Best restaurant in Sayulita!
I went here for my last meal in Sayulita after a 3 week visit! It was by far the best meal I enjoyed throughout my experience! It wasn't just the best Sushi in Sayulita, but probably the best Sushi I've ever had! My buddy & I sat at the bar & had a great time getting to know the Chef! We enjoyed an incredible culinary experience with delicious, fresh food as well as great service! If you want the best restaurant in Sayulita, this is the place! Build your appetite just a couple doors down with a round of pickleball at an amazingly maintained & well run facility! I love this place! There are a lot of great things to do here....but the pickleball & this Sushi restaurant were my favorites!

we ordered sushi from the Menu and Jhon who is from Columbia, hence the spelling of John, explained each dish so we can be able to pick the right choice of sushi fromNigiri to Temaki to Shashimi. everything tasted unique from all the sushi places we had eaten from. The Umami taste is exceptional. we ate very quickly as the food is just so yummy. It was great to experinece this restaurant.

Unforgettable!
Henshin delivers a premium omakase that feels more Tokyo than tourist town. Seven courses, zero filler. Caviar-crowned Wagyu, butter-laced Canadian salmon, and truffle-kissed hamachi hit like poetry. It’s bold, elegant, and backed by top-tier service. If you’re chasing something unforgettable, this is the spot.

Must try!
Very reluctant to go, I mean you don't go to of all places in Sayulita for Sushi, however since my partner makes all the decisions I was made to go. Rare is it that I've been wrong. We both have a love affair with sushi and this is by far one of the best sushi restaurants we've eaten at, and yes of all place Sayulita. The passion is in the experience, visually and savoriness. Don't be shy with your wallet, expect to pay a premium $$$. But money doesn't and shouldnt matter if you're out therr to please your spouse, right! Don't take my word for it you'll just have to stroll in and try it for yourself. They up it an notch and likely won't compare with your favorite spot at home, we all have one of those. When in Rome!

AMAZING!
Chef Daniel and his team are amazing. This is truly the best sushi I have had outside of Japan, and as good as most there too. Plus, they accommodated my soy allergy which is practically unheard of for Asian restaurants. I can’t thank them enough for this dining experience!
