    Lomo Saltado
    Yelyzaveta B.

    Absolutely amazing peruvian food! Husband, who is peruvian, and I - who loves everything peruvian - were delighted by the quality and deliciousness of the dishes that we got. Green pasta had the dreamiest sauce. Lomo Saltado: The sauce was almost 10/10 rich, balanced, and full of flavor. The only downside was the beef being a bit on the chewy side, but flavor-wise, it delivered. I also wish fries were mixed in the wok. 4/5 Tallarines Verdes: Incredible. The sauce was silky, herby, and perfectly seasoned, the beef juicy and tender. Easily one of the best I've ever had. 5/5 Tres Leches: Moist, creamy, not overly sweet. Amazing. 5/5

    1/2 Chicken

    This is a casual chill place to eat - order at the counter. The staff was super friendly. It does take a little while for your food to come out but it's really fresh. The chicken was very tender and juicy, bursting with flavor. We didn't know about all of the different sauces so will have to try those when we come back. We also ordered the Chaufa Aeropuerto - noodles and fried rice with meat and seafood with a fried egg on top. Delicious.

    Empanada

    I have eaten from here three times now and trust me, it's well worth a visit (or an order, since one of those three times was delivery). I routinely find myself wanting more Inka Chicken :) The staff is pleasant and helpful. The restaurant itself is very casual feeling, but it also feels like you're visiting the kitchen table of dear friends or family as it's warm and inviting. You can tell the food is made with pride and love. I've not had anything bad here - the flavors, colors, quality of the food I've had has been top notch. I highly recommend the empanadas, the Inka wrap and the cheese ball appetizer (I don't remember what it was called). There is parking available - just don't judge the look of it from the outside as I promise you inside, you'll find scratch made food that gives your tastebuds a trip to Peru.

    My first ever experience with this food (Thank you, Lunch Drop!) and boy, oh boy, was it great! I loved the touch of the tableware wrapped in a paper napkin rather than one of those stupid plastic all-in-one things. If they take time and care with the details, don't you think they will pay attention to the food? If my one impulsive order is any indication, then YES!!

    Terrific spot for unique and delicious Peruvian dishes. The chicken is excellent, but don't overlook the other specialties. The ceviche was particularly nice, as was the Tallarines Verdes. We have been several times and everything has been very good. The starters and sides are nice, too and offer enough vegetarian options to satisfy the non-carniverores in your group. Don't let the fast food look of the exterior fool you, this is some excellent food! Counter service, delivered to your table. Everything seems to be cooked to order so it's not quick, but not unreasonable. Plenty of comfortable tables and a TV usually showing soccer (futbol) games. The crew is friendly and hard working. They offer 6-8 bottled beers, soft drinks, etc.

    1/2 Chicken with yuca frita and sweet plantains
    Briana N.

    There are so many choices on the menu, you can easily be overwhelmed. But I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with whatever you do end up getting. My friend and I shared a half chicken with yuca frita and sweet plantains and it was the perfect amount to feed two. The chicken was so juicy and tender. And I love that it comes with tortillas so you can make your own little wrap. We got medium spice level sauce (it was kind of like spicy mayo but im not sure what it actually was) but it honestly wasn't that spicy at all. And the sides were both delicious, it surprisingly wasn't too heavy.

    Papas a La Huancaina

    Food was tasty. Creamy fettuccine alfredo with a unique huancaina sauce topped with beef sirloin stir fry in our special lomo sauce with red onions and tomatoes. Sirloin was medium rare and tender.

    After browsing through Yelp, my dad and I decided to go with this place because their page said we could get free ice cream if we checked in... which was not the case lol! However, I'm still glad we came because their food was really delectable! Operations run kind of like a fast food chain, where you order up at the counter, grab a number, and they bring it to your table once it's ready, but it's definitely slower because their food is of higher quality and requires longer prep times. They even have a drive-thru, which I'm curious to know how long it takes for the customer to receive the food because it already took a really long time when dining in. It wasn't necessarily packed when we went during dinner time, but there were maybe 5 or 6 parties in total, including my dad and I. We ordered 2 starters and one specialty plate, which was just the right amount to share between 2 people. My dad and I waited for 35 minutes, and as I mentioned, it wasn't like the place was packed to the brim, but I also don't know how busy the drive thru was either. When 35 minutes had passed, and I was honestly starting to get really really hungry, I flagged a worker down to let him know that more than 30 minutes had gone by, and we hadn't even received the appetizers yet. Not sure if that made a difference in speeding up the process, but they eventually brought it out to us a minute or two later. Then the specialty plate came out a few minutes after as well. For our starters, I was originally going to order the yuquitas rellenas because I had heard positive things about em, but the employee said they wouldn't be able to serve it for another month for whatever reason I couldn't catch. Therefore, we ended up going with the beef empanada and the tostones baskets, which were both great options!! The beef empanada was pretty big. It had a nice outer crispy shell, and the inside was filled with juicy, tender beef that had a bit of a sweet taste from the marinade. I was anticipating something totally different, like ground beef, so this took me by surprise (a good one)! It was served with some kind of sauce on the side, it reminded me of the chuy's jalapeño dip. The tostones had to be my dad and I's favorite. Everything was so fresh and the combination of avocado, salsa criolla, and queso fresco with the tostones and rice was AMAZING. They loaded that thang up generously with all the toppings. Pretty darn filling and pretty darn good for $8. As for the specialty plate, I wasn't sure what to expect, I just opted for a chicken dish and read a few reviews on the causa limena de pollo. My first initial thought when I saw the dish come out was like woah this is smaller than I thought it'd be and I also wondered why it took so long to prepare because when I looked at it, I figured these were ingredients that could have already been premade. But I don't want to make assumptions, and plus, they made the presentation of it look so beautiful!! It honestly tasted like ordinary potato salad with shredded chicken to me, so it didn't exactly blow me away. I probably wouldn't order it again, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try such a delicacy. I went back up to the cashier and asked him about the ice cream for the yelp check in, and he said they didn't serve ice cream cones anymore. I showed him a review from a month ago, with pictures confirming that the customer received an inka's delight after checking in, but he said that was too expensive to be giving out for free, which I then asked why that customer was able to receive it. He said it's because she really wanted it. I wasn't trying to fight for it, but I just wanted to hear his reasoning, and I wanted to clarify whether this promotion was going to remain on their yelp page or not. He did say they wouldn't be offering it anymore, so I told him it should be taken down then. He let me know that he would consult with his boss. I only wanted to mention all of this as a heads up for anyone who is going to be visiting soon and was expecting to get ice cream at the end haha. Overall really enjoyed the cuisine! Service could be better, but there's always room for improvement! No issues with parking, and there's plenty of indoor seating.

