Asai Kaiseki Cuisine — Restaurant in Mexico City

A waitress gave me a bad behavior. First of all, I asked her a glass of water and she said she would give a bottle of water. So I said you used to serve a glass of water and she asked me again if I want a glass of water. And in the end of the meal, when I pay, she misunderstood the amount of tip and complained to me with saying that “Solo 10 peso?”. I actually didn’t want to pay for the tip for her service but the rest of people in the restaurant were nice so I paid. But as a result,she embarrassed me. I think it was not appropriate to complain about the tip she gets.(I have never met those waiters nor waitress before in Mexico) She totally ruined my day from the beginning till the end while I came here to have a relaxing/ stress-free time.

When she brought change, she didn’t say thank you or sorry for my misunderstanding. When I leave, she didn’t say thank you or have a good day even though I passed in front of her. (It was more like she tried not to see me. )

When we go to the fancy restaurant, we expect their service that meets the price. But her service was...

It was just OK , not WOW, especially when you saw your food was already prepared somewhere in the kitchen behind and then your chef just decorate it nicely in front of you from reused plastic yogurt containers...? I mean.. are you serious..? I know it was not a michellin restaurant but my bill was almost 80 usd for lunch. You don’t expect plastic containers paying this. Not thrilled at all. Also the variation of sushi for lunch omakase (4 pieces) was mediocre. Is was a combination of 4 white fish sushi. They should add some kind of diversity like shrimp, octopus, uni, unagi, not just white fish, boring. Love the decoration though. Amuse bouche was also great. But I have to say that the icecream was the weirdest thing I ever tasted as a dessert, way too...

Authentic Japanese restaurant. I couldn't think about to have a authentic Japanese dinner in Mexico city.

It was great experience in polanco. Tasty food, beautiful presentation and perfect staffs. Also waitress told us some of artistic dishes are made in Mexico.

We had the March Kaiseki menu. Everything was perfect !! Starting drink to dessert. :))

Especially, Cactus Sushi was very frist time to eat in my life. Only in Mexico. LOL

I haven't seen " Asahi Dry black Beer "any where. I like atmosphere, food and price too. It was $1800peso per person. But it is cheaper than any Japanese authentic Kaiseki in North America.

Also owener is Mr. Asai and he is very friendly and good Japanese chief.

I will go back there on July for...
