So good, best modern Peruvian in Southern California. Bright flavors fresh ingredients and excellent cooking technique. The ceviche quality was very high fresh fish rounded out with a mean Leche de Tigre. All the cooked chifa dishes had excellent wok hei read more

We had the BEST time eating here! I've always loved chaufa since I first tried it as a kid, but I hadn't tried more Peruvian food beyond that so this was a fun and delicious new experience. We came for dinner on a late Friday afternoon and were seated quickly. Service was quick and friendly, and our server gave us so many tips on how to eat the food well (offered us yummy sauces, and guided us to pour some of the cebiche sauce from our Leche de Tigre onto the chaufa!) The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting. I loved the illustrated recipes on the walls the moment you walk in and the murals and art pieces. Also the entire place was clean and well kept, the bathroom was clean too! The food was amazinggggg, I truly have so much more I want to come back for on my next visit. For this time, we had: LECHE DE TIGRE $29 chopped fish & seafood, leche de tigre, onion, choclo, cancha with crispy calamari (This was my first time having crispy seafood in a ceviche dish!) TALLARIN VERDE CON LOMO SALTADO $27 linguini in peruvian pesto sauce with lomo saltado (The pesto was unlike any other pesto I've tasted before) CHAUFA DE MARISCO $26 peruvian chinese fried rice, seafood, egg, vegetables (Can't go wrong with a chaufa, loved this so much) We can't wait to come back and this also made us want to visit Peru :) read more

Prior to the last few years, lomo saltado was my only experience with Peruvian food I've ever had. I've learned more about it but still excited to taste more of this wondrous cuisine. The chef here has developed a menu that celebrates his culture and it truly shines through the dishes offered. I visited Lima around the time they first opened and as with any restaurant, there were some things I felt needed improvement. Since then, I've eaten here twice and I feel like it's more dialed in. The menu is limited compared to most restaurants and I can tell it's to ensure they can produce quality dishes. Their cebiche is fresh and obviously a must order from a Peruvian spot. Their lomo saltado is well seasoned and you can taste the smokiness from being wok fired. I recently tried their adobo special and it was melt in your mouth tender and the sauce was deep in flavor. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for Peruvian food made with care. The dining room is spacious, clean, and modern. Definitely need to come back soon. read more

Came here for lunch right when they opened so the service was very pleasant and the restaurant was bright and clean. We ordered the el chalaco ceviche which was just OK, it was supposed to be spicy but it tasted very average. Th lomo saltado was good but instead of fries they give you hunks of potatoes which was different. The best dish we ordered was the causa lima especial-it's a bed of seafood in a cream sauce topped with mashed potatoes that looks like noodles. The texture and flavor was totally unexpected! A little bit overpriced for the portions but it was a good lunch. read more

Amazing service! The entire staff was very friendly and hospitable. The restaurant was spotless. I tried the classic ceviche and it was one of the best Peruvian ceviches I have had. My friend ordered the lomo saltado and really enjoyed it as well. I will definitely return to try more of the classics on their menu! read more

Lima is a Peruvian restaurant with a fun, open vibe. The story of fishermen and the sea are the main theme, seen everywhere from the framed photos on the walls to the wicker basket light fixtures representing fish baskets used to hold the treasures of the sea. The vibe is jovial and playful with bright colors everywhere. It's hard not to feel a bit excited for what's to come. Food Choritos à la Chalaca Mussels with fruits of the sea. It is vibrant in color and tastes with brightness all around. Think of oysters but elevated and dressed for a fiesta. La Sirena (Aji Amarillo) ceviche Comes like a summer sunset, deep hues of amber with fresh fish. The fish is chewy and bounces to the bite. If you like fish and bursts of flavor this is it. It also is strong evidence in backing up my claim that Peruvian ceviche is the best type of ceviche. Pulpo à la Parrilla Tender octopus fire grilled and liberally seasoned with Peruvian spices, it is beautiful and tasty. Meaty without being filling, it's the type of meat you could eat without feeling guilty. Arroz con Mariscos Think of Peruvian style paella. Dressed with a generous portion of red onions and cilantro on top, this dish is creamy and rich with the flavors of the ocean deeply infused into the rice. Conclusion As I am writing this I am lying on the floor at my sister's apartment because I'm so full. Everything tasted wonderful and it was hard to stop eating, even though I was bursting at the seams. Lima is a perfect example of elevated flavors without the need for formality or gate keeping recipes for higher prices. Whether coming for a casual hang out or for a special occasion Lima is an exceptional place to have Peruvian cuisine any day of the week. read more

