"Incredible Experience – Amazing Food, Service, and Value"
I can’t rave about this place enough! We showed up without a reservation, and the staff was kind and accommodating, seating us in the beautiful outdoor area with a great view. A special shoutout to Alexis, who was absolutely incredible—warm, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He truly made our night memorable. The food? Outstanding. The ceviche with octopus and the hand roll were next-level. I went with a chef friend, and we both agreed this was easily one of our top 5 meals—and we’re serious foodies! To top it all off, the price was unbeatable. I ordered a lot of food and only spent 87 soles. Can’t wait to come back!
"Lovely Atmosphere and Service, but Food Fell Short"
This restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with a warm atmosphere and excellent service that truly enhanced our dinner experience. The surroundings definitely added something special to the evening. However, as Japanese diners, my mother and I both found the food itself to be just average—nothing particularly memorable in terms of flavor or execution. That said, the overall experience was still enjoyable thanks to the ambiance and hospitality.
"Deeply Disappointing Experience Due to Discrimination"
My visit to Limo Restaurant was extremely disappointing and upsetting. From the moment we entered, it was clear we were being treated differently because of our skin color. The staff barely acknowledged us and dismissed us within seconds, while offering noticeably warmer service to other (white) customers. Dining out should be about enjoying good food and feeling welcome—neither of which we experienced here. It was disheartening and unacceptable. If you value fair and respectful treatment, I strongly urge you to reconsider dining here. I won’t be returning.
"Perfect Meal with Exceptional Service"
Our experience was outstanding from start to finish. The meal was absolutely perfect—each dish was incredibly unique and memorable, full of creative flavors. The cocktails were just as impressive: delicious, original, and beautifully crafted. A special thank you to Gabriel, who provided excellent service throughout the evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a standout dining experience!
"Elegant Atmosphere and a Great Introduction to Nikkei Cuisine"
I really enjoyed the concept of this restaurant—it's beautifully elegant with excellent service that made the experience feel special. The food was delicious, well presented, and generously portioned. As it was my first time trying Nikkei cuisine, I was thoroughly impressed. A great place to discover bold flavors in a refined setting.
"Great Food, Beautiful Ambience — But Unacceptable Service Discrepancies"
The food was truly excellent and the atmosphere elegant, but the service left a lot to be desired—particularly in how inconsistently we were treated compared to other patrons. We were a group of three Filipinos, and while the white guests seated at tables around us were offered hot towels before their meals, we were not. We ordered tea, which by the menu’s own description should come in a teapot, but ours was served directly into cups with the excuse that there were no teapots available. Moments later, however, other nearby tables received their tea in proper teapots—more than once. To make matters worse, after our drinks and starters arrived, our server vanished. We had to flag down another staff member to check on our order, and instead of a polite reply, we were met with an unnecessarily curt and passive-aggressive response. Thankfully, another staff member eventually stepped in and handled the rest of our service well. In short: the food is top-notch, the setting is impressive, but the unequal treatment and unprofessional attitude left a sour aftertaste. Fair and respectful service shouldn’t be selective—it should be standard.
"Spectacular Service and Flavors – A Must-Visit!"
Alexis' service was absolutely amazing! Despite not having a reservation, he went out of his way to arrange a table for us and made us feel truly welcomed. His menu recommendations were spot-on—especially the Kataifi Scallop and Truffled Trout Nigiris, both of which were spectacular. The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail made it an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back again—and again!
"Disorganized Service and Underwhelming Food – Not Worth the Price"
Our experience was disappointing from start to finish. One of the dishes we ordered was completely forgotten, and instead of taking responsibility, the waiter claimed we never ordered it—even though we clearly had. He hadn't written anything down, which likely caused the issue. When we insisted, he backtracked and said they didn’t bring it because they were missing ingredients and "the plate would look empty." The remaining two dishes took an unusually long time to arrive, and others who arrived after us were served first. As for the food, it was nothing special—definitely not worth the high prices. Poor service and average food make this a place I won’t be returning to.
"A Culinary Gem with Thoughtful Service and Memorable Flavors"
This is a beautiful place to enjoy dishes crafted with true dedication and a passion for culinary art, especially sushi. The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and professional. A special mention goes to Chef and the team for their hospitality, and to Juan Carlos for his excellent recommendations. The trout with butter was an absolute delight—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A wonderful dining experience overall!
"Excellent Nikkei Cuisine in the Heart of Cusco"
This restaurant offers top-quality Nikkei food right in Cusco’s Plaza de Armas. We mostly ordered sushi to share, and everything was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff's recommendations were spot on and really enhanced our dining experience. The only downside was that a couple of dishes were already sold out by 8:00 p.m., so it's best to come early if you want the full menu. Still, a fantastic place for sushi lovers visiting Cusco.
"Beautiful Setting with Pricey Menu"
The restaurant is beautifully designed and perfectly located right on the main square, offering two distinct atmospheres. The balcony area is definitely the most charming, though it was either full or reserved during our visit. The interior also has a nice, stylish vibe and is quite pleasant. We ordered a dessert priced at around 40 soles, which felt a bit excessive given its small size. Drinks were also on the pricier side at about 16 soles each. While the setting is lovely, be prepared for higher prices that don’t always match the portions.
