Mission Ceviche Union Square

First time dining here and can't wait to return. There were so many ceviches to choose from but we went with the mixed seafood and everything was good especially in the tigers milk. The filet mignon roll gets torched tableside and was delicious. For our main we had the red snapper thats deboned in a sweet chili sauce and is designed to share. I tried the sweet plantains which were good but had too much goat cheese for my liking. I also tried the margarita al pastor which was a very interesting drink. The Penicillin was also very tasty and strong. I was too full for dessert,so maybe next time. Staff was very nice and our server Natalie was very helpful guiding us through the menu.

Jasmin our waitress was just awesome! She was attentive but not intrusive…perfect balance of what we appreciate. We have been looking for an elevated Peruvian restaurant for a while and are so happy we found this one. The food was so delicious we kept rolling our eyes and making “yum” sounds . To start we had the yuca fries, the seafood mix ceviche and the shrimp tempura. Let me just say, we would order all of those again without hesitation ! It’s important to note that the shrimp tempura has a kick(but we love that). For our main we had the filet dish (lomo saltado) and the tiger shrimp with noodles dish( Tallarín saltado). Both cooked to perfection and large portions. We passed on dessert due to being super full, but we went to the downstairs lounge for a couple drinks after and we love when restaurants have a lounge option. Having that helps keep the good vibe going when you’re having a nice night out. All in all, a great restaurant and experience…we most certainly will be back!

When I’m telling you everything was perfect…it was perfect! From the moment you walk in the ambience was incredible. The music was such a vibe. The host was really friendly sat us down pretty quick. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. The drinks were perfect not water down or too strong. The appetizers the food dessert were amazing and the food came out really quick. Overall, I’ll definitely be coming here again. It is worth the hype!! And they gave us free chicha morada sour shots ☺️

Absolutely in love with this place! Every visit feels like a little celebration. My husband and I come here often, and it never disappoints. The food is bursting with authentic flavors — you can truly taste the freshness and quality, especially in the seafood. Their ceviche is out of this world, the rolls are delicious, and I could rave forever about their variety of pisco sour — it’s the best I’ve ever had! The staff is warm and attentive, always making us feel welcome. The cocktails are creative and amazing, and the interior is stunning — stylish, cozy, and perfect for a great night out. They also have fantastic midweek specials, which makes it even more exciting to come back again and again. This place has our hearts. Highly recommend! 💛

Absolutely outstanding. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the quality was consistent from the first bite to the last. Alexandra took such great care of us—she was attentive, warm, and truly knowledgeable. Everything she recommended was excellent, and we loved trying the dishes she suggested. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Wonderful food and service!! This place is definitely upscale and the food shows for it. The only disappointment was the confusion of the “her hours”. If you’re interested in happy hour definitely call or do your research. I came here for my birthday and had inquired about the “her hours “ just to be at the bar and told otherwise. Aside from this mishap, the dining experience was really nice. As packed as it was I do wish the waitress would of checked on us a bit more but we were understanding because of how packed it was and she seemed to be the only one on our side tending to everyone. The location is absolutely beautiful and the ambiance is one for date night or just a nice night trying new dishes. If you’re big on extending your palette definitely give them a try.

Our Friday night dinner at Mission Ceviche in Union Square was an absolute treat from start to finish. The moment you walk in, the décor grabs your attention—soaring ceilings, maritime-inspired rope details, lush greenery, and striking Peruvian wall art set the tone for a vibrant and inviting dining experience. Our server, Ana, truly elevated the evening. She was professional, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about the ceviche selections. Patient with our many questions and always attentive, Ana made us feel genuinely welcomed—thank you for making our dinner superb! The menu is a thoughtful blend of ceviche, Asian-inspired fusion dishes, and crave-worthy appetizers and desserts. We started with the yucca frites, topped with Manchego cheese and a sprinkle of black truffle—crispy, indulgent, and impossible to stop eating. The guacamole with tostones, which has a pleasant spicy kick, was prepared tableside and added a fun, interactive touch. For our mains, we chose the classic ceviche and the seafood mixto ceviche, both bursting with fresh, layered flavors. The Tiger’s Milk base was beautifully balanced—bright, slightly tangy, and refreshing. We also tried the grilled branzino, which was cooked to perfection; the marinated spices enhanced the dish without overpowering the delicate fish. I ordered the Arroz Chaufa, a true Peruvian classic, and it did not disappoint. Flavorful and satisfying, the dish was elevated by small pieces of sweet plantains that added a lovely contrast. Dessert sealed the deal with the Choclo con Queso (sweet corn cake brûlée)—a unique and comforting finish that we’re still thinking about. Overall, Mission Ceviche delivers a fun, flavorful, and relaxed dining experience that invites you to explore new tastes. The staff was consistently attentive and courteous, and as a bonus, there’s a downstairs lounge—Sub Mission Lounge—perfect for post-dinner drinks. We’ll definitely be back.

