About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Fancy
  • Great for creative cocktails
We are a Peruvian Raw Bar; our mission is to provide an oasis of freshness inspired by the rich culture of Peru. From the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes, each dish celebrates the diversity and authenticity of Peruvian cuisine with local and fresh products from the coasts of our island. We specialize in ceviche, an iconic dish that captures the very essence of freshness with its vibrant flavors and freshly prepared marine ingredients. Each bite is an explosion of flavor that transports our guests to the bustling streets of Lima or the virgin beaches of the Peruvian coast. In our restaurant, freshness is not just a quality, it is an experience that reflects the passion and respect for the Peruvian culinary tradition and for the high-quality product that our island of Puerto Rico provides us.

    Queen Omakase culminates its series of its three-night culinary event where Japanese precision meets Caribbean soul. From July 31st to August 1st, guests were invited into the intimate world of omakase through a rare collaboration between Chef Max Kamakura and Chef José Meléndez of YOKO. With no menus and no expectations, the experience unfolded in real time — a quiet, reverent ritual where Edomae technique intertwined with Caribbean creativity, guided by instinct, heritage, and trust. Each night at YOKO became a story told through flavor — fleeting, personal, unforgettable. Now, the tide shifts... At AWWA, trust transforms into revelation as Chef Max Kamakura, Chef José Meléndez, and Chef Marielys Hernandez come together for a one-night-only ritual: the ceremonial breakdown of a whole 90-pound bluefin tuna, followed by a menu born entirely from it. This is culinary storytelling at its most raw and refined — where Japanese discipline, Caribbean soul, and Nikkei depth merge in every bite. You’ve seen how trust begins. Now witness how it evolves. This is the final chapter. Let yourself be carried. Reserve your seat at AWWA. Very limited seating. 5PM & 8PM

    What a find! I am not one to post experiences due to interpretation based on experiences. I have to say this sister to KUMO was outstanding. Food was consistent in presentation, thought and follow through. My wife and I were looking for something close but with higher quality. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the Isla verde/carolina area to go enjoy this rare find. Service staff was exceptional. They are known for raw bar options, but do not let that fool you. There were plenty of options to cover the gambit if raw is not your thing. We tried two cervices, a salad shared and two main entrees. Wine suggestions paired well with our choices per the bartenders recommendation. Tucked away on the second floor of a hotel on the beach, Aire de Olive hotel. Not hard to find d but you would not know it was there. Very chic, quaint with a modern flair. Perfect for a couple or parents that need a few minutes away from the family. Thank you to James our bartender for impeccable service and hospitality. We will most definitely visit again and feel you should as well!

    La comida súper rica Pero el mesero por orden de la Hoster nos indicó que ya el tiempo había terminado Cuando en el restaurante solo habían 4 personas más aparte de nosotras! Nos ofrecieron el postre pero nos retiramos ya que el tiempo había caducado Gracias
    AWWA Raw BarResponded on June 12, 2025
    Haydee, Gracias por su visita y por compartir su opinión. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron la comida. En cuanto a lo ocurrido, su grupo llegó completo 40 minutos después de la hora reservada. Para ese momento, ya habían terminado de comer y, debido a varias otras reservas por llegar a la misma hora, se les ofreció amablemente pasar al área del bar. Lamentamos cualquier malentendido y esperamos recibirlas nuevamente pronto.

    One of the more culinarily significant experiences in my life. The chefs, staff, food was incredible. If they ever do this collaboration again we will be there. The Chaufa, Pork, Nigiri all of it spectacular. Brava

    Small family dinner. Oysters are a favorite, so this place delivers them. The beach view is okay. Parking was challenging. There may be other options that we did not explore.
