Very nice atmosphere and delicious food! Worth the price and would recommend the wagyu appetizer. The fries for the swordfish were delicious but the actual swordfish was not my favorite. Everything was cooked and seasoned well.

The food was definitely elevated. The waitstaff understood the intricacies of each dish and explained the menu well (though the menu on it's own is quite confusing - be sure to ask for an explanation). My favorites were the wagyu carpaccio and croquettes. Everything was great though. Our table ordered everything on their menu to share for the table and not one dish disappointed. The drinks were also unique and worth a try. Ambience was spot on and it felt like an intimate and cozy setting with elevated dining. A hard vibe to pull off. Tables were a little cramped and there was nowhere to hang coats. Pre fixe 3 course meal was about $90pp plus beverages. Would definitely recommend!

It’s truly tragic timing for me to fall in love with Llama San as they are about to close. The meal here was one to remember. It’s really hard picking a stand out dish because each plate was creative, beautiful, and unforgettable in its own way.

Ive had this place on my radar for over a year because Ive never heard of Peruvian-Japanese fusion, but never found an occasion to go. However, an unfortunate occasion presented itself: Llama San is CLOSING! I’m so glad I checked in before they left and got to have a great meal here. Loved the vibe inside, it was like a natural bohemian, heavy on the natural with the amount of stone everywhere. Even the tableware was very stone-esque I loved it. Also the music was great, they were playing Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic upon entry which had me so thrilled for this meal. Started with the Blue Crab with Potato and Japanese Curry which was one of my favs of the night. A small bite but powerful in flavor. I was honestly impressed by how the potato was presented because while eating it I couldnt even figure out what it was. The crab with the curry was divineeeee. Next, had the Tuna with Ponzu Leche de Tigre and Citrus. This was really refreshing, I loved the citrus sauce with the mandarin orange slices alongside the tuna (which was amazingly smooth btw) and the sauce had a very very subtle spice to it which was interesting. This dish had a lot of these leaves in between the tuna which I wasnt sure what it was but it was extremely bitter so that wasnt a fun start but for the rest of it I just didn’t eat the leaves. After that we went into some mains. First was the Iberico Pork Tonkatsu with Udon Verde, Tsukemono Cucumbers, and Walnuts. The pork was fine but loved the katsu sauce over it. It was on the sweeter side but that’s the side I like to be on! The udon was FIRE. So incredibly soft and some of the creamiest pesto Ive ever had mmmmm. I ate the two items separately but then combining them together was actually so great wow idk like you got meat, carb, greens, sweet, sharp, all in one bite. Second main was the Rock Shrimp with Uni, Rice, and Chalaca. For some reason I did not expect this dish to be warm but it was! I thought overall this dish was good, but like a fine good. I didn’t really get any inventive flavors out of it but it was really good. Had a slight kick to it but some acidity too which I really liked with the rice. This dish was so beautiful though! Lastly, had to try dessert DUH. Got the Tres Leches with Lemon and Tonka Bean. I loved the presentation here it was like a cream dome over the cake. I am partial to a heavily soaked, wet tres leches, which this couldve had more milk, but the flavors here were on point. The cake was nice and dense and the tonka bean + rum added a really great nuttiness to the cream that was sooooo tasty I lowkey wanted to order a second one… Sad to see this place go because I wouldve seen myself return to try some other dishes, but alas all good things must come to an end. I’m glad I got to catch it on it’s last week!

A very inviting place with a fun Japanese Peruvian menu. A fusion of common Japanese ingredients like seafood (uni, tuna), shiso leaves and mushrooms with punchy Latam flavors. The scallops starter was really good, on the saltier side, so would be better to pair with bread. The octopus came in small skewers, simple and delicious, good as otsumami. The tuna ceviche was refreshing, citrusy. A nice balance to other dishes on the menu. Wild mushrooms were meh imo. A bit too oily for me. For entree, we had rock shrimp, sea bass and chicken teriyaki. The sea bass was my fav because of thoughtful use of crunchy snow peas and foamy coconut milk. A very memorable dish! For dessert, the black sesame parfait was good but really dense just a heads up.

My first visit was a couple years ago and I’ve been dying to come back. Finally made it here last night and it was as good as I remember. The pork and steak were the highlights, but every dish was incredible. Come with friends so that you can order a lot! Service is top notch!! Fine dining level food in an unpretentious environment.

Such an interesting menu; and everything works so well. The space is really relaxing and welcoming, great service and it is fun to try so many new flavors. We had a ceviche, the veal toast, crispy mushrooms to start and then the swordfish and pork katsu for mains and the sesame for dessert. All outstanding! Mushrooms, ceviche, and katsu were the favorites.

Great atmosphere, staff, and above all, the food and drinks. The swordfish, octopus, and mushrooms were divine. The only con so that I wanted more and more. The scallops and pork were delish. The tuna was also tasty, but the sauce was a bit too salty. Drinks were also phenomenal, especially the strawberry yogurt drink.

This restaurant deserves to be busier! As a devoted potato lover, I can confidently say their potato dishes are top-tier. The lobster potato bites were a standout—the thinly layered sliced potatoes had a crispy crust with a soft center, pairing perfectly with the lobster. Even the fries were exceptional: perfectly sized, golden brown, and just the right amount of salt. What more could you ask for? One dish that really blew me away was the lettuce mushroom wrap. Hidden under some foam, it felt like digging for treasure, and the reward did not disappoint. It was like a warm hug in flavor—deliciously balanced vegetables with oyster and a comforting texture. The swordfish was also fantastic—tender with a nice peppercorn touch. That said, the tuna crudo, while visually appealing, didn’t quite hit the mark in flavor, as the sauce didn’t pair well with it. The crab Uni bowl was good, but with too many components, the seafood got a bit lost. For the price tag, it could’ve used more than three pieces of Uni, and a sweeter variety might have been a better fit. Service was phenomenal—Mannie was attentive and kind, and I appreciated how receptive the staff was to feedback. The atmosphere is charming too—great lighting, comfortable seating, and a sustainable vibe. While the prices are on the higher side, it’s worth it for a special occasion. Definitely a must-visit spot—you’ll leave feeling content, bring a cute date or your family, they will be impressed! And I will come back to try the other item of the menu, I think it changes pretty frequently.

This Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant is a delightful blend of artistry and flavor. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance and decoration captivated our senses. We ordered 3 course prix fixe brunch, and every single dish was a culinary masterpiece. From the trout ceviche to the salmon tartare, wagyu beef paired with sunny side up eggs, and the curry katsu, every bite was flavorful. It blends artistry and gastronomy, highly recommended:)