Had the most wonderful lunch here. Great vibe. And the service was fantastic (special shout out to Jasmine and Emma) - knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming. We ordered one of the ceviches, the octopus dish, a sushi type of dish, and the tres leche cake. The cocktails are also AMAZING!! The next time I come I am going all in on the ceviches.

What a beautiful restaurant! The ambiance is nice, the food presentation is great and the taste was authentic. The menu is well indicated for allergies and the waitress was very helpful making recommendations. We were four people and shared a combination of appetizers and main dishes. We shred everything family style. I really enjoyed the classic ceviche. The truffadito was just ok, it was a bit disappointing, there wasn't anything special about it. The octopus was very nice but a bit tiny, you barely get any meat in there. It is served with crispy potatoes. The guac was good, but way over priced for what you get. $21 for average guac and a tiny portion. The two sushi tolls were nice (tuna and filet mignon). The arroz con mariscos was very good. I'm curious to try the chauffa next time. The lomo saltado was perfect. They actually use gluten free soy sauce for it, that was a nice plus. We almost ordered a second one but got full by then.

We visited Mission Ceviche Union Square for dinner, having made a reservation in advance. The decor inside was gorgeous for the holiday season. They had beautiful garlands and ornaments hanging around the bar, and a whole display of hanging plants in the middle of the restaurant. We arguably got the worst seat in the house (first little table by the door/host stand), but it was still nice enough. For drinks, I ordered a glass of Malbec and my sister got the Harajuku Girl cocktail. Both were fantastic! The Harajuku Girl was especially well-crafted, with a strong passionfruit flavor. What I wasn't impressed with was unfortunately our server. First, he gave my partner a hard time about not ordering alcohol. Then, when we ordered our food to share, he told us it wasn't enough for the three of us. When we asked what else he would recommend, he just listed off the three most expensive items on the menu. I told him we could just order more if we were still hungry, and he told me no - this was the "last and only chance" to put in food. We didn't appreciate the upsell tactics, especially at an already pricy restaurant. He also didn't come back to check on us after that, until it was time to pay. The food items we ordered were the Ceviche Nikkei, Lima Roll, Lomo Saltado, and Sweet Plantains. The Ceviche Nikkei was tasty but tiny and tasted more like a crudo than ceviche I've tried before. The fish was pretty fresh though. The Lima Roll was alright, but pretty forgettable. I usually love Peruvian sushi, but this one was nothing special. The Lomo Saltado here was also not my favorite. I'm used to this dish being more of a stir fry with veggies, but this was basically a piece of steak in soy sauce. What really redeemed all the other items were the Sweet Plantains. They were perfectly cooked with goat cheese nata on top, and the sweet/salty combination was incredible. Overall, this expensive dinner didn't blow me away, but I did love the drinks, plantains, and ambiance.

Went to Mission Ceviche Union Square for a group event. We were originally supposed to be in the basement Sub-Mission cocktail lounge, but due to a miscommunication, we ended up in the main restaurant instead. The staff handled the situation very well and was extremely accommodating. Our group was around 15-20 people. We started at the long bar right by the entrance for drinks, then moved to tables toward the back of the restaurant near the kitchen. We were given a large round table that comfortably fit about 10-12 people, plus an additional table nearby. While most of the group did not order food, the staff remained very attentive with drink service throughout the night. Despite the restaurant being quite full, it was still easy to hold conversation. The space itself is beautifully designed, with layered textures, greenery, and bold colors that make it visually engaging and feel elevated without being stuffy. I did not eat this time, but the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled excellent. I have eaten at the Upper East Side location before and had a good experience. I ordered a pisco sour, which was very well made, though cocktails are on the pricier side at around $19. They do offer happy hour, but we unfortunately missed it. Overall, this is a great Union Square spot for elevated drinks or a polished dinner, and it works surprisingly well for larger groups given how attentive and flexible the staff was.

