A friend recommended we try Peruvian-Chinese food. It came as a surprise when we found out the restaurant was Chifa Tay Pa! Why was it a surprise? Our friend is well-heeled, however, humble. We passed this restaurant on numerous occasions. Although it had an inviting outward appearance for a Chinese restaurant, we assumed it was another run-of-the-mill establishment. We were so wrong! Once inside, the Chinese theme and décor are powerful, yet subdued. Enough seating for lunch crowds or evening dining with families. We were the first to arrived, and received a pleasant greeting. Not only that, once we received our orders [in a very timely manner], we received help putting it into a carry bag for safer travel so as to prevent the contents from spilling. Although pricey, the food was worth every dollar and cent! Portions were far from skimpy. It took three days to finish the Pollo Chijaukay! The same with the Chaufa! The only thing that could've finished in a day was the Hot and Sour soup. So definitely no gripe about sizing. We definitely will return to either revisit the same items, or try new ones. Btw, the menus on the tables were in Spanish. There are other menus in English. You can view them up front at the order counter. If you are a fan of Peruvian food or Chinese food [our friend mentioned the heavy Chinese influence in Peru], this is your place! Get both together under one roof, fusion style!

Scam. Tryna over charge for fried chicken wings. Im telling the lady on the phone that their website has a different price and she getting loud, hostile so I hung up on her. What a weirdo. read more

Heard about this restaurant and decided to try it, it's a freestanding Chinese Resturant. It's been a while since I went and sat down in a restaurant instead of taking out. We didn't know that it was a Peruvian Chinese restaurant. The waitress was good. The food was good and I even asked them if they could change the TV and put on the hockey game and they did so that was even better read more

I heard about this place from a friend, so I just ordered a dozen fried Wontons. They were horrible! The worst quality possible. The meat filling was hard as a rock and the wontons tasted like a week old. Never again at this place! read more

I used to really enjoy Chifa Tay Pa it was one of my go to spots for flavorful, satisfying chifa dishes. The Arroz Chaufa, Pollo Chijaukay, and Tallarin Saltado were always flavorful and felt authentic. Portions were generous, and the fusion of Chinese and Peruvian flavors was spot on. Unfortunately, something has changed recently. The last few times I visited, the food hasn't tasted the same. The flavors feel muted, portions seem a little smaller, and even the texture of some dishes feels off like the rice being too dry or the meats not as well seasoned as before. It's disappointing, especially after having such consistently good meals in the past. Service is still friendly, and the restaurant is clean and casual, which I appreciate. But it's hard not to notice the dip in quality. I'm hoping it's just a temporary issue, because I really want to see this place return to the great food it used to serve. read more

Chifa Taypa - Next other pictures - Chinese Near Me - Margate, Florida

Had not been in a year so thought of trying it sit down on New Year's Day when I realized it was, in fact, open for business on this New Year 2024 holiday because it has a "extra" ingredients SPECIAL Won Ton soup I find tasty. I actually called ahead and the woman was friendly on the telephone. After parking in lot close to road and Bus Stop I was disappointed to see all the trash from that bus stop piling up along the perimeter of Chifa Tapay's parking lot. Oh, well ... that's outside. Go in hoping to sit in the storefront window (table) only to see said corner is gone due to a renovation expanding the Takeout Counter. Get to table and, despite nearly empty but for one female waiting for a Takeout order, server takes a long time coming over. No greet. It may have been something along the lines of "Do you know what you want?" Ordered two (2) drinks but she only brought one so I had to remind that I wanted to second drink, too, and could it be brought over? Placed an order for the fancy Especial (Special) Won Ton soup featuring shrimp, chicken strips, and pork. I liked the chicken strips the least. I wanted chopsticks and would have asked but server never returned while eating to see if anything else was needed. Employees such as the cashier and a male kitchen worker were wandering to and from eating as they paraded from the front of the house to the back of the house (kitchen). Cashier was eating a sandwich brought from home while he (male kitchen worker) took a seat at table by kitchen to eat soup while talking on speaker phone then picking his teeth with a toothpick. It grew loud with not only his speaker phone noise but the waiting customer loudly on her cellphone too. The eggrolls were veggie egg rolls and they were just okay. I expected them before the main Soup entree but they, in fact, came out after the soup. Food was almost as good as I remembered but seemed like a smaller portion than I remembered getting here in past. I'll omit the chicken from the Won Ton soup meal if I return. I disagree with employees walking around eating & being on personal speaker phone while restaurant is open. Just wish I could have had chopsticks. Three (3) stars. read more

