    The Ceviche Kousine is what all other Ceviches want to be when they grow up.
    Jonathan B.

    Wow... just wow! Not only the best meal I've had in FL but one of the best I've ever had. And that says a lot. The food is healthy and seasoned to perfection. The ceviche Kousine was a master class in choosing the perfect ingredients. The Plancha Marina was out of this world, a combination of the Asian flavors well known in Peru and traditional Peruvian ingredients.

    Three types of Ceviche

    Ceviche had great tastes, and the overall experience was excellent. Service is moving towards the right direction. I would recommend based on tastes and potential.

    Stopped by on our last day in town. The service was great and the food is beautiful and delicious.

    Great restaurant tucked into the plaza on the southeast corner of 20th St & Federal Hwy. The food is so fresh and delicious. Explosion of vibrant flavors in your mouth. Every meal I have had here has been excellent. The ceviche is amazing, their rice dishes with seafood are outstanding, and there's steak which you can never go wrong with! The service is wonderful and the restaurant is really cute inside. Plus, they have a great lunch menu.

    From the photos and in person, the restaurant is beautiful. It is modern, sleek, and full of potential. You walk in feeling like you are about to go on a memorable culinary journey. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the aesthetics. Starting with something small, I ordered a ginger ale and what came out tasted like flavored water. I sent it back, and the server returned to let me know the soda machine was out of syrup. The second one was fine, but it set the tone for the overall service, which was minimal and inconsistent. We had to flag someone down each time we needed anything. There were no regular check-ins or effort to stay engaged with the table. As for the food, it just did not deliver. The bao buns were flavorful, but the pork was way too fatty. My salmon entree was nicely presented, but it was just a small block of fish over a bed of quinoa that was pretty average in taste. For the price and portion size, it felt underwhelming. One of our appetizers also looked beautiful but lacked any depth of flavor. It is clear that presentation is a priority here, but unfortunately, the flavor does not match up. The biggest issue for us, though, was the mosquito zapper. Throughout our meal, we kept hearing a loud zapping noise coming from behind the bar. At first, we thought it might be a grill or something intentional. Then we realized they were actively zapping flies while guests were dining. It kept happening over and over, and it really disrupted the mood. It was hard to ignore, and honestly, it made us question why there were so many flies in the first place. At the end of the day, this restaurant is simply not our taste. While it is visually impressive, the food, service, and atmosphere left a lot to be desired. It is highly unlikely that we will be back.

    Excellent food, great service. Casual dining with Peruvian Asian fusion. A variety of fresh ingredients and interesting dishes.

    Pan con chicharrón, tallarines verdes plate with lomo and papa huacaina, and children's chicken fried rice.
    James V. B.

    I eat Peruvian food all the time. My wife is from Arequipa and I've tried maybe 30 restaurants between New York and Florida. My son (11) also eats it often and has a mature palate. That being said we had an amazing time just finding this place and having dinner on a Saturday evening before leaving Boca for Miami, where we live. We started with the corn tamal with chicken, it was corny, tasty, and had olives inside. That and the salsa criolla made this dish on point and authentic. My wife's aunt makes this similarly. I had the tallarines verdes, or Peruvian pesto, served with lomo saltado sans rice and French fries, and papa Huacaina. This was all in one plate and it was perfect. Maybe the pasta was slightly overcooked but the taste was on point. I highly recommend this. My son had the child's portion of fried rice with chicken. It was delicious, so flavorful and with lots of chicken. My wife ordered the pan con chicharrón which was tasty, but we both agreed that it was dry. The chicharrón was prepared like large chunks of deep fried chicharrón instead of crisp on one end and tender throughout. There wasn't enough salsa criolla on the sandwich, lending to dryness, and further contributing to dryness is that the sweet potato was fried instead of boiled and sliced. In all, the sandwich with lots of rocoto mayo was tasty but Kousine could take a tip from J28, which has the utmost best pan con chicharrón. I had to eat the second half and we shared so it wasn't too big of a deal. I would definitely go back for my own order and both my family members would do the same. I want to give them another try and maybe try other dishes as appetizers.

