Rick JamesMay 26, 2013Amazing place. The food is great, so unique and creative. The drinks have equally as much imagination and are just as good. To top it all off the service is as good as you will find.
Elvis RodricksAugust 10, 2013Fun ambience... Tried the sushi and tempura taco- were great! Bith had have a jap n mex fusion.. A lil pricey tho for the other items but worth trying.
Alberto LeonNovember 30, 2013A great blend of oriental meets Mexican food! Listening to some salsa music while watching Cantinflas on TV is priceless! Try the steak tacos!
Benjamin PalmerSeptember 30, 2011Japanese tacos are tasty, try the Carnitas. Wish they were smaller for more sampling, 2x the expected portion so plan accordingly. Overall its a bit more fun than foodie but thats cool
Julissa ArceJanuary 25, 2012The margarita is delicious, and so is the Shrimp Tempura Tacos and the Roll that is made with sirloin steak. Loved it! The staff is nice and good- looking.
Chris SmithNovember 29, 2012Sushi by the plate travels around a conveyor belt through the restaurant. It's color-coded by price. They have great service & a nice atmosphere.
The Wall Street JournalApril 6, 2012Indecisive, adventurous eaters no longer have to choose between Mexican and Japanese meals. This SoHo eatery boasts Japanese tacos and Mexican sushi. Read more
Krissy GSeptember 16, 2012The tuna tostada & fried rice rolls were so yummy! And the staff were very friendly & polite! :)
MarkMay 14, 2012Instant sushi appetizers and delicious meals (like rib eye tacos and chicken skewers, both amazing) make this place awesome.

Aura the ExploraFebruary 18, 2012If you're starving and the kitchen is taking too long just grab a roll off of the conveyer belt! #17 is so good
tommy jeffersonSeptember 24, 2013It's worth it for the conveyor belt alone. Number 11 - rice and chives is amazing. 13 too ^.^
Lillian LindenDecember 29, 2013The rib-eye teppanyaki taco is the BOMB. You need to put it in your mouth hole. Now.

Laura CarusoNovember 14, 2014The food was delicious. We had the fried rice crispy and the sake sangria.
Adrienne ReinaFebruary 19, 2012Order the Mexican Miso soup, Asugyu (ribeye with asparagus) and Don Cangrejo (softshell crab) tacos--you won't be sorry!

EstherFebruary 25, 2012Great idea of restaurant, but I'm not going to repeat. $33 for 1burrito+1sushi+coke?! One of the few places that include Gratuity in their checks. No nice

Scott JamesApril 23, 2012The sea bass tacos melt in your mouth. Try dipping them in the cucumber sauce- Nick FodenFebruary 16, 2012Yum! Pricey, but delicious! Shrimp tacos are bomb! Also the conveyor belt #'s 3,6,8,14 all really good!
- Rachel NashApril 1, 2013Shabu shabu was delicious! Sushi was just so-so, only resort to that as a quick appetizer if you're starving.

Samantha TurnerOctober 19, 2011Verde salad and sea bass tacos are really good. Plus, they play manu chau
Annie CosmosMay 13, 2014The place is a good place, the sushi tacos are good but don't expect Japanese food there. The prices are expensive btw.
Michael HarrisonOctober 13, 2013Nice idea. Doesn't taste very good though. Sea bass tacos were very bland. Banana and cream cheese sticker was fairly good.
