Delicious food and drinks, and very friendly service. The venue itself is very well curated, you can tell they’ve put thought into the decor.

Even though I’d prefer a lil more sour the ceviche it still The best ceviche I’ve tried in the us. Perfect for a hangover brunch with friends. So for me the ceviche was 4.7/5 and pan con chicharrón and the burguer were 5/5: Sooo delicious.Definitely going back for diner dishes .Excelente customer service btw.

Cute place. Food was pretty good. The cooked hamachi was very good. The liche ceviche was interesting and worth trying but didn't love it. Good salty and sour flavor but didn't like the texture/taste of the fried corn. The salmon tartare was good. Yuzu cake was good (reminded me of lemon meringue pie).

A cool and unique spot with delicious food! Highly recommend to all izakaya and seafood lovers!

Amazing food and drinks! Happy hour is a great deal, but the food was the real star. All the dishes were synergistic and spectacular, some of the best executed fusion cuisine I have ever tried. I hope to come again soon!

Lychee ceviche was one of the most unique dishes I’ve had. It was so sweet combined with that classic zesty ceviche taste.

Amazing meal! We went around 3pm and caught the end of the brunch menu. Ended up ordering multiple things- scallop, Japanese potato salad, chicken and matcha waffles, lucuma French toast, and a pork belly bao bun. All were delicious with nice presentation and complex flavors but the stand outs were definitely the potato salad, scallop, and the French toast. The vibe inside is also really cool, looks like it would be a great spot for happy hour.

Was here for brunch. Very cute place!The food is quite good—Peruvian with a twist. As you’d expect from Peruvian, the presentation is on point. Excellent drinks. Fast service.My favorite dishes were ceviche (although I’d prefer fish cut smaller) and French toast (melts in your mouth yet has that nice toasty crunch). Also tried pork bao but the meat could have been softer. The chicken in the chicken and waffles also wasn’t super tender. Still, I’d come back to try their dinner menu.

Props for having the first Nikkei style restaurant in nyc area that I’ve experienced (I could be wrong). Although I am not quite sure if this is Nikkei or Nikkei inspired.The happy hour specials are great and there a great deals to be found. We ate a mix of happy hour and regular menu items.Recommend the Macchu pisco cocktail. The ceviche was interesting and tasty although something was lacking to bring it over the top to five stars. The takoyaki were tasty and not traditional. I think they might have been deep fried.The salmon tartar was good, but I could do without the mound of squid ink. I ended up just swiping the salmon off of it.The really enjoyed the octopus dish. Quite flavorful and tender, my favorite.The tornado potato was good, needed a touch more salt although my taste buds could have been impacted by salty soy based ceviche.Overall, I would give them a couple more months to figure it out. I think they have what it takes to go from 4 to a 5.

This is a great spot for Japanese-Peruvian drinks and food! We ordered off the happy hour menu (4PM to 7PM) and a dish off the regular menu plus their Yuzu Pie. Everything was beautifully plated and tasty. Drinks were delicious.Bonus: They play Studio Ghibli movies in the back on a projector screen
Incredibly tasty and intricate dishes. This was my first time sampling Japanese Peruvian (Nikkei) cuisine. Noriko, the server, even shared a bit of Japanese Peruvian history with me which made my eating experience all the more fun.I got both maitake and fried pollo baos, ceviche nikkei, takoyaki, and the salmon tartare. My personal favorites were the Ceviche Nikkei and Salmon Tartare. Definitely coming back!!

A great and unique spot for brunch. I'm excited to go back and try their dinner menu. It has a really fun energy that's worth a trip alone. Their cocktails were quite creative too.

I’ve never left a review before, but this place inspired me because it’s just EXCELLENT…It’s a Peruvian Japanese fusion (Peruvian history appropriately). The bites include Baos, probably the best ceviche in town (TRY THEM, there’s only 2 on the menu and there’s no way to pick a favorite); octopus, the ají de gallina… (drooling emoji)… THE DRINKS, all of them! We had every single thing; it’s slightly bigger than tapas, incredibly rich and filling and just perfect for sharing OR devouring by yourself. We went f for it dinner, a group of 7… cannot wait to make this our family / friend spot moving forward. Staff was incredibly. And don’t forget the SCALLOP!

Can’t recommend this place highly enough. We worked our way through most of the menu as they have mostly small plates and every single dish was so, so flavorful. Very impressed. Don’t leave without trying the Nikkei ceviche and the Nikkei takoyaki. Both were incredible.Can’t wait to try the brunch menu next!
