La Union Restaurant Chifa Peruano - Chinese Near Me - Queens, New York

I normally wouldn't do this, but there's this one lady who works there who's ridiculously rude, lazy, dirty, and sleazy. Light skinned, heavy-set hispanic lady. How she manages to keep her job at a restaurant with those traits is way beyond me! I walked in to see her handling food with her bare hands. Those same hands were handling dirty rags to wipe down the counter. She speaks to you without looking at you as if she's too good for her job, and then takes her time to ask what you'd like, as if I'm standing by her counter to just stare at her. The meal was fine- chicken crackling with white rice and a nice lime sauce for the chicken. I forgot about my disliking the lady. I walk up to the counter and put my credit card out. Again, she looks at me ready to pay and she continues to clean as if I'm at the counter just to look at her. After she got done wiping down the counters, she walked up to me to charge my card. Before charging it, she says it's 15.12. No problem. She brings me a receipt charging me 16.64. The money part is not an issue. I traditionally tip no less than 15%. But being a person of principle, I asked why'd she charge me more. She tells me the bill came out to 15.50 plus 1.50 tax. Again. It's not the amount. It's the principle. I calculated the 11.50 for the meal plus the 2.50 for the drink (which her coworker said was 2.00) plus 8.875% tax. That equals 15.24. And when I showed it to her, she tells me that I'm accusing of her of stealing from me. I said no, not at all. I was simply trying to understand the math cause it didn't add up. Rather than apologize for the error, she made up about 8,000 excuses to justify why she charged that amount, one of which was "the machine automatically charges more", and insulted me for inquiring about the additional charge. I don't care about the amount of money. But to insult a customer who's simply inquiring about the charges is unacceptable. I would never go back there, and hopefully none of my friends or family do either. Go to Costa Verde just a few blocks down. The food is great, and they care about their customers. PS- I'm convinced she doesn't throw away the unused sauce she serves her customers! I just realized I posted about that a while ago.

La Union Restaurant Chifa Peruano - two people at a counter - Chinese Near Me - Queens, New York

This place was well worth the journey on a rainy spring night. I was a little ambivalent about the trek after a long day and starting dinner nearly at 9, but once we ordered the food made it all worth it. We ordered the sopa fuchi fu, best described by Edible Queens as egg drop soup on steroids with chicken and noodles and lots of cilantro; the kimlau wonton, a bold take on sweet and sour with heavily fried chunks of "wonton", snow peas, peaches AND pineapple; the chiu jau kay, a lightly fried chicken dish with a dense, mysterious batter, and last but not least, the special fried rice, a friendly and unassuming crowd pleaser. Yet another one of the myriad reasons Queens and NYC by default is such an amazing place. read more

See all

I had high expectations after reading reviews in the edible Queens magazine and on the Serious Eats website and was disappointed. The service was a little slow, especially for a Friday night. There were 2-3 other tables there. I've never had chinese-peruvian food and didn't know what to expect, maybe I didn't order the right thing? I ordered the Egg Drop Soup (one article stated it was egg drop soup on crack). It was definitely interesting, with roast pork and dark-meat chicken in it, vermicelli glass noodles, scallions, and cabbage. But the overall flavor of the soup seemed somewhere in-between and lacking. Same for the Chi jau kay that was recommended. It took a long time waiting for this dish. The chicken was breaded and cooked perfectly, but the light brown sauce that it was sitting on top of was neither too salty or sweet. It seemed slightly flavored by soy sauce, but nothing that called to mind the rich flavors of latin cooking- or chinese actually. My friend ordered the pork chops with tamarind sauce. What she got was sliced roast bbq (chinese style) pork with a sort of red sweet & sour sauce on top and peach halves, sauteed with pea pods. Not what we expected, and no tamarind flavor. I'm wondering if they ran out of pork chops. The fried plantains were good, and their green sauce that accompanies each meal was Awesome- just spicy enough, but very flavorful. I wish the food was the same. They ran out of the chica moradao, I was looking forward to it. I'd like to come back for lunch and try their rotisserie chicken, but there are other places that are move convenient, if you're just going for the rotisserie chicken. Getting here wasn't too difficult, take the R to Grand Ave, and catch the Q58. It drops you right in front of the restaurant. The neighborhood doesn't seem to have much else going on (apparently it's Corona, but bordering Elmhurst), glad I didn't walk. read more

