Hiro Japanese Gourmet — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

I have been to Japan many times but am not experienced with Peru Japanese food so my review can be biased.

This is one of the worst Japanese food I had in life.

Like around 20% of the ikura is broken. The rest of the ikura have strange bubbles inside. Was it frozen for a long time or … I cannot tell.

The items I’d like to order were out of stock 🤷‍♂️

The wasabi is mediocre and the shouyu(soy sauce) has the wrong taste. It’s not the one for sashimi.

The yakizakana(grilled fish) has scale that’s not chewable.

The yakitori(skewered chicken) is not grilled at all. It’s like they heat it up and then pour sauce. There is no charcoal taste. It’s really bad.

The sushi rice is melted like glue. The texture is wrong.

The only good thing is the...

This is the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever tried in Lima!!! I’ve been to lots of Japanese restaurants in China, Japan and the US, I also went to the expensive Osaka japanese restaurant in Lima, but actually I would say if anyone wants to try some authentic Japanese cuisine and fresh seafood rather than Japanese fusion cuisine, this place is much better than those expensive restaurants. The ramen soup is really authentic, and the pork in ramen is so delicious. I’ve nothing to complaint, this restaurant is so authentic...

A good Japanese restaurant. Chirashi was delicious. No sliced daikon, though. It seems daikons are not common in this country. Rolls and Tuna Tataki were good but I feel ponzu sauce was kind of bland. Overall, the experience was great. The service was nice.

I found that rice is cooked too al dente. I don’t know if it is the way Peruvian eat rice. But someone should correct this. Only Arborio rice should be so. No Asian mothers allow to cook rice...
