New Williamsburg hot spot alert!! This spot is perfect in between of not too casual & not too fancy. We came in around 6pm on a Saturday & were able to sit right away. Interior is bright, cute & great vibes. For food - we were blown away. If you are debating an app, 1000% get the chips & dip. It is so flavorful & yummy. My friend and I split the quarter chicken combo for our main and it was a perfect amount of food. Sometimes all you need is a protein and rice and this place delivered. The side sauce the chicken comes with was also so good - we had to request more. if you're looking for fun dinner vibes with great food - stop in! read more

Quality food, a simple but thoughtfully curated atmosphere, superb staff, and reasonable prices make Johnny's a place I fell in love with upon my first visit and had me already thinking about my next one. Peruvian pollo alla brasa has to be one of my most favorite things to eat, and Johnny's delivers with a juicy, generous rotisserie chicken that doesn't break the bank and can hang with the best of them. Served with a small salad and fried rice, a combo is perfect for sharing and will leave you full if you order their crispy and delicious fried yucca or another accompaniment. The service was A+ across the board and I was very happy with our server who was kind and went above and beyond. I felt at home and the family pictures that lined the walls of the restaurant added to that warmth and the restaurant is extremely clean. Williamsburg is beyond lucky to have an establishment that serves simple and delicious food with such a friendly atmosphere where your dollar seems to go much farther in the neighborhood. I will definitely be back to try other menu items and would recommend this for a group dinner where you can try so many of the delicious dishes Johnny's has to offer. read more

This was my first time trying this relatively new Peruvian-Chinese fusion spot in Williamsburg. It has a casual diner vibe and was busy on the Friday night I went. The spare rib combo plate I ordered was good, however the fried rice served with it was only slightly warm. Not sure if it was premade or left out while the spare ribs were bring prepared. The Aji verde sauce served on the side added a creamy and spicy touch to the dish. I also shared an order of wok-charred green beans with my fellow guest and enjoyed it. The beans have a nice savory taste (douchi is added to this dish) and the red chilies added a nice spicy kick. My drink to go along with the meal was a Yuzu Pisco Sour frozen cocktail. The flavor was refreshing and it had a good amount of alcohol. I would probably come back and try their other dishes, including their Lomo Saltado. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try, especially if you are interested in Latin/Asian fusion cuisine. read more

I love me a no-frills neighborhood stop serving large portions of Peruvian comfort food. Bring your biggest posse--there's plenty of room. Feast on the following: - Croquetas: Crispy and stuffed with potatoes and spicy chicken - Arroz Chaufa: A delightfully toasty egg and vegetable fried rice large enough to feed three people. Siiiiii - Wok-charred Green Beans: Complete with ginger-garlic sauce and chilies, the capsaicin will make your tongue sing the happiest canson - Lomo Saltado: Everyone's favorite meat and potatoes dish from ther Southern Hemisphere, and for good reason. What's not to love about perfectly tender stir-fried beef and fries mixed with tomatoes and onions in a delectable soy-vinegar sauce? - Half Chicken: Or whole chicken, depending on how many you are. You'll enjoy the juiciness and refuse to share the skin. That's a good thing. - Yuca Frita: One of the better versions I've had in a long time. Perfectly crispy but not too dry, and plenty of sticks so everyone can fill up. For dessert, we caved and got the only one they had: Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet. Absolutely not Peruvian in any way, but it'd been a long week and the cookie tasted damn good. No regrets, esp since it was served a la mode with black sesame caramel and dulce de leche. I also went basic and got the Yuzu Pisco Sour because who doesn't effing love this combo of flavors? Only psychopaths, that's who. Or if you're the designated driver, get the Ume Spritz for a reasonable facsimile sans ethanol. The place was packed on a Friday night, so arrive on the early side if you want to play it safe. But don't play it safe with your menu choices. Get it all. read more

