ALDO (アルド)南青山店 — Restaurant in Tokyo

What an absolute gem of a find!! Ate here tonight and was transported to Peru with the flavours of each dish. Authenticity behind the cooking and ingredients are evident.

Both the service and food were so good that we've decided to come back in a few nights again before we leave tokyo. We ordered quite a few items along with a couple of Pisco Sours. Top tip - get your pisco sour with passionfruit (maracuya) - you won't regret it!

Ceviche - our favourite dish. Quite large for the price and very, very fresh. Causa - a nice palette change. A small potato and tuna dish Yucas - so, so, so good. Very fresh and delicious along with the Anticuchos which were soft, tender beef pieces cooked to perfection. Camerones al pisco - the sauce absolutely made this for me along with the prawns and rice, everything was just delicious. Arroz (rice) con mariscos (with seafood) - highly recommend. Like a delicious seafood paella / risotto cooked so nicely. I'd recommend ordering this dish with notice ie at the very beginning so it cooks while you eat your entrees. Dessert - Arroz con leche (rice with milk) - simply delicious.

We ordered all of the above, as well as 2 pisco sour for about 10,000jpy which was definitely value for money! You can done here on a budget also, we kind of just wanted to try it all and are big fans of Peruvian food so we spoiled ourselves a little. This place was better than any Peruvian restaurant I've tried in Australia!

Looking forward to revisiting and trying the chicken, casuela and some dessert.

Do yourself a favour and get to this restaurant! Recommend booking in advance to secure a table but we got very lucky as a walk in, there were 2...

4.5/5 - A Taste of Peru in the Heart of Tokyo

Tucked away in one of Tokyo’s prime locations, this Peruvian gem delivers a vibrant and flavorful culinary experience that’s hard to forget. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that strikes a perfect balance between casual and refined.

The menu offers a solid variety of Peruvian classics, beautifully plated and full of bold, authentic flavors. The ceviche was fresh and zesty, the lomo saltado packed a satisfying punch, and the pisco cocktails were spot-on.

The only slight letdown was the aji de gallina—it lacked a bit of depth compared to the other standouts. Still enjoyable, but not quite on the same level. That said, the rest of the meal more than made up for it.

Service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. If you’re in town and craving something unique, this place is definitely worth a visit. Peru in...

We visited this basement restaurant in Omotesando on the recommendation of a Chilean friend. The space has counter seating and two four-seater tables indoors, along with a semi-enclosed outdoor terrace with a fan that seats six. The service was quick, and each dish came out promptly.

Between three of us, we ordered the deep-fried cassava, ceviche, three beef skewers, a salad with avocado and palm hearts, and rotisserie chicken with salad and fries. The total bill for the food and four beers was approximately JPY 12,000.

As I have little reference for Peruvian food, I personally found every dish delicious, with a strong preference for the ceviche, which was a perfect summer dish. I was pleasantly full and would gladly...
