“ Gin Chan was a pleasant surprise in the best way. Luckily, I noticed it as I was driving by. It’s a small space sitting on the corner with decent bar seating and small tables scattered in and out. I had the Omakase, their seven course tasting menu with sake. All the dishes were excellent. I especially enjoyed the tamagoyaki. Very good service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend! That’s all for now. ”
“ It’s a very restaurant but within a big heart , the freshness of the sashimi is a plus and the style is more towards fusion Japanese style but with good combination . I like the sashimi mix and all the preparation is done before the order and in front of us . It’s a nice environment to dine around . The price is good compare to it’s freshness. ”
“ Had an amazing experience here! The food was spectacular—we sat at the bar in front of the chef, and his recommendations were spot on. The service was fantastic; everyone was incredibly friendly, and the food quality was outstanding. This is one of those places you truly enjoy, not just for the amazing food but for the whole experience. Highly recommended ”
“ Most likely the only truly authentic sushi spot in Mexico City. We're pretty picky when it comes to sushi—so if you're into fusion rolls loaded with cream cheese, fried toppings, teriyaki sauce, and baked salmon marinated in spicy mayo type of stuff, this absolutely isn't your place. Here, it's all about traditional nigiri and sashimi. The quality of both the rice and fish was excellent—almost like what you'd get at a Japanese market. Highly recommend if you're looking to take a break from tacos. We'll definitely be back next time we're in CDMX. ”
