UCHU Cevicheria & Raw Bar

UCHU Cevicheria & Raw Bar brings the seafood traditions of coastal Peru to Vancouver’s Chinatown through a cevicheria and raw-bar format. The restaurant focuses on the character of Peru’s coastline, drawing on the variety of its regions, the resources of the ocean and the social spirit of coastal dining.

The menu is shaped around Peruvian flavours and seafood, with ceviche and raw-bar preparations at the centre of the experience. Rather than presenting Peru as a single regional cuisine, UCHU reflects the differences found along the coast from north to south. That approach gives the restaurant a clear sense of place while leaving room for a contemporary Pacific Northwest perspective.

UCHU is part of a broader culinary story rooted in Peruvian heritage and a life connected to both Peru and Canada. Its style is expressive and welcoming, with the food carrying the colour, freshness and variety associated with the country’s coastal cooking. The setting suits diners who enjoy seafood-led meals, ceviche, raw preparations and a shared dining atmosphere.

The restaurant is located at 158 E Pender Street, in Chinatown, and offers evening service from Tuesday to Saturday. Sunday and Monday are closed. Reservations are available, and the venue also accepts enquiries for event bookings. Its location makes it a suitable stop for a meal centred on Peruvian seafood rather than a casual café visit or a general bar menu.

UCHU works well for diners looking to explore the coastal side of Peruvian cuisine in a focused setting. The combination of cevicheria and raw bar keeps the identity of the restaurant clear, while the emphasis on convivial dining gives the experience a social quality. Those with dietary questions, group plans or specific seating requests can contact the restaurant directly before visiting.
