"This is just one of eight in the line-up ofEdo-Kobayashi restaurants, the group that infused Mexico City with Japanese culinary vibes, so much so that its cluster of restaurants in Cuauhtémoc often gets dubbed Little Tokyo. Rokai was the first, and it retains much of its original, electric charm, with a tiny sushi bar and just a few tables. The plateware is delicate, the sake list is ambitious, and the pristine seafood from Mexican waters and abroad are served in simple, classic Japanese izakaya preparations. There is nowhere else to get this quality of seafood, this affordably. Make a reservation or swing by on an off-hour.Río Ebro 87, Cuauhtémoc." - ByScarlett Lindeman
