Before this restaurant opened up, Wing-Lee was here (chinese take-out) which I was a big fan of during High School. So it left a void to be filled, so one day Chifa popped up, a Peruvian Chinese Restaurant mix with other Asian dishes as well. First time I ate here, I had the Chuleta for dinner. I thought it was really good and spiced nicely. We also ordered their famous chicken which was recommended in the menu and it tasted great as well. The green sauce that it came with reminded me of the sauce in pio pio which is addicting once tasted. This restaurant also makes a nice takeout spot for lunch and dinner as their dishes are reasonably priced, especially their lunch special. $5.75 for most dishes after tax. I ordered many times over the phone for a pick-up and it's usually ready in 7-10 minutes so I recommend doing it =) However the last time I ate here with my family, all of dishes were really salty, even the chicken which I thought was excellent my last visit. Maybe it was just a night where the dishes weren't up to par, so I will give it another shot. I give it 3.5 stars read more

The food is good here. Only thing I have to baffle about is the wait for the food. We waited half hour and it was NOT busy at all. The portions are generous, the price is decent. the food taste better when eating in. i had delivery service and it did not taste the same. read more

I was exited to see that a new restaurant was opening just a few short blocks from my apartment. I was not thrilled after eating there twice. I did take out the first time and ordered "Lomo Salteado" or sauteed loin. I was not thrilled especially because I've definitely had better in other restaurants in the area (La Casa del Pollo, for example). The second time I order Pineapple Chicken which to me sounded interesting. I was disappointed by how long it took the waiter to get my order and then I was disgruntled at how long it took for my food to arrive! The dish was not what I expected in that it was more like sweet and sour chicken. I will return for a third try to taste the chicken everyone seems to be raving about although La Casa del Pollo does serve up a mean pollo peruano so I hope this measures up. read more

I love their lunch special-super cheap for a lot of food! The fried rice is great along with the noodles and wontons......yummy. They were kind enough to deliver my food to my car in front of the restaurant. I will highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The Quality has gone down, have been having the same lomo Salteado lunch special every time I come here, but since November 2016 the quality has gone down, the food doesn't taste as good as before. Either the chef changed or they just decided adding more soy sauce makes everything better, sadly it doesn't, it just makes the food more salty. Minus one star for the level of saltiness. The fries that came with the lomo Salteado was cold and hard. Sadly it used to be my favorite place, will give them a few more chances before I stop going in any more. read more

Chifa Restaurant - Lomo Salteado with the Wonton Soup lunch special. - Chinese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

See all

Great price for Peruvian-Asian fusion food which is normally costly! The service is faster among earlier hours 1-3pm but overall worth the wait. Please try the green spicy sauce as it instantly improves all plates! read more

I came here with a friend for lunch at 12:45 pm. The place used to be a Chinese restaurant that my dad and I come from time to time. My father told me that the previous owners don't know how to make the sauce. My friend came here before with his mom. He told me that the owner is a Chinese who was from Peru. We ordered Papas Fritas, Tostones Frito, satay chicken, Lomo Saltada, and Aeropuerto Peru de Pollo. The sauce that comes with the Papas Fritas is similar to mixing ketchup and mayonaise, like some students during my time at IS 230, but sweeter. My friend was iffy with the Lomo Saltada because the sauce makes the fries soggy. The Aeropuerto Peru de Pollo is a mixture of fried rice and noodles, which reminds me of the Japanese dish sobameshi and subgum. The portion sizes are large. The place wasn't that busy when I arrived. While we were there, there is a TV showing golf and the radio playing latin music. read more

Tried this place about 5 times and my experience ranged from just ok to disappointed. The best dish I did have was the chicken, but I still think Pio Pio has the best Peruvian chicken. The others dishes I tried were at best just ok. Also no matter if I had them deliver my food or I went to pick it up myself it always took Way to long to get my order. I know its not fast food but it should not take more then thirty minutes to have your food ready. And I don't think I ever got my order in less then 40 minutes. As we all know you shouldn't go food shopping when your hungry. And I learned the hard way not to order from Chifa when I'm hungry. Because the time it takes to get your order your almost to week from low blood sugar to feed yourself. read more

The Lomo Saltado in this place is absolutely delicious (if you like hot sauce, make sure to ask them for their spicy green sauce ) [[After finding out of this place through a friend, I have made multiple orders from this place for the last two months(mostly pick ups) and i am never disappointed with their lunch specials/food quality and the prices. ]] Also, you should definitely try their chirimoya icecream I reccomend this place read more

Chifa Restaurant - Lomo Saltado was absolutely delicious - Chinese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Being 100% Peruvian I can tell you this place has the best Rotisserie chicken in New York !! Period!!

