About the restaurant

An Asian paradise on the Nichupé Lagoon. Delight yourself with exquisite and authentic cuisines; Thai by our Chef Sawai Suwannachat and Indian by our chef Kishan Singh. Heighten your senses in a jungle hut or in a bungalow over the lagoon, accompanied by our signature cocktails. Feel the magical atmosphere guided by our house DJ Gabriel Guzman.
Dear client, for us your upcoming experience in our restaurant is very important, for that reason we inform you that our Thai & Elefanta Restaurants are in same location, however, for reasons of Plaza la Isla remodelations, we will have a deviation in the access to our entrance, this deviation is through Fashion Harbour, in the hall between the Rolex and Dolce & Gabana stores, you will arrive at Ryoshi's entrance and turning to the right you can find us, if you arrive by the parking lot that is by Palacio de Hierro, just follow the hall that is in front of Ryoshi restaurant and at the end we will be waiting for you.

The place is very elegant. The food is ok but overpriced. I wanted to order a glass of sparkling wine and there was only one choice at $900 pesos per glass. If I wanted to buy the bottle it was in the range of $4000 to $10,000 pesos. This was during low season (end of September 2024). It can only imagine how expensive would be during high season. I won’t come back.

Definitely a must stop if staying at Mayakoba. We had a late dinner reservation and then stayed awhile after and enjoyed the music and overall scene. Great food, even better drinks, music and vibe
