Taikun
The Yellowtail Jalapeño: Fresh yellowtail topped with jalapeños, Valencia orange and a lemongrass ponzu. Note that the fresh jalapeños make this one particularly spicy so be wary.
The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman’s authentic Japanese restaurant, Taikun, is the best place to go if you are looking for a high-end sushi experience. You can expect exceptional service, innovative cocktails, fresh sushi and delicious Japanese-inspired dishes from this luxury hotel brand. Diners have a few options to choose from when ordering from their dinner menu: a la carte, three course prix-fixe or omakase (the latter being the chef’s selection if you are feeling adventurous!)