Best spot for Peruvian Chinese ! Def try the lomo saltado with fried rice. Huge portions for lunch specials. One of the best Peruvian green sauces around. I've had the chicken n the fried wontons. Can't go wrong with either. Gets very crowded on weekends. My one complain is that if a restaurant decides to only take cash they should have a few signs stating so and/or have an ATM in their establishment. That's not the case here so bring cash . read more

Chifa Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

It was my first and last time eating at Chifas. 1. The Chica Morada was an okay passoff of the authentic drink. The waiter gave my party cups of the beverage without any ice. Usually when you receive a drink without ice, it's because you specifically ask for no ice. 2. The plates given to self serve were very small, and would be a better size for a small appetizer. 3. There are bugs there. There was a small COCKROACH crawling on our table. I killed it before anyone noticed. When I was about to leave, my arm felt itchy, and when I looked down there was a baby roach. ON MY ARM. I swatted it off to the floor and stepped on it. When I looked at the floor there were other little baby roaches, that I then stepped on. Luckily I had already finished eating, so I didn't lose my appetite. I will not be returning to this restaurant ever. read more

I was super excited to try Chifa restaurant! However, my experience here left so much to be desired. The food was so-so, Pio Pio, Anzuelo Fino and El Inka has better food and customer service. I won't be back here and will return to my old haunts. read more

I used to love this place, but recently I found plastic wrapper in my food and the second time a roach, disgusting will never eat here again! read more

Good Peruvian Chinese fusion food! Close to the tastes of china restaurants in Peru. Very cheap and fast service, the only disappointment is that it's cash only. Other than that, you will not be disappointed with the food here. I've been coming here for years and have had take out and have ate in, and will continue to come here! read more

This place is disgusting we order delivery here and found half a roach in the rice took it back guy just like ok we make another are you serious very big WARNING stay out of this place multiple Peruvian restaurants down Northern blvd that is better then this dump read more

Had dinner there spent about $60 tips included. Never had Peruvian before....well we've tried it. Order the chicken, steaks, and the shrimp appetizer with drinks. Very ordinary dishes, nothing out of the ordinary. I can get this in any Latino restaurant. I see people having fried rice and Chinese foods. But you can get that in any chop suey joints better and cheaper. Maybe it's the Peruvian thing. Anyway, what do I know? read more

Chifa comes from the word chow fan in chinese. Since there was a huge migration of chinese immigrants to peru. There was a marriage of cuisines. Chifa is chinese style cooking made with peruvian ingredients. This by no means is chinese people imitating peruvian food. This is a demonstration of the influence of chinese in peruvian cusine. Chifaerias in peru are plentiful and popular. You can spot any chifa spot in peru easily. And if you ask any peruvian local they can tell you the origins of chifa, the story will echo the same. This is a place i have long sought out for, unfortunately the food isnt as good as peru. Fortunately it can be a prize winner considering this is the only place dedicated to chifaerias. This is definitely a no frills kind of place and prices are inexpensive. There are always huge families packed in this restaurant and getting a table is impossible on the weekends. Do yourself a favor and try the Sam si which is a staple in peru. read more

This was my first time trying peruvian food and Omg I love this place.. Great customer service, Although when i walked in the receptionist was eating.. If you're into spicy ask for the aji verde sauce i piratically drank that sauce. This place is really cheap for good quality and a good amount of food on your plate and the waiters are very knowledgeable. read more

Chifa Restaurant - Lomo Saltado - Chinese Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Food is very good, the Chinese style Peruvian fills amazingly... the service sucks... overall 4.5 for food and 2.5 for service.

This is my family's go to place to get take out chicken from. We always get the whole chicken that comes with rice and a salad. The green sauce that comes with it is really good too. Never sat and ate at the restaurant but will have to try it. Only downside is they only take cash. read more

A delicious fusion of Peruvian and Asian Cuisine.... A "Combinado" or an "Aeropuerto" mmmhh #delissshh and to finish Helado de Lucuma... #divinnne. read more

I'm Peruvian as well and I can tell you that this place has the best chifa and soup. I recommend anyone. The hot sauce is amazing and the service is fast. I have no complaints about this place. read more

This is my most go-to restaurant anytime. Love their food. They have variety of fried rice and we cannot stop trying new their fried rice every time we go there. Their wonton soup reminds me of my grandma's cooking and it's hard to find good wonton soup like this in NYC. We ate less sodium but their food always has perfect and tolerate-able salt content compare to many other restaurants. We are so happy to find this gem through our good friend! read more

Very bad service, the wait for a table is insane and once sitted the wait was even worse.. Only reason we stayed was because we had cravings to eat here for a while. Very Bad service. read more

