I love fusions and this one did not disappoint. Nikkei of Peru in Port Clinton was worth the train ride from NYC. It delivers an unforgettable dining experience (sit at the counter) where Peruvian tradition meets Japanese flavors. The service is warm, attentive, but not overbearing. The flavors are bold, vibrant, and deeply layered every single bite was divine! Bursting with flavor.
I recommend you ask for the specials and definitely order the following:
1.Classic Peruvian Ceviche – Bright, fresh, citrus-forward, and perfectly balanced.
2. Lychee Martinis-I had 2 juicy well balanced smooth
3. Wagyu Beef Tacos-these were a special! Tender bursting with flavor, easy to eat one bite
4. Port Washington Signature Sushi Roll – Beautifully crafted, creative, and packed with fresh flavor a little crunch on top! Perfection
5. Lobster Rolls-the bun is enough to make you dance! Crispy on the outside soft and buttery on the inside
6. Roasted Chicken*** you have never had chicken so packed with seasoning, crispy on the outside, a hint of lemon so delicious
Nikkei of Peru is not too far from NYC it hits every note: flavor, presentation, service, and ambiance. A true gem in Port Clinton (which is adorable town ) and absolutely worth a return visit.

One of the gems of the Port Washington culinary scene. Always lively, you are bound to run into someone you know. Good for a nice family dinner, date night or whatever you need. The sushi menu is creative and tasty – and they were very flexible when I asked to substitute one roll for another in the sushi dinner. The location is great – nice outdoor seating with a water view and ample (but tight) indoor seating. Plenty of parking in the stop n shop lot. If you haven’t eaten here yet, you should.

Best sushi in port Washington- Definitely my new go to. I ordered the Port Washington roll and Titanic roll and they were absolutely decadent. My father ordered the sushi special and he was shocked with how tasty and uniquely crafted each nigiri was. This plate is something you’d order at a NYC Omakase for 10x the price. My mother got the spicy lemon shrimp and was absolutely obsessed with it.
We started with the crispy rice ( just like nobu) shisito peppers and the yellowtail jalepeno. Simply delicious.

Nice decor, a bit dark depends on your mood. The staff is great and very patience to explain everything. The cuts of sashimi are very fresh and fatty. It’s a good fusion of Japanese and Peruvian styles. It’s a bit pricey but worth the money!

Very interesting blend of tastes! The lamb chops were probably my favorite. Unique flavors! The special rolls were a bit smaller than we’re used to, so had to order some extra food to get full, but overall we enjoyed the experience. The ambiance is dark and romantic. You’re also right across from the water which is nice. Would recommend!

A very nice and cozy restaurant. It’s next to the water. We went at night and it’s winter; so we couldn’t tell if there were any views . However; I’m sure that in the Spring/Summer it adds to the atmosphere in some capacity.
They offer an interesting blend of Peruvian and Japanese dishes on the menu. In addition, there is a small but nice sake selection as well.
I really enjoyed the lamb chops and brussel spouts appetizers. The miso soup was good as well. I liked the scallops, but there was too much going on in terms of flavors. Next time I would order the Chilean Sea Bass that my wife had. This was very delicious. As for the dessert, my loved her churros!
The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Overall a good experience.

BEWARE: ANYONE with a food allergy:
Tonight I placed an online order and at home, DESPITE me writing VERY clearly in the “instructions,” not to put pepper on the chicken, there was pepper sprinkled over both orders of the chicken dinner. Does the Saturday night chef NOT take food allergies seriously? This is extremely concerning. I tried to call and the guy who answered the phone would not put his manager on and claimed he “didn’t know his managers name,” when asked. How rude AND unprofessional. I will be speaking to the manager tomorrow. Thank God it wasn’t someone with a severe allergy, because this chef doesn’t take notes written seriously, which could really hurt someone, sadly.
You need to do better than this, Nikkei. This is NOT good and could be dangerous to someone.

Nice sushi restaurant with decent sushi and nice ambiance. Dishes are pretty pricy and relatively small. It the ceviche, oyster bay roll, gramercy roll, bigeye spicy tuna roll, and the inspiration sushi and sashimi platters. The sashimi were large slabs which were very soft and good. Rolls were good but a little on the small size. Cerviche was pretty tiny and large pieces of fish. Overall everything was good and would return. Oh also got some sake which was really good!
