Went to japaneiro yesterday with two friends. This place is in an obscure plaza with nearly nothing around it. But I think it's a hidden gem and worth a try!
We ordered from the appetizer list and pretty much just stuck to that portion of the menu the whole night.
Rock shrimp- 5/5. Really good portion, flavors and crisp. Can be a little too heavy if you eat the whole bowl all at once.
Salmon ceviche- 5/5. Again a pretty good portion. Comes with chips and you can always request for more chips. Salmon is fresh and the sauce is great!
Scallop ceviche - 4/5. I like the salmon one better. This one was good too but a bit oily and has too many big chunks of raw onion.
Tuna taco- 4/5. The tuna isn't quite seasoned. But it comes with a wasabi aioli that pairs well. I just wish it had some avocado or another ingredient in it to brighten it up.
Scallop lotus chips- 5/5. Yumm. This has a sweet note to it and was really good. Lotus is not super crispy but really good. Scallop was so fresh.
Chicken yakisoba? 5/5 It's the thin noodle with mushrooms. Really good flavor. On the sweeter side but I like sweet.
Chicken kushiyaki 4/5- chicken on w skewer. Really tender and juicy.
Baby octopus 2/5. I like the octopus. It was slightly chewy and meaty. But the yuzu sauce was very very overpowering. I made the mistake of eating it in one bite so all the sauce was in my mouth. The best way is to wait it is take off some of the sauce, request a knife and cut it up into a pieces.
I will definitely come back to try the specials on their menu. Especially the froie and Uni!!!
