Family was visiting on their annual trip to Hong Kong, so of course they wanted to try something unique and different that they can't easily find back home in Toronto. I was introduced to this place through some friends who work at a different restaurant at 239 Hennessey, so thought I would check it out.
The menu is a mixture of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, and most of the dishes are perfect portions for sharing. We decided to order a few appetizers and one main between three people.
1. Assorted Nigiri
Not your usual nigiri - there were some interesting combinations that included some seared beef with a quail (?) egg on top, another with some uni...Came with a total of 6 pieces (2 of each). Each bite was delicious - my only wish was that the sushi rice could have held together a bit better. When I went to pick it up, the nigiri broke apart a little too easily - but taste wise, it was great.
2. Ceviche
Their ceviche is so refreshing and yummy! The acidity of the 'tiger's milk' (the special sauce) was well balanced and the seafood was very fresh. The ceviche we ordered was slightly less 'Japanese' in influence but a Peruvian staple to boot!
3. Suckling Pig
Probably our favourite dish of the evening - the skin is thin and crispy, and the meat underneath still moist and tender. My mom loved the edamame rice and bits of banana (or was it plantain?) that accompanied the pig. Seemed like a weird combination at first but turned out to be weirdly addicting instead.
Overall, great dining experience for the family. Environment was quiet and service was attentive. Will definitely be coming back - especially because there is still a ton of ceviche/nigiri left to try!
