Five stars all around for this hidden gem! What a delightful evening with a surprisingly delicious fusion of Japanese and Peruvian food! If you’re looking for something different and delicious Kaiyo Cow Hollow should be at the top of your list! Our son said order some fries (even though we were full already) so I asked why and he said because I KNOW the sauce is going to be amazing! And he was right!It’s a quaint small space so I definitely recommend making reservations.Can’t...

A very nice restaurant with unusual dishes that combine the flavors of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. We ordered sushi, fried chicken, empanadas, curry udon with clams, and salmon. Every thing was delicious, especially the curry clams and the fried chicken. The empanadas were average. The service was good.

A very delicious Peruvian??Japanese?? cuisine.

All dishes are outstanding! Chicken skewers and rolls are both delicious?

Less expensive but highly recommended! ?????
