Such a beautiful restaurant with immaculate vibe! The staff here was super friendly as well. It was easy to make a reservation online. We were brought to our table in this beautifully styled restaurant. They had an extensive drink menu, the Ho-ma cha and cha cha chicha were our favorites of the night. We started with some tangy cucumber wood ear salad that was very appetizing. You also cannot go wrong with a dan dan Mian, it was creamy and bouncy. The traditional zongzi was more of a Cantonese style zong with a lot of beans, they also brought some sugar for dipping if you're into that. Our favorite dish was the Black Pepper Prawns, it packed a punch with so much flavor. We were devouring it with our hands, thankfully they gave us some hand towels! Another favorite was the Mapo Tofu, it was the perfect level of spice that went so well with the garlic rice. It would definitely get that again. The lomo saltado was good too but I wish it was saucier. Overall such a great spot to come with friends and try a variety of the dish. They also have a huge outdoor seating area that would be nice in the summer! read more

Chifa is a cool Peruvian-Asian fusion place in Eagle Rock. Great service, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The decor is fun, kind of retro. And we really enjoyed the food and drinks - the Brûlée char shiu was probably one of our favorites. read more

Please save your money & time and don't dine here. I've lived in LA my whole life, and truly Chifa was the worst dining experience of my life. My friend and I aren't the type to be confrontational or leave bad reviews like this, but this one was something else. We got seated, and it took about 10 minutes just for them to get our drink order, which is fine. But after he brought the drinks and took our order, the waiter knocked over my wine glass, also spilling the drink all over my pants. Accidents happen, but the problem was how it was handled. He whispered a barely half hearted "sorry," as if it wasn't his fault, and then proceeded to clean in silence and then walk off. We had to ask to be moved while they mopped around us, and there was still no formal apology or acknowledgement. During the meal, the only attention we got was a single water refill. The other tables were checked on, and they made us feel completely isolated and neglected. We were absolutely shocked by the lack of accountability and hospitality from not just the waiter but also the entire staff. And the food? We were confused by how anyone can mess up cucumber salad. The pork char sui was absolutely drenched in glaze that we took one bite and stopped eating. When your service is this bad, at least the food should be good enough to forgive it but it wasn't. Confused by how this place has a good rating. Very undeserving. Don't come here. read more

This restaurant was so impressive. From the bold decor to the mouth watering food and great service, they just do it all right. We were walk ins with no reservation, but they were able to seat us in the back patio. It was very pleasant, shaded with planters. The place is family owned, and they said they opened during the pandemic, I assume for take out only, and expanded since then. The food is a bit of a Peruvian-Chinese fusion which melds beautifully together. I particularly loved the seafood on top of spiced noodles, which I believe was a play on the lomo saltado. I cannot recall the exact name on the menu. It was large enough to share. Also the spiced okra with Szechuan spices was wonderful. And the house made black sesame cheesecake tart was well balanced and not too sweet. The perfect bite. The signature cocktails are creative, especially the Lychee Butterfly with gin, pomegranate, lychee. My friend had a cocktail with chicha morada. Very light and refreshing. It was truly hard to choose what to order, since everything on the menu pops! read more

After seeing so many delicious photos and reviews, I had to come and check out this Cantonese -Peruvian restaurant. We opted to sit outside since indoors seemed a bit stuffy. They have heaters and a tent. It was a chilly winter night and we felt warm so it worked out nicely. Our server was great! Very attentive and patient in explaining the menu to us. Now let's talk about the food! We ordered the Chinese fries to start. There wasn't anything special about them and for the price, I recommend you get regular fries or skip it entirely. The braised ribs were SOOOOOO darn delicious. They were sticky, juicy, fall off the bone soft and flavorful. Next up was the mariscos saltado. It had a slow kick to it. It was tasty and the portions of seafood and onions were generous. The garlic rice is definitely recommended to pair with any dish. The creme brûlée char siu was fatty, juicy, sticky and small. It's smaller than you would image, maybe a quarter pound of meat? It was great to try once, but it is on the pricier side. I imagined it would be pipping warm given the caramelized crust, but it was served lukewarm. Lastly is the sesame cheesecake tart that many reviewers were raving about! Unfortunately I didn't enjoy it as much. I love sesame, but I felt the crust of the tart was really tough and the cheesecake was too thick. If you're into dense sesame flavored desserts, this would be your jam. Overall I would come back to try their other dishes. Out of our order, the garlic rice and the ribs were what I would order again. Bon appetit yelpers! read more

