What diners are saying
Celebrated for its unique Peruvian-Japanese fusion, diners rave about Llama San's inventive Nikkei cuisine and "natural bohemian" atmosphere. Standout dishes include the refreshing tuna ceviche with ponzu leche de tigre, the flavorful blue crab with Japanese curry, and the comforting Iberico pork tonkatsu with creamy udon verde. While some guests note that portion sizes can be small relative to the price, reviewers consistently praise the fresh ingredients, punchy flavors, and exceptional cocktails like the strawberry yogurt drink.
