Restaurante Japonés Allala

We ate here as it was one of the best rated places in San Marcos. Overall the food scene here has been disappointing so thought we’d give it a try due to the positive reviews. The place is unclean. Table runners have not been washed, it’s dusty, with stray animals roaming around. A dead fly was hanging over the table where we’re about to eat. Food was terrible. Very rare that I can’t finish a meal but this rice was soggy, veggies were soggy and it had a bad after taste. It was also lukewarm. Would not recommend.

I loved having dinner here. Found the place by accident. Had their nut smoothie, dumplings and vegetable chow mein. They surprised me with a complimentary mini dessert trio which was so delicious. The rum and raisin ice cream was my favorite. They have 2nd hand clothing, sell nut "coffee" powder as well as essential oils and face creams. Soft jazz playing in the background. Such a lovely experience. The prices are also very affordable. Q100 for a starter, smoothie, main and dessert? What a treat!!

Fantastic find on San Marcos! We love any time of Asian food so we were so excited to find this gem! We ordered the chicken curry and the katsudon! Both dishes were delicious and felt homemade. We even got free desert after our meal! It was a nice treat to finish our meal.

So happy I came here! Food was delicious, and the ambiance was cozy on a very rainy evening. I had the curry and the miso soup and both were delicious. Appreciated the free dessert and the friendly service :)

really cute spot and the owner is insanely nice, adorable lady with great energy. the croquettes they offer before your meal are good and only 6 quetzales. i really don’t recommend the sushi here though, not only was the fish not great but the rice was really gummy and there was too much of it. not impressed but good environment

Insanely nice people, running a quaint little Japanese spot. Gyzos and miso soup both excellent. Got a coffee, also good. They even gave me dessert, which they said was included, but I had no idea. It's on a side alley, down hippie highway.

Excellent restaurant with a great menu, delicious food and amazing hospitality! Authentic Japanese food including sushi available in the menu. And the place is run by a sweet Japanese lady. Great quantity and excellent prices as well. Highly recommended if you’re anywhere around lake Atitlan.

Cash only. The rice can def be improved for an Asian restaurant, it tastes like it borderline congee. They sent us the wrong food 3 times and, the tonkatsu was decent tho not crispy, the fish we got was tasty.
