This place is mainly takeout but there are three tables inside for parties of two or three. My husband had the lomo saltado and since the kitchen is right there, we saw her cooking it and it was like seeing your favorite aunt making you your favorite meal. The owner and what I think are her family were very warm and welcoming. It was clear they are a staple in their community here. He thought the lomo saltado was the best ever, and we're from an area that has a lot of Peruvian. They even had his Inca-Kola. I got the quarter chicken meal and it was equally as well-seasoned and satisfying, super moist and flavorful. Definitely some place you want to try if you want authentic Peruvian cuisine served with heart. Also note: this place is not associated with the other La Vicharra in the area.

As you enter, the staff greet you and guide you to the dining area on the left, which continues toward the kitchen and additional seating in the back. The bathroom even has a small resting area where you can sit and wait or take care of minor needs. I love seeing everyone sitting, talking, and enjoying the warm, family-like atmosphere of eating delicious food, filled with laughter. It's a welcoming place, though it can get a little loud when many people are dining and enjoying one another's company. Oh lol before you park there's a parking attendant.

The restaurant is located right across a harbor and has beautiful views! We were lucky enough to get a 4 person table outside overlooking the water, which made our dinner so pleasant. Service was quick and easy, had no issues there. The restaurant hours are pretty tricky though they are only open for a few hours each night so would definitely made a reservation even if you are coming on a weekday. The food was actually very very good!! Given the Japanese and Peruvian fusion, there is a lot of sushi options on the menu but also a lot of asian fusion dishes and Peruvian dishes. We were able to order a lot of different things like the peppers, eggplant chips, beef wontons, mushroom soup, mix ceviche, cripsy rice rushi, scallops, lemon shrimp, and sliders. Honestly everything was delicious. What stood out the most were the peppers and the beef wonton. The flavors were very unique, not sure if I can say I've had anything similar elsewhere. Overall, we did not think Nikkei of Peru was too expensive either, felt like we got a very decent amount for what we paid for. Combined with the view and the adorable town of Port Washington, this is a wonderful place to eat!

The chicha morada is excellent 8/10 Lots of flavor, some sweetness and it's refreshing. Pollo a la brasa 10/10 This is usually half a chicken or a whole chicken depending on your order. It's perfectly spiced and cooked. It's still juicy inside, the skin is super savory and they give you house green sauce on the side. The green sauce is great but it's more on the mayo side than a spicy green sauce. Skirt steak 10/10 (Tallarines Verdes con carne) perfectly cooked and noodles are tasty. The sauce is similar to a pesto and it really has great flavor and texture.

I enjoyed being welcomed by their plush Alpaca at the door. The service was great, they were attentive and when asked for recommendations they were good with providing them. I like that it's run by Latinos too- giving it the extra hint of authenticity. What we had: - Grilled Octopus: So perfectly cooked and seasoned!! Such a tender bite and it paired beautifully with the sauce it came with. My only complaint is there wasn't more! - Adobo: My friend ordered this and enjoyed it- the beef was tender and the mash was a good combo. - Tallarines a la Huancaina: This is what I came for!! Was craving some steak and tallarines and this hit the mark. The sauce on the tallarines is so delightful and compliments the steak well- the steak is such a hefty piece and it was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I devoured this plate and left no crumbs. - Brownie with Lucuma Ice cream and toasted Quinoa: We took their recommendation for dessert as it was mentioned we could not miss out on their Lucuma ice cream- this was a delight!! The ice cream tastes similar to dulce de leche and the brownie was light and airy. I enjoyed this meal and restaurant overall and would definitely visit again.

They have happy hour Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 and each day they rotate a different drink special. Beer and wine are also included in the $6 specials which is actually a pretty good deal. I went on a Wednesday so the featured drink was the pisco sour and it was delicious. The bartender put a cute little topping/design on the foam which made it feel a little more elevated and not just a basic happy hour drink. It was not overly crowded but there were still a decent amount of people there so it had a nice energy without feeling too loud or packed. A couple of my family members ended up coming too and it worked out well for just sitting, talking, and having drinks after work. Overall definitely a good spot for happy hour if you want something more relaxed with good drinks and a nice atmosphere.

The trio of protein is an off menu item because the menu offers a choice of only one protein. Boy, was I disappointed in my order! The seafood tasted like it had been defrosted before cooking. It did not taste fresh. I had the Passionfruit Pisco, which was too sweet, and it tasted like it barely had any liquor in it. For dessert, I had the tres leches, which had a skimpy amount of sweetened condensed sauce (about three tablespoons), and when I asked him for more, Cristian responded that there was no extra sauce available. I have been to way better Peruvian restaurants than this--especially in Queens. The decor is nice though. I will not be back. This is one and done.