Bunch of friends got together for lunch. It's a huge beautifully decorated restaurant, originally sat in the middle but we asked to move our table to the booth because of cold air. (Definitely cozier!) The food was amazing combination of Peruvian and Japanese, well done. But unfortunately branzino and chicken were overcooked. Our waitress never repeated what we ordered so we weren't sure if she got all of our orders right but she did. The prices of lunch special recently went from $35 to $45. If you want to include the drinks(average $15), need to make sure you're ready to spend money. (Our bill came out over $80/each for sharing an appetizer, lunch special, a drink, tax and tip)

Super fun atmosphere and good food! My friends and I came here knowing that it would be a lively vibe and it definitely didn't disappoint! The service was definitely a little off though - I called an hour before my reservation to ask to add a person which they did but then they could find it when I got to the restaurant and didn't believe I had a reservation until I showed them it on my phone. Then our server seemed friendly at first but then as the night kept going he got progressively more awkward and would bring out dishes at the wrong time for when we asked for them. I got the pineapple sour (9/10) good and not really sweet! My friend got the chicha sour which was more savory and my friend really liked it but it wasn't my favorite! We shared: Seafood mixto ceviche (9/10) tasted fresh! Tuna tartare (10/10) lots of flavor I just wish there was more cracker Brussel sprouts (10/10) crispy and delicious Octopus antichuchero (10/10) my favorite dish! Lomo saltado (6/10) it was alright, super salty and the steak was a little overcooked and the potatoes weren't great Tallarin saltado (9/10) I really liked the flavors of this one! Overall fun vibe, okay service, super expensive!

10/10 ambience, makes you feel like you're someplace tropical and warm The food was so delicious, probably one of the best ceviches I've had in my life. Would be excited to come back for their happy hour

I was here for a business luncheon. The interior is gorgeous and spacious which can be a rarity in NYC, The service was prompt and friendly. Since this was a business lunch for a small group choices were pre determined by the organizer with the exception of the drinks. We had the following Mahi Mahi - Rocoto Tiger's Milk - Corn - Sweet Potato - Fried Plantains Yellowfin Tuna - Citrus Ponzu Tiger's Milk - Tomatillo - Pickled Daikon YUCA FRIES Grilled Spanish Octopus - Chimichurri - Shrimp Tempura - Mahi Mahi Tartare mazamorra morada Cocktails I ordered the following WITCH HUNTER #2 - Blue Notes Bourbon, Pisco 100, Cuzqueña Reduction, Plum Bitters, Smoked With Palo Santo HARAJUKU GIRL - Lighthouse Gin, Passion Fruit & Yuzu Juice, Vanilla Velvet Falernum

The food was Exelent the service was very friendly the help you with the menu. The restaurant very clean.

Great service , food was incredibly delicious, drinks were great and ambiance was amazing

We sat at the bar and they had happyhour, more bang for your buck that way. Love the staffs and everyone was very nice. Ok tostones but portion size was so small. Guacamole was nice and chunky creamy, and we also had shrimp tempura, spicy mayo was very good. Dessert chirimoya mousse was good but I would go back to try the tres leche cake. Kale salad was nice with candied pecans and dried cranberries. Nice bathroom stalls individually locked and contains sink in each, good paper towels.

Absolutely amazing from the moment we all walked in to the moment that we left! Impeccable service, vibe, music and knowledge! Our servers suggestions were spot on and the star of tonight was absolutely the red snapper! I will dream about this dish but more importantly be back for it (amongst others) If you have the opportunity to go to Mission Ceviche RUN don't walk! Be sure to visit sub mission downstairs after for an end cap

Came here for dinner recently after I've visited the UES location in the past and was so impressed! The vibes and ambiance of this location is gorgeous and a lot more bright and airy which I really enjoyed. The service was excellent as the staff was patient with us and never made us feel rushed which was really nice. All of the fish is so fresh (we got a ceviche, a roll, and the branzino) and extremely flavorful. The menu is huge so definitely recommend coming in a bigger group so you can try everything!

