Spice
at Excellence Playa Mujeres · Excellence Resorts - Playa Mujeres
Pan-Asian restaurant featuring dishes from Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand, with sushi bar and Teppanyaki stations for interactive dining experience.
✨ Insider tip: Highly raved by guests - many eat here twice during their stay. Teppanyaki experience is a favorite.
What to order
Spice is dual-format: walk-in à la carte for sushi, dim sum, and Thai/Japanese dishes, plus a separate teppanyaki (hibachi) room that requires a reservation. Get the teppanyaki reservation through concierge on day one if that's your goal — otherwise the main dining room is excellent and walk-in friendly with no wait. The sushi bar is the resort's best, and multiple guests eat here twice in a seven-night stay.
- Maki Combo (California Roll, Spicy Tuna, Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese)The sushi sampler to start — three rolls that give you the range of the bar; the California and Spicy Tuna are the crowd favorites.
- Spice Combination (Shumai, Spring Roll, Chicken Satay, Gyozas)The mixed appetizer plate — order it for the table as an opener while you decide on mains.
- Nigiri EbiTender and fresh shrimp nigiri; the nigiri selection is where the kitchen's sourcing quality shows most clearly.
- Teppanyaki DinnerBook ahead via concierge — the chef show at the hibachi grill is the most entertaining meal on property, worth planning around.
Teppanyaki requires advance reservation via concierge; standard à la carte dining is walk-in. Menu is notably Japanese-forward as of 2026 with select pan-Asian dishes.
