Fodor's Expert Review Llama San
It's not Peruvian or Japanese—rather, it's Nikkei cuisine! From the people behind the acclaimed Llama Inn in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, comes this buzzy spot, highlighting the cuisine of the Japanese community in Peru. The minimalist, almost austere setting is the perfect venue in which to enjoy the food, as it puts the attention on the plate. The small-portioned but taste-exploding dishes tend to add up, so expect to spend a pretty penny for items like uni-and-matcha-topped hamachi tiradito (or sashimi) and ponzu-laced tuna ceviche, among other (mostly) raw seafood bites.
