My boyfriend brought me here for a late lunch and when we parked outside, I jokingly asked if this was the part where he harvests my organs then we went inside and it was a whole other world. I love the contrasting black and white wall! The decor is beautiful. Neither of us have ever had Peruvian food before and were nervous, so we picked some familiar(ish) dishes. He ordered the Fettuccine (I can't remember the full name) and I ordered the same but off the vegetarian menu. Both of our dishes were delicious!! I made the questionable decision to eat a slice of a pepper by itself, thinking it was a jalapeño (I did not read the whole description, totally my fault) and my white girl taste buds could handle it. WRONG my mouth was on fire, and water was making it worse. Then our absolutely wonderful server came by with samples of two different milk-based desserts (rice pudding and tres leches). My poor vanilla taste buds were saved. We will definitely be back, and we look forward to trying more of their menu. read more

This is a small but cozy restaurant. I love their Paella! Good service. We ate twice already and will be coming back for more as we want to try everything! read more

The food was fantastic, the service was friendly, and the ambiance was perfectly suited for a nice relaxing dinner. Lighting was dim and I wasn't expecting live music so that was a fun surprise. Would definitely go back read more

I was on the way to Tahoe for holidays and wanted to stop by for a bite to eat and a group of my friends suggested Peruvian food. Tried to research and this restaurant seems promising. When we got there , late afternoon and looked pretty slow only one big table. The server came out to greet us and show us the table. She is really nice and take good care of us. The food that we got were the ceviche, shrimp soup Fettuccini stir fried beef and bisteak. All the food were amazing , I wasn't expecting anything and everything was good. Especially, the ceviche was my favorite, the flavor was sour not too spicy. The seafood was fresh. All the beef was tender. I really recommend this place if you're ever in the area. read more

Some of the best Peruvian food I have had. The ceviche sampler was fun and tasty. Lucuma ice cream was unique and delicious. Very nice decor! They were busy and the hostess acted as our server - gave us great recommendations. read more

This colorful Peruvian place is in a strip mall with plenty of free parking. It decorated with many colorful paintings and has Spanish music playing as you walk in. We came on a rainy afternoon and had the place to ourselves at opening. The service was attentive and personal. We came here as we were craving Lomo Saltado and this did not disappoint! The savory sauce with the beef, tomatoes, onions and French fries satisfied the craving. We also tried a new to me fish dish called pescado a lo no macho which was a tender light fried fish covered in a delicate seafood sauce. This dish is best eaten immediately and not as a take out as the fish will get soggy. We will return. read more

Chicha Peruvian Kitchen - Inside - Peruvian Near Me - Roseville, California

Hubby and I came here for a little date night and we loved it! It was very cute inside - had great decor, with nice music playing in the background, and they even had incense going as we entered that we thought was a nice touch. But let's be real, the food is where we should be most concerned about and oh my gosh, they knocked it out of the freaking park. Of course when we sat down and looked at the menu, the prices are what stood out. And not in a good way. Everything was very pricey but honestly, once we tried the food we were completely okay with it in the end. It's clear they use fresh ingredients and put a lot of love in their dishes. The sangria was the best we've ever had. The ceviche was absolutely unique and delicious, and I loved my shrimp and pork belly fried rice. My husband's steak frites were okay (the steak was very chewy). To top it off, the passionfruit and mango cheesecake was so good I kept scraping the plate with my fork to get a little bit more of that passionfruit syrup they add to it. Liz (I hope I spelled it right), was a delightful and quick server. Only thing I wish we were able to have was that bread they used to serve on the house (we saw on Yelp they previously did that but no one had it when we were there). We highly recommend this place, just come prepared to spend some $$. read more

Lovely ambiance, good food, nice service. We tried many things we haven't had before. The Chicha drink is a bit sweet, and the sangria is light n yum. read more

1 discovered this restaurant 7 years ago while searching on Yelp, and when I went, I really liked it the service was great and the food was delicious. But lately, the food isn't as good. They've raised the prices a lot and give very small portions. Before, they also used to serve small breads with their respective sauces before the main course, but now they don't do that anymore. The service is still excellent, but the quality of the food has dropped significantly, and the prices are incredibly high. Such a shame. read more

