"A must-have: the acevichado, a roll stuffed with shrimp and avocado, then doused in a house-made mayo infused with ceviche broth. Your brain will tingle."

"Venerated Japanese superchef Nobu Matsuhisa once co-owned this sushi bar. Its new location is posh and atmospheric. Diners come to try some of the most spectacular sashimi."

"The sushi chefs shout out a greeting as you enter the teak-floored dining room of this San Isidro standout. One of the best Japanese restaurants in town, Matsuei specializes in sashimi."

"Tiradito – similar to sashimi but served in a spicy sauce – is the happy offspring of this culinary marriage."

"Lima is every seafood lover’s paradise. There is a special place in this city for sushi lovers. Make sure you try the acevichado roll!"

"Lima is every seafood lover’s paradise. There is a special place in this city for sushi lovers. A hearty population of Japanese immigrants along with a steady supply of high-quality fresh catch (Peru is home to one of the world’s biggest fishing industries) means that great sushi abounds in the Peruvian capital. Matsuei is one of the best sushi joints in the city."

"Try the restaurant’s signature roll the “acevichado”. This is the roll that started the Nikkei culinary revolution half a century ago and is still the city’s most popular derivation of a traditional maki, available at almost every sushi bar in the city."
on Maki
"Japanese-cuisine purists, especially sashimi aficionados, will feel more comfortable at Matsuei than at the more fusion-heavy restaurants. The fish is fresh, and I’ve seen some impressive knife-work. Matsuei’s trademark is a unique thick-cut on their sashimi. The tuna and salmon-belly are served in slices that are about twice as thick as your typical slice of sashimi."

"No visit to Lima’s best restaurants would be complete without the greatest sushi bar in Peru and probably South America. Around for almost 30 years and still going strong, the restaurant was founded by Nobuyuki Matsushisa."