Everyone raves about the Rotisserie Chicken and they were all right. It was moist and well seasoned. Other menu items were cooked to perfection. Jalea, crispy, large portion and not salty. Chopped salad we ordered 2 one for the table and one for my dinner. Yuca fries, well prepared and fried to perfection. Potato croquettes reminded me of my childhood dinner memories. Chocolate chip cookie dessert warm and yummy. Excellent customer service Small interior Recommend reservation read more

Went on a Wednesday night with a reservation but seems like it would be very easy to walk in. The service was nice, knowledgable and quick. The chicken is clearly the star, it's the ideal rotisserie-style chicken. So tender and the skin was seasoned perfectly. Worth getting extra aji verde, it's great with the chicken and fries. The caesar was a good starter, perfect size to share among 4 people. The dessert is definitely worth it here. Get an extra scoop of ice cream on the cookie. I'd recommend this place for an unfussy weeknight outing or a fun start to a night out in the Williamsburg area. read more

We came here on a Friday night and it was super busy of course, so I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time. The space is small but it surprisingly didn't feel like all the diners were sitting on top of each other. I got the lomo saltado which was absolutely delicious- no complaints. We also got the wok charred green beans to share which were super yummy- spicy and oh so savory. My lychee martini was super strong and yummy as well. My dining partner enjoyed his ribs combo meal overall, his only complaint was that the fried rice was cold. read more

YUM, YUM, YUM! It's been a long time since I've dined at a restaurant that had me going "hmmmmm" throughout the entire meal. We showed up early on a Sunday evening without a reservation, and they still managed to squeeze us in. We started with the sesame Caesar, and it was absolutely PERFECT beautifully dressed with just the right amount of savory, acidic dressing, and the sesame-saltine crumbles added an ideal bit of texture. The vegetable lo mein was also excellent: nicely salty from the soy sauce without being greasy, and the vegetables tasted fresh with a satisfying bite. But the ribs were the undeniable star of the night. They had a wonderful smoky flavor, perfect tenderness, and that sticky, delicious sauce that makes you want to lick your fingers clean. The price point was very reasonable for both the quality of the food and the area. If I lived closer, this would definitely be a spot I'd visit often. read more

Johnny's - Lo mein with vegetables, and spare ribs - Peruvian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

i definitely looked forward to this visit but i hyped up my own expectations a little too much :/ Johnny's overall is a great concept but definitely a little different from traditional peruvian food. Everything was super tasted and well cooked, except our second 1/4 chicken was cooked poorly. Loved the sauce and dessert! Super tasty!!! Cocktails were not super sweet and the crushed ice just killed the drink for myself. Bartenders we're somewhat attentive but definitely busy. Bartenders were kind and somewhat attentive. Super cool place but not my favorite read more

Happened to be nearby at McCarren Park and wanted to go for dinner. I saw the restaurant recently opened up in the neighborhood and was super intrigued - can't say no to Peruvian Chinese "chifa cuisine". The name Johnny's is unassuming but the food delivers. We got the half chicken combo and Lomo Saltado between three adults. Bonus that the restaurant offers highchairs for the littlest ones. Lomo Saltado was seasoned just the right amount. Not over the top and the sauce with the fries was delicious. The beef was tender and tomatoes were sweet and juicy. As for the chicken, they got it right - not dry but off the bone tender, even the chicken breast. We got the fried rice as recommended by the staff and no complaints. The space is new and provides a casual high end diner vibe if that makes any sense. I'd come back to try the other dishes and cocktails but wouldn't hesitate to order the same things. read more

I ordered delivery from DoorDash. It was okay. I ordered the quarter chicken with vegetable fried rice, another quarter chicken, and a side of fries. The chicken was good but I wouldn't use the word "standout" like in the Yelp description. It just tasted like normal rotisserie chicken that you would get in the supermarket. Pieces weren't that big either. They gave me a wing and a thigh for my side piece instead of a drumstick and thigh. read more