So disappointed with our dinner and we had such high expectations based on the reviews. We went with a group and there was one table with a small group in the restaurant beside us. There was one waitress and it appeared there was maybe one other person working. There was 7 of us so the waitress was clear that there was an automatic 20% tip for a group this size. I am fine with that and I am happy giving more than 20% but with one person, who took over 15 minutes just to get us a glass of water. Additionally the waitress didn't get my wife's dinner order. She order an appetizer and a main meal. When dinner was served, she didn't have my wife's order. The language was clearly an issue as we tried to ask about the menu. We were not experts on Peruvian food. I'll give it up to maybe a language issue but not an apology or any concession. Food, was just ok. I ordered the Bistek Lo lobre, which is Steak, fried onions, eggs, potatoes and plantains. The French fries were cold, the Steak, was tough, grisly, and really no flavor and the plantains were not great. I am just not getting it! Service was horrible, food was mediocre at best and the entitled attitude for a tip when they were way understaffed, it is why I gave 2 stars. Too many other great options. Sad because I wanted it to be great. read more

Unassuming from the outside in a strip mall, but cute place on the inside. Had dinner here the day after Mother's day weekend so it was still full of balloons and decorations celebrating mom. They also had causa available which isn't on the menu b/c it was available for Mother's day. I'm glad I asked!! Brought my Serbian colleague here - her first time in California and her first time eating Peruvian food. She thoroughly enjoyed the Chicha and her pollo saltado! I had the Chupe de camarones and it was warm, delicious and cozy! Don't find myself in this area often, but would definitely recommend and revisit. read more

This is my GO TO restaurant when I am in the area. Great Peruvian restaurant. Flavor is very good, menu is somehow limited but the dishes I've tried were good. Pricing is no cheap though. Couldn't it be better ? Yes. Does it taste just like food in Peru? No, but it is still very good. That is the reason I am only giving 4 stars . Service is good and ambiance is ok. read more

Family told us to try this out. Small place in a strip mall, inside is clean and inviting. Staff was friendly. We had a ceviche appetizer that had fish and calamari. It was excellent, but very pricey at $25.99. Ingredients were very fresh and nicely balanced, it really made the taste buds dance around! We tried two dishes, one was a noodle dish with beef I don't recall the names of either dish, but it was excellent. The other one was a rice dish with beef and different veggies. I dropped a star because of the high end pricing for the the portions you get. It was very good tasting, it just cost more than what we want to spend on a date night dinner. For two entrees and one appetizer and waters to drink, it was still over $80, add $15 tip and that's an expensive date night. read more

Cheerful ambiance with Peruvian flare. Our waiter, Jesus, was helpful describing menu and offering suggestions. Food was delicious. We started with, beef heart Anticucho. Nicely done with rich flavor. Chicha salad was well dressed, Ceviche delicious with fish, shrimp, calamari and paella flavorful. Finished off either chocolate cake which we enjoyed. On Saturdays there is added entertainment. Beautiful singer who also plays guitar. This is a hidden gem. read more

First time here and loved it! The food was very flavorful and fresh. I got the pollo pachamanquero and loved it! The bread pudding was very good too, not too sweet and creamy. The waiter was super sweet and helpful with recommendations . I met one of the owners, she was very nice and attentive. I can't wait to get back and try more of their dishes! read more

BEST Peruvian food hidden in a strip mall next to a karate place. The food!! The food!!!! The food was so good, let me start with the dessert. Peruvian flan is wayyyyyy better than the Filipino or Mexican version. I said what I said!!! Get the Flan! It was incredibly thick in size. I want to say it was cooked in a Bundt pan due to the height. The flan was silky, creamy, sweet, but not too sweet. And they added chocolate and white chocolate dabs on top of the flan. I didn't think it would go, but boy it did!!!! Both chocolate dabs complimented the flan soo incredibly well. Make room for the flan! The dinner items we orders: 1. Lomo Saltado - This kid doesn't order from the kid menu bc he has an appetite. An appetite so big that he polished off all the steak pieces on this dish. Super flavorful meat. Loved how much onions were in this dish as well. 2. Pescado A Lo Macho - the hubs ordered this dish. I definitely had my fork all up in his plate. It surprising tasted kind of Italian as the sauce was creamy. Loved all the flavors 3. Peruvian Style Paella - So so good!! The amount of seafood in this dish is worth it. They definitely did not skimp out on the seafood. Huge chunks of octopus and squid, fish, shrimp , and clams. I can't wait to eat here again!!! read more

