Delicious Peruvian food with a variety of Peruvian, Chifa (Chinese Peruvian), and Nikkei (Japanese Peruvian) menu options. The decor is cute and homey. Prices are on the higher side, but I was impressed by the quality of the dishes and the flavors. I came Seattle restaurant week and enjoyed the variety of dishes I tried. Everything was delicious but my friend got really sick from what she suspects was the ceviche. read more

I love Peruvian food but don't often eat it so I was glad when a friend of mine recommended going to this restaurant. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside and has simple decor, the staff were very warm and friendly. We ordered a few different items to share between 3 of us. It was a great way to try a variety of dishes! We had ceviche mixto, Peruvian style sushi, shrimp appetizer, and shredded chicken over potato. I would have preferred the chicken warm, as it was served chilled, but still delicious. Everything was fantastic! So fresh and flavorful. I also had a piece sour which is one of my favorite drinks! Excited to know about this place and looking forward to a return visit! read more

This restaurant was SUCH an interesting find. I loved the Peruvian x Japanese cuisine they promoted when I found out about them. When you walk in there a cute llama structure at the door ( I wish there were more). I also loved the colorful flags. Despite this, I feel like the lighting could've been a bit warmer because it felt a little cold in the restaurant. Our waiter was really nice and the food came out in around 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was not busy at all though. I ordered the salmon pasta huacaina and it was like nothing I've ever had before. Granted it was delicious! It had a bit of South American spice and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I only wish it had more veggies throughout. The portions are also a bit small for a hefty price. I did think that upon ordering a lot of the menu items are full Peruvian or full Japanese and less of the fusion marketed. I would love to see some more experimentation with these unique flavors. Next time I go I will try the sushi. read more

Señor Carbón - Peruvian Cuisine - Pasta Huancina con Salmon al Grill - Peruvian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We visited for lunch during this year's Seattle Restaurant Week. There was only one other table while we visited. We each chose a $35 menu: I wanted to try the duck, but was told they didn't have it. But they were nice enough to sub the lomo saltado (the steak was tender and had good wok flavor). We also tried ceviche + Causa Crocante Nikkei (fried mashed potato cake topped with tuna tartare, one of my favorites of the meal). Overall, food is interesting but definitely on the pricey side. A good place to grab some drinks after work, or hang out with friends when you want to try some unique Peruvian Japanese fusion dishes. read more

I was impressed by the quality of food and their beautiful presentations. Absolutely top notch. It was hard to order because so many items looked delicious. Unfortunately due to my budget, i dont have that luxury. So I ordered the cassava fries in a green sauce, the causa de pollo, and a salmon pasta. Everything i ordered was fun and beautiful, but somehow tasted better the next day after microwaving. Pasta often seems to be better after its settled longer, but the other 2 orders were originally cold which means I probably would have enjoyed them more as hot dishes instead of cold. The restaurant is located somewhat on the edge of pioneer square. For me the street parking was pretty quick and easy to find. Upon entering i couldn't help but notice the interior was very clean and felt roomy for it's somewhat small size. Probably due to the large ceilings in the front half of the restaraunt. Oddly enough the entire time I was dining I didn't feel like I was in a restaurant. Not sure if that even matters. ‍ read more

We went in with a reservation on Mother's Day for dinner at 5:30. The place was kind of 80-90% full within 30 minutes of our arrival. The items we ordered were Lomo a lo pobre - was good and would recommend Seco de cordero - the beans was salty for our taste, but when eaten with the meat, it didn't bother much. Lomo saltado - was good, not much different from the lomo a lo pobre Fried plantains - was good Alfajores - too sweet for my taste (don't have a sweet tooth) Didn't drink that day and hence no comments on that. The service was good and friendly. Being mother's day, all mothers were greeted with a rose. very thoughtful of the staff/owner. Being Sunday evening, I found street parking in front of the restaurant/very close by. Not sure about busy days. One of the reviewers had mentioned about high pricing and I would agree. A bill of $140+tips is a little too high is what I felt (I don't have any experience of running a restaurant, so will not comment more). Last but not least, there is a 3% charge on credit card payments! read more