Beautiful restaurant with green decor, green walls, marbly green tables. Service was great. Attentive and helpful. The server noticed that my son didn't drink his soda and they offered him another drink free of charge. The food was by no means bad, but frankly it wasn't excellent either. Nothing was crazy delicious or memorable. We needed more saltiness and flavor. read more

The place itself looks really aesthetic and pretty. The building is lovely and love the colors. Outdoor patio is massive and has plenty of heaters. Service was okay. They took awhile and it wasn't too busy. Could be the dishes, they did however come by only to refill waters. Food was okay. I ordered the Chines Fries bomb style. I believe the bomb style is just the side of green Peruvian sauce on the side. The sauce was delicious but the fries for $13, tastes like regular fries you'd get at a fast food spot. The lomo Salgado fries looked good, they had much more spices. I didn't get to try the meat but it was medium rare cooked. The Dan Dan Mian Vega noodles were honestly the best dish there. It's coated in this yummy somewhat thick peanut sauce e but it was delicious. Overall the place is a solid 3 for me. We did have 8 in our party. It says at the bottom of the menu page that 20% gratuity is added to the check with parties of 6 ppl and more. Tax is also included, so that's where it can begin to be more pricey. I felt the menu was overpriced. It was mid. read more

Very unique, beautiful & delicious menu here. An eclectic dining area that makes the food feel a bit more upscale. And it is immaculately clean! We love the Wellness Soup, and Trinity Rice. They have a very different har gow that must be tried. Maybe the best shu mai I've ever had. read more

I live nearby and used to visit Chifa fairly often. My favorite dish has always been the black pepper prawn, definitely a standout and worth trying. The rest of the menu, however, feels overpriced for what you get and nothing else stood out A quick note: if mosquitoes love you, avoid sitting outside. You'll regret it. My biggest concern with Chifa is not the food, but the impact on the neighborhood. The patio often hosts late-night parties with loud music that carries several blocks away. From three blocks out, it still feels like I'm standing on the dance floor. Unfortunately, this makes them really inconsiderate neighbors, which overshadows any positives. read more

Food was ok, I wish the portions were a little bigger for the price. But the milk tea cocktail they have here is my favorite drink in town! One of the best things I've ever had in LA! read more

After having this spot bookmarked very over a year, I finally had the chance to experience a dinner at Chifa. And wow, I loved everything about it. First off, I was dining solo and find that it can sometimes find a comfortable place to eat alone. I loved that not only were there tables for groups and 2 tops but high bar seating along the window for solo diners. The small space was cozy and the soft lighting really made the ambiance special. I traveled to Peru 2 years ago and couldn't get enough of "Chifa" restaurants -- this is a combo of Peruvian and Chinese cuisine. I ate at several places in Peru from the hole in the wall to the higher end versions. Chifa in LA is definitely on the higher end but very friendly and matches the quality of the meals I had in Peru. First off, the wine list is fantastic. I was so excited to see they had wines from Valle de Guadalupe, a lesser-known wine region in Mexico (just a 90 minute drive from San Diego). Not only that, but they offered a Cabernet Sauvignon from Vena Cava, the exact vineyard I go to every year with my partner and always stay at the winemakers home. The selection on the wine menu was incredibly unique and not the type of wine you'd fine at your local Giant grocery store, that's for sure! I was torn on my main entree since it all looked so delicious. I ended up going with the braised short rib. These were so delicious, though a little sweeter than what I'd usually go for. My thinking is that this place would have been absolutely amazing with friends or family to sample several items to combine the various sweet, salty and savory dishes. I would love to come back again with others to try even more. The short rib fell right off the bone and loved that they offered a wet towel to help clean off my sticky fingers. There is also a heated back patio if you like dining outside. But if you can, I'd recommend the main dining room for its incredible ambiance. read more