First time here but definitely not the last. What a fun experience. Everything was delicious and our server, Leo was so helpful and didn't mind all of our questions! I ordered the Pollo pachamanquero and seriously one of the best things I've ever tasted. Can't wait for 2nd visit to try something else. read more

Meeting a friend for dinner, she decided on trying Peruvian food. It was only my second time having Peruvian food so we let the waiter make recommendations and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. I wish I could remember all of the names, but we split an appetizer that was a cold potato dish with a cream sauce, a main dish that had thinly sliced steak and some fried yucca potatoes. All in all, everything was very delicious and I appreciated the explanation of each dish by our waiter. The service was fast and friendly, and the interior decor was warm and inviting. If you have never experienced Peruvian food before, I would highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

11/20/22 My oldest son and I were craving some Peruvian food and found this spot on Yelp. Thank you fellow yelpers for helping us! Location was very colorful in decor both outside and inside. For today's visit, I ordered the Lomo Saltado A La Antigua and my son ordered the pork tamale. The Pork Tamale came out with pickled onions on top and had olives inside. It came out more wet vs dry with the pickled toppings. $8.95 for 1 pork tamale. My son wasn't a fan of the pork tamale and ended up sharing my Lomo Saltado A La Antigua which was seasoned well. I was hoping there was more fries and that it was a bit more crispy but overall it was a good dish. $25.95 for rice, seasoned beef with onions, tomatoes, soy sauce and topped with a fried egg. There wasn't a lot of beef or fries. There was lots of red onions. The dishes IMO were on the pricer side for both brunch and dinner options. While I was checking out Yelp, I noticed many reviews mentioned all you can eat buffets. When I inquired about it with our server, I understood they have these on the last Sunday of every month from Jan-Sept and require advance reservations as it gets extremely busy. What a great concept! I would definitely be back to check that out in 2023 so I can different dishes offered. Bel Air shopping plaza Location has ample parking and this location is at the corner end of the plaza. read more

