About the restaurant

Funky Geisha Cancún blends Japanese and Thai cooking in Bohemian Square, by Nichupté Lagoon. The arrival winds through mangroves before opening onto a deck above the water, with a mystical setting that becomes livelier after dark. Expect sushi, nigiri, curries, maki and noodles, plus cocktails built around Asian ingredients and vegan options. It works well for date nights, birthdays, groups and celebrations looking for Asian food, a DJ-led atmosphere and live entertainment.

Beautiful restaurant and great service! The manager greeted us and our server was very proactive with us. The food was tasty but we did wait awhile for each course which was strange because the restaurant wasn’t that busy on a Wednesday night. The whole aesthetic and design of the restaurant was amazing.

Amazing as always! This is a must when in Cancun! Our group dined there twice! I highly recommend the Wagyu Meatballs for an appetizer. The Tableside Fettuccine Alfredo is amazing, I recommend adding their crispy chicken breast to it. The gnocchi ragu is also a must. Make your reservation you won't be disappointed.
