    A little noisy and the food was quite average. Unfortunately, I couldn’t taste uniqueness of the restaurant.

    We were able to get a late evening booking, after a play, and appreciated it. We enjoyed the food and will return.

    A bit disappointing. Had a lot of potential as the nagiri was delicious but everything else we had on the tasting menu was below average and expensive for what it was. Poor unorganised service, multiple wrong dishes, taking food away when still eating and all felt very chaotic. Better places to try for the money. :(

    Food was really good - much more of the menu to explore on future visits. Staff very pleasant, helpful and cheerful. Comfortable environment. Noise level was a little high - sometimes hard to hear other people at the table. Love the Japanese - Peruvian mix of food. Will be back.

    A truly outstanding Tuesday night dining experience. Our other experiences with similar cuisine here in Sydney was at Warike. I consider this dining experience completely unique to the one we had at Warike, in only good ways! The Lima Degustation Menu we ordered seemed to focus more on peruvian flavours rather than the more Japanese inspired Shibuya menu. The servings were perfectly sized, every single ingredient was fresh, and presented beautifully, and I truly cannot fault one dish. The prawn, chicken gyoza were a standout 'a latin rice dish in dumpling form'. Truly genius. The Anticuchos, which are traditionally prepared with beef heart, were done with wagyu. While the flavour of beef heart is a personal favourite, this was done exceptionally well using wagyu too. For wines/drinks, we had the pinot grigio and an argentinian torrontes. Sabrina was an incredible waitress, guide and sommelier. We also ordered a beautifully presented pisco sour which hit the spot. The ambience was stunning. Set in a large industrial style building with high ceilings, the walls are adorned with colourful murals, florals, lit by moody lighting. Salsa music plays through the building which pairs well with the happy chatter coming from the customers. Each detail is thoughtfully addressed here. Service was outstanding. Again, Sabrina was everything we could ask for and we would love to be served by her again. Helpful, knowledgeable, attentive and perceptive to the needs of all customers. This restaurant is located in Walsh Bay, which makes for a stunning place to stroll after such a wonderful meal. We will be back!
