Kunio — Restaurant in Mexico City

This was a pretty good sushi place overall, and the experience was great. I had a sushi roll that was wrapped in banana because I thought, "even though this will probably be gross I have to try it". Well, I was wrong. It's delicious.

There were a few things that could be improved though in our opinion:

the ramen is the first issue. The egg is simply an unseasoned (very) hard-boiled egg, not ajitsuke tamago. The broth is pretty good. The noodles are just ok, and the toppings are a little lackluster. On the bright side, the fish was cooked absolutely perfectly, and portioned generously.

The poke unfortunately was simply too sweet and one-dimensional to finish. It badly needed some acidity or sharp vegetables to bring it back to balance.

The sushi was just mediocre, though again, I think the banana sushi was a great idea. I wish that proper soy sauce was served, as the soy-orange sauce didn't balance the flavors but instead enhance only the sweetness of the sushi, which was quite sweet to begin with (including our fish sushis).

The mochi was predicably good (I imagine everyone buys the same brand) and plated very nicely. The Hattori sake (a Mexican sake I believe) was delicious and we opted to have it cold.

The service...

Llegamos a Kunio por recomendacion de Google. Y aunque ya tienen disponilidad para comer en el lugar, optamos por pedir todo para llevar.

En el tiempo de espera mientras preparaban nuestros alimentos, pude notar varias cosas:

El servicio es excelente, los meseros son muy atentos.

Todo lugar es super limpio y siguen todas las medidas higiénicas al pie de la letra (tapetes sanitizantes, control de temperatura y gel antibacterial a la entrada, sana distancia entre mesas, menú con codigo QR, meseros y cocineros usando cubrebocas y caretas).

La comida es preparada al momento, por lo que pueden tardar un poco al servirla. Pero vale la pena la espera.

Los precios son bastante adecuados para el standar de la comida... entre dos personas y comiendo bien, gastamos $600 aprox.

La ambientación del lugar es hermosa.

En cuanto al sabor, dista mucho de los restaurantes de sushi comerciales. La tirada es un poco más hacia cocina tradicional japonesa, lo cual agradezco bastante.

Lo recomiendo bastante. Creo que se llevarán una grata experiencia si visitan este lugarsito de...