Chifa is special. It's Chinese food with a twist, the good kind. My fav was the braised pork rib. Super delish. The atmosphere is also fantastic. Delicately designed. I've been waiting for their mahjong night again. Gotta try playing with someone there! read more

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. So great to see such a beautiful restaurant in the neighborhood I grew up in. Definitely a must try in LA. read more

First of all, the restaurant itself is adorable. The decor has a fun mix of pink and green, and there are heart-shaped details everywhere. Even the utensils have a cool wavy design, and the napkins (or lap handkerchiefs? Whatever they're called) are a soft pink, which adds to the whole aesthetic. It's a great spot for a cute and cozy dining experience. This was my first time at Chifa, and I was excited to try it. I didn't even realize there were Chifa (Peruvian-Chinese fusion) options in LA, especially since the Peruvian food scene here isn't super big. I think it's a great place to start exploring Chifa cuisine, even if some dishes felt more like general fusion food rather than a good representation of chifa flavors. What We Ordered: Causa - This was delicious. The seasoned potatoes were soft and well-cooked, and the tuna tartare on top was fresh and flavorful. The aji sauce added a nice kick. Definitely a great way to start the meal. Dan Dan Mian - This was a little disappointing. The noodles were thick and had a good texture, but the sauce wasn't as spicy as I hoped. I was expecting more of that numbing mala or Sichuan peppercorn heat, but it just wasn't there. I know this is a popular dish here, but I personally found the flavor lacking. Brûlée Char Siu - This was good but nothing mind-blowing. It's wood-fired pork in a barbecue sauce, so if you love char siu, you'll probably enjoy it. However, if you're looking for something that truly highlights Chifa fusion flavors, I'd say skip this one. Black Pepper Prawn - One of my favorites! The sweet and spicy black pepper sauce was packed with flavor, and the prawns were cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend this dish. Mala Har Gow - Disappointing. It had a mala kick but lacked the actual lingering mala spice and depth of flavor that makes mala dishes exciting. Definitely not what I was hoping for. Cucumber Wood Ear Salad - Nothing special. Just a simple cucumber salad. Next time, I'd skip this one Yuzu Pavlova - We originally came for the Black Sesame Cheesecake since we saw it on Yelp, but unfortunately, they were sold out. Our server was super nice and checked for us, so shoutout to them! We ended up with the Yuzu Pavlova, which was good--light, citrusy, and refreshing--but again, it didn't really capture the Chifa flavor fusion. Chifa is a great place for a fun, stylish, and social dining experience. If you're looking for chifa flavors, this might not be the best example, but it's still a good spot for experimental dishes. I'd definitely come back to try more, especially since they recently started offering dim sum options. The plates are meant to be shared, so I'd recommend ordering three to four dishes for every two people and trying a bit of everything. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Came for Sunday dim sum with a gal pal this weekend. Don't usually do this but in ranking their Yelp criteria from best to worst, it goes Ambiance, Food, Service. No doubt it's a beautiful restaurant with zebra print walls and green chairs that look like they're made out of Cynthia Erivo's character from the new Wicked movie. Still surprisingly comfortable with their little backs. A lot of detail went into the aesthetics of this place. The plates are riveted and the forks are pretty, twisted gold metal. Dim sum was great, though I did expect a bit more Peruvian flare as opposed to traditional dim sum. This is not a complaint -- please fold my body up into a little char siu bao once I pass away -- but I was surprised to learn they are more a fusion restaurant than anything else. - Mala Har Gow was good, but not super spicy. - Scallop dumplings were delicious and we should have ordered another order of 3. - Siu Mai were the biggest I've ever seen! Yummy, filled to the brim and topped with roe. Delicious! - Steamed char siu bao were good but not the best I've had. Mine was rather small and mostly stuck to the paper unfortunately. Only came with 2 :/ - Lotus rice wrap was yummy, warm, though felt like mostly rice and very little anything else. Service was the only aspect that was really subpar. Felt like our waitress forgot about us a few times, despite being one of the few people in the restaurant. Took a very long time to place our order or get the check, but the food itself came out quickly. If anything, they should promote the woman refilling waters because she was on TOP of it!! Saw her three times as often as we saw our waitress. Queen of hydration read more

