MINKA NIKKEI - Japanese-Peruvian Fusion That Slaps! 🍣🇵🇪
📍 MINKA NIKKEI, Cliffside Park – This revamped spot (formerly a meh sushi joint) now serves bold Nikkei cuisine—think Japanese techniques meets Peruvian fire. Bonus: BYOB allowed (their zero-proof cocktails are killer too!). 🔥 Must-Order Dishes: 🍢 Chicken Yakitori – Legacy menu star; impossibly tender with smoky-sweet glaze. 🧀 Yucca Frita – Golden-crisp yuca sticks drowned in cheesy umami sauce (addictive!). 🍚 Arroz con Mariscos – Peruvian-style seafood rice; small but flavorful (shareable for two). 🥩 Short Rib – Silky beef on a cloud of garlic-parmesan mash (heaven!). 🌶️ Lomo Saltado – Soy-marinated beef w/ tangy vinegar kick (not for acid-haters). 💡 Why It’s Better Now: • Old menu: Forgettable chirashi bowls. • New menu: Ceviches, anticuchos, and yuzu-kosho twists = flavor explosions. 🍷 BYOB Tips: • Pair with crisp white wine or Japanese beer. • Their yuzu-spiked teas = great for drivers. Perfect for: 👯 Group dinners (big, shareable plates) 🍻 Budget-savvy foodies (BYOB = $ saved) 🌮 Adventurous eaters 📍 MINKA NIKKEI – Where Tokyo meets Lima in NJ. #NJFood #NikkeiCuisine #CliffsideParkEats #BYOBNJ #HiddenGems #JapanesePeruvian #FoodieFinds
