What People Are Saying

This reviewer praised Kiara Nikkei for its impressive interior design, inviting heated outdoor terraces, and impeccable gastronomic presentation. They highlighted the flavorful Roll Avocado Maki, which skillfully combined salmon, avocado, and shrimp tempura without cream cheese, and a highly aromatic and balanced Nikkei Ceviche of the day.

A reviewer from Wherelunch.com lauded Kiara Nikkei's grand and refined setting, spread across two exquisitely designed levels. They were particularly impressed by the rigorous culinary proposal, which positions it as a new benchmark for Nikkei cuisine in Santiago, and highlighted the fabulous bar offering creative cocktails like the balanced Japan Soul.

Denise

Denise noted the restaurant's large size, convenient parking, and Bali-style outdoor seating. She enjoyed the fresh ceviche and tender salmon steak but found the mushroom cream sauce too salty. The pisco sour was overly alcoholic, and the chicken fried rice was disappointing due to its thin chicken and salty flavor.