As background info, my wife and I have been to the Upper East side and the Union Square location about 5 times in the last year. We love the Upper East side location not only since the ambiance allowed for one to talk as compared with the much louder music at Union Square. Between the two location there is also a slight difference in the menu and flavor, certain items we tried at UES is not available at USq. Furthermore, even for the classic ceviche that dish seemed to be better at UES. Nonetheless the USq location is much closer to us. This time a friend and I had a few drinks (pisco sour with passion fruit always a winner) and ordered the classic ceviche, yuca fries, grilled octopus, and the king crab special. The server had described the king crab and it sounded good as either an appetizer or dinner. I specifically ordered the appetizer portion. NOTE that the server did not give a price for the special. As per our usual experience, the ceviche was ok, but the grilled octopus and fries were the stand out. I kept wondering why the king crab was not out earlier since it was to be the appetizer. It winded up to be the last item served and by then we figured the server had heard us wrong; nonetheless, we went with the flow. The server instructed us to take the crab out and make sure to eat it with the sauce. From the photo one can see there was around 1 and 1/2 pieces of king crab leg. We removed the crab meat and swipe the sauce and found the sauce to have been SO SUPER SALTY. Yet knowing how expensive it was going to be (just guessing since the server never gave us and unfortunately we were stupid enough to not ask the price) we ate it despite it being practically inedible -- even with the starch underneath it it was still super salty! When the check came I saw the price for that crab was $125. WOW! If it was good maybe I wouldn't had been so disappointed but a rip it was. Lesson learned. From hereon no specials and stick with the UES location. It would have helped too had the server informed us the price for the dish (and or possibly confirmed our choices after we ordered -- especially seeing how expensive it was). Overall, despite it taking a bit longer for the server to take our orders the other servers were great with our drinks and refilling of water. I just wished that management would assist all servers in the points made in the previous paragraph to make one's dining experience here better.

Finally made it to Mission Ceviche after so many attempts! Every time I came to NYC, I was too busy to stop by--but today I finally made it, and it was absolutely worth it. I came around 4PM just for some bites and everything was amazing. Ordered the ceviche mixto, octopus anticuchero, and the guacamole--all incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The service was excellent (thank you, Esteban!), and the place is clean, neat, and inviting. Everything about this restaurant feels just right. Can't wait to come back for a full meal!

I was really looking forward to trying Mission Ceviche, and I finally made it there on Friday, 11/28. My partner and I sat at the bar and ordered pisco sours. While enjoying our drinks, I couldn't help but notice a serious sanitation issue. The bartender preparing drinks for the dining room was making pisco sours and using a dropper to create a design on top of each drink. After every use, instead of wiping or sanitizing the dropper properly, he repeatedly cleaned it with his index finger. He never used a napkin or any sanitary method. As someone who holds a food license, I know this is considered cross-contamination and completely unsanitary. It's disappointing to see this type of behavior still happening in our Latin restaurants. Management needs to step up and provide proper training to their staff. I ultimately chose not to eat there, which was very disappointing because I had been excited to visit this place for a long time. Train your staff. We see everything. (17TH STREET LOCATION)

Really hate leaving bad reviews but what my wife and I experienced during service on 11/7/25 was ultimately disappointing. As a Peruvian, I always joke you can either get good food and bad service, or good service and bad food. We were both excited to try this place and I cancelled my original reservation at Scarpetta to try this place. We were sat the lounge area, early dinner 4pm; a couple of other patrons also there, 3 couples at best, the rest of the restaurant was being decorated for an event starting at 7; to the decorators, you did a beautiful job! Ordered drinks, apps & entrees, the chicha morada sour was mid, no real chicha taste, but the apps: ceviche mixto; octopus antichucherro and yucca huancaina were all great. After our table was cleared, put in another round of drinks, no sign of entrees, the restaurant was well staffed and all hands were on deck in decorating for the event, moving chairs, fraternizing by this point we were 1 of 2 couples in the restaurant so no real reason to go unattended for as long as we did. Finally the manager informed us our entrees were coming out shortly and offered us a round of drinks, my wife frustrated yet courteous let him know if they were booked they could have refused our reservation and it was awkward sitting there during their setup, response was "I know, thats why I'm offering you the drinks" These drinks were avg at best, $22 ish a round of $22 drinks does not compensate for the awkwardness, and when the entrees came out the egg in my wife's tallarin was not fully cooked and my lomo did not have any potatoes. At this point we just didnt want to stay any longer, ate paid and left. Total damage was around $350; to management, there are many dining options in NY on your instagram you boast Michelin guide, your food is good, your service kind of sucked. Do better.

Gorgeous restaurant and an amazing pre fixe lunch menu! It's $35 for an appetizer, main, and dessert. -I got the classic ceviche, and the tiger's milk that was served as the sauce was absolutely delicious. -The tallarin saltado, which is a chifa (Peruvian Chinese) dish, was a good balance of familiar and unique flavors. -The chirimoya mousse and berries dessert is so good. I'm not a dessert person at restaurants, but I can have like three of these Service is slow, but they asked us if we had a time constraint beforehand so it was fine with us to have a leisurely lunch. David, our server, was attentive and friendly and explained each dish and they came.

Came here because we were able to secure a table for a party of 8 with fairly short notice. Overall, food is fairly good, but some of the portions are quite stingy for the price. In particular, one of the ceviche dishes was tiny. Unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it basically consisted of around 6 small pieces of tuna sashimi and very little else. Was more like an appetizer. Service was fine but on the slow side.

The ambiance of this place is so cool, and they have Christmas decorations up right now, which I always appreciate! We started with some margaritas which were nice and strong. Our waitress, Destiny, was great and walked us through everything on the menu as it was our first time in. We started with their most popular ceviche and added rock shrimp. The broth was delicious, but I felt like there were only 2 pieces of shrimp in the entire bowl, and it only came with 4 plantain chips for scooping. We shared two sushi rolls, one with a seared wagyu and one with tuna, which was definitely our favorite. The wagyu roll was good but super smoky, so just keep that in mind if ordering! We shared the short ribs and mashed potatoes, and they were good but still didn't blow me away. The tres leches cake, however, was incredible!! Everything was pretty expensive as well, so I'm not sure I'm running to go back but I'm glad I tried it!

Delicious!!!!! Came here for lunch with some friends on a Sunday afternoon and I was stunned by how beautiful the space is! Wasn't super busy so service was great and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Have been to the UES location before and loved it so was excited to come back. Ordered the seafood mixto, toro roll, salmon tartare, yuca fries, and guacamole & tostones to start! All were amazing but I think the salon tartare was my favorite. Ordered the arroz chaufa for my main and that was delish! If you want fresh ceviche and amazing atmosphere, you must check this place out!

Love this location . Feels more elevated than the one uptown . Wonderful cocktails and delicious ceviche

Mission Ceviche was amazing! The ambience and the service were wonderful. Our server Adriana was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some great suggestions. Service was quick and friendly. We got the table side avocado appetizer. For our entrees we got the Beef Short Rib which was delicious as well as the chicken stew. We got the goat cheese plantains for our side dish. We were so full and had enough for leftovers. We were in and out in a hour. I love that you can pay your bill at the table. We will definitely return.

The decor is gorg upon gorg, but as is usually the case when you come to a gorgeous, ultra-trendy spot in a popular Manhattan neighborhood, the things that matter are a letdown. First, be prepared to spend. This restaurant never met a Peruvian dish it couldn't quadruple in price. The irony, considering how cheap food is in actual Peru (or at least it was when I backpacked through there back in the 2007). Then, be prepared to be disappointed by the flavors. We started with the Classic and Seafood Mixto ceviches to start--because they have to do these well if they're naming their restaurant after the dish, right? Well, the Classic was too tart, and the Mixto lacked tiger's milk, and both were just so laughably small and under-portioned it was like looking at the final scene of an ocean pollution PSA. Our Lomo Saltado was even worse. Too much soy, not enough steak, and the worst part...THEY DIDN'T STIR FRY THE FRENCH FRIES IN! The fries were served separately, and I guess we were supposed to mix then in according to how soggy we wanted them? That's nice and all, but the point of Lomo Saltado is to mix the meat and potatoes together so the fries can absorb all that delicious, meaty, soy-y flavor. But then, Mission Ceviche also served weird, thick, steak fries with their Saltado, which isn't really the kind that's traditionally used. Miss all around. Our best dish was the Aji de Gallina, which was well-cooked and seasoned, but came in too small a portion to pass for an entree. Also, a note on service and pacing: We were okay at the ceviche stage, but it took nearly half an hour to get our entrees. Not sure why, considering the restaurant was only one-third full, but we never even got an apology from our server, much less any form of compensation. I don't know why Manhattan restauranteurs feel the need to "elevate" Peruvian food so much when the real deal is so much better, but that's privilege for you, I guess. There's a plethora of fancy, trendy, $40+ per entree Peruvian spots on the island--I'd give this one a pass.

Top restauran merecennuna estrella micheline, muy buena combinacion japonesa y peruana de lo mejor las salsas super y sobre todo la seleccion del chef

We came here for a lunch. This place felt bright and grand upon walking in. It was decently busy, but only one waitress. Took her forever to give us water and take orders. I felt bad for her, so notes for the management - hire more ppl during lunch hours. Don't overwork existing one staff. Now let's talk about food. We both got the lunch prix fix, so we had classic ceviche, Nikkei ceviche, king salmon, and branzino. Ceviches were delicious - perfectly balanced flavors between spiciness, tartness, and sweetness. Salmon was overcooked, but skin was crispy and flavors were there. Branzino was on point, and the sauce balanced the fish very well. For dessert, I thought the chirimoya mousse was delicious (I'm using delicious a lot here). There's some flavored ice on top that's sweet and tart, mousse at the bottom was creamy and working very well with the topping. Overall I'd say a solid 5 star establishment, minus one for lack of enough staff.

