Sikwa is a remarkable experience. The food is unlike anything we’ve tasted before. The service is impeccable without being pretentious. If only the precolumbian diet included bread so we could sop up the delicious sauces.

Great experience for a birthday event. Some of the food was a bit over salty but for the most part very good. Service was great from the host and all waitresses. Thank you so much for the great experience.
