Wow, this restaurant is really special. The flavors and textures of the sushi are amazing and very different from other sushi I have tried. Every bite was great. The service was also excellent. Special shout out to Eros for being an outstanding waiter!

Second time coming here! The first was with a group of friends and I know with bigger groups the service can differ slightly but was still great and so was the food. For my second time I decided to bring my fiancé because he loves sushi and the food did not disappoint! Also our server Antony, as well as the other servers, was so nice, super helpful with recommendations, and just very attentive in general. Can’t wait to come back :)

Before you come

What is Nikkei cooking?

The cuisine that was born in Peru with Japanese immigration: Japanese technique with Peruvian produce and flavours. Here you can taste it in the Nikkei ceviche, the nigiri with ají amarillo or the udon a la huancaína with lomo saltado.

Do I need to book?

It is the safest bet, especially for dinner and at weekends. Booking online takes less than a minute and you get the confirmation straight away.

Can we eat at the counter?

Yes. The counter faces the chef, and some guests come precisely for that. If you prefer it, tell us when you book.

Do you have pisco sour?

In six flavours: classic, chicha morada, passion fruit, red berries, cucumber and spicy mango. And chilcanos in five. El Español called it “the best pisco sour in Madrid”.

How much does dinner cost?

Guía Repsol gives an average price of between €35 and €60 per person. The menu, with every price, is a little further up.