    Yuca Fries & Potato Steak Fries
    Wendilyn I.

    The food here is consistent. It's very convenient that you can dine in or go thorough the drive thru. I've eaten here for lunch, gotten takeout and also picked up food to contribute towards a potluck. All the food is always a hit. E enjoy the family meal chicken with white rice, black beans, steak fries and yucca fries. As an app, the yucca rellenas are my favorite. The juices are also always fresh. My faves are the chicha morada, jugo de tamarindo (tamarind) and jugo de maracuyá (passion fruit). As far as entrees, I've really liked the Lomo Saltado and Tallarines Verdes. It's located at a fast food joint so you order at the counter before you take a seat and they bring your food out to you. It takes a little longer than an actual fast food establishment but it's because you can trust that your food is being cooked fresh. The service is always quick which is great if you're stopping by for lunch. They are very helpful, especially if you may not be as familiar with Peruvian/South American cuisine. Try it out, you won't regret it!

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

Overall, I…read morethink Ember Kitchen is certainly worth checking out, but I think I might order a little differently next time. First off - parking is convenient in the Seaholm parking garage. My understanding is that Ember will validate, but it wasn't apparent to me how that works and honestly I walked out forgetting it and having to pay the bill for parking - oh well. I came with a party of six and we were celebrating a birthday. The team at Ember was very accommodating. We were seated downstairs in their "Speakeasy" room. It's a bit dark, but cool atmosphere. There are other dining options if you prefer a bit brighter setting. We were served complimentary birthday shots! These were quite tasty - enough so that I ordered another round of those citrus based shooters. Everyone at the table ordered a cocktail. Nearly all the cocktails on the menu are going to be served in a feminine looking glass and with a flower. The cocktail menu is pretty much for the ladies. On the bright side, they have a good selection of bourbons, tequila, etc available for straight pours at a decent price. Not extensive selection, but I think a good choice - enough that I think you will find something to fit your price point and taste profile. Our waitress was top notch. Very attentive and paid close attention to the orders from our gluten sensitive guest ensuring she ordered safely. We ordered a couple small plates as appetizers for the whole table. Everyone loved the crab cake. I thought it was tasty but wasn't expecting whole kernel corn in a crab cake so that threw me off a little. Market seafood crudo - this is a fish appetizer and as the name implies changes based on availability. The night we ate was a Hamachi or Salmon option. The salmon had a bit more of a spicy sauce so we chose that. It was a hit. We also chose a tuna tartare and it was fresh, good but didn't knock our socks off. When ready for the main course - our waitress had a number of off-menu specials to tell us about and honestly many were very interesting options. In fact, we chose to split a 50oz Tomahawk steak. This was a huge steak plated on a hot platter, already sliced off the bone with some fingerling potatoes. This was honestly the most expensive part of the meal (no surprise), but also the least impressive. Now visually it was a spectacle for sure, but the meat certainly had pieces that were tough with some large pieces of fat. Now I don't mind the fat, but when sliced there were a couple pieces that were nothing but fat, other pieces still that were mostly gristle. We all agreed the seasoning was just missing, it seemed to have no seasoning at all. It was also quite charred. One of the claims to fame here is their Josper oven and clearly it can put a good char on a steak. Some in our party liked it, but I thought it was a bit much. There can be fine line between a good steak crust and a burnt crust. I thought it was a bit much, and maybe why the seasoning seemed missing. On the bright side, it was cooked correctly to order. My only problem was, for the price, this was a complete miss. We also ordered scallops and the morida shrimp. Both were excellent. These were probably worth coming back for. The morida shrimp come served in a bowl with a rich sauce that was enjoyed by the whole party. The scallops come pan seared and were cooked perfectly - which is key to enjoying a good scallop. Be aware that the typical order of scallops though comes with only two scallops - rather light even for a single individual, because these were not on the "small plates" menu, it was supposed to be a full entree. Great experience overall, but we just felt not quite worth what we had to pay for it. Overall, it was just over $150 per person. What could have saved it - for that price, the steak HAS to be on point.