Get to this restaurant in Pioneer Square and try some Peruvian cuisine. It may not be as common as a cuisine to find, but it's similar to Mexican in a few ways as far as flavor. Señor Carbón is pretty good as far as the prices and quality. Has authenticity. The food has few things for vegans, but there's some at least. Calm but festive atmosphere is a way to describe it. It's got plenty of room for big groups and parties. There's also plenty who go who just want to eat and talk. Has a pretty basic drink menu. There's not a whole lot crazy about this. It's about $12 for a cocktail. The Cuba Libre is a classic, with Coke, lime, and rum. It's about $12 for appetizers. The entrees have limited choices for vegetarians. Quite a few meaty things like chicken and seafood. We ended up getting the Yuca Con Tartara. Basically thick cut French fries. These come with an aioli, but I used ketchup for mine. Has good things if you like Peruvian cuisine. It's closed Mondays. This is located on 1st Avenue at Cherry Street. read more

Food is delicious though slightly over salted and prices are on the high side. Potato croquette appetizer and pulpo octopus main were standouts. Service is decent as well.

I have always wanted to try Senor Carbon because I love Peruvian cuisine. Most of the times that I have walked past Senor Carbon, they have been closed. Luckily it was open for dinner. I liked that they offer Nikkei dishes (Peruvian sushi). But I had to try their Lomo Saltado to compare to other Peruvian restaurants that I have been to. The presentation was very nice and clean. I was disappointed that they did not have aji verde sauce. They did have a red salsa, which added some nice heat. The French fries were hot and crunchy, the beef was tender and delicious. The rice had a nice garlicky flavor. The price was a little higher than what I would have expected, but the food, ambience and service is worth it. I do want to come back and try some Peruvian sushi! read more

We visited Señor Carbon while working in Seattle. After having our pockets picked by another downtown eatery, we were looking for something more modestly priced and casual. This place is very informal and comfortable located near Pioneer Square on 1st Ave. The menu is a fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors including plantains with a heavy emphasis on seafood as you might expect. We went more towards the Peruvian side of the menu although the various sushi offerings looked very delectable. In particular, I enjoyed the Mariscos al curry con ajies Peruanos, a beautifully spicy seafood smorgasboard with shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari. I couldn't get enough of the broth delightfully bright with three different kinds of Peruvian chile peppers tempered with coconut milk. Poured over rice, it was amazing. We also enjoyed the Pasta Huancaina con langostinos, what I think is a Peruvian take on a carbonara featuring shrimp, carrots, peas, and bacon. Yum. The bar has a fantastic assortment of adult beverages and the prices are easy on your wallet. Service was informal but friendly and very fast. Recommended. read more

The lomo saltado was delicious, and the plantains were a standout in both the appetizer and the entrée--perfectly ripe and sweet. I lucked out with the best table in the place, right by the window. If there's one thing that could knock off a star, it's the value. An appetizer, entrée, and an Inka Kola will set you back well over $60 with tip. read more

Would rate a 3.5 but giving 4 stars as hoping it was an off night. Was there with a group of 7 at 4:00 on a Saturday. There was only one other small table when we arrived. We had issues with several aspects of service-getting drinks, getting order taken, being checked on during service and getting the bill. They never were busy until right before we left. All the food was good and fresh. We had a mix of all of the menu and everyone was happy with their meal. Seemed a little pricy but it is pioneer square/downtown Seattle so i guess that is to be expected. read more

Came here for lunch and Senor Carbon did not disappoint. I got a tuna nigiri roll and trio ceviche and my coworker ordered the lomo sandwich and he said the bread was super soft. My dishes were bursting with flavor! The only down side is that it is a bit on the spendier side. My nigiri was $13 and trio ceviche was $18. Great quality though so worth the money if you're looking for tasty Peruvian food in Seattle. read more

