    We absolutely loved Sur Barra Nikkei! Truly a delightful experience. Fabulous combination of Peruvian and Asian flavors. Inventive cocktails utilizing ingredients like sesame oil and wasabi powder. Crazy, but it worked. Delicious tirados, cerviches, & a great dessert of both dark and light sesame ice cream surrounding a matcha tea tart. Best dinner in San Juan. We will definitely be back next year.

    The restaurant was beautiful and the food lived up to the name of the place but the most impressive part of the experience for me was the service. Marimar was very attentive concerning my allergies, kind and very professional through the entire experience that made it all the more enjoyable. Definitely coming back and suggesting Sensory to all my friends.

    Great overall experience. Our waitress was indeed great and treated us amazingly well. Only mishap was the manager who refused to seat us on a 4 chair table when there weren’t any other guests in the restaurant. He could’ve remove two seats from the table and offered it to us who were just trying to avoid direct AC vents. He ended up seating another couple later on the same table. Other than that, the service, food and ambiance is amazing.
