Came to Kousine for some Peruvian fair. It was a nice place. I came mainly for the octopus, which I was not crazy for, it was a little chewy. I don't hold it against them, it is a hit or miss in most places. The food did take a little long judging by the amount of guest there was . I don't think I would still recommend Kousine.

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

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
Richard S.

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.

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.

Tasty Empanadas

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

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.

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.

Ceviche Mixto

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.

Chocolate cake
Linda L.

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.

2 shrimp empanadas, 2 beef empanadas & Ceviche Traditional
Meg M.

DELICIOUS !!! I go here often and highly recommend the empanadas !! The ceviche is delicious as well, the staff is super friendly and it's a cute vibe inside the restaurant. Love that they give the Peruvian corn as a snack too. The happy hour deals are also amazing and the purple reign drink was phenomenal! Highly recommend this place if you like Peruvian food. The aji de gallina is also amazing!

As we approached the hidden entrance tucked under a portico, I noticed it was right next to a Jersey Mikes entrance which gave me pause for a second. We had a reservation and were greeted by an extremely pleasant woman who turned out to be our waitress as well. The interior is tight, only about 7-8 tables, a bar and a small kitchen. After speaking with our lovely waitress, we ordered and the food was delivered in courses which was nice for a change. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared and delicious. It turns out the single person in the kitchen is the owner. He hand prepares every dish and accompaniment. Great food, great service and the staff were all very pleasant. A great dining experience- we will be back.

Before I talk about the food I want to say that the young lady that was the bartender and server was so friendly and gave great suggestions. The restaurant is small, however it is beautiful inside and does offer outdoor seating as well. Now for the food. They bring out fresh hot rolls with a small plate of cheese pesto and balsamic drizzle. Outstanding!!!!! We came to find out the owner who is the chef, his wife is a pastry chef and makes the bread and desserts. To start we had the Spanish chargrilled octopus. I know I have said this before about other restaurants, but I can truly say hands-down. This was the freshest, most tender, and one of the most flavorful grilled octopus that we have had. It came with a mixture of capers, potatoes, and vegetables in an amazing sauce. Truly fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the blackened yellowtail snapper in curry sauce, and I had the shellfish pan roast. Both were one of a kind dishes. We have never had such great flavor and seafood. Not to mention the amount of food that they put out and the presentation is worthy of awards. My wife's blacked snapper was cooked perfectly had a light blackened coating, and the curry sauce was tremendous. My shellfish were super fresh. Again cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. The sauce they were in was amazing. For dessert, we tried their homemade Keylime pie, and this too was top-notch and made fresh. We are planning our next trip to this restaurant and if you actually want a true fine, dining seafood experience you have to try this spot. I'm going to say it is priced accordingly for the true quality of food, the amount you are served and the presentation. If you are looking for a fried shrimp basket or fish and chips, this is not the type of restaurant for you. This is upscale seafood, and a true upscale seafood experience. You might want to consider making reservations as they do get busy and as I mentioned earlier, it is a small restaurant.

There was a cool breeze under the oversized umbrellas. We started with margaritas that were delish and the perfect accompaniment to our $1 oysters. They served over ice & were large, juicy and very fresh. For dinner we shared the spring rolls and a lobster quesadilla appetizers, both were overflowing with lobster meat and fabulous.

Savia has a true sense of artisanship and a genuine love of food, service, and hospitality that you feel immediately. When the chef and owner, David, realized it was our first time, he came over to welcome us and spoke about his passion for food and his Sicilian heritage. Throughout the evening, both he and his wife moved around the dining room, checking on tables and making people feel genuinely cared for. And then the magic began. We started with the caponata and fritto misto, both fantastic. The vegetables, shrimp, and calamari in the fritto misto were lightly fried and perfectly crisp. For my main course, I had the sole, which was beautifully prepared. My mother's chicken Milanese was absolutely delicious, and the tomato sauce on my father's pasta was some of the best I have ever tasted. Every dish felt thoughtful, refined, and beautifully executed. We chatted with Chef David again on our way out, which felt like the perfect ending to the evening. Savia is more than a restaurant. It has that increasingly rare feeling of being welcomed into someone's home. I will absolutely be back, and if I lived in Boca full time, I would undoubtedly become a regular. Bravo, Savia!

Perfectly prepared food served with pride and joy in a comfortable and welcoming environment with lots of personal attention. There are not enough stars to indicate my rating for this wonderful gem!

We also ordered the Chicken (Pollo) Chaufa and the Seafood Chaufa. Both dishes came in small portions, and the seafood was only placed on top of the rice. Sadly, they lacked the distinctive Chaufa flavor and tasted a bit bland. The Lomo Saltado beef was tender but similarly lacked seasoning, and the Ají Amarillo was just okay. On a positive note, the service was excellent, and the ambiance felt warm and inviting. It seems the food might have been adjusted to cater to a more traditional or less adventurous palate. Peruvian cuisine is renowned for its rich flavors and Asian influences, and I believe it has the potential to be truly exceptional.