Señor Carbón - Peruvian Cuisine - Peruvian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love Peruvian food, so was happy to see that there's finally a Peruvian restaurant in Seattle. Although the ultimate experience would be being back in Peru, Senor Carbon was a nice restaurant to transport us back. For my partner's birthday, I made reservations for dinner for the two of us on a Saturday night, which was wise because the place quickly filled soon after we arrived around 7pm. Every table was taken, but because of our reservations, we were able to be seated at the only table by the window. The menu features classic Peruvian dishes we had learned about when in Peru, and I was especially pleased that they had chicha morada here, which is a purple corn drink that's so delicious! They also had their national drink, the pisco sour and the maracuya one, which is my favorite Peruvian cocktail. For food, my partner and I started with the ceviche mixto, which was ceviche of rockfish, octopus and shrimp with Andean corn, kernels and sweet potato. Of all the ceviche, I liked the rockfish the best and it had that zesty, acidic flavor from the lime. I wish the portion had been bigger, especially for $27, but it was good. For entrees, my partner had the lomo a lo pobre and I had the arroz con pato. The Lomo a lo Pobre was like the lomo saltado, a popular classic dish in Peru, but this had a fried egg for that extra oomph. He liked the dish, but wish there had been more steak. My arroz con pato, which is a duck leg that was marinated in corn beer with rice that was also cooked in the corn beer and duck juices. It was perfectly cooked and tender, with a lot of flavor. I enjoyed it. And for dessert, I pre-ordered the chocolate cake, and the restaurant was able to light a candle for the birthday dessert. Fantastic! Overall, it wasn't as great as being back in Peru, but at least it transported us back, even just for a few hours. The food was tasty, but very expensive. Most of the items were about $30. We had a nice time though, with friendly staff and enjoying a cuisine that's not easily found in the Seattle area. read more

The anticuchos were well overdone and the salsa verde has very little flavor, we also had the tuna Causa, extra Mayo took away the flavor. The tuna ceviche had a sleeve t flavor but the leche de Tigre wasn't any help. read more

On a recent trip to Vancouver and Seattle, I first tried Peruvian cuisine in Vancouver and loved it. Moving on to Seattle, I wanted more. If nothing else, some more of the refreshing Chicha Morada drink. Both cities were roasting in August, and this Peruvian soft drink sure hit the spot. Señor Carbon is a very attractive restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. The delightful server who was so forgiving of my inability to speak Spanish, helped me to choose Chaufa de Pollo for my lunch. Tasty, satisfying, what more could you ask for? I forgot its name, but how adorable is that llama? read more

This is maybe the most unassuming and pleasantly surprising place I've ever been to. When you walk in, the beautiful old brick walls twist and turn around a unique layout filled with beautiful paintings and Peruvian handmade goods. The menu blends Japanese and Peruvian classics together and let me tell you--the most interesting and delectable sushi I've ever had was here. We shared the 4 roll platter, the salchipapa which was savory and delicious, and the BEST empanadas I've ever had. The pisco sour was also delightful. We remarked all throughout the meal how wonderful everything was, and I had to tell the staff how amazing our food was. They were so excited we had a great time and I couldn't compliment them enough. Well worth the splurge and now I will be thinking about this place until I can go back. What an incredible dining experience! I LOVE YOU SEÑOR CARBÓN!! read more

The food was decent. Just miffed that this is first Peruvian place I've ever been to that actually has the audacity to charge for aji sauce. That's essentially the same as McDonalds charging you for ketchup! Service was mediocre at best. Of course the options for the tip were 30% and 40%. Out of control! read more