Johnny's - Side piece of chicken, quarter - Peruvian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great new neighborhood spot! This building's ground floor was vacant/closed for a while (I think a few years?), so I'm happy to see it filled with a spot I would return to. Most importantly, the food: 1. Rotisserie Chicken: Read another review that said it was excellent, and it did not disappoint! Super flavorful, great seasoning and moist. Would order again. 2. Wok-charred greens: These were listed as seasonal, and feeling adventurous we just ordered without asking. I think it was savoy cabbage - perfectly cooked and delicious as well - had the seared flavor from the wok without burn marks. 3. Veggie Lo Mein: Tasty. Slightly more liquid than I'd prefer, but would order again. Service was quick and friendly. There are a few other things I wanted to try on the next outing. Highly recommended! read more

Easy 5 stars! I had the opportunity to go to tonight and I know I'll be a repeat customer. First off, we walked in without a reservation and were seated immediately. The staff were so nice and helpful. They really guided us in ordering enough food without ordering way too much. And, the food....my word. The flavors on the chicken and ribs... the unique and wonderful salad... everything was amazing! The restaurant itself is cute. I love that you can see into the kitchen! This is most certainly the best new restaurant in Williamsburg. read more

5 stars because the sesame Caesar salad, vibe, service, and prices were perfect. 4 stars for the entrees (short ribs and lomo saltado) and drink (oo la-la). Overall very satisfying meal for the price and excited to come back and try the rest of the menu. Came in the Saturday after Thanksgiving around 7 and got a seat for two at the bar right away. read more

This new fairly small restaurant is what it portrays itself to be. It is plainly decorated and tables are well spaced. The service is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The menu is unique as it serves Chinese/Peruvian food.The Lomo Saldo is tender beef in a nice sauce with both rice and fries, yes two starches, but it works. It also has onions and tomatoes. It also come with a nice small side salad. The rotisserie chicken is nicely spiced and comes a 1/4, 1/2 or whole chicken. My wife chose fried rice. They serve one dessert, a chocolate chip cookie in a small cast-iron pan that is warm and not too sweet with sesame sauce and ice cream on top. Everything is delicious and priced well. It wants to be a place where families can dine regularly as evidenced by the many families eating there. read more

SO GOOD! The Caesar was light, fresh, and a perfect way to start. The chicken and ribs with green sauce were fantastic. The service was excellent, as well. So glad to have this in the neighborhood and can't wait to come back to try more! read more

If you want to have a good fusion of both worlds, come to this restaurant and try out Peruvian-Chinese style!! The decor inside the restaurant gives a nice ambiance and very comfortable setting to have a friendly hangout a simple casual date. Excellent service overall and very catering The food choices are simple, yet delicious and very reasonably priced! I highly recommend getting the lomo saltado: the flavor profile is excellent with bitable portion and evenly cooked! The half chicken was my favorite by far, both from the sauce and also the chicken was very tender, not overly salty, easy to pull like pulled pork and the sauce made the flavor profile very refreshing and contrast! Most chickens rotisseries are generally too hard to chew or dried out; but this was well tendered! Sometimes it is better to keep the menu simple and retain the quality! read more

Such a great new spot! Perfect vibe whether you're out with friends, on a date, or just grabbing a solo bite. We tried a bunch of dishes and honestly everything was on point. The jalea (fried calamari, fish & shrimp) was crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. Loved the variety of seafood and the dipping sauce it came with. The lomo saltado was probably my favorite--super tender beef and packed with flavor. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and went really well with their green sauce (just the right amount of heat). The ribs were juicy and well-seasoned too. And the yuca frita--definitely a must if you want something different from regular fries! The space has a cool energy. It can get a little loud when it's crowded, but that just adds to the vibe. Also loved being able to peek into the kitchen through the window. Flavor, atmosphere, and service were all on point - Already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu! read more

Had dinner with a friend here, and the food was outstanding. The croquetas were a delicious way to start. I also had the stir fried beef which had a really yummy but subtle sauce. And I'm still thinking about the chocolate chip cookie skillet. Found out it's a family-owned place, and you definitely get that sense from the welcoming service. The place was packed for a Tuesday, so people are clearly catching on. read more
