Led by Culinary Director Kyung Soo Moon, SUSHI SAMBA’s eclectic menu is crafted with impeccable skill and premium ingredients, with many products sourced directly from Japan and Latin America. Spanning everything from traditional Japanese tempura and sushi, to Peruvian anticuchos and seviche , each delicate yet satisfying dish is meant to be shared and appreciated with loved ones.
