Everything was amazing! The eclectic blend of Chinese, Japanese and Peruvian foods took my tastebuds on a world tour . I recommend the aeropuerto fried rice , nobu usuzukuri ceviche & lamb potstickers

Caitlin Lawler

Get the tasting menu , it's amazing and you get to try a bit of everything. Includes about 12 courses so it's definitely worth the price. All the pisco 's are delicious as well !

Parvathy Nair

This place is big with a really good feel to it. We decided to settle for some Aeropuerto fried rice ,Tuna Nigiri & California rolls which I'm sure to go back for. All well plated & delicious. 10/10 ❤️

Angela Tseng

Great service! Try all the non-alcoholic drinks--horchata was delish. I had the Lucky Shu Mai and the pork belly sandwich . Everything was delicious.

JK

Try Chupe de camarón , with Pacific wild shrimp , fresh cheese , choclo, rice , potato , and poached egg & Pulpo al olivo rosita yimura and botija olive-mayo, plus avocado

Jane Friedman

Loved the tasting menu - just pace yourself. It is a lot of food and you don’t have to clean your plate. Save room for the dessert that’s inevitably coming. ????

Yasaman Mahdian

A little on the pricey side but worth every penny! One of the best food experiences in D.C. Superb.

Jordyn

I'll admit, I was a little unsure when we walked in, but the food is incredible. It's pretty and delicious! Love love love the aji de gallina and pork potstickers .

Stephanie Hellerman

Ceviche , crunchy tuna roll , chicken skewers (perfect for your pickier eaters), beef stew , noodle and tomato dish. Fun, loud , true fusion atmosphere!

Washington Post

The long waits are worth it: Try out the terrific dim sum , a first-class pisco sour and the house signature seviche, Clásico la Mar. Read more

Tiffany Langston

Large space with an eclectic menu - sushi , ceviche and dim sum ? Oh my! Portions are smaller as you're meant to order several plates & share

Micah Chiles

Wide ranging menu, from traditional (pork dumplings ) to adventurous). Everything was on point, particularly the fried rice . Opt for cocktails vs large carafes

Washington Post

I’ve yet to meet a dumpling here I haven’t liked. Get the trio of juicy lamb pot stickers hiding beneath a lacy cover fried to a golden crisp. - Sietsema Read more

Sandra Rubinchik

Get one of the tasting menus and don't look back. The smallest comes with 8 colorful dishes and an additional 2 desserts .

Thaís Soares

Pricey , but SO, SO GOOD! The lomo saltado was incredible, the causa was simply delicious. One of the best culinary experiences I've had in DC.

Chris

Absolutely phenomenal offering from Jose Andre providing a fusion of delicious cuisines, well-mixed cocktails and excellent ambiente that won't break the bank .

Kian Lavi

Hands down the beat meal I got in DC. Try the tasting menu , you won’t regret it.

Mamadou Bah

The chicken stew was good. Yucca fries were great without bonito flakes . The flakes weren't necessary. Great quinoa . Great service! Aqua de loco was really great

Ashley R

One of Jose Andres ' best restaurants . Everything was innovative and delicious. Lamb dumplings and the Aeropuerto rice are awesome!

Isa Lara

My favorite is the Arroz aeropuerto! An amazing fried rice dish with fresh veggies snuck in there as a textural surprise

Carmen Chong

Great interpretation of fusion. Amazing dumplings and ceviche ! Interesting dessert options

David Smith

I like this fusion concept. We got a sushi roll thing that had a Chilean spiced fish that was really good

Lu H

The best lomo saltado I’ve never had!! Addictive! could not stop eating rice soaked with the sauce.

Suzannah Simmons

Ask for Jeremy to be your server and def try the Concolon , Uni, and Seco de Res. Plus they make an excellent pisco sour !

Washington Post

The latest from Jose Andres opens Jan. 5, 2015. Expect a blend of Peruvian, Japanese and Chinese. Read more

Amy Cummings

Here’s your perfect dinner for two: Chilcanos to drink, then split the pork buns , dim sum , and lomo saltado .

Hannah GM

Love the ceviches here! Visiting during truffle month was a real treat. Drinks are very good as well .

Matt Bernstein

Very fun atmosphere with interesting and tasty food. I really liked the pork buns and the birds nest dessert .

Rosie Henderson

Love all the flavors. So many favorites: aeropuerto, ensalada quinua, aji de gallina, concolon and pegao norteno.

Karl Berger

Peruvian fusion cuisine reimagined, beautifully prepared and presented. Superb ceviche clasico.

Bonus H.

dumpling sampler 21$ for 12.....and fish sandwich are awesome.

Isa Lara

Best pisco in DC. Also: get the dancing yucca . It’s so worth it!

Jeffrey

This dessert snail photographs great and is a great ending.

Shahrooz Shahandeh

The 2 types of ceviche and they were both amazing. The lamb dumplings were my favorite.

Emily Hummel

Pork dumplings ! Ceviche ! Pesco sours! Ají de Gallina! Everything! Was! Delicious!

Michael Green

Everything that Jose Andreas creates is pure gold. Peruvian meets Chinese and Japan.

Barbara Bilodeau

The Chaufa de pato (duck leg and fried rice ) was delicious!

Shiva Chandra

Even tho this is a mix of Asian and Peruvian, neither is done very well . The dim sums tasted indian...

Isa Lara

The California role with causa & huancaina sauce is a true original

Maryem

My favorite place ❤️

Mike the Elder

Good ceviche , order a pizco sour. If you have a sweet tooth ask for a Suspiro Limeño .

Katie Runyan

Lots of tables with last Susan's. Great for sharing food with a big group!

Sophia H

Pan con pollo was delicious. Mayo was great and high-quality

Ranya Khanoyan

Fun, hip atmosphere totally an amazing spot to go to.

Cusp25

Lamb potstickers - a crunchy lacy topping

Josh Young

Ceviche was good but not great. Dumplings didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. A little pricey for the portions. Good drinks

Justin Bogucki

Ceviche , fried rice , pork buns , and amazing deserts .

Angie Harmon

Not my favorite of Jose Andres ' restaurants . Dishes aren't as varied as I'd expect. Although the street food and dim sum were great!

Ilona de Heusch

Yuca Fries , Ceviches , Lomo Soltado (fave)!!!!????????
