The heart of 1Q1 is the food - Asian cuisine with an emphasis on authenticity and quality. We offer a variety of different Asian cuisines, which include Japanese, Nikkei (which is a confluence of Peruvian and Japanese food culture), Thai, Malaysian, Korean and Chinese. While delicious dim sums, sushi and the meats from the Robatayaki grill make up traditional fare, modernism is marked by Nikkei cuisine, which is a confluence of Peruvian and Japanese food culture.

Every dish will be presented in a manner that elevates its experience like the classic sushi will be presented traditionally, whereas the South American sushi will have a Latin personality.
