Kogure Tulum Japanese Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Stayed at the hotel, not really there fault that the beach sucks because of the sargassum but this restaurant is really good, weather it’s by the Japanese chef or by his sous-chef, the sushi and tempura is one of the best I’ve had.
Ja pense food with a beachfront view Very romantic, rustic and fun, sake of the house is tasty, love the rolls, the ramen, the spicy edemame and ofc The matcha ice cream One of our fav restaurants in tulum
Absolutely fantastic Japanese cuisine. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and my partner had the Tuna Poke Bowl. Both were very well made and delicious, tho the ramen noodles were not quite at the same level as the broth. We plan to go back for lunch as this is easily one of the best places we have eaten in Tulum and probably some of the best food we have had on the beaches. Edit: Went back for lunch and had the Toro, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Soft Shell Crab Roll. Absolutely amazing. Definitely the best food we have had in Tulum! Service was good, my only concern was that when we paid with a card they took it out of my sight, which made me very uncomfortable. Probably would rate a 4.5 stars for that if I could. I would suggest that people pay with cash or that the business get a portable card reader like almost every other restaurant in the area.
As a self proclaimed nigiri connoisseur, this is an absolutely gem & highly underrated. The quality of fish was comparable to KUU Tulum (which is around 2800 pesos per person for a 14 course omakase). Here, we paid a bit over 600 pesos for 12 omakase nigiris: the quality was the exact same as that of KUU. We ended up ordering another course of 12 omakase nigiris, still being half the price of KUU for double the amount. The fish is fresh, perfectly cut. The quality is amazing. If you understand quality nigiri and aren’t there to eat an all you can eat sushi roll, you will have a great experience. The head Chef is from Japan. Incredibly friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back upon returning to Tulum
Delicious!! I was very sceptical after I’ve read recent reviews but the taste of my ramen and nigiri toro was just amazing. It tastes as excellent as in Nobu in New York or best Japanese restaurants in London.
The spicy edamame and the ramen were really tasty. Its ellaborated sauce doesn't lose to any big city's ramen. That's for sure going to my top 10 ramens in the world. Make sure to get a table early, so the service is not gonna take too long like i saw in some reviews.
It has been over 3 years since last I wrote a review for any restaurant, and not because of COVID-19, please read on... I've been touring Riviera Maya for the last 10 days and as a foodie my traveling experience is usually measured by the food I eat. Eating at chef Yosuke Kogure's Kogure meant experiencing joy like I seldom experience nowadays when going to a restaurant, it is the proverbial return of flavor as has not existed for years. Domo arigatou Kogure-san!
Amazing Japanese food right on the beach. It’s run by a Japanese guy and the sushi is to die for. Recommend soft shell crab sushi roll and mixed tempura. Nigiri plates also great. Amazing cocktails to boot. Music is rubbish - horrific pounding techno.
