Aquí se come delicioso, ha sido el sushi de salmón empanizado más delicioso que he probado y el clericot también lo preparan bastante bien. El servicio es amable, no hay que esperar a que te asignen mesa y el ambiente es tranquilo con buena música. Sin duda es una excelente parada antes o después del cine o de visitar el sitio arqueológico de Cuicuilco.

No agrego fotos porque sería repetitivo. El chef que nos toco estaba muy apurado y el yakemeshi estuvo poco sazonado. Antes tenían algunas mantequilla con diferentes hierbas y ahora solo es mantequilla. Solían flamear las cebollas y ahora tampoco. Creo que hay un decline en lo fue antes y es ahora, lo increíble es que precio sube
