Peruvian Chipotle? I'm obsessed! I'm a huge fan of the build-a-bowl concept, and Brasa is something special. First and foremost, I love how they have more than 1 vegetarian main option, and both the tofu and mushrooms are FANTASTIC. Either it was just a really good day or Brasa truly just knows how to cook and season mushrooms WELL. Just like an "bowl" restaurant, choose your base, proteins and here, unlimited toppings. Everything was so flavorful and exceeded my expectations. On top of that, my "bowl maker" Chris was so kind and patient as I filled my bowl to the brim. I will absolutely be making Brasa a staple! read more

I really liked the food here the first time I tried it but this time I came to pick up a braised beef bowl and everything was insanely salty. I only took 2 bites of their rice and I gave the rest to L since he can handle more salt. Even he said it was incredibly salty. I know other people are used to salty food but this was just too much. Other than the salt, it was good. He loved the red onions, too bad there wasn't enough. Lil pricey at $17ish after tax since there isn't a ton of meat. Although we did love our first visit, we can't come back due to the salt. Although it could've been a one time thing that the food was over salted...maybe I'll check out a different location. The staff was nice and made my food for me as soon as I confirmed my order. The restaurant is also really bright inside and it was pretty clean compared to other similar establishments. read more

Great food, generous portions and ample seating. I came here on a Saturday. I build my own bowl with chicken (unlimited toppings) and Chifa braised beef bowl. I liked there braised beef but also like the build your own bowl because of the unlimited toppings. Will definitely come back to try other items on their menu. read more

Passed by this place a couple of times and finally decided to walk in for a quick healthy lunch. I got a chicken bowl with some guacamole, broccoli, carrots, beets, etc. The taste itself was pretty good, the portion could use a little work (some more protein would've been nice given the price). Other than that, the place itself is spacious, plenty of dine-in spots and was clean. I could see myself stopping here again and possibly trying another item on the menu (the smoothies look good). read more

I highly recommend Brasa for a healthy and hearty bowl. I had it for lunch, but it's big enough to be a decent dinner, too. The employee who helped me named Alexis was amazing and so was their colleague Cat. I had a spicy miso salmon bowl (per their website it had: Miso panca salmon, mixed greens, garlic rice, mint cucumber, raw carrots, Peruvian chili jam, toasted Peruvian corn, avocado blossoms, sweety drop peppers, mango ginger dressing). It was delicious. The place itself is clean and modern with nice Peruvian flair. One day I'll try their Peruvian poutine since this is a Canadian chain. read more

The food is always delicious and clean. I always come here after my workouts in the neighborhood and staff is always friendly. The energy is positive and we are always professionally assisted with a warm greeting. Freddy and Kathryn are wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good and healthy meal read more

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen - Tuna ceviche with quinoa, potatoes, broccoli, Red onion, carrots and cucumber - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

This new fast-casual restaurant just opened its second NYC location here in Astoria, offering healthy, fresh options with Peruvian flavors. Their menu includes smoothies, seasonal salads, and bowls (from set menu or build your own). I love that the Build-Your-Own bowl comes with unlimited toppings. You choose your base, protein, toppings, sauce, and blossoms and dips. I opted for a base of half spinach and half tri-color Peruvian quinoa, topped with marinated (ceviche-style) tuna, broccoli, cucumber, Peruvian sweety drop peppers, choclo (giant Peruvian corn), sweet potato and avocado blossoms, and Brasa dipping sauce on the side. First off, the bowl was beautifully prepared--colorful and nicely arranged (which I always appreciate--nothing worse than a bowl that looks like it was tossed together haphazardly). The sweet potato and avocado blossoms were not only visually fun and unique but also added great flavor. The choclo was another highlight--chewy, satisfying, and unlike anything you'd find at your average salad bar. Taste-wise, the bowl delivered. Everything was fresh, vibrant, and flavorful. My only gripe is that the portion of tuna was a bit small, especially for this price. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the sweety drop peppers, but I'm glad I gave them a try. Service was great. The staff was friendly and gave helpful advice--especially their recommendation to eat the bowl right away since the tuna was raw. While checking out, they mentioned that if you download their app, you get a free bowl after your first purchase. Definitely a reason to return! read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday early afternoon. Had basically no wait time, and given it's a residential area I'd guess this spot doesn't get crazy busy I did a make your own bowl and really enjoyed it! Most of the ingredients were high quality, and overall felt like a nice way to enjoy a healthy meal while eating out The best add ons I had were the sweet potato blossom (basically sweet potato with whipped cream texture) the toasted corn and giant corn, along with the hot pepper and lime sauce The proteins I had were the chicken and chili pepper tofu. Those were the only items in the bowl that didn't come across as high quality. The tofu in particular was quite hard and lacking in flavor. However both were saved by the sauces and other add ins Highly recommend giving this place a try if you find yourself in the area! read more

Terrible experience. I ordered the roasted chicken bowl and the chicken was hard, definitely not fresh. Also either overcooked or old. The sauces had a weird taste like stale. The only thing somewhat decent was the beef I ordered on the side. I will not order from here ever again. I rather stick with all the other Peruvian restaurants in the area which are also not that great. So disappointing. Additionally, i paid extra for raw carrots , salasa criolla and broccoli and it didnt come in the plate. read more

