“You'd never guess”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

This place is a couple hundred meters from my favorite surf camp. Extremely fresh sushi, and a great laid back environment. Great owners.

“Nobu quality without the price tag!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

We were craving sushi and decided to go on a recommendation from a visitor at our hotel in Mal Pais. Our private driver took us all the way and they were closed ... (Wed-Sun) we ended up going the next night and I just have to say it was well worth the wait - so fresh, and absolutely delicious, creative rolls - the Koji was my favorite. I love Nobu for the quality of the fish, this place is just as amazing and without the pretentious vibe.
Be sure to make a reservation, they get super busy.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We had dinner here on my 2nd last night and it was incredible. The koji rolls and spicy tuna are a MUST! I will be back here again no doubt, when I return to Santa Teresa in June.
