The last Japanese-Peruvian restaurant I went to was underwhelming and I've been on the hunt for this type of fusion restaurant that is good. This one is an elevated Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant known for the small plates and the Iberico pork tonkatsu, and I liked the food here mostly. Reservations were not hard to get as long as you plan a little bit ahead. The place was a bit hidden as there's not really any signs of the restaurant - to find it, you'll rely on the address of this place and see the number in the front. We ordered the scallops, crispy maitake mushrooms, octopus anticucho, fluke, swordfish, Iberico pork tonkatsu, rock shrimp uni rice, and tres leches. The scallops were good, a bit heavy to start, comes with 2 pieces. I liked the crispy maitake mushrooms with the sauce they served - while fried, this one was quite refreshing. The octopus anticucho is skewers of octopus pieces with rice and plantains served with a wasabi sauce that's fairly light and mostly flavor as opposed to a strong horseradish effect. The fluke was very refreshing and a bit interesting as there's melons, in a yuzu sauce, so it has hints of tart. This one would have been better as the first dish to start. Swordfish was decent and in a sauce that could be mistaken for wagyu, so it's a novel combination for me. The Iberico pork tonkatsu meat is very juicy but for the price tag, it is a bit overhyped as a signature dish, especially since the 2nd item in that order, the pesto udon, is overcooked. The rock shrimp uni rice was very good and should be one of the items to try amongst the other entrees. The seafood is really fresh and the rice texture is on point, a little like paella. For dessert we got tres leches which is presented like a mound of cream so it wasn't the most appetizing looking, and it was a bit dry (like regular cake). I'd skip if you're expecting a regular tres leches cake that's very moist. Service is good as water refills are present and they course out the dishes in a well paced manner. Overall, this place is good but there were a few misses for the dishes we ordered.

I visited Llama San on a Saturday evening and was thoroughly impressed! We got several things on the menu - my favorite was the skewer appetizer and the swordfish entree with the fries. Other dishes were great too, although I thought the katsu was pretty salty. I do think the 3/4 prie-fix course would have been better value economically, and would opt for that next time I come here. What was amazing though was the service. They got our finished dishes out of the table promptly, and also quickly cleaned our table when we accidentally spilled some of our sauces. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes offered. Overall, Llama San does lean on the more expensive side for me, and the portions are small. However, I would come again on a special occasion, given the nice interior and delicious food!

I've always been impressed by Erik Ramirez's Llama Inn so I had to try this sister restaurant. We did the scallops, tuna tataki, wagyu carpaccio, the rock shrimp and wagyu (entree). The wagyu carpaccio and rock shrimp were absolutely phenomenal. For dessert, the tres leches is a must. Our server was super knowledgeable and helpful in understanding the menu and the space itself was so serene. Open kitchen and with windows across the roof - the place felt like I was eating in a sun room. But the restaurant is better suited for dates or 1:1 dining versus group meals.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city! You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Their veal breast toast and ceviche was an explosion of flavor. Each of the ingredients in the food added to the flavor profile and worked so well together. You also have to get the tonkatsu that comes with their udon verde. The meat is so tender and melts in your mouth. Highly recommend!
