Amasa Latin Steakhouse is a new restaurant with a nice ambience, and we went hoping for good Peruvian food. We started with the chicken-and-chorizo empanadas, which were just okay. They needed more filling, and the green sauce had a strange taste. My husband ordered the churrasco and really enjoyed it. I should’ve ordered steak too, because the roasted chicken I got was extremely bland and lacked seasoning. There was no salt or pepper on the table, and even with the sauce, it didn’t help much. The dish also came with french fries instead of traditional sides like rice and beans, which felt odd. For the price, it wasn’t worth it, and I left most of it behind. Overall, the restaurant might be better for steak lovers, but based on my meal, we won’t be returning.

Hi Erika, Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. While we’re glad your husband enjoyed the churrasco and that you appreciated the ambience, we’re truly sorry that other aspects of your meal did not meet expectations. Your comments about the empanadas, roasted chicken, and sides are very helpful, and we’ll be reviewing them with our culinary team to ensure improvements are made. We’d value the chance to connect further and make things right. If you don’t hear from us soon, please feel free to reach out to me directly at 646-760-3794 and ask for Macarena Rotger. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a better experience. — Macarena Rotger, General Manager

Amasa was a wonderful experience. Our server was incredibly attentive from the moment we sat down. The food was delicious and a good value for the price in Manhattan. My friend declared the Mac & cheese the best he’s ever had. My picanha was wonderfully cooked as was the steak others ordered. We loved the crispy potatoes and cheese as well as the churros that were so light and fluffy. Highly recommend!

The menu is focused and shareable (notably the Mexico City–style tacos) and the cocktail list is creative, so it’s easy to pair drinks with small plates. Dress business casual and plan an evening visit (they’re open for dinner), making it a comfortable spot for a special night out.

Amasa serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday. According to the restaurant, hours are Tuesday–Saturday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. If you’re planning a visit on a holiday or need an off-hour accommodation, call ahead as holiday hours aren’t listed.

The ambience is elegant and intentional but approachable, guests describe the space as beautiful with thoughtful decor and a lively bar. Service is frequently praised as attentive and warm, and the food is presented with care, creating a refined yet relaxed dining experience that fits a casual-dining dress code.
