When perusing through the menu of Aji Limon in Buena Park, patrons will come across tiny icons for certain Peruvian entrees. A red bowl with chopsticks signals a comida chifa dish, a Chinese inspired specialty. A white bowl emblazoned with a red sun means the meal is a mixture of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. That's where the wonders of Yakiudon Nikkei is to be found.
Aji Limon features Asian-inspired eats better than any of the other Peruvian restaurants in OC. And dishes like Yakiudon Nikkei aren't the works of any “fusion food”craze pairing ingredients corners of the globe with no relation to each other. Japanese immigrants have been interwoven into Peruvian society since the 19th century influencing its national and cultural identity.
Yakiudon Nikkei at Aji Limon is a prime ambassador of Japanese-Andean flavors. The plate is a glorious glaze of thick Japanese udon noodles, chunks of beef, bell peppers, mushrooms, and tofu all sauteed Peruvian-Japanese style. The soy sauce glaze accentuates the taste of all, making for a meal worthy of poetic exaltation in the Peruvian spirit of Cesar Vallejo and Magda Portal!
Wash down Yakiudon Nikkei's goodness with a Cusqueña golden lager to complete a culinary experience as marvelous as the sights of Machu Picchu!
