Between two of us we ordered: Fish ceviché Beef & chicken empanadas Beef heart anticuchos Jerk chicken leg Pork lomo saltado Patacones 4 non-alcoholic drinks
Out of these 6 dishes, only two were great: the empanadas and pork lomo saltado. The jerk chicken was the biggest disappointment -dry and the taste and lack of heat wasn't even remotely traditional. Ceviché didn't use any fresh chilli peppers, but relied on ground pepper instead which overpowered the dish. The anticuchos were a bit tough and lackluster, and the bed of potatoes underneath was bland and pointless. Lastly, the patacones also lacked flavour. The lucuma milkshake though was delicious!
Overall, Geodana boldly attempts to serve 5 different cuisines, but it doesn't make any sense. The menu is overwhelming and you're likely to end up choosing a dud dish. I'd recommend Geodana to offer a limited menu and perfect those fewer dishes that they...

I stopped by and tried some food today for the first time. Of the dishes I tried it was not even remotely close to the quality of food from the respective cultures. Recommendation, cut the menu down to your most popular dishes and fine tune / perfect those. I was skeptical that such a varied menu could produce good food and I was right. For the location and space this restaurant occupies I think it could be packed with sailors and their families. But the food must be good for...
Read moreGreat food with an awesome owner! Met Walter at his bar and was told to stop by his restaurant (so glad I did). He not only owns the place, but cooks everything on the menu personally! The way he talks about his food and the passion he has for cooking melted my heart and made me want to try it out (never had Peruvian food before). The flavor was explosive and the portions were awesome! Wish I was staying longer here in Japan! I'd easily make this a weekly dinner spot. He's very welcoming and the atmosphere is very laid back. Try Geodana's out! You won't be...
