Good food, horrible service, nice atmosphere, high price food…read more The food is really good. No complaints. It's the service that's horrible. She forgot about my daughter's food, I ordered a kids meal and OJ, and then I changed it... and she said OJ cost way more...and then she forgot about my change - which she got mad it. Why am I paying 11% tip if I had to keep getting up to ask her for things? $12 tip? More like $5.... If that. Mandatory tip is bs.

My coworkers and I were here for dinner on a Thursday night after work. We didn't really have…read moreexpectations, just looking for food. Surprisingly this place was pretty busy and lively. We were a group of 6 people and were seated right away. They have an extensive menu for food and drinks. Everything is Japanese with some Peruvian flavours. For drinks half of us tried the fruit juices, made fresh. The other half opted for beer. The fruit juice was more like a smoothie. It was incredible and I would have definitely ordered more if I weren't full. It came in a strawberry and a pineapple flavour. I got the strawberry-ginger and it was very refreshing. For appetizers we got vegetable tempura, a shrimp wrapped in plantain tempura, and a chicken avocado tart of some sort. The veg tempura were meh but the rest of the appetizers were phenomenal. Especially the shrimp wrapped in plantain! For mains, some of us got seafood soba noodles, sushi and a fish dish. The food was pretty unique. The soba noodles did not look like soba, I think they used regular ramen noodles instead. However the sauce and seafood flavours were such a hit! Great find in Lawrence! Overall great experience. The service could be nicer. Will definitely be back for an after work dinner.

This place has a great reputation so I was excited to visit and Tambo 22 didn't disappoint!…read more We came here with a reservation for 3 on a weekday, but the place was pretty empty - definitely didn't need it. Ambiance was pretty romantic with the dim lighting and clean atmosphere. We were seated pretty quickly and service was fast to get waters and take our order as well. The menu had a good selection of dishes which made for a good variety of food. Ceviche was excellent, very delicious and fresh. The salmon was also super tender - really amazing! Prices were also fair for the portions sizes. Overall, we had a great time and would love to try their other dishes another time. Thanks, Tambo 22!

The Ceviche Mixto was so fresh with a generous amount of seafood. The shrimp, fish, squid and calamari were very tender and served with corn, lettuce and sweet potato. I also had the Ajisito de Gallina. Shredded chicken in a creamy mildly spicy cheesy sauce served over a boiled potato. Yum!

The margaritas are fantastic- perfectly balanced. For food, we ordered the Leche de Tigre Ceviche which was the best combination of taste and texture profiles. The shrimp and pineapple skewer appetizer was delicious as well. For main courses, we got the Seared Duck with Cilantro Rice and the Peruvian stir fried noodles- both outstanding. Truly, not a bad bite was eaten here. They got us pisco shots at the end which were a great way to cap off an epic meal. The service staff was amazing too- the host was sweet and pleasant, and the servers gave excellent recommendations. Can't wait to go back!!

The menu is quite similar but there are definitely some items that are unique to La Royal. My husband and I both got a drink, I had the maracuya sour and he got a pisco sour which we both enjoyed. The pastel de choclo was a good appetizer before we got our lomo saltado and arroz con pato. The lomo saltado was nice, though we weren't sure if it was supposed to be so soup-y! We didn't mind since we liked the soup though it did get a bit salty after a while. For the arroz con pato - the duck itself was fine. I appreciated that it wasn't dry but it wasn't my favorite. I LOVED the rice paired with the salsa - my personal favorite of the night.

I am NOT a pisco person, but my Peruvian pal loves their pisco sours there. Great for a date spot. Not great for large groups (imo) - though the patio does have more space. In fact, of my favorite things to do during the summer is pop by and grab a spot on the patio for a beer and some ceviche - solo or with a buddy. Then off I go.

Food: the lomo saltado was cooked exactly medium with the tender juiciness being highlighted. The aroma of the onions really bring out the fragrance but the overall dish was lacking in flavor. It felt like stir fry beef and veggies (which it is) but the sauce could've been incorporated perhaps better. The Tacutacu is where it's at though. The "risotto" was basically mixed rice but the intense seafood flavors and the juicy tender fish really highlight the Peruvian flavor. It isn't exactly traditional but still yummy nonetheless. Ambience/Service/Decor: we sat at the bar and were served fairly quickly by the bartender. Cute little restaurant reminding me of a European Esq experience.

This place is popping! Even though it was later in the evening, the restaurant was still really full. However we didn't have to wait too long to get seated. I loved the decor in here, such neat details and even a column with a dragon on it! So cool. It's a dark restaurant so it was hard to read the menu, but otherwise, it's a very cool vibe here and feels very lounge-y. Our server was awesome, he was friendly and explained the restaurant style to us - it's like tapas, you order a few items to share and recommended 2 - 3 items per person would be sufficient. It was only 2 of us and we shared 3 items total, and that was more than enough. We apparently arrived so late that our server informed us that we only had a short time before the kitchen was closing for the night. But he said that he would return before the kitchen closed in case we wanted to order additional menu items. We were intrigued by the Japanese/Peruvian fusion menu and tried a few things: Kuromitsu Brussel Sprouts Spicy Salmon Fritas Bo Bo Chicken I was most excited about the Bo Bo Chicken a it had a sichuan chili oil and I love spicy, but it was not spicy at all (to me). But the flavor was really good. My favorite was the Brussels sprouts. I loved the char on them and the ginger black honey on it was so good. I don't eat salmon, but my friend said the Salmon Fritas was great and really enjoyed them. I would say this was the best meal we had on our trip!
