The staff was great, pretty patient and attentive. They took amazing care of our orders and never left dirty dishes around. The food is jut amazing, the ingredients were fresh and of great quality, so were as the drinks. Tokyo Lights. Refreshing drink with a strong cucumber flavor, the alcohol taste is very subtle so be careful having too many. Kawaii. Flavourful and refreshing, had to try it with vodka as they were lacking Gin atm.

Koori Visited 2024 Mar Jun Visited about 10 times A place I visited whenever I wanted Asian food during my long-term business trip to Mexico. A place where you can eat ramen, which Koreans like, near the hotel Especially here, you can meet someone who looks exactly like Gus Hiddink, the soccer coach that Koreans like the most!! Food: I always eat ramen. They grill pork belly and put it on the ramen. In particular, mushrooms are very delicious when they are stewed and eaten with plain noodles. There are also a lot of vegetables, so the texture is good. I am so grateful that I can find this level of quality in Mexico. Sushi is delicious, but the portions are too small. The nearby Japanese sushi restaurant definitely prepares sashimi more deliciously than Ojo Rojo. Atmosphere: It is not too crowded, but it is not that there are no people. It is a quiet and cozy place where you can have a good time with family, friends, and colleagues. Service: A place where you can expect general service. It's so delicious that there's a 100% chance of returning again. Koori Visited: March June 2024, approximately 10 visits A place I visited whenever I craved Asian food during my long business trip in Mexicali. It's a place near my hotel where I can enjoy ramen, a favorite among Koreans. Interestingly, there's a person here who looks exactly like Guus Hiddink, the most beloved soccer coach among Koreans! Food: I always eat ramen here. They serve ramen topped with grilled pork belly. The mushrooms are braised along the edges, making them incredibly tasty when eaten with the plain noodles. The dish is also packed with vegetables, giving it a nice texture. I'm very grateful to find such high-quality food in Mexico. The sushi is delicious, but the portions are quite small. To the nearby Japanese Compared sushi place, Ojo Rojo, they prepare sashimi much better. Atmosphere: It's neither too crowded nor too empty. It's a quiet and cozy place where you can spend quality time with family, friends, or colleagues. Service: You can expect standard service here. The food is so delicious that the likelihood of a return visit is 100%.

El mejor Ramen en Mexico. I came here just in case after seeing the Korean review below, and the ramen and mojito were super delicious. When I'm on a long business trip and want some hot soup, I think it's better than a mediocre Korean restaurant.
