Llama San @llamasannyc had been a real sought after reservation and I finally got one for their tasting menu for March 23rd ....unfortunately!
But i was so happy when they opened up for takeout/ delivery and i am glad to report the hype is justified .
Erik Ramirez and his team have brought to the forefront Nikkei - a fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cooking , rooted in the history of Peru from the Japanese immigration there almost 100+years ago.
Simple dishes but layers of flavors with each bite - my favorites were the Harusame,Yakimeshi, the Iberico pork tonkatsu and Ofcourse the Duck Nigiri( what an amazing combination of duck, cilantro and banana flavors)!
Also for take out , i thought a really well organized ( and kinda cute!) instruction process for adding the right recommended sauces!
