Best places: Japanese restaurants in Cartago, Costa Rica

😠 We have no idea how this restaurant has the reviews it does. We traveled all over Costa Rica for 2 weeks and this was the worst meal we had the entire time. We also traveled extensively for months through Southeast Asia and had a lot of authentic food - this was worse than we could have cooked at ho...

👍👍 Rare find! Delicious food, lots of options, great customer service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

👍 Would definitely come back again — the Tuna poke was spot on and sushi rolls excellent. I don’t recommend anything fried, though, because the batter is very heavy, not light like tempura should be. The onion rings were so thick, I just pulled out the onion and left the dough. Also, salmon croquette...

👍👍 Our favorite sushi place in town. The flavors were spectacular, the quality was fresh and the atmosphere was vibrant. Highly recommend it.

😠 The atmosphere was so cool. The people were awesome but the sushi was very mediocre. It was about 90% rice. I can't give above 3 stars for a restaurant with mediocre sushi, even though I really want to!

👍👍 Simply put, this is the best sushi/japanese restaurant you will find in CR. Even though the restaurant is small, the quality of the food the chef prepares is top-notch. Be aware you have to reserve a table ahead of time, as the restaurant follows a non-waste policy. Enjoy!!

👍 Good sushi at an excellent price.. the Spicy tuna was ok. But the Pulpo roll was delicious!! Had 20 pieces plus a nice drink (something with mint) for around 6000 colon. $10. Can't beat this price..

👍👍 The quality is always good! It takes a bit to get your order but it will be worth the wait. All the dishes i've tried were very good.

😠 To file a complaint; Today Saturday in the restaurant it took 30 minutes to make a simple invoice, it was already 8:20 and the restriction is at 9, so we could not ask for transportation home, it seems to us a lack of respect that they are not taken seriously the sanitary measures and the time that...

👍 Happy to find a Korean restaurant in San Jose. We probably didn't order the most authentic dishes on the menu because we didn't know. I ordered fried Marlin. It was not greasy and tasted delicious. It is a big portion so plan on sharing. We had edamame and salad for appetizers, again enough to share...

😐 Not the best not the worst, sushi is not the best dish, but is decent, prices kind high, very small size portions but miso is good ,,

👍👍 More stars are missing. I would give it 10 but google does not allow it. + Good location + Ample parking + Excellent service + Delicious food Unforgettable!

👍👍 Atsui is one of my favorite places in San José: I'm obsessed with their ramen. They're definitely the best ramen noodles and both I've had in San José... And I've tried all the ones I could find. The takoyaki are delicious and I regret not ordering these before. My girlfriend ordered the noodles wit...

👍👍 Love the quality of the ingredients. The fusion of Costa Rican cuisine and Japanese flavors is exceptional.

😠 I’m not sure exactly what happened here. This place used to have decent sushi, but these rolls were all rice with no substance. A few of the bites were decidedly fishy and the edamame was so overcooked that we couldn’t eat it at all (the picture doesn’t do justice just to how bad it was). I ordered...

🫤 The food is not what I expected and not authentic Japanese sushi by far. I ate the rools as i paid 12.500 but probablywill not try again. Service was okay. Loved the atmosphere.