    Inside

    The inside of this restaurant is very spacious and cute! I loved seeing the paintings on the wall and the hanging greenery. We went on a Friday afternoon so there weren't many people. There was plenty of inside and outside seating. Service was great! Our orders were taken and came out very quickly. We got Pisco Sours because you can never go wrong with those! We wanted to keep lunch light so we decided on two ceviche dishes. Ceviche Clasico was your staple dish with the usual lime juice. The Ceviche Kousine had a spin on it with a yellow pepper sauce and tuna which kind of reminded me of a poke bowl since it also had avocado. They were both delicious!

    Fried Yucca. Delicious. But $12 for 5 of them?  Are you kidding. Ridiculous. BUYER BEWARE.
    Marc Aka Max H.

    This review is for a delivery made by GRUBHUB, the delivery service used by KOUSINE. this is a review of the food, and not the delivery service. Got it? LA CAUSA @$24 was delicious. I would definitely order this again and highly recommend it. The portion size was acceptable. The BEEF EMPANADAS were the most unusual with large chunks of beef in a wonderful sauce. They were filled with much generous amount of beef and prices @13 for one portion of two empanadas. The FRIED YUCCA was delicious but was a big disappointment at the price point for the number served. FIVE (5) fried yucca pieces @12. Was a rip-off. Maybe someone in the kitchen made a mistake. I would not order them again based on this price and quantity. The side CHAUFA FRIED RICE was delicious and a decent portion @7. Not alot, but it was only $7! Utensils were not provided although I requested and it is noted on the check. Would I re-order thru GRUBHUB? yes. So impressed with the wonderful tastes and smells of this unique Peruvian Asian restaurant that I plan to eat lunch or dinner in the restaurant soon.

    Inside

    I really enjoyed the ceviche--it was very delicious and fresh, though I felt the portion was a bit small for the $20 lunch price. I also had the pulpo (octopus), which was excellent--great portion size and packed with flavor I didn't even know I was missing! The music was a little loud for lunchtime, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy at the time, but the service made up for it. My server was super friendly and welcoming. Overall, I'll definitely keep coming back--the food is consistently flavorful and worth it. Just to note: the quality of food has been this good since the day they open. Two other ceviche restaurants opened in this area, but were never able to survive. Keep it up

    Very good Peruvian food with an amazing staff and beautiful ambiance. Went on a Tuesday at 6:30 pm and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately they also had no working AC but it wasn't too bad inside. Our server was super nice and friendly. We started with a couple drinks. My pisco drink was refreshing and my MIL enjoyed her margarita. Our food came. Out piping hot and fresh, very quickly from the ktichen. Our appetizers were the La Copa and Anticuchos. The gigantic goblet of grouper, shrimp and calamari in rocoto pepper Leche de Tigre was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. It's topped with fried calamari lightly seasoned and breaded. The anticuchos was tender and smokey. The aioli on the corn was delicious. The Arroz con Mariscos was flavorful and had plenty of shrimp, mussels, calamari served with Criolla sauce. The Lomito Truffle Risotto was my favorite. The tangy stir fried beef over truffle creamy risotto complimented each other very well. The Arroz con pato was a bit rich for me but the duck leg was crispy. A little on the dry side but flavors were good. We ended the dinner with two desserts. The one we wanted was passionfruit cheesecake which unfortunately they didn't have. The lucuma mousse chocolate was delightful though. The Peruvian chocolate cake was a little too sweet and rich for me but still decadent and good. Will be back again!

    La Copa
    Jasmin C.