The servings are generally smaller, the prices are high - definitely NOT a $$ restaurant, and the food was very average. My wife knows good Peruvian food and we've tried Señor Carbón twice. We've been disappointed both times. The ceviche classico tasted fresh, but was drowning in leche de tigre. The sushi roll (furai) was smothered in a dark sauce that overwhelmed the fish and was inedible. I ordered the pasta Huancaina con salmon. The salmon was well prepared but was a small serving and was overshadowed by an excessive amount of pasta, particularly for a $28 dish. I've spent 3/4 of that amount for a larger cut of salmon at a comparable establishment in Belltown. The food was prepared on time, which is good. However, there was only one other group in the restaurant so it's not like the kitchen was overwhelmed. We're just terribly disappointed with the food, and having now read reviews from Peruvianos who ate here, we feel justified in leaving this lackluster review. Three dishes plus alfehores cost $122. That's simply excessive. To start, this is a $$$ restaurant. To finish, it's our last time coming here. There are better Peruvian restaurants in Seattle. Keep looking. read more

Señor Carbón is a very unique Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night, and it wasn't very busy. The Latin music was a fun touch but a bit overwhelming. Service was quick and the food came out fast. I definitely recommend the Causa Crocante Nikkei for an appetizer! It's one of the most flavorful dishes I've ever had with an amazing blend of textures. The crispy potato cake mixed with the tender tuna tartare and the fresh veggies on top was *chef's kiss*. The chaufa de pollo (chicken fried rice) was also excellent, although I think it could have benefited from a sauce on top to give it more moisture. It reminded me of the fried rice you would get at a Japanese steak house but with more flavor and vegetables. Overall, I would recommend Señor Carbón for a tasty and unique culinary experience at a reasonable price! read more

After a sake tasting at nearby Sake Nomi on a Saturday evening (see review), my wife and I had no idea Señor Carbon would be the perfect next step. A review of the menu immediately reminded me of Jose Andres' "China Chicano" restaurant in DC, which is one of our favorite restaurants there (I grew up in DC and visit 2-3x per year). We had the ceviche, the crispy mashed potatoes, and the yucca/plantain dish. All were excellent and paired well with the bottle of sake we split. Our service was equally excellent. read more

I ordered causa and anticucho and honestly I feel robbed. The causa was too salty, seemed to be missing aji Amarillo and it has a sweet sauce on top that made me gag, I had never have causa with sweet flavors mixed it. The anticucho was a total scam! The meat wasn't well marinated, the pieces where small and chopped so roughly, and the meat was so hard as well. Also, $20 for 3 pieces of meat and a single stick with a couple of potatoes and a sauce that wasn't even good. I feel so disappointed because I'm Peruvian and I love to support business from my own people but honestly I feel that the prices are excessive for what they offer and I felt insulted almost. Definitely not coming back. Prices are so close to la mar prices at this point and food there is superb. read more

Found Senor Carbon which is a block away from Pioneer Square. Hella hungry, there weren't too many items that were low carb so i figured to try this place. Love Peruvian food so why not! Closest thing on the menu that is low carb was ceviche clasico carretillero. Most of the dishes on the menu had rice and/or potato. Ceviche was pretty delicious consisting of fresh rockfish marinated in tiger milk. This dish also came with sweet potato, white corn, Andean corn, fried calamari and sliced onions. Delicious, fresh and tangy. The anticucho de salmon prepared in skewers were perfectly grilled and tasty. Nice cut of fish. Not too lean and had some good salmon fat. Served with a side of aji del casa and grilled veggies, a good healthy option. Service here is average. This restaurant does have some character. Worth a visit if you enjoy Peruvian cuisine. read more