This another attempt to bring something different to this great city but it doesn't work.This are just chinese people trying to appeal to the latin community.Food is was ok,there are more Chinese plates and decorations than actual Chifa food.Chifa suppose to have that Peruvian/chinese flavor,this feels more chinese than anything.The decor is ok(if it was a chinese restaurant),the beers choices are limited(when I ask for the peuvian brands they said they were finish)i mean come on,the chicha morada felt more like a bottled one than a homemade as they claim.The only thing I could rescue from this place was the service,they are very attentive.Overall is an ok place to eat. P.S.;they don't accept credit cards,so be prepared to either come with cash or get some from their atm machine. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is above average but what really makes this spot is the green sauce. It is probably one of the best sauces I've ever had in my life. I put it on every dish I get there. It's amazing. Their rotisserie chicken is beautifully cooked and juicy. It's really really good. Best of all, it's not expensive at all! I've come here with my buddy plenty of times and $25 can really leave you super stuffed with packing your plate to go! All in all, definitely recommend. Gets a bit busy on weekends but that's normal. They only accept cash in case anyone was wondering. 10/10 read more

Went back again to try more things. Conclusion: still go with the rotisserie chicken. We tried a few other items, mostly what seemed to be classic Peruvian-Chinese dishes. Tallarin Saltado was dubbed as a popular chifa dish, consisting of thin egg noodles pan fried and topped with mixed Chinese vegetables and chicken. The quality of the chicken was average and the sauce could have been lighter. Noodles themselves tasted more like instant ramen noodles. It was delicious in that Chinese-take-out-tastes-so-good-but-is-probably-bad-for-me sort of way. Beyond that, the noodle choice kind of made me chuckle, reminding me of the days when I ate a lot of instant ramen. Kam Loo Wantan was the unofficial party plate. Imagine monster fried wontons topped with sweet & sour sauce and chunks of chicken, pork and shrimp. It's a good plate for sharing. My southern wife (who, by default, likes all things fried) loved the wontons, whereas I was more into the meat content. Oh well, both sides win. Both dishes were interesting and shareable. But none reached the superlative level of the rotisserie chicken. It still steals the show here. Moist white meat, sharp spice blend, cool sauce, crisp skin. And by overhearing all of the take-out orders, it seemed like everyone and their mother were stopping by to pick up a whole rotisserie chicken to take home. Trust me: rotisserie chicken. read more

Love this place. Happy with pretty much everything I've ordered from here. Lunch special is amazing, but we normally order take-out. (I don't recommend ordering for delivery - I tried once and was unable to communicate properly with the guy on the phone, though I was speaking quite clearly... he had to get one of the waiters to finish taking the order. Not thrilled...) So, we take a walk and get take out now. ;) Didn't bother me enough to stop going! read more

I stayed in Peru for a month once, and this is exactly what I remember eating at chifa restaurants. Plus they have a whole bunch of extra dishes I never saw or tasted there! My friends and I all enjoy this food and think they are tastier and better options than your usual "chinese" joint. The price is right, and the delivery is efficient! read more

I love hearing the words "Chifa" as I know I'm going to eat good that day. The food is so delicious and I highly recommend their wonton soup. The menu has a broad variety and all foods taste amazing. Service is good but can be better read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place. But I didn't get the same experience the food was meh and cold. Like they warmed it up in a microwave. the service was meh too. read more

I've been here since the original Wing Lee (friends of my parents) were there and then "New" Wing Lee took over. Chifa just doesn't cut it for me. The chicken's WAAAAY too salty for my liking and they took away the sushi/sashimi option. Maybe it has to to do with their B rating? The dish that I DO like is one that is made of beef, french fries, and cilantro. Other than that, I'd rather have the Indian food next door. :) read more

I really like this place, is hard to find a Peruvian Chinese restaurant in New York, that actually has the right flavor, and this is place is almost there. Just don't order from the lunch menu, order from the specials! read more

I'm Peruvian and the food and taste are like eating chifa in Peru!!! Best Peruvian chifa in NY read more

Foods are great, waiters are very nice, must try the wonton frito!!! The price are very reasonable! Will continue order every week, good luck! read more

I am Peruvian, and I ordered tallarin saltado and Ti Pa Kay chicken (sweet & sour) and all I can say that is the best chifa I've eaten in all the United States till now. Delivery on time, before than expected, food very warm, I recommend this place 1000000 times. read more

The good: Chicken tasted fresh. Wonton soup tasted good. Waiters were friendly and courteous. The bad: Rice was mushy. Pollo Ti Pac Kay wasn't sweet as expected. The Chaufa Pollo seemed a bit bland. I wouldn't order the Ceviche either. It's just not their specialty and there are better ones around. Also, the waiters seemed to need more help as they were literally running around the whole time I was here. I also wanted a ketchup with my fries but they never got it for me so I had to literally get up and go to the back to get it myself. Overall, my experience was decent. Pio Pio however is a better option to go if you want more casual Peruvian food that tastes better. read more

0 stars. It was my favorite place to eat some good chifa . But last week I went and order the duck soup. I tasted the duck and it taste like it was rotten. I told the waiter that the soup tasted funny. And instead of telling me sorry he was there arguing saying he didn't get no complaint about the soup. Well I ended up taking a ice cream . Very disappointed. read more

Since they are 2 block away and deliver, this has been my Peruvian restaurant if I feel lazy going out to eat. The price is reasonable and for the price the food is good. read more
