Incredible dinner here with really creative plates blending Japanese and Peruvian dishes & ingredients. I loved that each dish was unique and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, yet nothing was too out there and the flavors were familiar/comforting. Enjoyed the corn croquettes, the risotto with shrimp & uni and the pork katsu with pesto udon

I’ve been here twice, the first time everything was good, the second time the Food was good, but our Asian waiter was pretty rude and was forcing me to order a lot of food, he forced me by threatening me if I want to add more later they will for sure take hours to deliver, and when I insist not to order as much as he was forcing me to he rolls his eyes and gave me an impatient attitude.

Llama San is reminiscent of an elevated, tasting-menu style restaurant that serves Peruvian fusion food. Their menu changes frequently so each time you go, you can count on a different food experience!My party got the chicken & rock shrimp skewers, scallops, both the ceviche dishes, the wagyu steak tartare, swordfish steak, and the tonkatsu. While everything tasted incredible, I did think the price was a bit steep considering the portion size.This is the kind of place you can come in for date night, a good dinner with friends, or to bring your parents—the vibe fits it all.I will definitely be returning!Vegetarian options: There aren’t too many vegetarian dishes, given the nature of Peruvian food.

on my bucketlist for a while! finally got to try their brunch menu this past weekend. we ordered their katsu and wagyu steak with eggs. safe to say, we’ll be coming back here again for just these 2 items! they were so delicious and cooked to perfection. i’ve never had katsu taste so juicy and tender ? it was love at first bite. the wagyu was so so yummy, honestly my favorite dish out of the 2. it was sweet, tender, and juicy! we were pretty full after eating these - we shared :-).

Been here 5 times. The food is always good, flavorful and creative. The service is getting worse each time. The server today definitely isn’t enjoying working here… I feel bad for the chef because it’s unfortunate that the server’s lack of enthusiasm overshadows the excellent work of the chef.

We tried plenty of food here, the ceviche and the scallops were wonderful. The steak was okay and the katsu curry was okay but definitely not worth the price for $40. Service was not meeting the expectations as it was more on the fancier side. We were waiting to get our water filled, and not attentive enough to get their lowest tip which is 20%. Knowing that we get the bare minimum, although the bartender, she’s very friendly and nice

The katsu is definitely the highlight of my meal. The chocolate tart could be better, the flavor is a bit blend and less rich as expected.The overall service is good, could wait a bit longer to ask me get the check since it’s not packed in the restaurant and I sit at the bar alone.Would come back to try for sure!

Incredible dinner - three course fixed meal between two served family style. All dishes were outstanding - fluke small plate and wagyu main at the top. Our waiter made our whole experience. He was so well versed in the drink and dinner menu and opened our eyes to a wine paring that made the food that much more exceptional. A must go!Not the easiest to get a reservation - set alerts on Resy!

We had a great time for brunch and got the prefix. Service was great and pretty spacious. Open kitchen had decent ventilation but we still kind smelled smoky after. But the sky light provided really nice lighting and was cool to see food prep. We liked the scallops, calamari, katsu, and tres leche. Wagyu was overcooked and the chocolate tart was very bland, instead of cream some gelato would’ve been better. Tuna melt looked really good will have to try that next time.

One of my favorite places for cocktails. Food is overpriced and just okay.

I would describe this meal as absolutely exquisite. We did the four course tasting menu so we had a little bit of everything. Without fail, everything we ate was spectacular. Service was excellent. Ambiance was great and noise was moderate. Truly, this was an exceptional meal I highly recommend.

The Wagyu Tartar was top 5 bites I’ve had.Small portions though for the cost. Really nice ambiance and friendly staff. I would recommend you steer the route of wine and sake rather than cocktails as they were disappointing. Solid spot!
