Papa San

Juan Correa and chef Erik Ramirez's latest, Papa San, continues to tell the tale of its sister restaurants (Llama Inn and Llama San). The story? The fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine known as Nikkei. Now, they are sharing their story at Hudson Yards. Papa San leans more into the casual nature of izakayas in a space that exudes a casual cool with concrete walls, plants that hang from the ceiling and a sleek neon light fixture that reads "Papa San" that circles the bar. You'll want to come with a few friends to try all things shareable, be it the warm Blue Crab Maki roll encased in a bouncy, tempura crust and the mushroom-heavy Eel Pizza that almost encourages you to devour it, as the heap of bonito flakes on top waves you in. Buenos Aires-based punk bar Tres Monos took over the bar here, shaking sake with garlic and mango and crowning martinis with heady passionfruit foams.
