Master Critic Review
Rinconcito Colombiano Latin Chinese
7.7
A Latin-Chinese kitchen that runs a full sushi-roll lane alongside Colombian staples, with a menu that leans heavily into bold sauces, tempura crunch, and fusion builds. The sushi is best treated as a focused order—pick one signature roll style (spicy, crunchy, or fried) and keep the add-ons tight so it eats clean and fresh.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll
