Jama - Asian Inspired Restaurant

There were 5 of us. Looking for a respite from the busy streets of Old Havana and for a tapas or snack. This place is perfect for both. Chill vibe. Cool decor and atmosphere.

The food is really good. They take pride in the flavour and presentation.

Air conditioned and modern clean toilets too.

I am so happy that we discovered this restaurant because I was basically starving in Cuba previous days due to bad food in all places. This restaurant is the only one I have visited here so far that can fall in international standard when it comes to sanitary conditions and taste of dishes. I was so positively impressed when I saw that bartender is doing everything with proper equipment and not touching anything with his bare hands.
We had vegetable spring rolls as a starter and seafood ramen and lobster as main dish. Everything was fine.
Prices are above standard Cuban prices but quality comes with price. Not best in my whole life but considering Cuba food availability and all conditions this is great.

Great tempura and New York sushi rolls - Lobster recommended. Mohitos top class too in large jars with generous amount of rum.

Amazing hospitality and great drinks. A local take on Asian food with love. Whereas is not to be compared with other capitals the food here is great considering supply challenges.

Julio and his team go above and beyond to deliver a memorable experience ! Fantastic value

I love sushi so, I wasn’t expecting that they knew anything about sushi. Boy was I taken back this place is a go to for Japanese cuisine. The staff is so courteous so welcoming and amazing cocktails.

The staff was so lovely and really went out of their way to get us everything we wanted and could have wished for. The hospitality was out of the ordinary. We were a group of 11 and honestly we had the best time. The food was really fresh and tasty also. We will be back before leaving habana :) thank you!

Very hip, cool place in Habana Vieja. Try the ox tail risotto if they have it! It was AMAZING!!!!!! Drinks were strong and beautifully decorated, although I've had better tasting drinks. Restaurant was very clean, food was delicious and made of high quality ingredients.

We stumbled across this place and highly recommend. My stomach didn't agree with other food we ate before eating here, so I'm glad I found it. I recommend the karrage chicken! They played good music and staff were very friendly.

Very good asian food, friendly staff and modern environment and design. Totally recommend it :)

This was a good surprise. The sushi was excellent much better than expected. The staff on duty was very respectful and responsive. Thank you!

Stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a late meal. Very friendly staff and spoke fluent English - Denis recommended some fantastic food and cocktails to match them.
It’s a play-on Asian and Cuban classics: Jamon fried rice, cerviche with Asian flavours, Kentucky bourbon mojito, and still have usual favourites like tacos and canchasa.
I reckon we had our best meal in Havana there cause it was a rare find.

For me, the best place in Havana! Already a long time ago that I visited it (twice), in oct 2022, but what a restaurant. Good food, so friendly people, creative and down to earth atmosphere and great music! Enjoyed it so much! Thanks!

What a truly wonderful and uniquely Havana experience!!
The Cuban inspired sushi was delicious, thoughtful and unique -you must try the octopus ceviche roll ;)
This place isn't touristy and really brings unique options to the table.
The cocktails are top notch, sharing inspiration with 304 O'Riley and easily out performing 95% of the establishments in Havana.
Highly recommend. Would give 6 stars if possible.
Would have pictures but was too engrossed in the food, drinks and atmosphere ;)

One of the best sushi interpretation ever had! Fish was super fresh, all ingredients of high quality and well used. Many other tasty option (tongue tacos AMAZING). Best service in town and fabolous drinks.
Super good price for all of this.

The incredible surprise to have phenomenal sushi in Havana... with lobster and shrimps made to perfection. And as my dear had the lobster plate..OMG..three, 3 THREE tails also cooked perfectly with just a side of sweetpotato cream...
Not even mentioning the cocktails

Do not get me started on the entrees..or the staff..just go there...Enjoy

In my book 7 stars..

Except Asian inspired eatery with a good variety of dishes around seafood, beef, pork and chicken. Excellent portion sizes so come to share meals! The drinks are amazing as well and the staff is extremely friendly. Open late and perfect for a quality late night dinner.

Jama was our “go-to” restaurant for both lunch and dinner in Viejo. The restaurant is cool but inviting and the service friendly and professional. The bartender/mixologist was a genius with beautiful garnishes and a strong pour, as well as house made mixers and liqueurs.

But the food surpasses all: an interesting combination of classic Cuban ingredients and flavors with a modern, healthful Asian influence. The food they are doing at a Jama demonstrates “fusion” is still alive and well!

All this comes at very reasonable prices. The fresh red snapper and lobster fritters are a must! A very pleasant surprise!

Such a uniquely Cuban place. Here you won't find noodles but 'ninja tacos' and fusion cuisine. We liked the sushi.

It's a great fusion restaurant. Great tacos, and fish dishes.

Amazing fusion kitchen and a really cool place in the heart of Old Havana. Highly recommended.
