Chio's Peruvian Grill - Tallarín verde. Well done - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

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 ordered: OCTOPUS $42.50 PULPO A LA PARILLA BEEF TENDERLOIN ($28.79) (CHURRASCO A LA PARILLA) SEAFOOD RISOTTO ($24.99) (ARROZ CON MARISCOS) Everything was to DIE for! Everything so tender and juicy!

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

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

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

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

This is probably the best Peruvian place I have tried They have a few locations and I have been going to the Van Nuys one The service is excellent, and the prices are really reasonable I usually get the roasted chicken and also the seafood soup So fresh and so delicious Give it a try, you wanna regret it 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

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

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.

Really good food but seemingly understaffed. The only two waitresses (who were friendly) were doing so much and it was difficult to get a drink refill. We finally got our first refill when we were paying the check and leaving. read more

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. Once you're served, you cannot get a waitress attention unless you go up to the counter and get in the face and ask what you want. I will not be going back again nor will I recommend this place to anybody. I left feeling very frustrated and could not enjoy my meal. read more

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. This time I opted to try a new entree and went with the pasta fettuccine a la huacaina with beef. It was chef kiss! Full of flavor and good portion. Worth the price. 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

The food tasted very good, the server was super nice, but the place was small and a little too crowded for my taste. The price was crazy for what we got. For me, wife, and 11yo boy it was almost $200. The portions were small, the drinks were $5 a pop for 12oz, and the beer was WAY over priced. Then when I got the bill there was $6 convenience fee. That's just blatant theft. I would like to rate it higher but the prices were just plain criminal. If you're willing to shell out $200 for decent Peruvian food this is the place. But I don't think I even got 6oz of meat with my tallarín saltado. read more
