You guys have an amazing location, a fantastic rooftop view, and a really interesting Japanese-Peruvian concept. That’s exactly why the food was so disappointing. With everything this place has going for it, I expected much more.
I wouldn’t say the food was bad. It wasn’t. We ate, we were full, and overall it was okay. But there was absolutely no wow factor.
We ordered three different rolls — with crab, scallops, shrimp — and somehow they all tasted almost the same. One had a little crunch from the tempura, but other than that, there was surprisingly little difference in flavor. Mostly rice with a hint of seafood. For three different rolls with very different ingredients, that was disappointing.
The wasabi was another strange part. It was dry, almost crumbly, and had practically no flavor or heat. The soy sauce was the opposite — so salty that even a tiny amount completely overpowered the sushi. And the ginger was sweet and mild, without that fresh, slightly sharp bite that normally cleans your palate between pieces.
The frustrating part is that this place has so much going for it. The rooftop is beautiful, the view is fantastic, and the concept sounds exciting. But you can’t rely on the location and the view alone. The food needs to match the setting, and for us, it simply didn’t.
A solid 3 out of 5. Definitely not terrible, but not memorable either. I’m glad we tried it and enjoyed the view, but I don’t think I’d come back for the food.
Absolutely delicious food at the rooftop. And spectacular view of the city. Will definitely return when I come back to town. I had the Lima Roll and the Kaiyo Roll. Both were so fresh and delicious. Oh and the Cesar Salad.... Wowow. The dressing is out of this world.
Beautiful location and a great spot for date night! Appreciated that they had a handful of vegan options to choose from. I liked the caterpillar roll but felt it could use a bit more flavor and same thing with the plantain chips with edamame dip. The yucca fries come with a cheese type dip I believe so we got some ketchup to make it vegan. Staff were kind and attentive but service was slower than anticipated due to the Valentine’s Day weekend. We really appreciated that our waiter didn’t charge us for one of the items we ordered that somehow got missed and we ended up having to wait a while for. Would definitely be back another time!
Bar service was great. Hostess could be more welcoming and pleasant. Food was excellent and the ambiance was as well. Can get loud and cool so be prepared for that.
Giovanna was our waitress, and she was great. She was very straightforward and so were we I told her what I wanted. She accommodated it and made it a special night. Great views above the city. Great sushi. Good drinks, nice heat lamps turned on on a cold night in December early January. We really liked our meal and drinks here. It was on the San Francisco 49er game night, so there was some fans in the building. But all in all not a bad place. Thanks again. Hyatt for having such a good restaurant and bar on top
