Unlike another supposed Japanese restaurant across the road, Suntory isn’t at all bad. The décor is ‘Japanese’ and well maintained, the garden is pretty, you can choose between inside or outside but if you want the tepenyaki I think you need to be inside. The air conditioning is a blessing. You will however come out of the place smelling of frying.
It is without doubt the best Japanese establishment in town and with prices that preclude riff raff you can be sure of a very civilized lunch or dinner in the company of local worthies.
Their scallops are good and the tepenyaki is too. Sushi is fresh and there is a comprehensive selection.
I like cold saki and they have more than one choice. They don’t stock Japanese beer to which I am also partial, but Sol is an acceptable substitute.
If you have eaten well in Japan, you will soon be aware that it doesn’t hold a candle to reputable restaurants there, but on the whole it is very acceptable if a little bland…
Should you have a craving for Japanese food after all that fish ‘a la talla’ or are sick of enchiladas, it makes a welcome change. But a mega Japanese gastronomic experience, it is not.
The web page for the Acapulco is, as I write, totally inadequate… the only information is the map which will get you there (many Mexican maps don’t).