Tempted by Eater and Seattle Times, we ate at "Señor Carbón - Peruvian Cuisine", a new restaurant at the edge of Pioneer Square that serves not just Peruvian food, but also Peruvian Nikkei cuisine. I'm normally NOT a fusion food person, but when we were in Lima, we ate some darn good Peruvian Chinese food, called Chifa. Anyway, I might be harshing their mellow, but... Order the Peruvian food, skip the Nikkei food. Hands down; that's my conclusion. Details below. The place is very new; both the kitchen and service are still rough around the edges. Our entrees arrived before all four of our other dishes. Water was never refilled. They didn't provide starter plates to eat the non-entrée dishes. Etc. We tend to be ok with these details, but they should improve. Their chairs fit strangely with the table, too. The ends of the chair legs flare outwards, such that they can't fit between the table legs. I have to sit far from the table edge or sit forward with an unsupported back during the meal. I hope they'll change the table or chair in the future, and sit on them before buying!! Their food is a solid 3.5 Stars. I decided to round up due to the uniqueness of Peruvian food in this area, and those dishes were well executed. The Food: Lomo Saltado, $24 - 5 Stars Menu: Flank steak seasoned and sautéed over high heat with onion, tomato, a touch of vinegar, oyster sauce and soy sauce, accompanied with rice, French fries and cilantro This was an excellent dish. The flank steak is flavorful and tender. Ordered at medium rare. If it's cooked more, it'lll be tough. Pulpo a la Parrilla, $26 - 4 Stars Menu: Octopus marinated in anticuchera sauce, grilled, served with potatoes sautéed in fine herbs, aji de polleria and finely chopped chalaquita This octopus is very flavorful. I would have liked more char, because the skin ends up with a gooey texture. The positive trade-off is that the octopus is very tender with less char. The portion size is bigger than I expected, too. I brought most of the potatoes home instead. Langostinos al Coco, $10 - 4 Stars Menu: Shrimp breaded with coconut, served with pina colada sauce A fairly basic coconut shrimp. The preparation is well executed, and the sauce is unique. Thumbs up. Tiradito Roll, $18 - 2 Stars Menu: Roll stuffed with shrimp tempura and avocado, covered with fish of the day flamed in sesame oil, topped with aji amarillo sauce and finely chopped chalaquita Now, things go downhill. Their Nikkei food. The "fish of the day" is lower grade, likely albacore. The "flamed" is non-existent; it's not seared at all. The rest of it is a poorly executed dragon roll. The rice is too wet and gooey and lacked vinegar flavor. The extra sauces didn't add flavor value, either. It just made things wetter. At $18, hard pass. I'll get a roll at Japonessa instead. Nigiri Chalaco, $10 - 2 Stars Fresh salmon covered in aji amarillo sauce, crispy quinoa, cilantro and rocoto sauce Nigiri Concha Limeña, $10 - 2 Stars Scallops blown in truffle oil, accompanied with lemon zest and maras salt Both nigiri types suffer the same problem. Both are fancied-up; neither of the fancying upped the flavor. The rice is still too wet, both tasted bland, both needed soy sauce. Better fish quality and portion size can be had elsewhere for the same price. Hard pass again. read more

Wow this place was absolutely incredible. I didn't know what to expect as we walked in but immediately we were greeted by a super friendly waitress that seated us quickly. They had a lot of authentic cocktails so I tied the maracuyá sour - it is very different from a whiskey sour - BUT still delicious and in the same spirit of a sour. I'm always hesitant to get octopus because it can be done so badly but I decided to risk it due to the reviews. Glad I did - it was sooo tasty! read more

Nice lowkey spot for Peruvian food in the Pioneer Square district! I'm a big fan of Peruvian food and it's pretty uncommon so I definitely had to make a stop here. I had the Chaufa con tortilla de Langostinos, which was a fried rice with a shrimp omelette on top, and the Anticuchero roll. I enjoyed the Chaufa, it had a good flavor and tasted very comforting. I wasn't a big fan of the sweet chili sauce on this dish though. The Anticuchero roll was not bad. I was more just fascinated by the amount of sushi options on the menu as I didn't know sushi was part of Peruvian cuisine! There were tons of options, but you could definitely do better than the Anticuchero roll. Prices were pretty high, although not surprising for the city. The sushi rolls are around $22 and the fried rice was $25. My friends ordered Lomo Saltado and they were $28! I'd have a hard time justifying those prices. Service is ok here. Took a while for us to place an order and had to constantly flag down the server for water refills. Restaurant wasn't too busy but there was only one server so it's understandable. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're into Peruvian food or want to give it a try, but it's a bit too pricey for me to become a regular at. read more

DELICIOUS! Came by here in the afternoon after walking around Pioneer Square. It wasn't busy at all and we easily got a seat for two. I ordered the arroz con mariscos which was delicious! It was very very hot so had to wait a minute for it to cool off. It was actually way more filling than I expected so I took it home with me.

