This place was absolute 5* tonight. Food, service, atmosphere bang on. Jose, our server was very attentive but not in a pushy way, he appreciated us being there, introduced the food and ingredients. 5* The dishes were delicious, beautiful and put together in harmony. We enjoyed all of them. The other servers were lovely and welcoming too. We have our new favorite restaurant. Parking was easy, plenty of space.

Outstanding and something I really didn’t expect to find here. We decided for the tasting menu and it was great. 7 courses to see the variety of the cuisine and on top of that a waiter who explained each dish and made the experience even better. Try it! You won’t be disappointed

$55 tasting menu is what I had last time in this restaurant. Highly recommend! Food and drink are delicious. Fast service! Btw, Salsa night is on fire on Thursday night. Definitely come again.

I recently discovered Pacha Nikkei and will say it is definitely one of my favorite new fusion restaurants! The freshness, flavors and presentation of the food is superb, as is the service! Furthermore, the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is lively and aesthetically pleasing! I especially am in love with the variety of ceviches and maki! Desserts are bomb as well! My favorite is the Lucuma Cheesecake!

I love Peruvian cuisine because it is one of the most underrated and overlooked food cultures out there. My best friend is Peruvian and extremely picky about Peruvian spots, and he always says Houston does not have many that get it right. This place absolutely delivered. The Leche de Tigre in the ceviche was bright, refreshing, and satisfying with just the right amount of heat to wake you up without overwhelming the palate. We ate the Lomo Saltado so fast I forgot to take a picture, which tells you everything you need to know. My Peruvian buddy gave this place his full stamp of approval, which carries a lot of weight. During happy hour the oysters topped with Leche de Tigre foam are only two dollars each. I usually prefer oysters pure or with a simple mignonette, but the Leche de Tigre foam was a genius and refreshing touch. I would have kept ordering more, but I wanted to pace myself and explore the rest of the menu.

Exceptional food and menu. We did the tasting menu and every single item was superb. Don’t sleep on this place/ best Peruvian food. We returned! Didn’t do the tasting menu and we were again super impressed. We ordered ceviche, sushi, Mac and cheese lomo WHICH WAS AMAZING and Arroz con mariscos which is better than a paella. Also don’t sleep on the churros at the end. Chefs kiss!

Pacha Nikkei completely exceeded our expectations. We went as a big group and ordered a wide variety of dishes, and every single plate that came out was flawless. Not just delicious, beautifully presented and generous portions. I ordered the Arroz con Mariscos and it was absolutely outstanding! Rich, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. One of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. Would I go back? I’m already dreaming about the Elixir de Tigre. Highly recommend!

Shout-out to one of our favorite places to dine: Pacha Nikkei in the Westchase District. This Peruvian-Japanese fusion spot never misses. We ordered the tasting menu, and every bite was excellent. Our favorite dish, the Elixir de Tigre ceviche, was not on the tasting menu, but we had been craving it for weeks, so we added it. Worth it. My husband ordered the Wagyu Old Fashioned, which was well balanced and not overpowering. I always order the Chilcano. It is light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. The staff is consistently kind and attentive. We have had the same bartender twice, once during restaurant week and again last night, and he was outstanding. He walked us through each course and advised us on when to enjoy the extra ceviche for the best experience. He was right. I do not write many restaurant reviews, but this place deserves the love. A true gem in Westchase.

Wonderful food with huge portions. It was so tasty I could not stop eating. It's a lovely place. Our server was nice, but so quiet. We had to tell him to speak up several times. The other staff was not so quiet and they were very helpful. The mac and beer was soooo good. And the seafood was amazing. The gyiza frita was very tasty. The Kaisen Ramen had wonderful flavors. The Arroz con Maricos was perfect. They had nice beer choices and cocktails. The best part was the churros. OMG!!! They were filled and they had this amazing chocolate sauce to dip in. Sooooo yummy!!!
