Well, All I can say is this food is delightful.
Fresh fish and perfect products.
You can feel this Nigiris are quite a thing. Service is nice, the people over here are really courteous.
The price of the nigiris start from $70 pesos which is about $4 USD to $300 pesos per nigiri. You can add different toppings such as caviar, Truffle and foie gras and that’s about $200 more.

I totally recommend this restaurant as you may not find something as fresh.

Ps. You May do a reservation or just be sure you get there on a really good time.

Pretty expensive but amazing sushi. Worth trying once but it’s not that worth it to go several times unless you’re a baller. (Paid $80+ USD for the sashimi, rice bowl, and nigiri)

Heard a lot of good things about this place but left with disappointment. Sashimi rice bowl tasted ok but looked cheap with tiny cubes of sashimi. Definitely overpriced. Won’t go back again.

Tbh a bit disappointed of this place.

We asked for an omakase experience (it was around 4K MXN per person) and the nigiris were meh.

Service wasn’t good and as you can see the nigiris weren’t properly prepared. They close early.

I was extremely surprised to see the high ratings for this restaurant. From the reviews, ambience and price, I had very high expectations for this restaurant.

To start on a positive note, the interior is very nice and looks like a high-end sushi restaurant. Very similar design to Kobayashi Gohan. The quality of the sushi is good and you can tell it is run by Japanese. The vinegar used in the rice was a perfect balance which is pretty rare for sushi served here.

I was greatly disappointed in the attitude of the staffs, the size of the sushi and the price. We (2 ppl) had a small portion of food and it was over c.USD100. The slices of fish on the sushi were the smallest pieces I have ever seen. On top of that, the staffs were all chatting and gossiping and their behavior did not match the ambience of the restaurant at all. If they are aiming to be a 'high-end' sushi restaurant they should train their staffs to be professional. We had to remind the guy twice on our order. They were busy chatting and took them forever to prepare each dish. There was only one other couple so it wasn't a busy day at all...

Under the same 'Edo Kobayashi' group of restaurants, I have been to Kobayashi Gohan several times. Kobayashi Gohan has incredible food and staffs. I was expecting a lot more from Sushi Iwashi knowing how incredible Kobayashi is but they failed miserably. Will never come back here and would not recommend it to anyone.

ネタの質は高いですが、ネタの大きさ、スタッフの対応、またそれらに全く相応しない価格帯がとても残念でした。同じEdo Kobashi傘下のKobayashi Gohanは大変おすすめです。

The rice is unlike any other, it is SO GOOD! All the nigiris were delicious. I asked for no soy sauce and the waiters offered me gluten free sauce (tamari) instead, to me that displays that the restaurant is allergy friendly, accommodating, and the waiters are knowledgeable to recognize why a customer may ask for things a certain way. I highly recommend this restaurant.

It’s expensive but worth it. The fish - especially the toro and chutoro is just divine. The Don was also great with all the varieties of fish. Service was nice enough, and really fast.
