The vibe is a chic-on-a-shoestring dining room and bar good for everything from date nights to solo counter lunches.
Chirashi ceviche; hamachi tiradito; Ceviche Nikkei; causa Limeña; Wagyu croquettes; beef-heart anticuchos; beef short-rib skewers with aji panca glaze; lucuma cheesecake; churros; house-made Andean fruit ice creams; Pisco Sour; Pisco-nic cocktail; Choco Pisco cocktail.Best toward the front entrance in the main dining room and bar area.Everything about Pacha Nikkei’s angular dining room, with its long sweep of bar and its eye-popping graphic wall murals, feels personal.
That plan should include the Causa Limeña, a cold plate of chicken salad on potatoes whipped with Peruvian aji chile that seems to have landed on table from outer space. From its splodges of purple-olive puree to its bright quail egg and turrets of avocado sauce, its look is as vivid as its flavors. Crisped spindles of nori gather at the center of the dish, while translucent frills of a mauve-y seaweed new to me sidle longside. Add a micro-rubble of toasted cancha, the Peruvian popcorn, and you have textural liftoff. At thirty bucks, there’s enough for two to sample. But I have a friend who regularly treks to Pacha Nikkei for a solo lunch of Chirashi Ceviche, and I can see why.