    This is a GREAT place if you are in the mood for some Ceviche. We came on a Saturday around 7:30pm. Wasn't too crowded and there were 3 server, 3 kitchen cooks and 1 busser. The pros: EVERYTHING was Delicious! I mean everything. The appetizers, the main dishes , and the drinks. All was well made and presentable. The place is clean and the decor was cozy and cute. My 9 year old is a picky eater and he LOVED the kids chicken fried rice. He said it was the best he'd ever had and wanted a separate order to take home. We ordered the La Copa (delicious), Ceviche Mixto (delicious), Chicken Tamal (I don't like Tamales but this was good), Chicken Fried Rice (Amazing), Kam Lu Wonton (delicious but I don't think worth $32). For drinks, we had the Pisco Sour and it was good. All workers were super friendly and nice. Cons: the service was super slow. Took us about a good 10 mins to get our drinks in and about 10 to get our drinks. Maybe cause we had hungry kids so it made the waiting time felt longer. At the end, asking for to go containers and the check was even a slow process. Please give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

    I loved my experience at Kapow noodle bar. I had only been to their West Palm Beach location…read moreseveral years ago, but never tried their Boca location. I came here for a birthday party event where we rented a karaoke lounge room. It was a very fun experience. They have the karaoke iPad on the wall and you're able to add in songs to sing karaoke and also have the ability to order food to the room and drinks. There's a server that comes in throughout the night to check on you and take your orders and whatever you need. It was a lot of fun! Not sure if renting the karaoke room is an additional cost (maybe the host paid for this?), but we all split the food/drink check at the very end. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend!

This time we ordered edamame, Wild Mushroom Chow Fun, braised short rib, wagyu potstickers, green tea, and for the kids the Vegetable Lo Mein Bowl. Everything was delicious, fresh, and came out really fast. A few small things disappointed us this visit. They changed the menu and removed my kids' favorite grilled cheese. It used to come on this amazing soft airy rice bread grilled to perfection, and now it's just a regular multigrain sandwich. The kids were genuinely upset since we always ordered it for them. My green tea was also served with water that didn't seem hot enough, and the foam on top was a little off-putting. I know green tea is brewed at a lower temperature, but this just didn't feel right. Also, the restroom used to have a beautiful chandelier, and now it looks like something happened to it -- only hanging wires are left, which takes away from the otherwise polished aesthetic. Still, KAPOW remains one of our favorite spots because the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is fun and stylish, and service is always quick.

    We had a wonderful lunch here…read more They weren't busy when we came in. Just a couple other tables were occupied. One room is the regular dining room, and the other is a huge sushi bar taking up the length of the restaurant. The restaurant is a Korean restaurant with Sushi and Dim Sum and a few other Chinese meals. The regular menu is large. Plus, if you are there during the week, ask for their lunch menu. My husband ordered their sushi bento box from the lunch menu. It came with a house salad with ginger dressing and miso soup to start. The salad was crisp, and he liked the ginger dressing. The miso soup was served hot and had pieces of tofu in it. The bento box had 5 pieces of sushi and a half hamachi roll (he could have also chosen a half tuna instead). He said the fish was very fresh and delicious. I started with an avocado salad -- from the main menu. It had a lot of slices of avocado on top of the lettuce with cucumbers and tomato. There was a vinegar-based dressing on top of the salad. It was good, but I preferred the ginger dressing which I got a bit of on the side. Then I ordered a few items from the Dim Sum section of the menu. I started with their turnip cake. It was perfectly cooked on the outside and soft and creamy inside. It's one of my favorites and usually if they do this one well, then all the others are good. I'd wanted to try their shrimp stuffed eggplant or the crispy shrimp with taro but they didn't have any of these in house. So I had their classic steamed crystal shrimp dumplings. I liked these as well. We had very good and friendly service throughout. We even got a taste of two of their kimchi's as a comp offering. There are a number of Korean dishes and combos with different soups and grilled meats and fishes that we'd like to try. I know we will be back here -- I'm hoping that it is sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately they didn't have Uni or any of the fish bellies. The chef said they couldn't buy them bc they're brand new and don't have the customers yet. Hopefully they'll speculate soon, bc people aren't going to be happy when they do show us and several top offerings are unavailable. I will definitely be back and I look forward to trying Korean entrees and dim sum soon. Ambience is nice and comfortable.
