    Some of the best sushi we have ever had. Been all over Cabo and Hawaii and love Nick San. The service was fantastic and absolutely the best fish we have tasted. Melt in your mouth quality and great flavor

    We love Nick -San! Love it! But it cost $700 for 5 people to eat there. Best food and everything but I don’t know if it’s worth $150 pp.

    Our third time in Cabo and our third time at NikSan. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and it makes me sad that I need to plan a trip out of the country to enjoy it next!

    Amazing food Our server Juan was incredible! I wanted a sushi roll with crunch & Juan recommended an item off menu & boy it didn’t disappoint. The espresso martini was super frothy & perfect. We always make sure to visit Nic San while in Cabo!

    Never disappoints; probably our 8th visit over many years. Best sushi I’ve ever had, including many trips to Japan. After giving our waiter a short list of things we don’t like, we let him curate the meal omakase style which I highly recommend. Combination of layered flavors and textures is a real treat.

    We truly appreciate your continued support over the years! It’s an honor to be part of your dining experiences, and we’re delighted to hear that our sushi continues to impress. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!

    We decided to try Nick San for the third time. The first time we had a surly waiter who was indifferent to us and didn't care. Last year we had the same surly waiter, but he decided to be a bit more friendly. Visit #3 - back to the original surly guy. He was laughing and joking with the table behind us, but tried to overcharge the table on the other side. Sushi was pretty good, but not worth the cost and rudeness of the staff. No need to ever go back and would recommend people find somewhere else to go. Overrated.
