    I’ve had Omakase in many parts of the world. This was an extraordinary experience on par with some of the best authentic Japanese. Diego is truly an artist not just a chef. Incredible and extraordinary flavors.

    An overall amazing experience. I’ve had the good fortune to enjoy many fine restaurants in my 57 years and Kuu was the breakout best. Everthing, quality of meal, presentation, ambiance, atmosphere, was perfect. Just magical. JMR

    Had some great pieces of sushi during the 14 course Omakase. Service was excellent and our chef was a super nice guy. Price was well worth the spend. I would go back. If you are staying around Tulum resorts make the trip, if you are a little bit further out this might be a bit further than making the trip out unless you are going out or in the area.