Went to chifa for my moms bday. The food was very good and flavorful but was kind of annoyed that we got sat outside. Was not aware that was going to be the case. I made reservations there because of how cute the restaurant was. But other than that we enjoyed everything except the pickles. NOT what we were expecting. Kind of tasted like chemicals, to be honest. Would not order that again. read more

Everything about this place is brilliant and inspired. Delicious beautifully presented food, lovely attentive staff

I've lived up the street from Chifa for several years but never made it in until last night. We had a marvelous experience and will definitely be back soon. The space is charming and inviting, with fun and lively patterns and colors. We were seated at a table with a view out the front window, which was surprisingly picturesque as the cars passing by on ERB add visual energy to the room. Our reservation was at 9 PM, so it was busy when we arrived, and emptied out steadily as the meal went on. Our server was bubbly and gave us a great rundown of the menu when she greeted us. We started with delicious gin cocktails, one with lychee and one with yuzu. We ordered the Tiradito, the Mala Har Gow, and the Trinity Fried Rice. The Tiradito was amazingly fresh and perfectly balanced. The toasted corn kernel was a surprising addition we loved. The Mala Har Gow was visually appealing and delicious, but we did not find it to be at all spicy, which was a surprise for a Szechuan dish. The Trinity Fried Rice was a masterpiece, with five perfectly cooked shrimp and a delightful accent of tobiko caviar. I wanted to order another. This may become a new takeout favorite for me. Overall this was a great experience. The space is fun and quite Instagrammable with many interesting details. I will note that the chairs, while charming, are not particularly comfortable, especially for someone recovering from a herniated disc. I thought service was quite strong and warm at the top of the meal, but it took a surprising length of time for our plates to be cleared and the dessert menu to be offered. We probably would have had another round of cocktails if they'd been offered. The delay was why we chose not to order dessert, simply because we'd grown a little tired. We will make an earlier reservation next time and be sure to give it a try. I am glad we finally made it to Chifa, we will be back soon! read more

Got to try this place after hearing about it through various outlets. It's situated in a bit of an odd location but I was able to find parking just fine off Lincoln. The staff was super nice and friendly and the vibe and decor was chic and trendy. We ordered the short ribs, lomo saltado, si yao chicken and veggies (more on this later) plus a side of garlic rice The food was awesome with my favorite being the chicken which reminded me a bit of duck. Short ribs were good as well and were my niece and nephews favorite but I found it to be a bit on the sweet side. The lomo saltado was good, grilled pieces of filet mignon and were super tender - definitely recommend a side of the aji sauce! Fries were nice and crispy as well Unfortunately they forgot about or veggies so we ended up cancelling the order but we already had plenty of food so wasn't too sad. Ended the dinner by sharing a black sesame brownie for the table. Tasted mostly like a brownie and didn't really get any hints of black sesame. Still super rich and delicious though! Definitely stop in if you're in the eagle rock area! read more

This place is OVERHYPED. Pricing and portions is def not matching up. They say it's "family style" which majority of Cantonese dining is. But portion sizes are kinda small to share with any party large than two? This place is definitely one of those spots that gets rep and reviews because the ambiance is trendy with cool seating and nice glasswares. Overall rating Ambiance 5 Service 5 (they were really nice and welcoming) Food/worth 2 So I guess 3 stars overall seems fair I got the Popo (Grandma) wellness soup and it was good! Growing up my mom would make me this as well. For those who never had that def try it very Cantonese traditional. But def not worth $11 a bowl. We also got the Dan Dan noodles, skewers, and soy sauce chicken. Which is crazy considering what they charge for these simple dishes you can find elsewhere for less. Staff were great and very friendly, but the price of everything was just not worth it. You can find all these dishes at SGV for half the price. Phoenix has mapo tofu and similar noodle dishes for a fraction of the cost just saying. read more

This place is disappointing. I've seen pictures on the website and Instagram, and the seating and food look good. The seating inside looks beautiful. When I got there, we got seated outside, which is disappointing. there's fly everywhere. The food was okay. We got the Si Yao chicken, which is very cold; the sauce on the side looks like soy sauce but tastes like water; and the chicken doesn't have flavor and is very chewy. I do not recommend this chicken. Brulee Char Siu was good; it was tender and on the sweeter side. Black pepper prawns were delicious and my favorite; they were very tastey, full of flavor, and crispy. For the dessert, black sesame cheesecake, $9 for a small piece, was very plain, and the black sesame has a very strong taste. The crust was falling apart. the customer service is okay. Over all, I don't like this place, and I don't recommend it. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and so glad I did. Not only was the food delicious, everyone in the restaurant was so nice. I was so worried about brining my twin infants with me but the owner made me feel so comfortable and made sure I had a great time. She went out of our way to check on us and even offered to help watch our boys so I can take a picture with my birthday cookies. Thank you so much for all the love and kindness!

