Omakai Sushi

"Many of the sushi restaurants in Cabo lean heavily on Mexican flavors, but Omakai stands out for its traditional Japanese cuisine. The huge menu makes use of the region’s high-quality seafood, especially fatty tunas, with three different options on how to order: a la carte, teppanyaki, and omakase. And even though we love the salmon special roll with truffle butter from the a la carte menu, the omakase is the move." - Nili Blanck

"Located near the heart of San Jose del Cabo, Omakai sports a serene Mexican minimalist design while putting Japanese cuisine front and center. There are three menus to choose from, but whether you choose the teppanyaki tasting menu, the omakase, or select from the a la carte offerings, you can't go wrong. Those who opt for the omakase will find good quality, with many of the fish sourced from the local waters of La Paz and Ensenada. House-made pork belly gyoza are executed flawlessly, while the nigiri leans traditional at first, becoming more complex as the meal progresses. Seared salmon topped with a truffle sauce is decadently delicious. The meal concludes with a charming vanilla ice cream on squares of coffee jelly." - Michelin Inspector
