Juni-ko - Zapopan

This was definitely a great experience. We ordered the nigiri omakase and it was delicious. They first serve you a salad while you wait for the nigiris. The service was great and everyone was really attentive. It was a nice touch that they let you...pick out your sake cups. The nigiri themselves were all delicious. Only one had a garnish, which just shows the quality of the fish. We tried a variety of white dish which were all delicious, along with the many parts of the tuna we had. We tried two different salmons, which was really nice to compare side by side. I preferred the Scottish salmon. The meal ends with a nice miso soup. Highly recommend visiting. I also advice making a reservation in advance.

As a chef and restaurant owner, I am very hesitant to eat sushi in Guadalajara since all of the sushi contains cream cheese. Really?? This is NOT the case at Juni-ko. WOW! The quality of the fish blew me away and the chef who prepared...our meal was outstanding. Staffed by super attentive guys. It is so strange to have such an outstanding sushi restaurant here in Guadalajara, but I am so happy I have finally found them!

Juniko is expensive but without a doubt the best sushi in town, it compares with Yasuda sushi in New York. On weekends you find fresh fish from Japan and the Mediterranean, as well as from Ensenada. There are seatings and you only get tastings menus, all excellent.

I am a Japanese food fan for ever, and I have try it everywhere I travel. And I can assure you Juni-ko is one of the best I have every try, including Japan. Located in Andares, this small restaurant has a huge character and chef...you can find. Every single step of the Omakase is perfectly planned and presented by Dai-san and his staff. Service is impecable, and the food quality and preparation is top of the top. I look forward in being back in my April visit indeed!

This has become one of my favorites (if not ‘the’ favorite). Small place for seats. Real Japanese food. The ‘Kama Toro’ (fatty neck tuna) is superb. Try the eel nigiris with foie gras and truffle oil and grated truffle. All of the fish is...of outstanding flavor and freshness. There are specials some days and you can find Petrossian caviar and Wagyu beef for nigiris. The executive chef Daisuke Maeda knows he has a very piece of Japan here in Guadalajara. I recommend to do reservation because the place is small. Open cuisine for lunch and ‘omakase’ for dinner.