Absolutely ruined our night -- avoid at all costs! Unlike many Yelpers, I don't make a habit of writing bad reviews, but this experience was so appallingly bad that I feel obligated to warn my fellow foodies... We came here to celebrate a special occasion. Reservations were made weeks in advance, and the restaurant was clearly informed about the nature of the evening. What followed was a total disaster. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we were met by an incredibly rude, rather classless and dismissive hostess who seemed determined to sour our night from the moment we walked in. She offered us a couple of truly absurd seating options, the kind of spots you'd expect to get if you showed up unannounced on a Saturday night without a reservation, not the result of careful planning and a heads-up. I tried, politely at first, to reason with her. It didn't help. She remained cold, unaccommodating, and unprofessionally curt. We ended up walking out. No meal is worth being treated like an inconvenience. Even if the food here is world-class (and that's a big if, considering we never got to try it), the experience was so disrespectful and tone-deaf that I honestly see no hope for them. Hospitality is the backbone of the restaurant industry, do yourself a favor - go somewhere else where they values their guests. read more

The 3 of us visited on a recent Sunday for dim sum brunch. I would say the ambiance and service is better than the food.  Being a Peruvian fusion restaurant, we didn't see any special fusion about the dim sum. The siu mai, har gao, lotus rice wrap, sesame balls, cha siu baos taste pretty similar to any dim sum in SGV.  (but cheaper, of course) Limited menu item the beet cake was different, but we didn't taste or see any lap cheung or dried scallop as stated on the menu.  The wok hey stir fried veggies definitely had wok hey taste, but the portion was very small.  We ended our meal with the black sesame cheesecake. You can tell they just took it out of the fridge as it needed to soften a bit. Perhaps their dinner menu may be more than ordinary.  Street parking only. read more

Chifa definitely sets the bar for excellence in service. From beginning to end, the staff were impeccable. I would give 5 stars just for that, but the food deserves its own highlight. The dan-dan noodles and mabo tofu were incredible! Great kick of spice but not so much that it overpowered the flavors. The decor was also adorable. Great date night spot as the ambience is very romantic. 10/10 recommend Chifa! read more

My husband and I had a delicious meal and an excellent experience here tonight! I was a bit nervous given some of the other reviews, but this place has won awards and recognitions, too! We live in the neighborhood, so it's been on our list for some time. I am so glad we finally made it. The food truly was the star, but the ambience and the service was also top notch. A few things I was worried about based other reviews: --Service. We arrived just after opening on a Thursday evening. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated, even though we didn't have a reservation. The server (and all other staff for that matter) was attentive and friendly. It definitely got busier while we were eating, but we never felt neglected and our order was all correct. --Portion sizes. We over ordered based on other reviews and took several boxes home. No regrets- we're already looking forward to lunch tomorrow!! --Price. Yes, this is on the pricier side, but I know first hand that Highland Park is expensive. If restaurants want to stay afloat, they need to charge appropriately. I felt that the price was in line with the quality of food and the location. We will be returning, hopefully soon! read more

Visited on Sunday 10/29 for the first time (which was their first Dim Sum Drag Brunch) and we had an okay experience. The hosts and DJ were great but the food and such meh... Service was as good as they could be considering the waitress mentioned that they were not briefed of the full scope of menu when I was asking questions.It was shocking the food took 1+ hour to come out, which snowballed the performance times. Many hangry people hahaha Food was just ok; the classic har gow was delicious, the bao (both pork and chicken) were horrible -- bun was dense and sweet and just really bad. The "Taiwanese pickels" was a joke for $7 and I sent it back as it was only cabbage with a few sprigs of shaved carrot and no lotus root (also small like wow). Dan Dan Noodles were also ok and expected more for $19 (tasted very peanut but menu didn't list that ingredient). It was also laughable they charge $3 for typical condiments that's on the table of any Chinese or Taiwanese restaurant table!!!!!! Drinks were weak, overpriced and came in a short glass. My 3 star rating is generous really, but I will give them another chance with their regular menu. The restaurant is very cute and since it's owned by a former fashion industry vet -- AESTHETIC BABY!

