Fantastic food, excellent service and great atmosphere. We tried a variety of items including the spicy pisco cocktail, ceviche, arroz chaufa, yucca, flan and seasoned beef. Everything was amazing. The meat in particular was tender and the seafood didn’t have that fishy smell. The sauce that went with the yucca was unlike any other I’ve had in the Twin Cities.
I absolutely loved how the waitress described the history of the name of the store and the different fusion dishes. Presentation was top notch. You knew everything was going to taste good, just by the effort they put into making it look appetizing.
Good location in Hopkins, right on Main Street with plenty of parking nearby.

Decided to try this place out with a group of friends. This place is a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant, which is actually based off the large Japanese immigrant population that migrated to Peru and developed its own unique dishes. We sampled a variety of dishes including the tuna sashimi, yellowtail collar, as well as the Aji de Gallina. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. It was honestly at the level of the popular sushi restaurants like Billy sushi. Every dish was seasoned to perfection, and was well balanced with good portions. They also had a good selection of drinks varying from a wide sake selection, to the Peruvian national cocktails called pisco sours. Definitely a unique experience that is worth the visit.

Everything was spectacular!
The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful with suggestions of what to order.
The sushi was fresh and we had the most generous portions of nigiri.
My favorite bites were the Causa Nikkei and ceviche topped with calamari.
I still think about the Pisco sours, the most tasty and unique drinks!
We had the Peruvian pudding for dessert and it was perfectly velvety and smooth without being too decadent.
Definitely will be going again!

We visited for my husband’s birthday and the experience did not disappoint. The food was top notch, the service was so attentive and kind, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I didn’t get photos of our Pisco Sours but they were soooo good too.
Ranking of the food we ordered:
1. Ceviche – still drooling over this one. So bright and citrusy, bursting with flavor. Well balanced in textures. My husband drank the juice off the plate if that tells you anything about how delicious it was.
2. Bluefin Tuna Tiradito – I could’ve eaten 3 platefuls of this. The sauce it was in was delicious and the tuna was so tender and melted in our mouths. I need it again and again please.
3. Mancora Roll – another hard hitter with flavor and the fish was soooo good together. It worked so well and I would absolutely order it again.
4. Chutoro Nigiri – love a fatty fish that melts in your mouth – not fishy at all. I wished it had some sort of small garnish to accentuate the flavor further but that’s it.
5. Escolar Nigiri – same notes as the Chutoro on the garnishes but very clean finish. We used some of the ponzu sauce from the Yellowtail Cheek dish to dip it in and that gave it some zing.
6. Yellowtail Cheek – it was cooked very well but sadly lacked flavor. Desperately needed some salt/seasoning on the fish itself. It was still tasty but probably the least likely dish for us to order again.
Had the best time here and will definitely be back. Might bring some friends with us so we can sample even more of the menu together! Definitely recommend this spot 🙂

Wonderful establishment. The staff are genuinely friendly and the food is excellent. The sushi was fresh and well prepared, and the mains we ordered were equally impressive. The only criticism I can give is that the chicken Kushiyaki was a bit too expensive for what you get.
A big plus is the restrooms, which were very clean and actually pleasant to use. Far too many restaurants overlook this.
My only tip would be to dine in at around 5:30pm, as it can become quite loud and busy by about 6:30pm.

My first time trying Peruvian food and I am officially hooked! We visited K’kinaco and the experience was 10/10. I might have over-ordered, but it was worth it to try the variety (and the leftovers are amazing!).
We had the Shishito Peppers, the Inka Roll, and the Udon Saltado. For a drink, you have to try the Passionfruit (Maracuya) Pisco Sour—so refreshing! Our waitress was wonderful; she was so accommodating and took the time to explain what the Peruvian sauce was and gave us perfect recommendations. Definitely coming back!

Atmosphere was clean and beautiful and our server was excellent. We ordered the lomo saltado, yucca fries, ceviche, and the chalaco roll. The meat in the lomo saltado was tender and cooked to perfection. Yucca fries were wonderful but the sauce to accompany it was a little on the bland side. The chalaco roll was the highlight of the meal! Our desserts were heavenly, the flan thick and creamy but the suspiro de limeña was a showstopper – creamy, caramely, and the cream to accompany it was sweet and crunchy. I could have easily devoured 3 more.
I did order a flight of Pisco, which I did not realize would be hard liquor and not similar to wine (which was absolutely my bad ) our waiter was so sweet and remade the remainder of the liquor into chicha sours, which were refreshing, sweet, and tangy.