On Sunday, September 25, 2022, I attended the 2nd seating, 2 PM - 4 PM, for the last buffet of the year. Advance reservations were required. Buffet cost was $34.95 per adult and $14.95 per child. The restaurant needed time to transition from the 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM 1st seating, so we waited outside in line with the restaurant's front doors closed until maybe 2:15 PM or 2:20 PM, assuming I remembered correctly. We were checked in one party at a time. So many people, primarily Latin Americans, attended! I think I and perhaps one table of Filipinos were the only non-Latin buffet guests. That's how you can tell the food is authentic and special. There was one other table of two non-Latin customers, but they weren't there for the buffet. All the buffet dishes were labeled in Spanish. That was a lot of work for me to translate, compare against the regular menu, and ask the waitress about! The buffet offered more dishes than I could try! If you really want to try everything, you can only have one small tasting of each. There is no stomach space for second helpings of your favorite dishes. I took so long to finish my second plate that most of the dessert bites were gone by the time I waddled up there. Restaurant was super wise to portion the desserts into small squares and serve them in condiment cups, which enabled customers to sample more desserts. I was so full that I couldn't even finish my 2nd plate or my 3rd dessert bite. LEGEND X Customer Favorite (dishes that ran out or low) O My Favorite APPETIZERS * Assorted Rolls and Pastries in a Basket X * Fresh Salad (Ensenada Fresca) * Huancayo style potatoes (Papa a la Huancaina) * Ocopa sauce potatoes with hard-boiled eggs and olives (Ocopa) * Russian Beet Salad (Ensenada Russa) * Seafood Ceviche (Ceviche con Mariscos) X * Fish Ceviche (Ceviche de Pescado) O * Chicken Chowder (Chupe de Pollo) O SIDES * Garbanzo Beans and Pork Fried Rice (Arroz con Garbanzos y Cerdo) O * Beans (Frijoles) ENTREES * Chicken with Aji Amarillo sauce (Aji de Gallina) O * Beef Stew (Seco de Res) O * Pineapple Pork (Chancho con Piña) * Fish with Seafood Sauce (Pescado con Salsa de Mariscos) X * Stir-fried Beef Tenderloin with French Fries (Lomo Saltado) X * Mushroom Pesto (Pesto con Hongos) * Chicken with Peanuts (Pollo con Mani) O DESSERTS * Rice pudding (Arroz con Leche) * Churros * Chocolate cake * Watermelon * Flan? * Cheesecake? * Tiramisu? * Too many others that I couldn't examine, try, or identify!!! My tendency was to prefer the saucy meat entrees eaten over rice. The other customers loved the seafood and steak dishes. Other than water, beverages weren't included with the buffet, so I ordered a Chicha Morada, a sweet Peruvian punch made of purple corn, passion fruit, lime juice, and house bubbles. It is a pretty fuschia color. Because I was a solo diner, I started my meal at an outside table for 2. After other customers finished dining and left, I was moved inside to be closer to the buffet tables and for AC. The buffet food warmers were beautiful, festive, and cultural. Buffet was overkill for me, so I'm better off with a lunch or dinner plate, but it was a great way to preview the culinary skills and menu of Chicha. Here are some other noteworthy offerings: * Peruvian breakfast is offered Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM to 12 PM. * 20% discount on all Ceviches every Tuesday (5 different ceviches!) * 20% discount on all Wine Bottles every Wednesday * Lunch Specials run Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM. $13.95 for entree or $18.95 with an appetizer. * Happy Hour runs Monday to Friday, 4 PM to 6 PM, 7 plates ranging $6-$10. * $24.95 Seafood Duos are available Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 5 PM. A Seafood Duo is Tiger's Milk seafood cocktail (Leche de Tigre) with your choice of Seafood Fried Rice (Arroz con Mariscos) or Fried Seafood (Jalea). For 2022, Chicha is doing a $360 Thanksgiving special that feeds 8-10 people. Orders will be taken until Monday, November 21. * Whole turkey with gravy (15 to 17 pounds) * Fresh salad with red fruit dressing * Mashed potatoes with garlic * Roasted vegetables * Green beans with bacon and almonds * Hot sauce Someday I would be interested in trying the Chaufa Aeropuerto Taypá, which is fried rice with chicken, shrimp, and vegetables wrapped inside a thin omelette. The Chupe de Camarones or Shrimp Chowder also catches my eye from the restaurant's Facebook page. Thank you for your authentic fun menu offerings, Chicha! read more

I got the ceviche tasting from an UberEats order and, as a Peruvian, this was the WORST ceviche I've ever tried in my life. It was embarrassing to fail at showing off our Ceviche to my friends, we all left it. I'm not sure why but they must have added A LOT of ginger. read more

This is such a top notch Peruvian restaurant. Loved their leche de tigre appetxier and the pescado a lo macho. The leche de tigre was a great combination of seafood and citrus. Wow! The flavor packs a punch. Then I got the seafood dish. This came with a lovely array of seafood. Loved the spicy flavor and the delicious and flavorful broth. The rice soaks up the sauce. So so good. I enjoyed these two dishes and there are so many to choose from. Great place! read more

I really enjoyed this meal. I've never had ceviche before, wasn't sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the intense lime flavor coupled with the spicy peppers. The rest of the menu looks amazing too. Definitely try out this little hole in the wall. The service is great, very speedy and friendly. The bread intro with garlic butter is delicious. Ceviche was not too filling and I had room for dessert. I got the bread pudding which was good although a little too sweet (that's just me though). I'd go back here anytime. read more

The good: Peruvian food is easily one of my favorite cuisines (top 3 for sure). It is always a pleasant surprise to find a Peruvian place in a very unassuming location. The exterior and plaza might make you think that this place wont have a great date night or special occasion atmosphere but the inside is moody, cute and transports you! There's some fun wall art, a curtain made of fuzzy ball garlands, intricate tile, and some fake plants on the ceiling. They also have some small outdoor seating spots. I had the chicha morada, passion fruit cheesecake, bread pudding, 2 of the fish dishes and a ceviche. The ceviche was fresh and delicious. The fish entrees were perfect. I love the interesting flavors and the balance of acid and salt. Making reservations in advance was easy online. The bad: The desserts were just ok. The interesting: This was the first chicha morada drink I had that didn't taste cinnamony. It was heavier on the pineapple juice side. The dessert are on display in a case. read more

Fantastic service and delicious, elevated Peruvian food! Everything is prepared to order so it's easy for them to work around food allergies and adjust spice levels. Gluten Free and vegetarian options are clearly marked on the menu. If you are clean and sober: ask them to remove any alcohol from the table before you are seated so it doesn't trigger you. read more

We had Lomo saltado a la antigua and Pesto con bistec con lomo saltado. For drinks, we had Inca kola. Everything was very flavorful and tasty.