I am local to the Bixby Knolls community. I have been bypassing this place for months. Decided to try this place out today since I was in the mood for some Seafood. Entered this establishment and was greeted and seated immediately. Fresh waters were given to us while we look over the menu. By the way, the water was delicous! Did not taste like tapwater. :) Our waiter came back, we ordered everything in one shot. Wine, Peruvian beer, lomas Saltado, ceviche, and octopus. All these entrees were recommended by our waiter. Received all our food within 10-15 minutes. All was delicious! The octopus was a big hit in my book, and the ceviche was tasty. It wasn't your typical Mexican style ceviche ..but a Peruvian ceviche with a distinctive taste and flavor. Loma Saltado was pleasant, the meat cooked to perfection! The ambiance here felt like an up to date Peruvian fusion restaurant, without the fusion food. Nice decor with good vibes. It was a clean establishment. The restrooms were really clean which gave this restaurant quality of character. I will definitely come back. We recommend they have happy hour to spruce up their business as well as some live music. Entrees is above pricing average but the quality made up for it. Dont think you will get large portions here, but just okay portions. The type of portion type dishes you take your first date to. Not to much not too little. Cool place to have some intimacy. There is a bus stop in front, which i noticed there are loud kids waiting for the bus. Restaurant should try to muffle the scene using wall dividers or spacers. They were alittle annoying if you sat by the glass doors by the entrance. Overall, good service and good food. Big Kudos to Jorge for being a cool waiter. He even gave us some tea after our meals. read more

I would first love to begin by thanking Jorge for his undeniable personality and customer service, the guy just flat out did everything in his power to make us happy.

I've had this gem bookmarked for a while and I'm so glad we finally got here! While the space and menu are small, the experience is huge, the food is genuinely authentic and absolutely delicious. We spent half the meal glancing at other tables, trying to decide what to order on our next visit! Here's what we ordered: Pulpo a la Parrilla (Grilled Octopus): Perfectly grilled and tender, topped with a divine chimichurri sauce that ties everything together beautifully. La Sirena (Ceviche): Our server recommended this after I mentioned I love spicy food. Refreshing, bright, and with just the right kick. Chaufa de Mariscos: My personal go-to whenever I visit a Peruvian restaurant. This version was packed with seafood (a total plus since many places skimp on it!). The only thing I noticed was a bit of an aftertaste from what I assume was a flavor enhancer. I'm super sensitive to that but tbh, the dish is flavorful enough on its own and doesn't even need it. Regardless, I still enjoyed it. Lomo Saltado: My boyfriend's pick and he loved it! Tender beef, flavorful sauce, and perfectly seasoned fries. A quick shout-out to the incredible staff! I was too food-excited to catch our server's name, but the teamwork and attentiveness at every table were remarkable. We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

I love Peruvian ceviche and Lima did not disappoint. It was opened by the same team behind Sushi Nikkei so they definitely know what they are doing. It's a really casual and simply decorated restaurant serving up some tasty food. My friends and I came close to closing time and the staff was friendly and helpful. The menu is on the small side but everything they make is delicious. Between 3 of us we shared 4 dishes and I was still a little hungry after. We started with the Pulpo a La Parilla of which you can select from 2 sizes and we went with the smaller. The octopus was perfectly cooked and we enjoyed the accompanying sauces. Next was the Cebiche El Pescador, their classic ceviche. For $28 I thought the portion was on the small side, but it was very fresh with great flavors. We rounded it out with the Lomo Saltado with the tender and juicy steak, and the Arroz Con Mariscos packed with flavor. read more

