This is some of the best sushi that I have ever had. The seafood is fresh and they have a variety of everything. The service is impeccable and the environment is very romantic. This is one of our favorite places to dine while in Cabo

Located in a strip mall across from the One and Only Palmilla resort – the restaurant is nicely located and pleasantly designed (sort of cheesy contemporary). Food is just average, with so many good sushi restaurants in Cabo – I would not go back. Cucumber salad was soggy. Sashimi was tasteless (except for one fish, I think it was fresh... More

If you like sushi this is your place. Try the local dishes which are divine. Ask to sit on the patio for an ocean view. Service was the best we've had in years. The servers know the menu and know parings.

Very modern and upscale. Food was okay but not the best sushi I've had. In fact, we had a couple of the chef's specials and had to order more food because there was so little there. Prices were very high. Might be okay for a special occassion and if you stick to the sushi you like, instead of the chef's... More

Like another reviewer said, I was a bit hesitant to eat sushi in Cabo although it was right on the water. Why was I nervous? The sushi was out of this world. So good that I went back a second time on our 5 night trip. The second time we sat at the bar and had the sushi chef prepare... More

We enjoyed a very nice dinner at Nick-San sushi restaurant. Many restaurants have just awful, awful service and Nick-San certainly does not. The service set this restaurant apart. The sushi was great. The wine was great. The atmosphere was very nice with inside and outside dining. Tourists should have no concerns eating here, it's very safe. Menus are in English... More

We have had great sushi all over the world and this was by far the very best. Yes, its a bit pricey, but the service and the quality make it a value. Looking forward to going back again soon!

After living in California and having great sushi, I was a little apprehensive about trying sushi in Mexico. NOT any longer! Nick-San has amazing sushi. The appetizer twist, fresh tuna on a tortilla chip, YUM.

We went for Japanese food one night, thought we might go back for sushi but not once we got our bill for the Japanese night. One glass of red wine was 130 pesos!!!! It was a very expensive night for a couple dishes. The dishes were tasty enough but not good enough to make us come back at those prices.... More