Mission Ceviche is most Peruvian and mostly delicious. It has an upscale vibe which are reflected in the prices as well. However, the ceviches are reasonably priced. I decided to splurge and get the braised short rib which was seasoned well and very tender. My short rib dish was beautifully presented with an edible garnish. Service was pleasant.

I came here in December for my birthday and I was blown away! The food was absolutely delicious! A perfect way of celebrating Peruvian food done in a fine dining experience. The service was wonderful and super friendly! I loved the special touches to make me feel special on my birthday! The ambiance is very welcoming and glamorous. I cannot wait to go back and even check out their OG location.

Stopped by on accident for a little appetizer before our actual dinner. We ended getting a table side ceviche service. It was phenomenal. Serves 2-4 people which was perfect. Everything included was incredible. We ended up getting espressotinis in their speakeasy bar below the restaurant. The vibes were everything! I would definitely go back for dinner and another cocktail in their speakeasy.

Walked in around 6:30pm and was seated shortly after being seen. The longue was very crowded which made the first few hours of being seated next to the lounge very loud and unbearable to chat with my partner right in front of me. When drinks finally hit the table they fell flat with not sense of sweetness to them. It was very disappointing start. The food starters were a great start though! I loved how filling the Jalea was with its beautifully fried yuca. The ceviche wasn't so exciting in flavor. Definitely fell flat like the Lomo that wasn't traditional and didn't have the right flavor you'd expect from a Lomo Saltado. We cancelled our last dish because of the disappointment but mine second round of drinks we're enjoyable. They do not do Pisco Sours well here.

Nice comfortable modern space. Service was solid. Started with scallop in shell melted Parmesan delicious. Tuna Tataki amazing. Octopus ceviche not great very tough and chewy. Crab meat tasty. Didn't order a main course so look forward to a second visit. Would have given this spot a 4.5 if I could.

Took my wife for birthday dinner and mission ceviche didn't disappoint. The interior is modern but comfortable and relaxing. Not overcrowded with interesting decor (loved fish decor made of tiny fish cutouts). Service was good and professional. But the star was the food. Food was excellent We had 2 ceviches and both were outstanding. Nikkei ceviche had fresh tuna in fragrant broth - very refreshing. Seafood mix ceviche was delicious with complex flavors. Octopus main was very good and plenty of octopus for two people. Also had yucca fries - starchy and in a very tasty sauce. And plantains with goat cheese which were amazing - sweetness of plantains balanced with saltiness of melted goat cheese. Cocktails were also very good and Pisca sour matched well against all the food flavors. Highly recommend!!!

came here with a friend for lunch on a sunday and we were able to be seated quickly with no reservation. the interior is gorgeously decorated and the general ambiance is classy but not overly upscale. service overall was friendly and prompt, with a great staff. between the two of us we decided to share the ceviche tasting. each dish had a diverse and unique flavor profile (our favorite being the pulpo al olivo, the octopus one -- the others were also good, just thought the classic was a little one note and the nikkei was slightly too sour for our tastes). would say 8/10. we also had the guacamole as a starter -- guacamole itself was delicious, and i thought the tostones were lightly seasoned to a good level (although texture wise a little too soft to be paired with the guacamole). came with a table side preparation which was fun to watch, 9/10. lastly, we chose the seco norteno (slow braised short ribs) to split as our main. beautifully tender and easy to tear apart, in addition to being flavored, seasoned, and sauced generously, 10/10. overall a great experience, would love to come back to try the rest of the menu since everything sounded good!