Señor Carbón - Peruvian Cuisine - Arroz con mariscos - Peruvian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

An interesting mix of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine - a fusion that works. Reservations are taken by phone and suggested for peace of mind, as the restaurant is mostly tables that seat 2 with just a few that seat 4, and only one that seats a large group. We tried the Causa Crocante Nikkei, Ceviche Clasico Carretillero, A lo Macho Roll, and Lomo Saltado. Causa Crocante Nikkei: potato cakes - this is the highlight of the dishes. The potato cakes are soft yet crispy, with flavor from the tuna and unagi sauce. Ceviche Clasico Carretillero: rockfish ceviche. The rockfish pieces are pretty large, chewy and fresh. The cuts are not really the best, so I expected a bit more for the price. I enjoyed the other stuff in the dish - Andean corn that is pretty huge, some crispy corn kernels, and even some calamari on top. The crispy corn kernels made the substitute for chips that usually you will get with ceviche. A lo Macho roll - this was interesting. There were some Peruvian ingredients to an otherwise Japanese fusion roll. Rice was a bit mushy - kind of reminds me of some grocery store sushi. There is also a bit too much sauce that overpowered the more subtle ingredients. Paying $18 for 10 small pieces is kind of a disappointment. Lomo Saltado - the best part of the dish is the rice - buttery and a bit garlicky. We requested medium rare but got more like medium well, so it is definitely a bit overcooked. Meat was a bit tough and fries were a bit mushy. Overall, I liked the fusion but the execution needs a bit of improvement. read more

Fiancé and i stopped in while exploring the city and you should to! We had never had Peruvian food before and figured we might as well try it. He had the Combo Señor Carbón (wings,fried shrimp, and fries with an amazing sauce) and I had the Causa de Pollo (a mashed potato cake with chicken, avocado, and a special sauce) and after we saw each-others reaction to the food we ended up sharing. It was absolutely amazing. The staff was all super friendly and well attending. On a side not we wanted to give the chef thanks and it was the owner. He was back there cooking! Amazing! The ambiance was relaxing and calm. Overall 5/5 would be eating here often if we lived in the city! Wish I had more photos but the food was so good we didn't have time. read more

Señor Carbón - Peruvian Cuisine - The view from our table. - Peruvian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm in heaven. I can't say I'm familiar with Peruvian cuisine as I've had no exposure. This restaurant lured me as I love sushi, ceviche, and seafood. Stopped by on a Sunday early afternoon where we were immediately seated and entered food nirvana. The food was incredible. My friend ordered the ceviche mixto - or at least I think he did because one moment the plate was there and the next all the food was devoured. I ordered the Anticuchero Roll and the Nigiri Acevichado minus onion. The Anticuchero Roll was phenom - I've never had tempura salmon before and was surprised how much flavor and tenderness still shined through. But the Nigiri Acevichado was mind blowing. I don't know what acevichado sauce is except it's perfect - salty, tangy, spicy, bright. Shichimi was the spice blend I didn't know was missing in my life. The Andean corn sand added a dimension to the texture and through it all the fish still shined and the rice was perfect. I also tried a few drinks. The Caipirinha was super well balanced. The Machu Picchu was the mintiest drink ever. The Algarrobina was a perfect dessert drink - smooth, sweet, rich. Our waiter described it like Bailey's but personally found it to be better, more flavorful like a cousin who inherited the family's best features. All the drinks were amazing, balanced, and boozier than you would believe on taste alone. Seriously thought it was low octane and seriously was wrong. Thankfully I did not drive! Speaking of our waiter, he was great! Very polite and attentive. I really appreciated him and his patience as I stumbled through pronunciation. The whole experience was great. The food amazing. The drinks superb. It's a gem of a restaurant that simply must be experienced! read more
