    Lomo Saltado
    Maggie L.

    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.

    Salmon pasta

    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. ‍

    Lomo Saltado

    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!

    Left: lunch special with Ceviche Clasico, salad and shrimp fried rice. Right ceviche clasico with calamari.

    Food- delicious, fresh, felt authentic. Variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. Ambiance- causal. A little dark, and has touches of Peru! Service- very nice. They are nearing their 3 yr anniversary. Value- very good! $60 for 2 people and I am full. Location: on corner near diamond parking. Street parking available too. Recommend: YES!! Supporting small business too.

    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.

    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. We came for an early dinner so the restaurant was still pretty empty and quiet but I can see it being a lot louder and livelier when busy.

    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!

    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.

    Just a great business serving Peruvian Cuisine. Lomo Saltado es bueno. Chaufa us on point as well as lomo saltado

    Ivan D.

    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.

    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.

    Ceviche Mixto
    Jacques I.

    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.

    Chicha Morada
    Jeremy B.

    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?

The rather unassuming facade does not do the place justice. As a solo diner they were super nice and accommodating. I moved from the lounge to the dining room - they accommodated. My drink made by the uber accommodating bartender, Cameron, was switched out twice. Once because they forgot the booze, and again because it was too sweet for me. The ceviche was authentic and beautifully presented. I chatted with server Manny all about his home country and traveling. And, Sophia deserves mention for being extra nice, and even sensing that the dessert would be too sweet for me by bringing out a pre-bite, and she was correct. She kindly removed it from my check. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Give it a try!

    Wonderful little family-run Peruvian restaurant that's worth a visit. Ignore the posts/reviews…read moreabout "service is bad." It's not. It's a small family-run place. Honestly, I get really tired of some Yelp reviewers who act so entitled and belittle a small place like this--it does not reflect well on the Yelp community. And here's a hint, you don't go to a restaurant 45 minutes or shorter before closing time and expect a perfect experience. In fact, many restaurants now close their kitchens to orders 30 minutes before that closing time; so stop acting so freaking entitled when you go in that time window. Okay, on to this place. We LOVED it. The service was friendly and helpful. No, it's not the fastest in the world, and mistakes were made (one for us with an ingredient we're allergic to--so ALWAYS double- and triple-check), but we didn't expect it to be. It was fine. The food was wonderful. These are Peruvians, and these are their family recipes. They may be different from certain other Peruvian family recipes. So what. Deal with it. The food was great. We will be returning. Many times. Loved it!

    What a beautiful space with even better food and a phenomenal team!…read more Food & drink: (5/5) My partner surprised me with a dinner here for Valentine's Day since it has been on both of our lists to try. Only he has had Peruvian food before so we opted for the prefix V-Day menu to make decision making a little easier. I wish I noted the exact items, but I believe we got a nori cone with fresh fish on top, hamachi crudo, crab ravioli, braised beef with mashed potatoes and veggies, chocolate mousse, and chocolate covered strawberries. Every single item was DELICIOUS with absolutely zero notes from either of us. Our favorite had to be the crudo with the vibrant orange, tangy sauce. Their seafood is all incredibly fresh. For drinks, we got the maracuya sour and hanami whisper. Both drinks were a bit stronger than we expected but we enjoyed them nonetheless. They also had inca kola, though our server did have to check to see if they even carried it. It's a Peruvian soda that tastes exactly like bubblegum. Worth a try! Service: (5/5) Given we were there are such a busy night, the team was absolutely incredible. They were so attentive without being overbearing. More conversational but not in a creepy way haha. Other notes: There's a parking garage below the restaurant. You may have to walk around the building to get back up to the restaurant entrance but it's not too hard to find. Definitely make a reservation if you can.

Achupado 3/5 - this was a good dish, there was a variety of seafood and they were all good except for the octopus. That was inedible. I wished they cut it to smaller pieces so it can be eaten easier or give us a knife but as is, it was way too tough and chewy. Flavors was spot on, I do wish they gave more noodles to absorb the sauce Ceviche tasting - 5/5 love the variety.

However, I wish he would have clearly explained that the executive lunch was for the whole table, not just individual. Also, cleaning our table while we are still there is a bit rude in my opinion, almost feel like they are rushing us out. The place is fancy and very very pricey. Good for special occasions or once in a while splurge.