We came today for lunch to try the new location of one of our favorite seafood restaurants in New York. We had an overall good experience and most of the things that we ordered resembled the flavor, size and presentation from the original location that we love so much. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the seafood rice. It was very different and much more smaller than the one in their UES location which we had 2 weeks ago. UES seafood rice has changed a lot since 2021 and 2022 because it no longer comes with octopus, mussels and giant shrimp, but today's seafood rice was even worst. Consistency is something customers expect over time and across multiple locations if the name of a dish remains the same in the menu and the price continues to go up. The waitress explained their kitchen was smaller and that's why they had different presentations, but it didn't seem right. In comparison the dish here didn't have fried shrimps on top, didn't have onion ceviche on top, and didn't have white sauce on top, it was completely naked except for an excess of cheese that overpowered the entire dish and didn't allow your palate to distinguish any other flavor. We counted 3 calamari rings and no more than 2 pieces of fish and shrimp, not a $48 entrée. It was rice in a seafood sauce and not rice with seafood. We had something in mind and a very different dish came to our table, perhaps a different name would be appropriate for dishes that cannot be replicated or change so much in time to avoid confusion. The decor, ambiance and design was beautiful and much more spacious than the original location. The host told us they had a Michelin Star at their UES location and that's why their standards were different, but I'm well aware they have been in the Michelin guide since 2021 but haven't earn a star yet*. Although our experience was ok, I don't think we will be visiting this location again. Consistency is key and lies do not compensate for the lack of it. On top the sushi sauce container came broken. I really hope they level up to meet the quality of food and service customers are used to with the original location, because chef Jose Luis is an artist, and this location does not reflect all his hard work.

Newly opened spot and highly recommend! Great ambience and architecture as soon as you walk inside. The mixto ceviche was beautiful with tasty sauce. But the real stand out with the shrimp tempura with mahi mahi roll -- I could have had 3. The lomo saltado was good but overcooked on the filet. The server was mid but the food made it worth it. Dare to say it may be as good as the OG UES location.

This is a great place for a special occasion . I was here for my Birthday dinner last night. We sat at the bar to get some of those Happy Hour deals (that bar was full by 6pm on a Monday.) The Mojito was the best drink . So fresh tasting, get that. It's $12 for select cocktails. The Pina Colada was good too. I tried the Pisco Sour which is the national drink of Peru and it was spicier than I expected. I'd try some of their other cocktails next time . Tried their Peruvian sushi Roll Acevichado and that is delicious ! Complex but creamy and fresh . With a sweet dipping sauce. Get this. Next time I would concentrate on Sushi and try some ceviche. Tried the Guacamole too. Again it was complex with spicy sauce and warm plantain chips . Tasty. The Octopus Appetizer had delicious crispy potatoes with it and a couple of sauces that were so good we practically licked the plate . Our bartender Nick was also really helpful and cool . The server and staff are all friendly. For mains I got that beautiful Branzino in a zesty sauce . Came with rice and I ate everything. Satisfying . My friend got the Salmon with fresh tomatoes and hearts of palm and this was a nice light choice on a hot Summer day . We got the Tres Leches Cake for dessert . This was unexpectedly delicate and delicious. Get some. Don't skip dessert. We also received a couple of 'smoked shots' of a spicy red liquor for my Birthday. That was really nice . Excellent choice for a birthday and it's also a pretty restaurant. Highly recommended.

Delicious food but a bit overpriced (for the vegetarian appetizers), but the service is quick and seating is aesthetically pleasing. Tres leches here is the best I've ever had and is a must try! Extremely creamy and not too sweet, very delicious!

Food/Drink: Pisco sour was delicious. Shrimp tempura and tostones with guacamole was good but overpriced. My friend had ceviche which was also overpriced with very little fish in it (she has been to Peru and said the ceviche did not compare at all with the dish here). In general, expect to spend $100 for not a whole lot of food. Ambiance: If you do not want to talk with your dining companion(s); this is the place for you! I have been in many trendy noisy restaurants, but this takes the cake; very high ceilings with nothing to absorb the sound, loud music to top it off. My friend and I literally had to shout at each other to be heard. Service: Servers seemed stressed and harried. We asked for plain, not sparkling water and were surprised to se an $11 charge for spring water on the check (we assumed that the bottle of spring water was what tap water was served in). The server removed the $11 charge when we asked but looked annoyed. Et Cetera: We left and went to a place down the block to had a drink and an actual conversation.

Amamos mission ceviche, es demasiado bueno, ma atención, la gente simpatiquísima, de Peru, de Venezuela, de Colombia, muy chévere, amamos mission ceviche!!

