Nick-San Award Winning Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar,
Downtown Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Nick San Japanese Restaurant

Perched on the edge of land that divides the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean is the culinary jewel of Cabo San Lucas, Nick San has been shedding a new light of the definition of sushi since its
opening, nine years ago.

Owners Angel and Nick have combined skills to mesh all that is sacred in Japanese cuisine with local Mexican elements at their finest.

The only thing fresher than a fish off the dock daily is fish that’s is hand-caught by the chef himself. Giving new meaning to the saying. “Location is everything”, Chef Angel has an advantage unlike most sushi chefs worldwide as he couples French and Japanese culinary expertise with fishing mastery, controlling all aspects of quality from the waters to the table.

French technique is reflected in truly unique signature sauces with the use of local spices and produce.

Though wasabi and ginger are always available, many dishes present variations on these flavor elements of heat and pungent using traditional Mexican forms such as minced habanero and red onion, fresh fruits and herbs.

You’ll see the local influence in the lobster roll, balanced with crunchy Lobster, Mango and Avocado. Large sea scallops are graced with lemon olive oil and thin slices of fried garlic.

Oysters are marinated in sweet sake ponzu. Anything from delicate cilanto citrus sauce to Serrano chilies and spicy oils perfectly punctuate yellowtail and toro.

Soft lighting, sleek white walls and a long hardwood bar create a calm, casual energy. One can come in from the beach or dress for a special occasion and feel comfortable.

The decor is subtle, even minimalist, allowing the spotlight of elegance to be on the plate. Warm service also contributes to the unpretentious vibe.The music is hardly noticed, stifled by the rumble of the dining room, full almost nightly.

For the purist, and printed menu offers choices to suit everyone from the amateur to the aficionado.

Here we are at the newest Nick-San Japanese Restaurant located in Las Tiendas de Palmilla. My companion spent a year living in Japan and also took cooking lessons; she is the perfect choice to join me in reviewing this fabulous establishment. Read The complete review

You will find classic Japanese dishes such as teriyaki, tempura and curries, many varieties of kushiyaki, Japanese barbecue, including vegetarian options of all categories. But the true adventure lies beyond the boundaries of the basics.

Dare to place the destiny of your dining experience in the hands of the Chef Angel and prepare to be blown away. Daily creations vary.

The wine list definitely covers essencial ground, but focuses on a variety of specialty sake; hot,
cold and unfiltered.

There is also a full bar, with a varied selection of martinis, at which you may experience a wait, well worth it. Sit near the door and catch an earful of praise as the chef greets new and long time guest on their way out, pleasantly stunned.