We dined last night for Valentine's day and thankfully had an early reservation. The place is super cute and they did a great job of decorating modestly for Valentine's. I liked how they had balloons tied to the bottles of Malbec at specific tables. While I didn't ask specifically, I think it was their way of noting which tables were reserved. After being shown to our table and seated, we perused the menu and were excited to try some new dishes.... ...(5 minutes - nada) ...(5 more minutes - nada) ......(5 more minutes - nada) At one point, someone dropped off two hard biscuits and left. We weren't even offered water, yet. We waited and noticed a couple seated well after us was already placing their order and had water. At this point, I was about to get up and pour ourselves some water, instead, I flagged a server down and asked for some water. The server looked frantic but thankfully got us water, but immediately left. This is the point, where the sever should have said something like "sorry for the delay, your server will with you shortly". The person who I asked for water wasn't assigned to our table. It is Valentine's day and I get it, it is busy and they are doing their best. So we wait...ever so patiently. We never once complained. We waited. After waiting some more, the server assigned to us showed up and apologized for being busy. They asked if we wanted to start with drinks, we said that we would also order as well. We placed our appetizer and dinner order along with two pisco sours. Once our order was placed, the food came out in a timely fashion. However, our drinks somehow did not make it. We figured they'd be out shortly, after about halfway through our meal our server came to check on us and we reminded them about the drinks. We could have been on our second round of drinks if they were delivered on time, alas we only had one round and ended up boxing up the rest to take home. I still give them 4 stars because the food was that good and I liked the setting. Now if they can improve on their service this place will be a great spot to visit regularly. read more

Best beef hearts I've ever tasted. Usually they take too rich and like minerals. Fantastic texture, seasoning, and test. The chicken thighs were juicy and perfectly cooked. The fish was excellent. I'm usually not a sauce person but the two sauces, one with the potatoes and beef hearts, and the one with the yucca fries and the chicken thighs were simply delicious. Even the passion fruit mimosa was fantastic. The service was super welcoming and friendly. The ambiance was so authentic and beautiful. I was mesmerized by the art and the decor. read more

When we first moved out to the Sacramento area, this was our place for Peruvian food. Since they have opened their new location in Midtown, it makes me sad to say that this location has dropped down in food quality. The service was excellent, the ambiance was "peruvian" and their waiters are very attentive. But unfortunately, the food is no longer as good as it used to be, the Peruvian drink chicha you can tell is not made fresh - but maybe more of the powder mix? I am Peruvian and I can surely say that that is not freshly made chicha. That or they need to change up the recipe for it. Aside from the food quality dropping, it's definitely gotten more expensive since they've opened the new location. Sad to say that due to the price, and just the overall food quality, my family and I have decided not to return unfortunately. read more

Incredible food and service. Very cute place with great ambiance. This was our first time here and we're adding it to our regular spots. Tried the ceviche sampler. So good!

This is my second time here. I went here with a group of friends. It's a very cute restaurant, I love the decor and all of the Peruvian paintings. The portions are pretty big, you will definitely will have leftovers. It may feed 2 people depending if you're use to large portions of food. The service is pretty good, they are very accommodating, and really nice. You can also make reservations which is a plus. Drinks: Chicha morada (10/10): This the bomb! You can never go wrong with this nonalcoholic drink Amazonas Mimosa (10/10): Very refreshing. I recommend this when it's really hot outside. Appetizers: Yuca Frita (10/10): They were super crispy! I loved the crunch! Papa a la Huancaina (8/10): It was good but I've had better. Food: Arroz con Mariscos (8/10) Espagueti fruta de Mar (8/10) read more
