Note that this is not a typical sushi restaurant, but rather a chef-led fine-dining restaurant, so the prices are in line with the high-end standards.

We had a great experience at Gaijin from start to finish. We secured same-day booking for the omakase for 2 adults and 2 kids, and the maitre'd made sure we were well taken care of.nnThe Nikkei omakase blends Peruano and Japanese techniques and ingredients very well, giving us very nice surprises in each dish. The drinks are also excellent and highly recommended, combining Peruvian ingredients from different parts of the country.nnThe maitre'd made recommendations throughout the dining experience and gave really good information and adjustments to make sure we had the best dinner.nnGaijin is clearly very proud of their Peruvian and Nikkei heritage, and we thank them for a great dinner!