Power couple of Sushi Nikkei has expanded their venture and opened Lima Cebichería Peruana just a couple doors down in Bixby Knolls. Their menu is simple but far from basic, showcasing all the favorite Peruvian seafood dishes. The only non-seafood dish is the Lomo Saltado, which I'll have to try next time. I was a little worried they would be packed on Sunday night, but there were only a few patrons when we arrived at 8pm. Our server, Jorge, said they were busy all day, so that was a good sign. We were happy to get seated right away and the food came out very quickly too. The place is well lit with a good amount of tables inside and a few outside. They offer 4 different types of cebiche: clásico, rocoto, aji amarillo and leche de tigre. I opted for the spicy one, El Chalaco (rocoto) mixto, which included fresh sea bass, squid, shrimp and scallop. Loved the crunchy, large corn and the leche de tigre was to die for. Pulpo a la Parrilla: tender octopus marinated in anticuchera sauce, chimichurri, potatoes, huancaína sauce. $25 for half was plenty and the octopus was cooked perfectly. The chimichurri went well with the octopus and creamy huancaina was great for dipping the potatoes in. Chaufa de Mariscos: Peruvian Chinese fried rice, seafood, egg, vegetables. The sprouts added a refreshing texture and the peppers gave it a nice kick. One of the best chaufa de mariscos I've ever had! Drinks are currently limited to Chicha Morada, Inca Kola, Emoliente, Mexican Coke and Topo Chico. The Peruvian drinks are worth a try! After tax and tip, I was a bit surprised to see that we spent $120 for the 3 dishes and 2 soft drinks at $5 each. The portions of seafood were quite generous though and we even took some home. I will return to try more items. read more

We had a lovely evening at Lima. Service was great. We had questions about different sauces and the server brought us a small sample, so we could try them in advance. Server also gave us great recommendations. We tried many dishes and they were all fabulous. My favorite was the Lomo Saltado. I loved the crispy potatoes instead of French fries. The Arroz con Mariscos was excellent and had an unusual flavor that I really liked. My husband loved the mussels. The dessert was recommended and it was delicious. No beer or wine license yet, but the restaurant is cute and we had a great time. read more

We went out a few weeks ago to check out Lima Cebicheria. They have been open about 2 months. At the time we went, they didn't have their liquor license yet, but we enjoyed water and sodas (glass bottle Coke and Inca Cola). IIRC they are operated by the team behind Sushi Nikkei just down the street. Place has a modern, relaxed, spacious vibe. Was totally un-busy on a Wednesday night. Service was super attentive and friendly, with multiple check-ins to see how things were going. Dishes were solid, good flavors and well prepared. Everything was very fresh. El Pescador Clasico cebiche: impeccably fresh fish, nice blend of flavors. Pulpo a la Parrilla: grilled octopus in a kind of oily chili, not very spicy, with a couple of dipping sauces. Nice flavors. Jalea Mixta (Mixed fried seafood): one of our kids loved the calamari. Had calamari, shrimp, fish pieces, and potato. Didn't seem like that much seafood in there. But fried fresh, and tasted clean. Chaufa de Lomo Fino (Lomo fried rice): basically a lovely fried rice with tender beef pieces (beef tenderloin). Both kids liked it. Lomo saltado: good flavors, fresh. My biggest complaint was there is very, very little beef, and the portion overall is quite small compared to other Peruvian places I've visited (see my other reviews). The problem is value for money. Dinner was $170 plus tip. So my biggest issue is value: seems a little expensive for what it is. It was high quality & fresh, but I just wasn't...wowed. So while flavors were very nice, service was good, and would be a very charming & pleasant date-night or family dinner place, given my craving level vs. cost, sadly I might go elsewhere. read more

