Kotaro - 77500 Cancún

Garlic ramen was really bad but the udon beef was amazing ! Even tho the orders were not complete , garlic ramen was missing ingredients and udon didn’t had udon ... Ambience: 10/10 Food: 5/10 (depends what you get it’s like a Russian roulette , it could be amazing or horrible) Waiting for food: 3/10

The female waitresses were very friendly and helpful. One even spoke English and did her best to try to accommodate my food allergies. The baos are well priced but unfortunately the bread has milk, so I could not eat it. My partner said that the Bao bread was spongy, the sauce was tasty but the pork belly had too much fat. It was great that the order included 2 baos. The cocktail named "Same" that I tried was in a beautiful fish ceramic cup with beautiful charred wood, orange, and mint leaves. It tasted yummy and was well priced. Beautiful and ambient decor. There was one man working there who was not wearing a uniform like all the other staff. I'm not sure if he was the manager, but he never smiled (even though we always smiled) and his presence felt very uncomfortable, so I'm not sure if I want to return here. I think that providing hospitable, warm and friendly service from restaurants is one of the most important aspects about the entire experience and will determine if customers want to return.

Super tasty food! Everything was excellent and the service was great!

Food is good, design is perfect. As the restaurant owner, my advice to the owner would be to check their staff for theft. No cards accepted (the terminal does not have signal and they say my cards are the reason - whereas these are from Mexican banks). Plus, advice to staff: when you have lady with baby stroller, you have to (at least) open the door, not stay with team of 3 and look.

Very good rice bowl for 150 pesos. Chicken and egg with a good gravy sauce. Follow the red neon noodle bowl to find the entrance.

I ate a bowl of tonkotsu ramen tonight at Kotaro and will say that it was, without a doubt, the worst bowl of ramen I've ever had anywhere. While it looked good when it arrived, that is about the best I can say about it. Thin and oily bland soup/broth. Very little flavour at all to it. The noodles tasted like cheap instant ramen noodles. The pork was dried out and burnt to the point of being hard and crunchy. Couldn't even eat most of the meat bits and those I could were just greasy. Save your time, money, and appetite. Go somewhere else for your meal.

Design and music, strictly 1983 that day are tops. But the food was disappointing. I have to say. I am not an expert on Ramen, thou. Prices are reasonable, toilets without water.

Small and good menu. The real stars of the show are the Bao-tacos. I tried the curry and veggie ones, they are both great. If you come on a weekend, make sure to make a reservation.