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen - Chicken bowl - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

I did not like Brasa Peruvian Kitchen one bit. Everthing seamed off about this kitchen, cantine, or what ever you want to call it? The servings were not fresh, the restaurant had dirty tables and the staff were not really interested in the customers when I was there. With so many excellent Peruvian restaurants nearby, you would think there standards would be so much higher. They weren't. Everything I ordered (see photos) did not taste right and I left disappointed to say the least. I will not be back anytime soon! read more

I really wanted to love this place but it was so disorganized. They were missing many ingredients for their standard bowls and it very hard to pick things without being able to see the items. Beautiful red pots with covered lids. Half the genius of chipotle is that you can see what your options are and add as you go. I was underwhelmed by the brasa bowl. Will not return. read more

Vibrant, colorful ingredients and a completely seed-oil-free menu make this spot a standout. The food feels incredibly fresh and clean, matched by friendly, attentive customer service that makes for a great experience. Highly recommended for a wholesome and high-quality meal. read more

This place is new and it's always busy when I've passed by! It's clean and the food is fresh! I think it's a great addition to Astoria, they have bowls, salads, smoothies ... you can build your own bowl or salad custom to how you like. The service was excellent and the man who was taking my order was so friendly and kind!! Amazing. My salad was yummy and I'm looking forward to going back and trying the beef next time, it looked so good!! Def worth checking out and the prices are totally reasonable, my bowl was big! 14.95$ per bowl read more

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen - Cusco Cesar salad (add broccoli) and BYOB with brasa chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

I've lived in the area for a while, and I've always walked by this place. Decided one day it to pop in here and boy. Boy have I been missing out. I am vegetarian and there are a lot of options for me. But if you like meat they have multiple options for you as well as fish. Better than chopped without the chop price. Alexis is was so sweet and really made sure we knew all the options and gave us the best combo. Will be coming back read more

I will NEVER order from here again. I order from here a lot, and what I received is beyond disrespectful. Aside from my order being incorrect, every single thing was FRIGID. The quinoa was inedible. The tofu was dry and overcooked. I wish I would've spent my money anywhere else. I literally threw it out and am cooking myself, because that's how stale and cold everything was read more

This is a very good addition to the neighborhood. It's great that it is not a generic salad place.

I wish they had more locations this place is awesome. The food is flavourful and beautiful, the service was top of the line. cabt wait to go back! read more

Brasa is by far the best fast casual meal in Astoria. The food was fresh and flavorful along with awesome service! We're lucky to have it. read more

Brasa Peruvian Kitchen - Brasa chicken and tuna ceviche - Peruvian Near Me - Queens, New York

Total fail! Everything in this bowl is dead cold! Fridge like!!! Is it "warm rice" supposed to be WARM? I was expecting this bowl to at least have the protein WARM! Or the roasted potatoes ! Instead I just got this mad fridge cold food that is more like a salad you just grab from a supermarket fridge!! Quinoa is in COLD chunks total disappointment! You need to let PPl ordering that your food is served and delivered completely cold read more

I fit this restaurant into my tight weekend schedule. The flavors impress, the servers excel, and ingredients shine. This place maintains good mood everywhere. The employees delivered with exceptional care. This place has an attractive layout. read more

This random choice turned out to be surprisingly good. They prioritize what goes into their food. You'll notice the tidy environment and affordable menu. The workers deliver perfect assistance. I'd tell all dining enthusiasts about this restaurant.My taste buds fell in love during that first memorable meal. Their team maintains upbeat attitudes. Truly outstanding. The decor here creates a perfect mood. The staff delivers consistent service, the restaurant is spotless and I'll visit again. read more

This a new place that just opened up. It is very clean and organized. The napkins ran out and the worker immediately filled it up. They have to go bags available already on the side to grab. They even have a restroom even though there were only maybe 8-10 seats. It was really clean as well. The amount of food you receive is a lot, my total came out to $20 for my food and a drink. Rahiem my server was extremely kind, respectful, polite, and patient. I wanted to give him a tip, but I was told they can't accept tips, which is confusing to me since so many cafes and other places ask for tips where I don't n think it's necessary. The food was delicious and it's easy to try many options. read more

As a Peruvian, I can confirm that this place is terrific. A welcome addition to the Peruvian food scene in NYC, offering high-quality ingredients, affordable prices, and thoughtfully creating a different spin on classic Peruvian staples. I've only tried their salads and bowls, but their smoothies and other snacks look good too. If only they served Chicha juice and Lucuma ice cream -- now that would be a game changer! P.S. Darnell is awesome and so welcoming, give this man a raise! read more

smoothies were awesome, really tasty for such a healthy drink. really friendly people in a great place. glad I went in.

The spiced Shroomama was delicious Cellan was outstanding and great and a big help Highly recommend this place

Literally two bites of beef, some yellow rice, lettuce and a few pieces of steamed broccoli were the contents of our half filled beef bowl that cost $15. We asked for the lime/rococo sauce on the side, and got something resembling pureed avocado. Off to a poor start. Can improve portion size and flavor for sure. read more