Love this new addition to Atlantic St.! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the service was great and the food was delicious. On my first visit, I was able to try three dishes; the Chaufa, Classic Ceviche and the Pulpo. All three were amazing but my favorite was the Pulpo - the char on the octopus was perfect. Definitely stop by for your Peruvian fix. read more

Service was excellent!! The staff were so friendly and helpful but the food wasn't quite as good as I anticipated. The lomo was flavorful but lacked veggies and I wish my meat would have been cooked a bit more. Also i didn't like the potatoes they used as substitution for the fries that would normally go in to the lomo saltado. The pulpo was very flavorful but a bit overcooked. But hey you never know it might just be delicious to you all so definitely stop by and give them a try. read more

Completely blown away. It's been such a long time that I've had good ceviche, which was not made with frozen fish or simply tilapia. The Sea Bass ceviche, and every item on the menu that we tried was out of this world. The mussels (choritos a la chalca) were amazing. Jalea Mixta was delicious. Crunchy yet moist at the same time.

Wow... this place is AMAZING! If you're craving authentic Peruvian food, look no further. The ceviche is out of this world--super fresh, tangy, and just the right amount of kick. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had in a long time. We also ordered the lomo saltado, Choritos a la chalaca, and both dishes were packed with flavor. You can really tell everything is made with love. Service was awesome too--everyone was so welcoming and happy to explain the dishes if you're new to Peruvian food. Weekdays are a good time to grab a table when walking in. The building is large and spacious with flexible seating to accommodate different size parties and the food is delivered quick! Definitely adding this to my regular rotation when visiting Bixby Knolls. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

For seafood lovers! The Jelea Mixta was cooked to perfection--crispy, golden, and not greasy at all. Their different cebiches show real creativity, with layers of textures that feel genius. I did find myself wishing for a chip or even a simple fried plantain chip alongside the ceviche for a little crunch. There's only one meat dish on the menu--lomo saltado--so give your seafood-averse friend a heads-up. It doesn't come with the usual aji verde sauce, but it's still delicious. The space itself is casual, bright, and welcoming. They don't yet have their alcohol license, but the food and service more than makes up for it. read more

Service is fantastic, the octopus omG to die for, the cechive could be improved tho, but the rest is really good, it's worth it.

I ordered the tallarín a la huancaína with lomo saltado, which is my favorite dish, and I absolutely loved it. I've been to more than 10 Peruvian restaurants across California, and this is the only place that truly knows how huancaína is supposed to taste. I also tried the ají de gallina, and the flavor instantly reminded me of home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want to experience the true TASTE of peruvian food read more

I went to Lima Cebiceria twice in a 2 week period and it was fantastic both times! The first time I went I found the food very delicious (my friend and I ordered so much we thought we'd have leftovers....but ate it ALL). However, I wanted to bring my friends who are from Peru to give me their perspective. It was one of their birthdays and as it turns out, one of the dishes on the menu "Arroz con Mariscos" originated in her hometown and is known as a special occasion dish. Thankfully she loved it and said it was made the same as back home. Everyone in our group very much liked the other items we ordered as well (3 types of Ceviche, one of the lomo saltado dishes, a fried rice dish, and a fried seafood platter). While everything was really good, my favorite item is the "El Pescador" classic ceviche. I normally dont even like Ceviche but this was so flavorful, fresh, and balanced, I have been craving it for days after. The basic Lomo Saltado with rice is really tasty and for a twist, the Tallarin a la Huancaina con Lomo Saltado is made with a yellow Peruvian chile that is not too spicy. The desserts were simple but good. The flan is a creamy Peruvian style and the Ice Cream is made from lucuma, a fruit unique to Peru. I also very much enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc wine which they import from Peru. According to my friends, its considered a very good wine. read more
