Great Japanese:Peruvian fusion! The Nikkei sashimi and sea bass ceviche is a must! The aubergine miso with apricot and puffed soba was surprisingly delicious! So yummy, there was no room for dessert.

An incredible dining experience ! Every dish was spot on, very original and full on unexpected flavours perfectly balanced. Flames at the table sushi was a highlife, as was the chocolate crepe

Incredible food!! Best fusion restaurant I've been to in London so far. To save money, go early for a pre-theatre menu. Only 25£ pp and includes 3 (big!) courses and a glass of cava. 😋🍾 Enjoy!!

We had the bento box for brunch. Everything was delicious, except the chicken and rice. Ambience is trendy (a bit much) but reminds me of sushi samba in NYC when it first opened in the early 2000.

Best Peruvian fusion in London. Fantastic food, music and cocktails. Stay away from the sushi and focus on the Peruvian side. Pisco peach is a must! Caution: music can be too loud if you are over 40

Get the soft-shell crab maki rolls, flavour out of this world. Delish sashimi as well with a variety of dips; I’d recommend pairing the tuna with the truffle sauce.
Paul GernayNovember 3, 2018
Nice quiet place with interesting fusion Japanese/Peruvian menu. Would definitely recommend for a good chatty dinner with great drinks and ceviche style food.

Amongst sautée section, hake and truffle is to die for! Sushi close to Japanese standards and cocktails are also super strong! (Hint: Lychee picante 💜) Top.
KhalidNovember 7, 2019
Been here 25+ times
All time favourite in london. For appetisers go for the tuna tacos, nikkei sashimi, tostadita and sato maki. For mains always go with the lomo al parrila(beef fillet) or the chicken miso.
Magda IwaniecMarch 10, 2016
Pricey but totally worth it! Salmon picante roll, gambas salvajes, nasu miso, tentaculos de pulpo were all amazing. Rather than 4-5 dishes per person, take around 4-6 between the two to be full :)

Japanese/peruvian fusion in soho - small plate sharing concept - slightly OTT decor and loud music but the food and cocktails are delicious gyoza, pork belly, short rib and sushi rolls are a must try!
Levent AkgermanMarch 2, 2017
Great vibe. Citrus sake is interesting. Nigiri platters (aburi as well), hamachi with yuzu, lobster tempura, passion fruit brulee...the service is impeccable.

Amazing Nikkei cuisine in a lively atmosphere. Tried the Chef Experience, which is a set menu where the chef comes out with every course to explain the dish. Really great experience
Nikita KaJanuary 6, 2016
Fun vibe to go and grab a a drink at the bar. Very mixed crowd and amazing graffiti artwork. Perfect for pisco sours, the food is not amazing for ceviche go best to Ceviche down the street!
Lizzie PMarch 30, 2016
Tokyo style bar / restaurant with a mixed crowd and great vibe in the heart of Soho. Check out the graffiti artwork downstairs
Dorcas ChanSeptember 18, 2017
Very good fusion food and stylish restaurant. Pre theatre meal is very good value, for £25, there is champagne, Miso soup, 6 different things for the main and 4 different petit desserts.
CatDecember 20, 2013
Must try the miso eggplant with dried apricot and puff buckwheat and also the corn fritters. You can get lucky to get a seat at the bar if there is two or less people. Even if it is fully booked.
Ankit ChhajerFebruary 11, 2017
Took my team the £25 bento box is probably the best value for money. Good vegetarian options. Love the cocktails. A must try cool/fusion place.
Ardeshir PatelMay 13, 2015
Been to this place many times for drinks. The japajito is one of my favourite cocktails. The food here is really good mixing peruvian and Japanese flavours in the most amazing ways. Have the beef.
G LeeApril 8, 2015
Interesting Japanese Vs Peruvian restaurant. Great atmosphere with nice cocktail. We arrived at 10 and they are still serving food! Try avacado roll!
Nouf Q.August 22, 2015
Went for lunch so a bit quit, the place interiors would be amazing at night though and they seem they have a night crowd, the food I've had better Japanese
JennyAugust 15, 2015
Sushi and pork belly is a must try! The pork belly is juicy is in a rich sauce. Nice atmosphere, not ideal if you want a quiet meal
RaulAugust 28, 2018
I had an amazing lunch experience really nice decor, superb food (sushi and sashimi are really fresh), the concept is vibrant and staff was really attentive.
Emilie RosouxFebruary 25, 2015
Incredible restaurant! The food is delicious and surprising, the waiter who was taking care of us was lovely and the atmosphere is fancy! I enjoyed every minute of my evening :)
Nigel HewsonSeptember 26, 2013
Very impressive Japanese restaurant with Peruvian influences from founder of Nobu. Tasting menus very good value and way of trying the food.

