What Is Nikkei Cuisine?

Nikkei is the beautiful culinary collision between Japanese technique and Peruvian ingredients and boldness. It was born in Peru in the late 19th century, when Japanese immigrants brought their precision and discipline to a country of vibrant flavours, fresh citrus, and fierce chillies. The result is a cuisine unlike any other — delicate yet punchy, refined yet deeply soulful.

Bangkok’s First — and Finest

Above Eleven holds the distinction of being the first Nikkei restaurant in Bangkok, making it an essential stop for any food-curious traveler. This isn’t fusion for the sake of it. 

Every dish on the menu reflects genuine authority over the cuisine — from the ceviches with a Japanese twist to the signature Nikkei sushi rolls that have become the house favourites.

Start With the Sushi

For first-timers, the sushi is the perfect entry point. Light, beautifully composed, and designed to pair effortlessly with drinks, it captures the essence of Nikkei — familiar enough to be approachable, distinctive enough to surprise you.

Go Deeper With the Peruvian Menu

Beyond sushi, the Peruvian side of the menu deserves equal attention. Bold ceviches, tiraditos, and mains rooted in Peruvian tradition demonstrate just how far this cuisine goes beyond its Japanese half. For travelers wanting a genuine culinary adventure in Bangkok, this is it.