I'm glad I arrived early because I took the last parking spot. Just myself today, so I narrowed it down to bare essentials, egg drop soup, egg roll, spare ribs, and shrimp fried rice. It's no longer as beat-up looking. They've cleaned up the front area and the entranceway, so the curb appeal is much better. The food is still excellent for American Chinese style stuff -- and the Chifa dishes are also excellent, but that's not why I went today. I wanted spare ribs. The soup comes out hotter than lava. Egg rolls are smaller, but they have natural roast pork in them, and whatever they are frying it in makes them taste phenomenal. Ribs are meaty with the typical sticky sauce you want on them. Fried rice, for some reason, tastes better here than any American-style place in the area, the Peruvians know what the hell they are doing and when it comes to roast pork they don't mess around either. I don't know if it's the specific soy sauce or MSG, or whatever mystery condiment is going into it (likely the wok hey from a 100,000 BTU burner and the oil mix too) but this is the crave-worthy fried rice. Nothing in Broward beats it for American Chinese. read more

I came to pickup an order of sweet and sour chicken and some shrimp fried rice. The inside looks pretty nice and there is a lot of seating available. The lady at the counter was nice. There's enough parking but the lot is a bit tight entering and leaving. I was disappointed in the price compared to the portion size. I remember when that much food from an Asian restaurant was almost half what I paid last night. What made it worse was that the chicken didn't taste good. I thought it was just me but my girlfriend said it wasn't good either. The taste and texture was off. The fried rice was good though so that was mostly what I ate. The temperature of the food was hot. I'd consider giving them a shot with a different kind of chicken but there are other local spots that give me similar portions for cheaper but still with great quality. read more

Multiple recs from present, removed and blocking SoFla FB dining-group members so when the queen dragged me to a no-fun north Broward run, we added a pair of stops, including one at Chifa Tay Pa, a Chinese-Peruvian eatery in Margate on 441 just south of Atlantic. Wish my poor Español was mejor but the gringo menu es bueno and they habla both tongues tho next time I'll Google Translate their website. Regardless, special won ton soup (plenty for 2-3 ppl) was muy delicioso; pork fried rice as awesome as an old online compañero had raved; chicken wings (the shellfish-allergic queen's request) were super-crispy and tasty; lomo saltado was solid but we'd've appreciated a little more beef. Took out spareribs for mañana along with the rest of the leftovers from the ample portions. A return visit pronto -- maybe with the Legion of Larrys + pals 'n gals -- would be great so we can sample the menu beyond our decidely pedestrian selections. read more

Best fried rice and chicken dishes. Service is also prompt and very friendly. Owners are onsite and very accommodating

The food is amazing. If you are looking fir the Peruvian-Chinese flavor fusion, this is it! Their service is ok, they could use more help when it gets busy. Don't expect anything fancy, the place needs a bit of TLC. read more

Maybe at one time it was good. But that time may have come and gone. If all you order is the lomo saltado or the honey garlic chicken, that's fine. But I wouldn't recommend fantail shrimp, chicken curry, the pineapple chicken, vegetables saltado, shrimp saltado to friends. Sadly. I wanted to like it. The price they charge does not match the quality they serve. read more

Best Peruvian style Chinese food in Florida (known by Peruvians as CHIFA) go visit, you will be happy

ordené tallarín , sopa wantan y chaufa, la verdad no me gusto para nada solo te ponen un poco de vegetales, no son tallarines chinos son spaghettis regulares y el arroz no tiene de parecido a un chaufa. La sazón obvio que no va ser igual a un chufa Peruana pero ni siquiera se parece y la atención de la dueña es de muy mal carácter no sabe responder al cliente. no volvería a regresar Y tampoco lo recomiendo. read more

SE LO RECOMIENDO! read more

I attempted to order food from this place and they would answer the phone and put you on mute so you can't hear them. Very disrespectful instead of just saying hold on. read more

It's a newer slightly better than ok Chinese restaurant serving a rather good full plate Chinese food at what are bargain prices such as half a duck for $11. There's nothing at all fancy about the place, but it is located in a new building with everything appearing clean as well as orderly. Downsides are that it fills up quickly, especially on Sundays with rather large groups of people seeking a decent family meal at easy on the wallet budget prices. Also, it has no liquor, no beer and no wine. The service is anything but professional however adequate and they often have either run out of items, such as scallops, or otherwise don't have certain items that are on their menu. For what it is, being a bargain price Chinese restaurant it's really rather good and, as a result, has become a popular destination for the frugal minded. read more

I was hesitant in trying Peruvian Chinese Food as I'd never heard of such a combination but I was pleasantly surprised and impressed in how delicious it was. I love fried rice and theirs is excellent. Also love Egg Foo Young and again, delicious. The service was good and the food came fast. It's now my favorite Chinese food place. Highly recommend it. read more

On a Saturday night they had no combination to nurse everything have to be ordered through qt

I simply adore this Chifa. I have been coming to Taypa for years. It is one of the fewest places that I can find Peruvian Chinese food. The food is affordable and is very tarty. The have a variety of dishes and the attention is fast and friendly. Currently, they are following Covid protocols and gives you the option to dine-in or pick up. My favorite dishes are Chijaukay, chaufa, sopa wantan and the tallarin saltado. Definitely all accompany by a good portion of wantan and Inca Kola! Will see you soon as always :) read more
