"Valerie and Nando Chang, the first brother-sister duo named James Beard Award Rising Star Chef of the Year semifinalists, have joined forces with their father, Fernando “Papa” Chang, to bring Nikkei-inspired cuisine to life. Nestled within a 4,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor establishment, their restaurant boasts an impressive menu of Japanese-Peruvian fusion dishes. Don’t miss the standout tiraditos or the inventive ceviches such as La Punta, featuring tuna, salsa verde, tostones, and leche de tigre blanca. The sushi bar specials and banadito rolls, a tiradito and sushi roll mash-up, are also not to be missed." - Juliana Accioly
