After the bad meal (particularly a bad Asian Meal) at Chow Bar, we wanted some solid Asian food the next night.

FULL REVIEW
Peruvian is a cuisine I am just starting to get acquainted with. Unlike many of the Spanish Speaking countries in South America, which share many of the same dishes with just regional variations, Peru seems to have a totally separate and unique food culture. But apparently, even taking this into consideration, there is the entire Asian aspect and sub-cuisine layered onto the Peruvian food landscape that we really don’t get much exposure to here in the US. Besides the indigenous ethnic groups in Peru, there is also the influence of the Japanese culture in Peru due to many years of immigration. While the Japanese are no longer such a large ethnic group in the country (a significant re-emigration to Japan occurred in the early 1990’s) 80,000 Japanese still live in Peru and represent the 3rd largest population of Japanese living outside Japan (Brazil and the US ranks 1st and 2nd).
