    Salad with beets, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and a delicious mayo-based dressing
    Gale K.

    Very highly recommended by someone who works in the area. Stopped in for lunch at 11:30. At first I didn't think the place was open because I couldn't see anyone inside and the lights were very dim. I ordered the quarter chicken with fries and salad. I also ordered what I thought was a salsa, however, it turned out to be very thinly sliced red onions with parsley and lemon juice. It was a nice accompaniment to the chicken. The salad had 2 slices of beet and 2 slice s of tomato on a bed of iceberg lettuce. The dressing was mayo based with some herbs and was a nice choice. I could have done with less lettuce though. The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. The chicken skin of the leg and thigh was crispy and delicious. The meat directly beneath the skin was dry and hard. The rest of the chicken was tender though. Flavors? Ah - I was expecting more depth of flavor but it was ok. The fries were hot, crispy, and plentiful. The restaurant is situated in a strip mall next to a restaurant beauty supply store and a laundromat. It was a very cold day and many people ordered soup - they offered several. Not a bad experience, but not unlike other Peruvian restaurants I've experienced.

    Hidden 5 star ceviche gem! We enjoyed the authentic Peruvian fresh fish with plenty of octopus and thinly sliced onions and delicious zesty juice :)

    Bad customer service / does not acknowledge me even though standing in front of register with menu in hand. I had to walk out.

    Went there to get food and stood in front of the yng lady for 15 mins with menu in hand and she didn't even acknowledge me. After waiting awhile I had to ask if someone can help. Not rude .. jst asked the question. Owner heard me and stated , 'chicken is not ready for an hour'. Wow! Won't ever go back! Guess my money is not green.

    If you want to eat amazing Peruvian food or just something tasty and relatively healthy, go here! We absolutely love this charming little neighborhood restaurant. The food and service never disappoint. The portions are substantial, especially for the low price. Also, the restaurant is BYOB! Everything is fresh, delicious, and authentic. If you haven't made it here, you're missing out! Recommendations: Churrasco (skirt steak), Mixed Ceviche, Mussels, and Roasted Chicken.

    We live pretty close to them so we are often there ordering the skirt steak with rice and beans or their ceviche.

    Ordered: 1 Whole Rotisserie Chicken (~$15) with onions…read more Medium Rice (~$6): half Pigeon Pea Rice & half Moro Rice Maduros (~$5) Jupiña Pineapple Soda (~$2) Aya's take: John's Fried Chicken is a Union City classic and I'm glad I finally stopped by. They're known for their incredible Rotisserie Chicken which I can confirm is in fact incredible. It's flavorful, juicy, deliciously roasted, and tender. The chicken skin was crispy and rich in flavor but literally the dark and white parts were equally tasty. Honestly probably some of the best Rotisserie chicken I've ever had. My favorite piece was the thigh, super juicy and delicious. The onions were sweet, crisp, and refreshing - I've never had this with a rotisserie chicken before but it's a game changer. They also serve it with their hot sauce which was both smoky and zesty. The sides I got are a non-negotiable, in my opinion. Both the Pigeon Pea Rice & Moro Rice were well-seasoned, fluffy, and went great with the Rotisserie chicken. The portion is also amazing for the price; it was easily 4 servings! The Maduros were extremely oily but I love the savory-sweet balance you get from them along with the chicken and rice. Super delicious! The Jupiña Pineapple Soda was a good try but could be skipped next time. Note: their menu has cash and credit card prices so you will be paying slightly more per item if you pay with card. All in all, it was an amazing meal that hit the spot and great value! Highly recommend.

This place is over priced and the picture they advertised on their website is fake. So be aware the chicken is very small. NOT WORTH IT I SPEND MY MONEY AND I'M STILL HUNGRY.

My first time at this location and the sticky wings were a hit for my family. The half rack of baby back ribs were soft and flavorful and the bacon, cheese and onion burger was also delicious. I also enjoyed my passion fruit frozen margarita. The flavor was not on the menu but our waitress recommended it. Will definitely be returning again!

I was expecting it to be busy on a Friday night, but I was pleasantly surprised. The space is pretty big, with a lot of lighting and no loud music. Our waiter was really nice. The restaurant is next to LA Fitness, and the parking deck is pretty close and convenient. I wanted to walk around after dinner, but this is not like an outside mall, so things aren't too close (and there's too much traffic). I ordered: - Crispy shrimp starter: very tasty, and a pretty big portion. It came with tartar sauce, but no cocktail sauce. - Tempura broccoli: this was surprisingly delicious. I love broccoli, so I don't know why it needs to be fried in general lol. But, the batter is not thick or overwhelming, and the broccoli is not raw or overcooked. It was pretty tasty (it doesn't come with any sauce, and you get a pretty big portion). - Super Smokehouse Combo: This was enough for too people (I shared with with my partner). My favorite was summer sausage, which was served over a piece of white bread. The pulled pork was tasty, and served over half of a bun. The brisket (my second favorite) was delicious and served over the other half of the bun. The ribs were saucy and fell off the bone. I should have ordered a small pina colada, but I got a medium - but no worries, I was able to get a to-go cup and take it with me! NOTE: I would have given this place 4 stars, but I was put off by the guy trying to sell us pictures. After we ordered, a random guy just came up to us wanting to take pictures without any context. Afterwards, he came to us with them printed out, but doesn't explain if they are free (obviously not) or how much he is charging. Next time I'll know to politely decline.

    "Matter of fact, I'll take four chicken fingers!"…read more You can't visit NYC without hitting up the massive, neon-lit Raising Cane's flagship location in Times Square. This location has cute Raising Cane's merchandise. The energy inside is wild, but the real question was: does the food actually live up to the massive hype? I came straight here chasing that legendary crispy, saucy bite--and it did not disappoint. The chicken fingers were piping hot, incredibly tender, and practically standard-issue vessels for that iconic Cane's Sauce. The classic crinkle-cut fries were solid, but the real sleeper hit is always that buttery, pillowy Texas toast. When you assemble the ultimate bite--chicken, sauce, toast, and a fry-- it's devine. It's fast, it's chaotic, and it's a total Times Square experience. If you're looking for a quick, comforting, and undeniably crispy late-night bite in the city, this flagship location delivers exactly what you're craving. The staff is top notch and the DJ kept the energy going!

For being in such a busy tourist area, everything ran surprisingly smoothly. The line moved quickly and our food came out fast and fresh. I was especially impressed with how clean it was. The staff stayed on top of everything, constantly clearing tables and wiping things down even though the place was completely packed. The only downside was how hard it was to find seating since it was so busy, but that definitely wasn't a deal breaker. The energy, service, and efficiency made it worth it. 10/10. We don't have a raising canes back home so this was a great stop in Times Square!
