About the restaurant

"Pacha Nikkei will introduce the unique flavors, philosophy and techniques of Nikkei cuisine to Houston. In doing so, it pays tribute to a successful integration of cultures that goes back 124 years in Peru, and that has significantly contributed to the gastronomic wealth of the country. Pacha in the Quechua language of Peru means “world” and Nikkei is a Japanese word, widely used in Peru to refer to Japanese-Peruvian people. The encounter between these rich cultures has given rise to a delicious culinary expression that we would like to share with the world."

Went here with my aunt for a lunch on a Sunday. Food was amazing! Drinks were a bit strong, so if you like that kind of stuff, you’re in luck. Totally recommend the yukitas and lomo saltado. My only criticism is that I would’ve like the ceviche to have some chips.

Portion is small but delicious. We wanted some soup advertised on their screens but server stated it's only for winter. Maybe take that specific dish off from the advertisement