First things first, if you want to eat here, TRY THE OCTOPUS CEVICHE!! it is one of the best things i have ever tasted, and so unique. next, I recommend the classic ceviche. even if you think it has elements you might not like, trust me, it's the whole package. Finally, I highly recommend the desserts. The tres leches cake was perfectly textured, sweet and creamy, and the the sweet corn brûlée defies description with how good it was. I did take one star off because the seafood risotto main that we ordered was inedibly sweet. although the seafood in it was cooked perfectly, the flavors were just not balanced, and we could not finish it. I recommend against getting it, and for a restaurant as expensive and impressive as Mission Ceviche, I couldn't give 5 stars given this dish. That being said, every other element of the restaurant was lovely. The service was top notch (I am sure if we had complained about the risotto, it would have been replaced, we just didn't want to make an issue of it), our waitress was amazing, the host and floor manager were lovely, and the restaurant itself has pleasing interior design. In general, the dishes with less generous portions (the ceviches, the sushi rolls) were the stars in terms of flavor. If you want to spend good money on good food, this is a good place to do it, but it is expensive. Oh! almost forgot! the drinks were lovely! my party tried the pisco sour and the harajuku girl cocktail, and both were really impressively balanced and flavorful. (this review is based on the Union Square location)

I'm Peruvian American, and have lived in NYC 25 years, and so I'm always on the hunt for the best Peruvian restaurant in NYC. Sadly this is not it. The place looks phenomenal and the vibe was quite good and energetic. So lots of points for the ambiance. All the staff were fast and courteous. High marks for service. The real issue is the food. I had the ceviche, pollo saltado and a couple other dishes. Sadly all were mediocre and all tasted like bland translations into American style food. The ceviche lacked any real taste or spice and the saltado dish was bland, the chicken tasted processed and even the potatoes that it's traditionally served with tasted like they came out of a frozen food bag. Really disappointing. To add injury to insult, I got food poisoning that evening, which I'm going to guess was either from the ceviche or the pisco sours (raw egg white). Probably from the pisco as my friend shared the ceviche and he was fine. The drinks were quite good, but if you're not cleaning glasses well and handling raw egg with drinks you'll likely get some contamination. This place will attracts lots of American tourist types or girls who like cocktails, but for those looking for good traditional Peruvian food, you'll likely be disappointed.

Amazing service Appetizers on point . The runner explained to us everything . Waitress and Busser perfectas. Dessert is the only thing I didn't like . Not too many options or variety . And the one we chose was a bit lame . Flavorless. (Chirimoya mousse )

really beautifully plated dishes. the sauce for the ceviche was the perfect amount of acidity. the rice with seafood was the highlight the cheese added just the right amount of creaminess. expected the octopus to come with more octopus and less potato.

First time at this restaurant and all I can say is WOW. It all starts once you open the doors and see the beautiful decoration an ambiance of the place. The great vibe in the air, the flavors in the air and no matter where you get seated is all beautiful. The service was top notch. From the host, to the waiters, bartender etc. Making sure your drinks are full, the food, the flavors, the quality excellent all around. The place is perfect for romantic dates, friendly dates and celebrations. Definitely will be returning.

What went well? EVERYTHING! The foodThe service the ambiance Their mocktails were delicious and the foodgasm comes with the variety of ceviche dishes they have is beyond words!

I assumed this would be ordinary, but it was anything but. The experience met expectations. The workers exhibit friendliness likewise. Our stomachs filled before our curiosity was satisfied. Altogether, it's exceptional and terrific !!!

My husband and I love the UES location, their servers are always on it, super friendly and food is always. So coming to the Union Square location was disappointing. The hostess was very nice and got us seated quickly. But considering it was a Saturday and the restaurant was half empty we were shocked that no waiter came to our table after 20 minutes. Then we looked to wave someone down but it looked like they were running from us so we booked it to Laut next door. I love the dishes at MC but there are too many great restaurants in the city that have not only great food, but great service!

Amazing experience at Misión Ceviche, Union Square! The food was absolutely delicious, as always, but what truly stood out was the service. Gio was my server and he was exceptional , friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. He made the whole dining experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

Parents: no high chairs (this is an absolute first) or changing tables in their restrooms. All else: Had a pretty shabby experience on an early Saturday afternoon. Decor was nice and fresh due to being a new spot, host was welcoming, but unfortunately, our waitress was not. From the beginning, the vibe was just off - very unwelcoming. On the positive, there was both brunch and a dinner menu available in-person, although we apparently turned her off when asking about cocktails that were on their site and not on the physical menu...Also, not once did she ask how we were doing so when our drink never arrived, she clearly had no idea. If you do come here and like your meat on the more well-done side, be sure to emphasize because even after doing so for a kid's meal, it was a bit red. Simply put, never again. There are decent reviews on this spot, but our experience was a huge turn off and there's too many choices even in this area. Even upon exiting, the manager (or what appears to have been) who in many restaurants always seeks feedback on the experience or at the very least, holds the door for a parent with a stroller instead, turned their back to talk to other employees.
