The food used to be so much better. I think that the prices went up a lot and the quality of the food went down. The best deal for me is the chicken special. read more

There's definitely a reason why this place has terrible reviews!!!! The owner is by far the rudest nastiest person I've met in a while. My first impression is she came storming out of the restaurant as soon as we parked in the PUBLIC LOT available. Last time I checked, if there are no signs saying "For this business only" it is free game as to whoever can park there. Mind you, there was NOT ONE PERSON even in her restaurant lol. Anyways, she comes storming out and yells at me and my partner from across the lot saying how we aren't allowed to park there. If she would have asked nicely, maybe I would have considered it. But no, she came with such aggression and entitledness. She explained that "I've told that guy so many times not to let his customers park here." Like ok? That's your beef with the owner of the next business. How is that my fault? I'm assuming this business is doing so poorly they can't afford a couple signs that say "For Peruvian Grill customers only." When I told her there was no signs, she immediately came at me with aggression once again and demanded I move the car. I honestly don't know who this lady thinks she is but we were considering going to eat there after since it's right next door. But now, I will never eat there and I will let everybody know what a disgusting entitled person she is. Nobody was even at your restaurant yet you wanted the parking lot empty for potential customers... sad. All because she wanted to claim spots at a PUBLIC PARKING LOT. read more

TLDR: Beware of the convenience fee! Maybe it was from card, but it was not communicated. The fettucine dos sabores is popular, but it was not tasty. Maybe it was an off night, or maybe it wasn't for me. - - - - - - I visited Chios upon recommendation, and it caught my eye because it was Peruvian. I had Peruvian once, and it was a remarkable experienced. A friend mentioned the Lomo Saltado, but I ordered the Fettucine Dos Sabores at the remark that the beef was the same as the Lomo Saltado by the staff. Dinner started with complimentary breadsticks and a spicy salsa dip. The breadsticks were okay, but that dip really hit the spot! A better pairing might have been with tortilla chips. After this, I was excited to try the Fettucine Dos Sabores from those Yelp photos, as it looked tasty. Unfortunately, the Fettucine Dos Sabores was not too tasty, and I regrettably label it as the no sabores. Both sides were lightly flavored, and it felt like eating pasta with thick, watered down sauce. I'm not too sure what that green sauce was, but it had a nutty taste, possibly an attempt at pesto. The yellow sauce tasted like nacho cheese blended with tortilla chips... It was not the tastiest combo. The fettucine can comfortably feed two, but after ordering it once, I can't say that I will be bringing a friend or coming on a date for this. The staff were friendly and but on the slower end. There was also no mention of a "convenience fee," and the total was ~$35 after tax and tip. read more

I do not recommend this place at all. The service is terrible and the workers are rude. My mom grabbed some napkins for her to go plate, and an employee took half of them out of her hand. They also took a long time to help her and were not very welcoming. The food is okay, but no restaurant is worth this kind of treatment. Customer service needs improvement read more

Muy mala atencion, las ordenes tardan una eternidad y encima te ponen la propina a fuerza cuando haces las ordenes online,

So this location is little slow and parking is not the best with only a few spots but the food is still delicious. Order the lomo saltado or mar y tierra. You get full off all the fries and rice. When the sauce soaks up the rice, oh man it's good. They give free warm bread as the appetizer. The green sauce has a kick so beware. read more

A restaurant shouldn't serve shrimp with the vein (digestive tract) because it can contain grit, waste, fecal matter and bacteria, making the shrimp taste bitter and look unappetizing--reflecting poor attention to cleanliness and quality. read more

I visited this place yesterday & honestly it's ridiculously expensive. The prices for the dishes are way too high . The food isn't good at all . The portions are very small & the lomo saltado brings about 4 pieces of meat and everything else is onions and tomatoes. The lady who charged me was also extremely rude . Very unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone . Food wasn't good , prices way too high & service is also very rude . Get better or you will loose lots of clients due to the lack of service your employees give & the quality of your dishes . Over priced for no reason . Zero stars !!!!!!! read more

The food and service here was great! My first time ever at a Peruvian restaurant. Would recommend going here for Peruvian food!

Chio's was a good experience! I had lunch with a friend. The fish ceviche was fresh, the green spaghetti packed with flavor, the Anticuchos very tasty and the Lomo Saltado was really good. The service was attentive, but the atmosphere, while okay, could use some improvement. read more

We go to Chio's when we want some pulpo (octopus) and their Peruvian meat dishes (lamb and steak). This is our first time in this branch since the nearest one closed (Tarzana). Also went to their other Van Nuys branch before but this spot is less hectic and it was quiet for a Friday night - not sure if it's because we got there before 8pm. First thing - very limited parking - you'll have to snag a spot on the street. There's indoor and outdoor dining. We sat indoor and ordered calamari, pulpo, steak with fries and fried rice with beef. For drinks we got some inka sodas, chicha morada and Maracuya... not sure which one is the purple drink but I prefer the passion fruit one. So we keep going back here when we're craving octopus. I cook different dishes and whenever I go to a restaurant I always tend to order food that I won't cook myself. Octopus is one of those so it's always expensive when you order octopus in a restaurant but I don't mind the price if it's tender and flavorful. Underneath the octopus are some corn, potatoes, shrimps and squid. The sauces - love the green one - I think it's chimichurri. Speaking of green sauces - the one they include with the hot bread is good too. Love it when you get warm fresh bread. We recommended to my son to get the other beef dish that has sauce but he opted for the one pictured below. It looked dry to me but my son said it was very tasty. He cooks and seasons well when he does so I'll take his word for it. We saw a heaping serving of calamari ordered by another diner so we ordered one too. I would say for the price they have bigger serving for the calamari. The mains we've ordered here are about $20-$35+ but can be for sharing. We tend to not experiment with food so when we know what we liked - we tend to go back and order the same thing. Eating out is not cheap these days so why risk ordering something you don't really want. Location is not the best so we will probably go back and check out the new Tarzana location since that's closer. I read more

