Kakurega Omakase

Amazing experience at Kakurega, every time we go is better than the last time.They blend Japanese cuisine with Mexican ingredients and create an exquisite culinary fusion. The atmosphere is very cool, we always end having drinks with other customers and meeting wonderful people.

Standouts: mushroom sea snail situation, fried shrimp rice cake taco tostada, fried pork belly, and cold udon noodles with tempura veggies. Great location, great sake. Negatives. Wish the sushi chef came over to say hi - there were four of us at the bar in total.; can’t imagine a simple introduction and a question on how it’s going would hurt? For the price of this meal and the same in nyc for omakase, it seems reasonable. The staff was phenomenal but for a total of four people at the bar, you’d hope for at least an introduction and a question - he was clearly bothered the four of us made the reservation on a quiet night… he did have cool cargo shorts on though. Maybe just got off a surf a few min prior? I was hoping that by the end of the night, the cargo pockets were where the service from him, personally, was hiding. He sadly left without as much as a nod. He’s as much as of an omakase chef as Aoki was a Japanese chef when he opened Benihana.

We went there for dinner The staff was very friendly and attentive We met the owner too and had a nice conversation with him The food was excellent everything had a nice flavor to it The alcohol pairing with every dish was on point A must try experience! We would like the thank the whole team once again for the lovely night!

The best experience ! Had an amazing dinner there, the food and the team are absolutely divine. It brings something exciting to the area in the finest mix between Japan and Mexico. I definitely recommend this Omakase, I loved it so much that I went twice.

We love adventuring in food! The restaurant itself is unique and a lovely elevated open air concept with large beams, traditional japanese stone footings and thatched roof. Its really cool if you're into architecture. Eight of us had a delicious dining experience. Each bite was like tiny explosions of flavors in your mouth. They source as much in season local ingredients as possible. Chef creates the unique 8 course menu. Each dish arrives at the same time for each quest on beatiful raku dishes hand made in Oaxaca. The drive through farm land, along the large lagoon was a nice sight. We drove down a fairly long flat dirt road, a gated community of exclusive hotels and homes nestled into a natural terrain along the beach. Staff were friendly and greeted us kindly and on top of their game. Sushi Master was friendly and spoke with us quite a bit. We asked alot of questions about everything. Open air means YOU must be prepared for the elements, including an occasional bug. The reservation was a small challenge but we were persistent and managed. It was worth every penny and every bite. If you're looking for a typical sushi restaurant then this isn't your place. Viva!

Terrible experience. In a set up like this, 12 people in front of the chef and his team, you should greet and engage with the customers. Tell them about the dishes you will serve, the experience, etc…instead the restaurant operates like a McDonald’s, you sit, you eat and then please leave fast as the next group is coming. Food is average at best, nothing remarkable Music/ atmosphere - makes no sense, you are sitting in a palapa like setting in front of a Japanese chef listening to 90s grunge music followed by daft punk? Finally, we wanted to order a bottle of white wine, but they didn’t have any, not a single bottle and there was still a group after us to have dinner In general there is no real focus on the customer or the details to make this a remarkable experience. Feels more sitting in front of an assembly line of a tractor factory Don’t make the same mistake we did, just have dinner at any of the other hotels in the areas where the food is significantly better and the staff is actually really nice and knowledgeable

I visited Kakurega Omakase last October. Didn’t know I could write a review being this magical spot in such a remote place. But here I go. This is one of those really special culinary experiences worth sharing. If visiting Puerto Escondido, this place is a MUST! Enjoying the sunset while watching the owner and staff create incredibly delicate and exquisite dishes is quite spectacular. The setting is poetry itself. The simple yet sophisticated atmosphere will captivate you from the moment you start climbing the stairs to the main area. You will agree this place exceeds any expectations. Thank you Yellow Monkey, will definitely visit again when in Oaxaca! 😉💯

This restaurant requires you to pre-pay. I am fine with that, and made a reservation several days out. Immediately after booking (seconds after), I realized it actually wasn’t going to work for our itinerary, and so requested to cancel. The restaurant is refusing to refund us. I would understand if I had booked only a couple days before, or had had the booking for a while (hours/days?) .. but that was not the case! I can see from other reviewers that this is a common occurrence with this place. Not the warm hospitality one would hope for while on vacation
