More than a restaurant, Nicksan is a culinary experience of the highest level. In its open kitchen, the ingredients of two ancestral cultures located on opposite sides of the world are fused.

Its owners Masayuki Niikura and Ángel Carbajal, originally from Japan and Mexico respectively, opened the first Nicksan restaurant in Los Cabos in 1994, creating amazing congruencies between the flavors of both countries.

Some of the signature dishes that you can taste at our fabulous Residences Plaza location in Nuevo Vallarta are the spicy tuna cake, the salmon skin cone, the Shiromi Coriander and Maguro Lemon sushi rolls, the cucumber salad with wakame seaweed and crab, the gorgonzola shrimp and the serranito beef fillet.

Within our new cocktail and sake menu you will find unique creations, perfect to match your lunch, dinner or just to toast with friends in an environment full of elegance and flavor. Come and try the best of two worlds!

    Nicksan: A Sushi Oasis in the Heart of Mexico Nicksan is more than just a sushi restaurant—it’s an experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in a dreamlike setting where soft lights flicker through the trees, casting a golden glow over the space. The seating is scattered along a winding path, resembling lilypads floating on a koi pond, creating an atmosphere that feels both serene and magical. The menu is a masterful fusion of Japanese technique and bold Mexican flavors. Each dish showcases impeccable freshness and creativity. Beyond the food, the service is warm and welcoming, adding to the restaurant’s charm. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, Nicksan is an absolute must-visit. It’s a place where culinary artistry meets breathtaking ambiance, leaving you with an unforgettable taste of Japan in the heart of Mexico.

    Service lacks efficiency and food lacks consistency . Was second time back in a week and was a completely different experience. And they don’t seem interested in your feedback
