An Asian paradise on the Nichupé Lagoon. Delight yourself with exquisite and authentic cuisines; Thai by our Chef Sawai Suwannachat and Indian by our chef Kishan Singh. Heighten your senses in a jungle hut or in a bungalow over the lagoon, accompanied by our signature cocktails. Feel the magical atmosphere guided by our house DJ Gabriel Guzman.
Dear client, for us your upcoming experience in our restaurant is very important, for that reason we inform you that our Thai & Elefanta Restaurants are in same location, however, for reasons of Plaza la Isla remodelations, we will have a deviation in the access to our entrance, this deviation is through Fashion Harbour, in the hall between the Rolex and Dolce & Gabana stores, you will arrive at Ryoshi's entrance and turning to the right you can find us, if you arrive by the parking lot that is by Palacio de Hierro, just follow the hall that is in front of Ryoshi restaurant and at the end we will be waiting for you.

We had a beautiful bungalow over the water which was perfect for the sunset. It was also perfect for our family as we didn’t have to worry about our young children staying quiet and in their seats. This is our second time dining here and we will come back each trip to Cancún.

Great meal and ambiance w show at 9pm and 10pm. Loved Greek salad and Octopus dinner. Would suggest doing shots rather than cocktails as it comes with lively presentation (and the martinis weren't that great). Service was excellent

Loved it! Had a table on the terrace. Service was superb. The lamb chops had a nut crust that enhanced the flavor. Huge portion. My husband had the salmon and loved it. It was our anniversary and ordered baked Alaska prepared at our table. The vibe was energetic. There was even a show with fire dancers. A great dinner. Will surely return.
