Teppanyaki Sango — Restaurant in Mexico City

Japanese street food that is both delicious and reasonably priced. Sango Teppanyaki is (surprisingly) part of the MO+F group, which houses various Asian restaurants all cramped into one building with different sections. Finding the teppanyaki spot was a bit tricky as there wasn’t any signage for the restaurant. I had to ask someone from a nearby Chinese restaurant for directions. It’s hidden (and sandwiched) between two other Asian restaurants, but once inside, I was greeted—though one server had to check the time as he thought they were still closed since I arrived just as they opened.

I was handed a menu and received a helpful explanation of the restaurant’s offerings. The menu itself, however, wasn’t in the best condition, with items scratched off or written over, which didn’t give the most professional impression. After the explanation, I decided on the pork mondanyaki with yakisoba noodles. The noodles were prepared off to the side, and I had the chance to stand up and watch my food being made. The server then brought my dish over, placing it on the hot plate in front of me.

The mondanyaki was delicious and tasty with a barbecue sauce that was the star of the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and was very satisfied with my meal. Although the service was generally good, trying to pay took quite a while, even though the servers were almost right in front of me. I was also initially given the wrong check and had to ask for the correct one. The slow service made me realize this place is indeed part of MO+F, as their restaurants also struggle with service.

Prices were very fair at $230 for the mondanyaki. The vibe was definitely there, and although I was the first customer of the day, a stream of people arrived shortly after. They had great music playing, and I can imagine this place really coming to life in the evening hours. This is truly authentic Japanese...

If you want to experience the true Japanese food this is the best place, the chef it’s Japanese and the recipe is the same u can find in Japan. The service is very warm and respectful the guys explain the ingredients and the process of cooking, it’s the only place where I can drink the traditional beer Asahi and Sapporo this a traditional Izakaya here in...

Te atienden muy bien desde que llegas, tienen mesas afuera pero dentro es toda una barra y la mayoría de la gente espera por esto. Pedí una limonada (que siento deben mejorar en el sabor), unos edamames, los mejores que he probado hasta ahora, ya que siento que les ponen algo de mantequilla y les da un sabor único, también pedí unas brochetas de muy buen sabor, además de unos fideos salteados de pasta udon, puedes pedir udon o un fideo más delgado que no recuerdo como se llama, pero son muy ricos. Mis amigos pidieron un okonomoyaki que también opinan fue de muy buen sabor. Al final pedí unos tomates cherry porque pensé eran a la plancha, pero no, solo los preparan con cebollas encurtidas y algo de vinagre parece.

No venden ningún tipo de caldo, todo es a la plancha, pero es un lugar que de ahora en adelante fue de mis favoritos.

El total fue como de $1600 por tres personas, fue lo que ya mencioné, cerveza, una bebida tipo naranjada, varias limonadas...
