Sushi Nikkei

You’ll probably have to wait for a table at this buzzy Peruvian-Japanese spot in Bixby Knolls. It’s tiny, with just a few seats at the bar and a couple of dining room tables. But when you finally sit and the staff starts bringing bright yellow bowls of Peruvian ceviche and lemon-coated parmesan scallops, you understand what all of the hype is about. Their menu is split between classic sashimi platters, tiraditos, and Nikkei-style sushi options like crispy tuna tacos and maki rolls drizzled with creamy acevichado sauce. All of the seafood here tastes like it was delivered from the ocean that morning, and the eye-catching use of garnishes and stylish atmosphere make this place feel a bit more upscale than your causal Tuesday night go-to sushi joint.
