Pacha Nikkei

Wonderful food with huge portions. It was so tasty I could not stop eating. It's a lovely place. Our server was nice, but so quiet. We had to tell him to speak up several times. The other staff was not so quiet and they were very helpful. The mac and beer was soooo good. And the seafood was amazing. The gyiza frita was very tasty. The Kaisen Ramen had wonderful flavors. The Arroz con Maricos was perfect. They had nice beer choices and cocktails. The best part was the churros. OMG!!! They were filled and they had this amazing chocolate sauce to dip in. Sooooo yummy!!!

I’ve dined at Pacha Nikkei a few times in the past and always had great experiences, so I was really looking forward to returning after some time away. On this most recent visit, however, I did notice a slight dip in quality compared to what I remember from previous years. It may be a change in ingredients or preparation, but a few dishes didn’t quite hit the same mark for me. One of my longtime favorites was the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which appears to have been replaced by the Lomo Saltado Mac & Cheese. While I did miss the lobster version, the Lomo Saltado Mac & Cheese was still very good and ended up being my favorite dish of the evening. The steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. That said, for a $30 dish, I would have appreciated a more generous portion of the lomo, as the a

Shout-out to one of our favorite places to dine: Pacha Nikkei in the Westchase District. This Peruvian-Japanese fusion spot never misses. We ordered the tasting menu, and every bite was excellent. Our favorite dish, the Elixir de Tigre ceviche, was not on the tasting menu, but we had been craving it for weeks, so we added it. Worth it. My husband ordered the Wagyu Old Fashioned, which was well balanced and not overpowering. I always order the Chilcano. It is light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. The staff is consistently kind and attentive. We have had the same bartender twice, once during restaurant week and again last night, and he was outstanding. He walked us through each course and advised us on when to enjoy the extra ceviche for the best experience. He was right. I do

Pacha Nikkei completely exceeded our expectations. We went as a big group and ordered a wide variety of dishes, and every single plate that came out was flawless. Not just delicious, beautifully presented and generous portions. I ordered the Arroz con Mariscos and it was absolutely outstanding! Rich, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. One of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. Would I go back? I’m already dreaming about the Elixir de Tigre. Highly recommend!

Exceptional food and menu. We did the tasting menu and every single item was superb. Don’t sleep on this place/ best Peruvian food. We returned! Didn’t do the tasting menu and we were again super impressed. We ordered ceviche, sushi, Mac and cheese lomo WHICH WAS AMAZING and Arroz con mariscos which is better than a paella. Also don’t sleep on the churros at the end. Chefs kiss!
