Nikkei of Peru — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

1st time to this restaurant with the family after Rob Petrone of Reataurant Hunter introduced this place. I'm not sure of the Peruvian aspect or the compliments of Peru in their food. It is still very much Japanese food and taste. The host/server we had was excellent, his name was William. He recommended the oysters, lobster slider, squid dish, etc... The tastes were excellent. This restaurant is on the pricey side, but the food really were excellent. You also have the view of the marina across the street, so is all good. I would definitely recommend to give it a try. I plan to go back when the weather is warmer and they have the slide doors open, I would like to see how that would feel then. I will leave the kids...

A very nice and cozy restaurant. It's next to the water. We went at night and it's winter; so we couldn't tell if there were any views . However; I'm sure that in the Spring/Summer it adds to the atmosphere in some capacity.

They offer an interesting blend of Peruvian and Japanese dishes on the menu. In addition, there is a small but nice sake selection as well.

I really enjoyed the lamb chops and brussel spouts appetizers. The miso soup was good as well. I liked the scallops, but there was too much going on in terms of flavors. Next time I would order the Chilean Sea Bass that my wife had. This was very delicious. As for the dessert, my loved her churros!

The staff was very friendly and attentive.

Overall a...

3 stars just because the bad service and lack of covid sensitivity. Food was amazing and is warranted 4-5 stars... The taku taku bites and Port Washington roll are reason enough to come here. We ate in the tent outside and there were several separate tables of groups of friends who visited eachothers tables several times without masks and walked between tables unassociated with them. I was frustrated that none of the staff asked them to be more respectful of regulations and put on masks... Add to this our drinks came out after our food and it took a long time for our rolls to come out after apps however they were worth the wait. Again, food is amazing but management should put better...