Absolutely LOVED Chifa, can't wait to return! Our group of 4 visited this past Sunday (NYE) for afternoon dim sum and it was fantastic. Ambiance - so cool and unique, very fun and "insta-worthy" Staff - kind, helpful, attentive, and fun. If we had any questions or needed recommendations they were so helpful, our tea and water were never empty and they were very sweet. Food - we ordered a lot to share! Beet Cake: stole the show, I don't even like beets and we got a second order, the chef even gave us an extra cake since we loved it! Mala Har Gow, Crystal Har Gow, Shrimp & Chive Dumpling, Siu Mai, Veggie Dumpling: savory, juicy goodness, you can taste every ingredient which work perfectly together and it tastes incredibly fresh. Char Siu Bao: on par with baos I've had in the past and the group agreed, solid option. Si Yao Wong Fried Noodle: we added chicken, this was so light yet savory we ordered a second one. Lotus Rice Wrap: this was a recommendation as the congee was sold out and everyone loved it, if you're unsure it's the ultimate comfort food. Drinks: ginger tea was so unexpected it had a sweetness and zing to it not like regular ginger tea, red wine was chilled and very light to compliment the savory dishes! Get the sauce trio: it really added to some of the dishes and lets you adjust to your preference! Can't wait to return to try their evening menu. read more

I was here for a small gathering and it was enjoyable. We were able to sit inside which is where the true aesthetic is and it is truly all green and pink. They do have an outside patio. Service was good as it was quiet while we dined but got busier as we were leaving. It has a Michelin rating which is cool. Bathrooms are outside on the side of the building. Some of the dishes I got/others got. It is not a fully Vegan restaurant but the people I was with with were Vegan so I tasted some of what they got: *Vegan Mapo Tofu (Wok-cooked tofu and Ground OmniPork in fermented bean sauce with Szechuan peppercorn, garlic, and scallion) -I took a little taste of the sauce as I am not a big tofu person. It was a nice sauce which I used in the rice. *Vegan Dan Dan Mien (Fresh noodles with spicy Szechuan sesame sauce, tossed with pickled radish) -I had read reviews of this before ordering and I agree with what others say. The sauce was thick and oily. Noodles were good but a little too clumpy when mixed together. -For the price, I could have gotten this for cheaper elsewhere and it would have been a consistency I enjoyed more *Vegan Garlic Rice (Steamed rice with confit garlic) -Could have had more garlic and flavor -For the price, could have gotten it elsewhere or made myself *Lavender and Truffles branded Vegan Ice Cream (Mint Strawberry) -It was very light but enjoyable and would love to try other flavors from this company Parking: Park behind the restaurant at either the CVS lot or off Lincoln. *Tipping: I hate that they automatically add 25% when there is a group of 6+. That is way more then I would have given and each person was able to do their own check. They should remove this. Overall, I would maybe come back if someone else was paying or if they lower their prices. read more

The portions are small and extremely expensive. The food is not good. The service is bad. I need to be asking for water. They bring the food for my friends. They didn't bring our food until they were done when we told them they said that they do family style so they bring the food as it's ready. However, family styles is when you bring big dishes for people to share. My husband is diabetic and cannot have fries and rice and they couldn't replace the rice or the fries for a tomato or a piece of cucumber or a piece of lettuce. They made us order another side of vegetables that cost $25 for five pieces of broccoli and cauliflower they give us a discount but at the end of the day he pay almost $50 for a quarter of baked chicken with those veggies they sell us outside is like a tent with all the wet do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Yum! This place is so cute. Love the inside decor. Ask to sit inside! Food is delish and staff are friendly.

