Chikatana, nestled in the vibrant heart of San Miguel de Allende, is quickly becoming a standout destination for lovers of Asian cuisine. Customers rave about the authentic flavors and generous portions that this hidden gem offers. Felecia Ford highlights the exceptional Japanese fried rice, Chahan, calling it the best she's ever had, while Elizabeth Hyatt praises the authentic Korean dishes, particularly the bi bim bap, which she describes as “superb.”

The restaurant’s ambiance is equally enchanting. Set in a charming courtyard adorned with art galleries, it's an ideal spot for outdoor dining. Graham Short notes the “cute and nicely decorated” space, perfect for a relaxed meal, while John Buginas commends the romantic atmosphere, especially at night.

The menu at Chikatana is impressively diverse, featuring a mix of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Indian influences. Maria Sotirhos recommends trying the miso ramen with a soy sauce-infused boiled egg for an unforgettable experience. With good service and reasonable prices, Chikatana blends quality cuisine with inviting surroundings, making it a delightful culinary adventure in Mexico.

The best Japanese fried rice dish- Chahan! I can’t believe how good everything is here. Yummmmmm Great chai when they have it!

This place is fantastic! We have tried 4 or 5 Korean restaurants on our travels around Mexico, and Chikatana is hands down the best. It’s perfectly authentic, nothing too sweet or out of place. Being from San Francisco, we know good Korean food, and this is it! We had the bimibap, the spicy green beans, and the kaarage chicken. All were delicious, but the bimibap was truly superb. Cheers to Chikatana for pulling this off in Mexico!

Tucked away in the back of the courtyard is this Asian gem. The portions were huge and everyone’s dish was good. The outside space is cute and nicely decorated. The prices are reasonable and I would recommend a visit here.

A great new setting for good Asian cuisine in San Miguel. We had the miso ramen (make sure to add a soy sauce-infused boiled egg) and the bi bim bap with beef bulgogi. Both excellent! Lots of outdoor dining space with art galleries and other shops in this great new location.

Great menu, excellent preparation. A broad Asian menu, predominantly Japanese. Styles include Chinese, Indian, and Korean. Located on an small indoor artisan's outdoor mall on Calzada de Aurora, conveniently close to the Fabrica Aurora. There are stores with jewelertly, paintings, sculptures, and even artisan guitars. The restaurant has nice outdoor seating that's quite romantic at night. service is good

The best Asian food I've had in San Miguel! Their curry and delicious General Tso's Tofu had generous portions and amazing flavor. The courtyard seating is relaxed and beautiful. This place is a gem

Always the best casual Asian spot in San Miguel! My favorites have changed over the years on their menu but you can never go wrong with the katsu curry, Korean dishes and some chinese classics reborn.

Tasty Asian fusion restaurant inside Mercado del Carmen. We love to go on Tuesdays for the 2for1 ramen, but I always end up ordering the Kamikaze Fries. My wife really enjoys the bibimbap dish as well.
