Michelin & James Beard-recognized Chef Ricardo Zarate has opened The Hummingbird Ceviche House featuring the Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) cuisine he’s best known for. In a charming space with a turquoise-quartz bar, The Hummingbird serves an irresistible bill of fare focused on fresh seafood prepared using traditional Nikkei techniques elevated by California influences. The Los Angeles Times' Laurie Ochoa wrote: "...the service is caring and the food, including an aji amarillo hummus flatbread and sesame-leaf-wrapped shrimp dumplings with tiger's milk aioli, is inventive and delicious. And...the Hummingbird is affordable." Diners delight in Nikkei hand rolls, delectable ceviches, small bites, hot dishes, desserts and house-made Chicha-Morada drinks. The Hummingbird was named one of The Infatuation LA's "Best Restaurants of 2024." NEW: Talented musicians perform live jazz on Tuesdays!

    This is an exciting dining experience. Every dish is delicious and you cannot go wrong with ordering anything on this menu. The rolls are sensational. Our favorites are the crab and the scallops. The shrimp dumplings are terrific. Never too spicy, flavor profiles are complex and differ with each dish. For dessert the beignets should not be missed. A fabulous addition to the LA restaurant scene. Hesitate to say too much as we need to be able to get a reservation and there’s already lots of buzz.

    An absolute amazing experience. Everything on the menu was so imaginative yet the flavors from Peru were still there. Do not miss this restaurant. The food and service were 10/10!

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been somewhere where EVERYTHING is excellent but the hummingbird ceviche house delivered. The hand rolls, especially the tuna and the picarones were two highlights as was the u fussy friendly service. Get there early to find parking.

    This was our 2nd time dining at Hummingbird and it was even more delicious. Everyone from the chef to the host and all the servers are so kind and helpful. It really feels like their team is a family:) We sat at a cozy table this time (although highly recommend the bar if you can get a spot to watch the chef and his team work.) All the fish is incredibly fresh and all the flavors of the sauces really complement without overpowering. Favorites are the tuna handrolls, yellow tail tostada & the shrimp dumplings which are on the spicy side but so yummy! The word is out, so definitely make a reservation.
