Delicioso, fui en domingo y estaba muy tranquilo y encantador el ambiente, gracias. Estuvimos en la barra y disfrutamos muchísimo el omakase, bien delicioso.

The value for your money is excellent, and the quality of the seafood is also excellent. I would avoid the Omakase in order off the regular menu, which is what I will do next time I go.

La comida me pareció muy buena; sin embargo, no sobresaliente. Tienen varios licores de ciruela en la carta que no tenían. Fuimos para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi hijo y -honestamente- esperaba un poco más de emoción al presentarle su pastel: llegó la velita apagada, lo colocaron en la mesa como cualquier postre y ni felicidades le dijeron.

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.

Espectacular experiencia culinaria con el menú Kaiseki. Servicio inmejorable, todo muy bien explicado. El sake excelente, a perro relativamente razonable. El único detalle es la ubicación que resulta complicada.
