- Dooriban = Corner Korean Spot in Popular Roma Norte. Started by five enterprising Korean & Mexican women, Dooriban serves up outstanding kimchi, bibimbap, & fried rice with Mexican chiles…to name a few items. They’re located two blocks south of Plaza Rio de Janeiro, on Avenida Tabasco, in Roma Norte. Hours: 2PM-10PM. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays.
- Hiyoko = Traditional Japanese Fused with Mexican. Located two blocks from major landmark El Angel de la Indepencia, in the Cuauhtemoc neighborhood: you’ll find sushi, yakitori, & ramen here ~ along with locally-sourced produce. They’ve become so popular that they’ve opened 20 more restaurants all over Mexico! Hours: 12:30PM-11PM. Closed Sundays.
- Kasina Cafe = South Korean Soul Food in Roma Norte. Roma Norte is a popular neighborhood! Especially for good food. Minae Seo created the menu here, serving dishes she cooked with her mother ~ like buchu jeon (chive pancakes with shrimp), & kkorijjim (braised oxtail with rice & kimchi). They’re located right by Chapultepec Park, near the Four Seasons Mexico City…where Taylor Swift stays when she’s in town! Hours: 1PM-10PM. Closed Mondays.

- Nobu Mexico City = Upscale Asian in Mexico City’s Polanco District. Polanco is the “Beverly Hills” of Mexico City: so it makes sense that Nobu is here. This world-wide brand caters to the rich & famous ~ with good reason. Try their Alaskan King Crab tacos, or Yellowtail with Caviar…& wear your best clothes! Hours: 1PM-11PM.
- Via Sol = Chinese Tapas Bar in Escandon Neighborhood. Iris Yu is the mastermind here, born & raised in South China.
