    Dinner out in the neighborhood tonight.
    Elijah D.

    Despite the middle-of-the-road score, this restaurant has pleasantly fed us on multiple occasions since 2021. On one such date night, our most recent, Chio's managed to deliver what they usually do - filling Peruvian fare that contributed even more to the confidence that we'll eat here again down the line. We're grateful to have a Peruvian place in the neighborhood (we're lucky enough to be in the middle of the two Van Nuys locations) and the time has come to talk about it. I got the pasta sampler - the Fettuccine Dos Sabores - house made pesto fettucine; a not-quite-Alfredo, Peruvian cheese fettucine, both topped with steak and grated parmesan. I'd be remiss not to mention the au jus that made the creaminess of both pastas shine. The result was a savory steak and pasta dish that almost ate like a cheesy stew - which worked. I had enough of the cheese sauce in my beard to attest to the positive experience. And the spouse got Tacu Tacu a Lo Pobre, Chio's crunchy rice plate. It was alluring because the crunchy rice included beans in its makeup. Of course, served with grilled steak, a fried egg and fried plantains. The spouse observed the menu and Yelp pictures, and she thought it looked as advertised. She just wasn't sure if the rice and beans were supposed to be crunchier. She would have appreciated more of a bite in that direction. Sometimes, the good places don't need to be four and five stars to be gems. The ones that are alright, that you don't mind coming back to, to have at your faves or try something new, the continued patronage says it all. Looking forward to having us another meal at Chio's soon enough.

    Went with a friend to try Peruvian food for the first time and it was excellent. Had the Salchipapa and Ceviche mixto. Our server was kind and friendly. Great place to stop by and enjoy Peruvian cuisine.

    Next time just order lomo saltado a la fries.

    Ok, $26 for lomo saltado which would be fine IF it actually had meat and not a bunch of fries. The 3 stars is for the flavor, which was fair and eating the dry rice and the meat made it bearable. But I think they "forgot" the beef (which is what I was willing to pay for and probably worth the price then). My friend ordered what looked like fried rice with chicken or something. Needless to say that was about $22 and he only had a couple of spoons and did not eat the rest. The other plates were overpriced as well but I only had this one and I'm glad this is all I ordered. If you want to overpriced food and a bunch of rice and fries, this is your place! If not, go somewhere else.

    The parking at this Chio's is the best. The food is excellent. My favorite dish is the shrimp chowder. It's sooooooooo good. Mom loves their ceviche. They also have incredible pasta. The service and cleanliness could uses work though. There's a note on the soap dispenser in the women's restroom saying it doesn't work, and there's no replacement. If you keep pumping ,soap comes out on the sides, but I'm concerned about who actually does that.

    Salty. We had a small, impromptu get-together last Saturday at my sister's house for our group of 6 people. We ordered four (4) Lomo Saltados plus two large rice. The Lomo Saltados and the rice were still tasty, but a bit on the salty side. Disappointing. Not to mention expensive. But food arrived quickly this time. Maybe they should go back to being slowm

    Overall a pretty authentic Peruvian restaurant in Van Nuys. Friend was in the area visiting so we decided to come here for lunch. Parking was easy as there's a lot and it wasn't super crowded yet. We came a little after 12pm on a Friday. We sat outside and the waitress came and brought us menus, but you can also scan the QR code as well. We decided to share the yucca fries, which was yummy, as was the bread and dipping sauce. I got the Saltado mixto which came with beef, chicken and shrimp. Hubby got the soup and my friend got the shrimp saltado. Everything was delicious and service was nice and friendly. Would definitely come back.

    Tim H.

    Parking: Ample parking around the restaurant COVID: No sanitizer anywhere on site but the server was cleaning the tables quite well on the outdoor patio. Customer service: Friendly and prompt customer service, no issues at all from start to finish Food: Lomo Saltado was amazing and hit the spot. Outside isn't as lighted but no issues from this location here.

    Aji gallina, chicken chaufa, pesto pasta were our choices. I thought it was good. The rice was the best hands down.

    The Pescado sudado with white rice highly recommend, absolutely delicious…read more I always get lomo saltado ( steak with fries and rice) absolutely amazing! You can't go wrong with any of these dishes... can't wait to try more dishes. Service is fast and the ladies are really sweet and attentive. Ambience is very chill and comfortable. This place is a 10/10 food taste and quality

    If you're looking for REAL, authentic, soul warming Peruvian food with incredible flavors and even…read morebetter people behind it, Asumare Peruvian Cuisine is the place!!! This was one of those dining experiences that sticks with you, and not just because the food was amazing, but because the hospitality made it feel like you were being welcomed into someone's home. We started with the Yuca Frita with Huancaína, and it was the perfect introduction to the menu. The yuca fries were fried beautifully, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The huancaína sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. That yellow sauce had a subtle warmth and depth without overpowering the yuca. It was comforting, and impossible to stop dipping. Next up was the Lomo Saltado and woah this dish alone is worth the visit. We ordered it with ribeye and chicken thigh, and the combination was incredible. Everything was sauteed perfectly with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, creating that classic savory, tangy, umami-packed flavor Peruvian cuisine is known for. The meat was tender and juicy, the vegetables were cooked just right, and the French fries soaked up all that flavor beautifully. Served alongside fluffy white rice, it was hearty, soooo satisfying, and incredibly well balanced. You could tell this dish was made with intention and experience. We also tried the calamari which was another solid hit. And a first for me! Lightly fried, tender, and not rubbery at all. It was clearly fresh and cooked properly. It paired really well with everything else on the table and made for a great shareable dish. But the real star of the night was a dish that completely surprised my partner and I! It ended up being our favorite dish, and it was the Tigre de Leche. THIS was hands down one of the freshest, most vibrant things we tried. The citrus was bold and super lemony, in the best way possible. You could taste the lime juice, the chile, onion, and cilantro all working together to create something bright, refreshing, and layered. It was zesty, slightly spicy, and incredibly clean tasting. One of those dishes where every spoonful wakes up your palate. If you're a ceviche fan or just love bold citrus flavors, do NOT skip this. It is a definite MUST try. Another thing that deserves a special mention is their iconic green sauce. It seriously went with everything we ordered. Creamy, herby, and just the right amount of kick, it elevated every dish from the yuca and calamari to the Lomo Saltado. We found ourselves reaching for it nonstop. Seriously one of those sauces you immediately wish you could take home. The customer service truly elevated the entire experience. Fabrisio, the owner, was phenomenal!He took the time to personally explain each dish, walk us through the flavors, and even share the story of how his restaurant came to be. You can feel the passion he has. Not just for Peruvian cuisine, but for creating a welcoming space for people to enjoy it. Super nice guy, super chill, and genuinely down-to-earth. The whole place gave off strong family vibes, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Shoutout to Melissa as well, who was serving us. She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. The service felt thoughtful and personal, not transactional. Over all we had the best experience, truly. Whether you're new to Peruvian food or already love it, this spot is a gem. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. We will be back and have already recommended this place to my family and friends! Thanks so much for having me. :D
