Solid Japanese casual spot. I had a really great miso soup and some simple tuna sushi. Would be great if they also had some ponzu sauce and more items on menu that didn’t have cream cheese. I am so over the cream cheese trend in sushi. It’s so basic and stupid.
Attention tourists!!!! You can choose an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT option! But I'm not quite sure if there's it on the English menu, so don't miss that out. Botekim is far from traditional Japanese food, it definitely has some very Brazilian "improvements", but you know what? It's really honest and tasty food. It's not cheap, but neither it's expensive, for the amount of food you can eat and the quality of it, it worth the money. I wouldn't say it's like going to McDonald's, but somehow it's like a Japanese junkie food, in a good way, that you feel satisfied after eating it, but with some kind of guilt on feeling pleasure with it.
Quite good sushi. Some of the fried rolls were particularly good. I would recommend it.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