Romy CohenJuly 31, 2015
First fusion restaurant I tried. The tuna sashimi on a tortilla was splendid! Also: download the velocity app and insert the code CH1 to get £10 of your bill. 🍣

Food is just amazing. Absolutely beautiful restaurant and food presentation. In love with salmon guacamole and spicy tuna roll.
RivJuly 5, 2015
The Aubergine miso and the Octopus with yuzu and potato purée were amazing. Chocolate fondant dessert was good too.
Samar Al Ma'awaliDecember 11, 2016
Cassava and sweet potato chips, soft shell crab, Chilean sea bass, tuna ceviche, beef tataki and the grilled squid are all a must try !
FahadMarch 20, 2022
Miso marinated chicken is out of this world 👍🏻👍🏻
Sharon LamDecember 1, 2018
Great atmosphere and service. Really liked their dumplings and the sauce that came with it. Cocktails were good too!
Sharon LamDecember 1, 2018
Great atmosphere and service. Tried their sharing course, as expected some dishes were innovative and delicious, the others was rather basic or sauces was too overpowering. But enjoyable experience
Verginia DuranMay 25, 2018
Very expensive, but the food quality is great! Beautiful plates and very gourmet! Try a Pisco Sour drink!
DanDecember 16, 2018
A hollow experience, the place is designed to look good, ultimately the food (veg sharing menu) is lazy and the service is insincere, you are paying for the postcode, not genuine care
Lamy ChoiMarch 10, 2018
Omg it's delicious!! The perfect fusion of 2 cuisines!! The martini with yuzu is highly recommended!
Jason QuarisaJanuary 20, 2018
Highly recommend. Great service and cool vibe. Miso chicken and sushi rolls were standout. sushi rolls were fresh and 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
OnwahNovember 24, 2013
The tasting menu is excellent, packed with flavour. Dishes are brought out one at a time over the span of 2-2.5 hours so be prepared for the time investment!
Stuart MurdochApril 7, 2015
They have a pre-theatre menu, a bento box with some of the signature dishes like ceviche and maki
LamiaJuly 23, 2017
Spring rolls are average. Try California roll and quinoa salad( best quinoa i've tried)
WhennoufeatsSeptember 11, 2017
Ebi tempura sushi, Edamame and Chicha morada
Enzo MartinelliApril 22, 2018
Lovey combination of Japanese and Latin cuisine. A guaranteed success with a group of friends.
Jawharah💎December 11, 2019
Good. Prawn tempura, california maki, ebi furi maki are recommended. The beef steak with pomegranate sauce is below average. Prawn spring rolls is regular.
Heena KaraniFebruary 22, 2015
Great cocktails & loved the veggie sushi & the veg tostadas. Wasn't a big fan of the aubergine miso or the corn dishes. The service was really slow.
Johannes DriessenAugust 30, 2015
Stunning Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant. Extremely cool, great atmosphere and food to die for. Do it. Eat it all.
Lexi ZhaoMay 10, 2015
creative food but highly-priced and the portions are too tiny! But I think it's a good place for some dessert and cocktails!
H AlghanimJanuary 31, 2017
shrimp roll & spice beef 👌🏻
IpekFebruary 11, 2018
Definitely try the anticucheria dishes, particularly the octopus and the corazon! The sushi and cocktails are good too
Cherie KohSeptember 3, 2014
Worth visiting for the Peruvian meat/seafood dishes, but 'traditional' Japanese dishes are on the pricier side