This place has delicious food. But unfortunately due to the lack of service I give this only 4 stars. Also beware of the check because they will hide more things on it. The food is good, actual Chinese - Peruvian the taste is delicious. We tried the fried rice and wonton soup as well as the Fuchi Foo. The papaya juice was not good though so don't order that. Also they didn't have the Peruvian ice cream we thought they served. The food overall was good but not the service. The girl who was serving us never actually talked. I don't think I even heard her. She was a little slow and very shy. Even though the food was made quick she took her time getting to it and serving it. The place was a bit small but not too run down. The experience with food and all was great but they need friendlier servers. read more

La Union Restaurant Chifa Peruano - A picture of the wall where a Peruvian soccer team picture and a poster about first aid both hang. - Chinese Near Me - Queens, New York

I must have passed this place a thousand times before but never really noticed it until a few days ago. Why? because I lived around the area and restaurants around here offers mostly Mexican and Columbian cuisine and I thought its one or the other. In front of the restaurant is a bus stop, and I was there waiting for the # 58 to Flushing when I saw a sign right in front of the place that reads " We have tamales" ..well I am a sucker for it so I went in & ordered 2 pcs.. Pork & chicken. It was very filling & good and my husband enjoyed it too... I went back the following day to pick up some but found out they don't really offer it daily ..only on the weekends....so there...if anybody wants to try it , it's $5.00 a piece, so I ended up trying their Parihuela Especial, $13.50 It was very tasty... it became one my favorite place to eat ...everything is like home made...their Pescado Frito con Tausi $14,50 was equally delicious...when you don't have time to cook, this is the place to go... . read more

Ordered lunch from here today, a lomo saltado. Delivery didn't take too long, the food was okay nothing spectacular but i would probably eat here again.. eventually the only thing i found weird was they put peas in the lomo saltado, I have never seen that before, not a big fan of that but its not a deal breaker lol read more

Nice small place food was good if your looking for Chinese or Peruvian food. Or Chinese's food w a Peruvian twist.

Went here the other night. Recently returned from a trip to Peru and was greatly missing a good helping Chifa ( Peruvian chinese) The food took way longer than I would have liked. Even after waiting so long, they still brought the 2 dishes I ordered 10 minutes apart from each other. Overall pretty good, maybe a little on the salty side. Spent $27 on our two drinks and two dishes. Not a bad deal...if you like bubble gum flavored soda, don't miss out on Inka cola! read more

Fresh, tasty, copious colorful food with a great deal of variety. For those of us who remember old school Chinese-American food, this is reminiscent, yet with a lot of twists. Everything - the vegetables, the meat, the fish - is superfresh and well-cooked. Really satisfying. read more

I came here after reading about this place in some free magazine. The food was great and I felt like I really was in Perú, having ate Chifa in Peru many times. Despite what others said maybe it was an off day but everytime I have gone the food was served to me quickly. They even serve desserts I can never find anywhere else. To me this place is a little taste of home and reminds me of when my grandmother use to cook Dinner. read more

To be honest, I did not eat here. But, I got a chicha morada to go and it was much better than I expected. You could really taste the cinnamon in there. They have large jars of the stuff in the refrigerator at the counter, and you can also get mazamorra morada to go. read more

We live a block and a half so know this place well. The lomo saltado and jalea are really good, but don't order the rice with the lomo or they will give you one fourth the amount of meat and charge you more. The chicha morada and alfamajores are also very good when they have it. Here's the problem...these people will cheat you every chance they get. Make sure you look at the prices and total everything up in your head first. Every freaking time we go we have to argue about the price. Make sure you count your change too. They are very brazen and will argue with you, hoping you will back down. Don't go if you're the non-confrontational type. If you don't mind keeping them in check, though the dishes I mentioned are worth the hastle! read more