Wellll. First, I'm Peruvian by way of my mom. I grew up eating chifa and chaufa and saltados all the time. My abuelita was an incredible cook and craved those flavors. so I really hoped that something inspired by real chifa... instead the flavors are highly Americanized. The marinade on the Lomo is lacking in umani. It's very overcharged for what looks like is a deconstructed LA version of what Lomo saltado is. The anticuchos weren't bad... but it's tragic that the aji is a separate charge when for most Peruvian spots, it's considered essential for the dish. Where is the Pisco?? Overall, it's fine... if you don't know what it's actually supposed to taste like. The service though... no complaints. Our server was fantastic. read more

Adding this spot to the list of romantic, classy date night ideas for the weekend. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is absolutely delicious--though it's definitely on the pricey side. One thing to note is that the portions are quite small. The staff was great about giving us a heads-up and recommended ordering about 6 dishes for a group of 4. For example, we ordered the ceviche and only got 5 tiny slices of fish, which felt a bit underwhelming considering the price. That said, the food is served piping hot as soon as it's ready, and the service is top-notch; attentive, friendly, and really accommodating. While I wish the portions were more generous, it's still a great spot for a special occasion or a splurge-worthy evening. read more

Overall 4 Ambiance rating: 4 Very hip atmosphere and decor. Loved the glassware. They have this banquette that runs along one of the walls and it's a little awkward to sit in. The design of it encourages you to lean back (which I would find more comfortable in a non restaurant environment) which makes you need to sit at the edge of the banquette if you want to actually eat over the table (or pull the table in towards you). The lights kept going on and off and not sure if that was intentional to see a more dim atmosphere or if someone kept bumping into the light switch but it was a little distracting. Service rating: 4 Just the right balance of checking in and also leaving guest to enjoy their meal and conversation. It was really nice of our waiter to allow my friend to sample one of the drinks to see if it would be to her liking. It wasn't, but I thought that was a very nice because it would have been a bummer if she had ordered it and regretted the decision. Food/drink rating: 4 Food for the most part was good. Some of it came out really quick and some of it took some time. Drink: Chicha Morada - overall: 3.5 It was ok. I don't have anything to base this off of, but overall it was ok. I ordered it with tequila in it and it tasted like it was premade threw it into a cup and they just top it with some tequila. We ordered: Pollo Ala Brasa - overall rating: 4 Seasoned really nicely and served over a bed of fries with aji sauce on the side overall it was pretty good. It seemed like a small half of a bird and the chicken was a little dry but the flavors and aji sauce made up for that. Of the dishes we ordered this took the longest to come out. Mariscos Saltado - overall rating 5 I think this was my favorite main. I love seafood and the tossed onions and tomatoes gave the dish a nice balance of freshness. Also served on a bed of fries with aji sauce on the side. The fries do get a soft because of the seafood and tossed tomatoes and onions but still very delicious if you like seafood. This came out really quick (not very long after we put in our order) which makes me have questions but it was really good so I'm also not going to ask too many questions. Dan Dan Mian - overall rating: 4 Of the mains this was just ok for me. I'm not the biggest fan of Dan Dan noodles (I find them rather boring and if I'm going to eat noodles I want them to have lots of flavor) but they weren't bad. I'd say average. Comparable to Joy's but without the peanuts. This also came out really quickly. Probably within 5 min of ordering. Black sesame cheesecake - overall rating: 4 This sounded real interesting. It was a nice balance of not overly sweet but you can taste the almond cookie and sesame Alfajores - overall rating: 4 I thought this was ok. I'd never had one before so I don't know what to expect or know what they should taste like but was just ok. Cookie has a nice buttery consistency. My friend who wanted this dish was slightly disappointed (she makes them from a family recipe) and said that they seemed a bit dry. Again, not sure what they should taste like or what the consistency should be like, but i thought it was a nice treat to end our meal. Overall solid 4. I don't know if I'll be rushing back anytime soon, but I enjoyed the food, the ambience is nice. Definitely will come back when I get a craving for Asian-Peruvian food. Parking is tough as it's only street and you might need to circle a few times. There's a huge gapped steel door/gate that you walk through to get to the host booth. Not the most obvious thing when driving by or by foot unless you've been before and or looked up photos of the outside. read more
