Sushi & Japanese near Parque Lleras

The best sushi and Japanese food a few blocks from Parque Lleras — a teppanyaki show at Hanami and family recipes at Japonería.

When you need a break from bandeja paisa, two Japanese restaurants within a few blocks of Parque Lleras stand out: one for the teppanyaki show, one for home-style cooking by a chef from Japan.

Hanami

Teppanyaki and sushi on Calle 10B

Hanami combines a sushi bar with teppanyaki grills where chefs cook in front of you — reviewers single out the show, the specialty rolls and the cocktails. It is one of the few proper hibachi experiences in the city, priced accordingly.

Japonería

A chef from Gifu, a few blocks from the park

Japonería was founded in 2019 by chef Yuka Tomita, from Gifu in Japan, and Alejandro Quiñones, whose architecture background shows in the calm wabi-sabi interior. The menu draws on Tomita’s family recipes: sushi and nigiri, ramen, tempura and handmade dumplings.
