Summer‑Only Nikkei Sushi at Tanta — Chicago’s Peruvian Gem 🍣

Tanta is already a well‑loved Peruvian spot in River North — but did you know they offer a hidden Nikkei‑style sushi menu in summer? This special menu is only available Thursday–Saturday evenings during the warmer months. Catch it before summer ends! 🐮 Nigiri El Pobre Wagyu skirt steak topped with a quail egg — rich and savory. 🐚 El Limeno Seared bay scallop — sweet and tender. 🥟 Para la Consetida From their regular menu — like Peruvian‑style tortellini filled with shrimp and scallop — absolutely delicious. 🍚 Chaufa Aeropuerto Literally “airport fried rice” — a nod to the Chinese influence in Peruvian cuisine from the 19th‑century immigration wave. I order this almost every visit — comforting and full of flavor. 🍨 Dessert: Vanilla‑Chocolate Cookie with Lucuma Ice Cream I didn’t read the description closely, but the first bite surprised me — lucuma has a unique, almost maple‑like sweetness. Definitely worth trying! Tanta: 118 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60654 #ChicagoEats #ChicagoLife #Chicago #PeruvianFood #NikkeiSushi #SummerSpecial