Deserves zero star this is what a $26 plate looks like Basic premade, frozen french fries, and bland microwaved, white rice This is a lomo saltado plate I DO NOT recommend this restaurant. Tried to give them a second try and it seems they've gotten worse. Take your money elsewhere. overpriced and just a hype. this order comes with bread and I had to tell the lady after checking both orders where my bread was, then she got some plain pizza looking roll no sauces or anything ugh garbage this is not Peruvian food read more

I placed and paid for an order through an online app at the Van Nuys location of Chios Peruvian Grill. When I arrived, the restaurant was closed due to plumbing issues. There was no notice in the app and no attempt to stop or refund the charge beforehand. I then went to the Sepulveda location. The staff contacted the owner, and it was the owner's direct decision that I should pay for the exact same order a second time, with the promise that the Van Nuys location would reimburse me later. This was not a staff decision -- it came from the owner herself. I was understandably frustrated and did speak disrespectfully to the employee. I take responsibility for that and regret directing my frustration at staff who were put in the middle of a bad management decision. What makes this worse is that when the owner later called me (from a blocked number) to tell me I was no longer welcome at the restaurant, she clearly knew why I ordered, what I ordered, and exactly how much I was charged. That alone proves she had all the information needed to simply transfer the order or authorize it at the other location instead of forcing me to pay twice. This was a conscious choice by the owner to take a poor customer service route, one that created unnecessary conflict and put her employees at risk of dealing with an upset customer over something completely outside their control. Refusing to provide owner or management contact information, offering only a vague refund timeline, and then banning a customer instead of taking accountability shows extremely poor leadership. I wasn't planning on returning anyway, but this experience confirmed that decision. read more

Food is absolutely delicious. The calamari, the limos saltada are favorite's especially the green sauce. Everything here is good. All we could say was how delicious everything was . Everyone looks happy and I loved this new beer I found called Crystal. Service is always on point. You don't need to ask, they just know and have a great 6th sense. Ambience is casual. I recommend coming with a large group or an intimate date. You will not regret coming here. read more

Delicious Peruvian food! Restaurant was very clean and service was wonderful. We ordered the cevichios (fish ceviche with fried calamari on top) and it was phenomenal! We also got the mussels, aguadito de pollo, and half chicken with fried plantains and rice but the ceviche was the star of the show. All were delicious however. You must try this place out! read more

The lomo saltado was made with tough meat. It's NOT LOMO. They need to use real lomo, , not just the name.

I've eaten here several times and each time I don't know why I went back. The food is excellent. The service is crap.

I am so disappointed in the recent service I received from Chios. I order through DoorDash & they forget to give my drinks to the dasher. I even contacted the dasher & she assured me the drinks were not given to her, so I called the restaurant to let them know. The woman who answered was SO RUDE, and kept hanging up on me. I have ordered from here a lot and unfortunately I will not longer be doing so. I can't believe an employee could be do rude & dismissive, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

Friends invited us to an impromptu dinner here. Mussels were delicious. Flavors were clean and bright and perfect. The only complaint was the mussels are served on the shell. It was not immediately apparent that one of the shells was severely broken leaving lethal sharp edges. Fortunately I noticed before cutting my lips and tongue to shreds. Shrimp soup had a generous amount of shrimp. Delicious, rich broth with just enough heat for me. Enough for the four of us to each have a full bowl, and some to have seconds. I liked it but hubs was not a fan of fried calamari over ceviche. Why would you put something fried and crispy over something that will make it soggy? Roast chicken was tender and delicious. We were all so full that we asked for a box for a leftover pice of chicken breast. Friendly service and always answered questions about the dishes. I had many. read more

If you are craving a lomo saltado, papa a la huacaina Or ceviche This is your place! The service is awesome, I was greeted since I walked in, seated and brought water right away.

Highly recommend this place! read more

I usually have my go-to spot for Peruvian food but I decided to give this place a last minute try. I want to start off by pointing out that the presentation of the place is very classy, and clean. The servers were all super nice and kept a great attitude despite us being there a little late. However the reason I'm giving it two stars is because the food was not good at all :( I ordered the steak with two pastas and it didn't taste pleasant nor had much flavor. The pesto pasta was bland and the yellow pasta tasted cheesy like the macaroni and cheese box. The only thing I liked was the purple drink (chicha morada) and the steak. The yuca was dry and the huancaina sauce had no flavor. I hate giving places low stars but honestly for the money we spent... it was not worth it. I don't recommend this place /: read more
