

Great sushi with creative rolls and a fantastic chef. This place even carries traditonal Japanese bevarages such as sake and Sapporo .

Overall a wonderfull place that is equal to even the quality Japanese restaurants back home in America. If you are looking for a nice change of pace while visiting the Lake Chapala area, this is defiantly a place to try out.
