Peruvian Restaurant · Penn Quarter · 76 tips and reviews
Bobby: Everything was amazing! The eclectic blend of Chinese, Japanese and Peruvian foods took my tastebuds on a world tour. I recommend the aeropuerto fried rice, nobu usuzukuri ceviche & lamb potstickers
Micah Chiles: Wide ranging menu, from traditional (pork dumplings) to adventurous). Everything was on point, particularly the fried rice. Opt for cocktails vs large carafes
Washington Post: I’ve yet to meet a dumpling here I haven’t liked. Get the trio of juicy lamb pot stickers hiding beneath a lacy cover fried to a golden crisp. - Sietsema Read more.
