This was just one of the most absolutely wonderful culinary experiences that I’ve ever had! You need to arrive early since there’s limited seating, they font take reservations, but the wait (whatever it may be) it’s 1000% worth it. The menu is varied, great drink choices (which I chose the Hikari White Plum Wine and was absolutely perfect for the food!) for appetizers we had the Kani Koroke and I can certainly say that I would eat 20 of them happily, it’s the best “crab cake” you could dream of, and I feel horrible about calling it that way, because it’s way more than that! For the Maki we had the Rincon, Bakku, Miyu and Melted and WOW!! The fish is extremely fresh, the taste is unbelievable and so unique at the same time! Also, we ordered the Wagyu A5 Nigiri and it fully melted in our mouths! For sure we weren’t able to leave without having dessert, and the Origami Doughnuts were perfect! I can’t express how amazing and wonderful Bakku is and will 10000000% be coming back again to try more of their menu!

Hands down the BEST service my husband and I have ever had at any restaurant — ever. The staff made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was insanely good — everything was super fresh, the flavors were so balanced, and every dish we ordered was perfect. Also, the cocktails were amazing!!!
This is officially one of our new favorite spots in Rincón.
We will 100% be back.
Highly recommend!

Visiting Puerto Rico on our honeymoon, our destination dinner was Bakku. Not only did they surpass all of our food expectations, but the service was absolutely unmatched. Our server, luiz(sorry if we spelled it wrong) was an absolute superstar. The recommendations, the kindness, the joy he brought to our special day was unlike anything we have experienced In our travels. If you visit this island and do not visit this fantastic establishment, you will forever regret it.

The overall ambiamce and energy of the space were lovely. All the staff who attended me, excepting my main waitress , were lovely. I am also proud of any place in Puerto Rico who impresses tourists with the understanding there is class and creativity on the island…for that- bravo!
As far as the sushi, the menu is more suited for people who are not accustomed to sushi or who enjoy masking the flavour of fresh fish. The kitchen is well-trained and talented, and the quality of the fish was great… but until finally ordering the sashimi at the end, I could only judge by the texture as every dish was over seasoned/spiced. There was a little magic with the tropical vinaigrette, but the plate was entirely overseasoned and ruined by the drops of mayonnaise. I would return for the creamy miso soup and sashimi. Kudos for having real wasabi.
There is much potential, but overall I missed being able to taste the fish and subtleties of mixing of flavours and textures a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant offers.

Our first night in Rincon, we were fortunate to snag a table at Bakku, thanks to a friend who knows the area and recommended it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. If you plan on going, get there early because it fills up fast. We showed up at 4:45 PM and there were already people waiting in line. The restaurant is small, cozy, and buzzing with energy for all the right reasons. The sushi was outstanding, the drinks were just as good, and the whole experience lived up to the hype. If you are in Rincon and craving top-quality sushi, I highly recommend making this spot a priority.

Excelent food, service, atmosphere. Everything was absolutely lovely. I don’t usually leave sushi restaurants reviews but for someone that lived in Japan for years I’d highly recommend. You can absolutely see the passion in every bite. Well done!

One of the best places I’ve eaten in Puerto Rico. There’s a saying out there about knowing your worth, and that being the best is all you need. Bakku checks all those boxes.
The pride of ownership is reflected in the quality of everything from the experience to the food quality and presentation. That said being the best, they obviously know that you will find them, and they can feed you on their terms. You won’t find big fancy signs, and don’t bother showing up on a Saturday, they obviously appreciate their time off just as much as I do.
Okay so let’s talk about the food and the experience. You can’t Bakku anything but an experience. I was so impressed.
We started out with drinks. Their Sake menu is one of the most unique and well rounded menus I’ve seen any where. They had things I haven’t seen in LA, NYC, or Vegas. Their drink menu was inspired and the presentation was a show all to itself. If you can find a designated driver, I would recommend one of everything!
For some starters we tried Maguro lollipops, and Kani Korokke. The lollipops were definitely worth fighting over. They were rich, with sweet and salty soy flavors and I light hint of spice at the end. They had crunchy umami on the outside, followed by soft tuna inside, then you’re punched in the mouth with flavor. The Kani Korokke was was bathing in a rich sweet sauce and reminded me of eating a crab cake at a Japanese BBQ party.
For the cold tasting we moved on to Tuna Three Ways, Hotate Crudo, and Nikkei Uzusukuri. The tuna trio was all fantastic and got things rolling nicely. They all had hints of smoke and grill. The nice crunchy topping was whimsical, and my wife had to tell me that I wasn’t allowed to lick the plate. The Hotate Crudo was fresh sweet scallops with a sweet aioli, but that reminded me too much of miracle whip. My wife said it was fantastic and I let her enjoy the majority. Only slightly controversial. For the Nekkei it was a bright fresh burst of citrus with light heat from the peppers. It was an amazing pallet cleanse, and perhaps the table favorite.
Then we had Truffle Akami, Hotate Torched, and Sake Maguro. They were the perfect transition into our next round of Nigiri. The Truffle definitely stole the show.
For the Nigiri we had two orders of Maguru, one each of the fresh local fish of the day…snapper, and wahoo I think. Then my favor Hamatchi and Hamatchi Toro. The wasabi was the most legit wasabi I’ve ever had. I was thinking done soy sauce might be a welcome addition and I think they were reading my mind because it arrived moments later.
As an aside from the food: The service was impeccable. They functioned as a well oiled team and you could tell they all liked each other and were working towards a mutual goal: making my evening the best it could be. They succeeded well beyond my expectations.
Back to the Nigiri. There isn’t much to say, except that it was perfection. It arrived on a very fun rotating platter. I’m not sure if it was intentional, but that made it so much easier to share. No reaching, no dripping, no Chop stick sword fights. The Hamatchi was brilliant and buttery. It made such and impression that I ordered more for my dessert.
Then I had Waygu A5, it was cooked to perfection and topped with truffle. Both bites melted in my mouth. I probably could have eaten another two orders or was so delicious. Please don’t pass on trying the Waygu. The ingredient was shown the respect it deserved.
Finishing of the night we had the Bakku Maki and C O D. The COD was warm with a light crunchy shell. That was a perfect contrast to the cold Bakku. We went back and forth, bite for bite and each was an experience.
This was a win for us and a perfect date night. If you love sushi then you owe it to yourself to show up. I would call ahead of possible or be prepared to be patient. It is worth the wait.

Bakku is a small Japanese spot in Rincón that truly stands out with its fresh sushi, creative dishes, and cozy, modern vibe. The mix of clean design and natural elements fits perfectly with the laid-back west coast atmosphere. Everything —from sashimi to specialty rolls— is made with care and top-quality ingredients.
The service is warm and professional, with chefs and staff who clearly love what they do. They don’t take reservations, so it’s best to arrive early. They’re only open Monday to Thursday evenings, but it’s absolutely worth planning for. Highly recommended for real sushi lovers.
Must-try dishes: truffle amaki, Bakku roll, hamachi with ponzu, and octopus carpaccio.
