We came for a birthday celebration on a Friday night. Definitely a place where you should get reservations since it seemed like they were pretty packed. This is a tapas-like place so definitely be ready to share the food. I love the food and drinks here. While it is not pictured, I highly recommend the chicken fried rice (I normally don't get it but it is really good). Just a tip, the chicken comes in wing form and is not pre-cut. I also highly recommend the cheese sticks. It was so good, we got it twice. Lastly, I got the In Bloom drink and would recommend that for anybody that likes sweet drinks. This might also not be a great first date spot since it is a bit loud so just keep this in mind.

My husband & I have been a number of times on date nights or with groups, bringing our families when they travel to visit Boston. We love the ambience. Everything we’ve tried is delicious, and the cocktails are really creative (esp the tea service). My mom, who is fairly seafood-averse, enjoyed this meal because of the variety of small plates.Dietary restrictions: I have allergies to tree nuts & milk, and RUKA always handles this incredibly well. It’s important to let them know prior to ordering drinks as there is at least 1 drink that has tree nuts in it (not indicated on the menu).

The beef noodles are very salty and heavily seasoned, but they are quite delicious.

Waiter was great, but service was a bit spotty. Drinks were all solid, especially the ganshi 75, in bloom, and grand Kai. Food wise def get the ribs, vat bottom girl, and pork Yaki soba. Sushi in general is good, a bit overpriced for what it is.

Me and some friends just ate dinner here and the experience was very disappointing. The interior is beautiful with interesting details everywhere. However, the service and food were subpar. The waitstaff barely acknowledged us and we felt rushed out. The portions of food were very small for the high price and the flavors subpar. We really wanted to like this restaurant but will not be returning.

Celebrated a 60th birthday here and the whole experience was top notch from start to finish. Apps, sushi, drinks and dessert were outstanding ~ cool ambiance too ;)

Have never been to an Asian-Peruvian fusion place so was excited for some bold/different flavors - unfortunately, the dishes were largely just kind of modern Japanese which was fine and decent, just not the level we were expecting.

Did my research with a bunch of other yelp reviews and so glad I did!! All these dishes are a must try! Lovedddd the Japanese fried chicken and ceviche. Each of the dishes we got were so unique and different in flavor! Not necessarily dishes that pair well together, but are a great mix of flavor loved getting different bites of them every time. We loved our waiter! Sad we didn't get his name (but he's from NJ and has been serving for about a year at the restaurant)! Huge shoutout to him, even brought out our dessert in this crazy bowl set up! Made our night, excited to come back again and would want to try out their cocktails too! Great spot for date night or dinner catch up with friends.

The ambience was cute and lively. Our server was also friendly, but be careful since they will ask "still or sparkling water" so make sure you ask for tap unless you want to be charged $8 for some water... In terms of the food, I think you will be wow-ed if you don't go in with very high expectations. The yakitori bar shrooms were fresh and tasty, and my favorite plate from the night. I don't know why the sesame noodles are named that, because it tasted like chilled peanut noodles with an annoying onion crunch. The wok choy did not deliver the "ginger-lime" flavor. Instead, it was very salty like soy sauce + oyster sauce and did not mix well with the dollops of rocoto cream. Overall slightly disappointed with the food, but I do want come back here to try their makimoni items and their pork yakisoba.

It's a really trendy restaurant; apparently this is an Asian Peruvian fusion restaurant, but outside of the chicha drink, the food seems more Asian. However, the food still is pretty great. I sat at the bar, and the service was nice. I ordered the lychee cocktail, spicy tuna roll, the ceviche, and the white black thunder. Everything was pretty good - outside of the white black thunder - nothing stood out. But it's a solid place to eat at

Very impressed with the food! It was delicious (see pictures below). I'd never imagine a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cousine would be compatible, but here we are. My wife and I will definitely be back.
