Salchi Papas
Lu V.

Love it! Delicious food! We've tried El Cevichito, Salchipapas, Pasta Huanca with Lomo Saltado, Chicha Morada. Everything yummmy. Customer Service... top of the line! We'll definitely come back soon to try other dishes. Thank you!!!

Every time I am in town I make it a point to stop by. The food is incredible! The service is kind and very inviting. Munay Restaurant is a 10/10 for Peruvian food.

Don lomo saltado (chicken)
Courtney F.

This is a place you should run not walk in order to try out the incredible food here. I'd never had Peruvian before and now I'm hooked. I got their spiced purple corn drink called the chicha morada, which sounds different but tastes incredible. My two favorite things so far are the don lomo saltado and the pasta huanca- I swear I'm getting hungry again just thinking about them. The serving staff are the sweetest and pretty helpful with giving suggestions.

Desserts

Delicious! My family and I had our Valentine's Day dinner there and we loved it! It was decorated beautifully for our date with our girls. For dinner I had the Lomo saltado, the beef was so tender and juicy. Perfection! Also don't skip on desserts, the best I've ever had crème brûlée and the bread pudding. Pia (owner) thank you for great conversation and amazing food!

Chicha morena + Prosecco = the Dr. Ugarte cocktail!  Please, make it so!!!!
Juliet U.

Half of my family is from Lima. So, my husband tries to find a Peruvian restaurant whenever we travel. Was seriously bummed to learn this place only had an alcohol license for beer and wine so couldn't serve a pisco sour (so sad!) but they DID have chicha morada! They had a few cocktails featuring Prosecco so I asked if they could combine the chicha with Prosecco and it was so tasty! I'm hopeful they create a new cocktail, the "Dr. Ugarte" so others can enjoy! Food was phenomenal, always so wonderful to find a perfect antecucho dish. YUM!!!!.

Little tasty nuts that kick the meal off
Mike T.

I have passed this establishment many times and tonight we decide to check it out. We were seated promptly. My wife had a Sonoma County Rose, my son a mimosa and I opted for a Peruvian beer. A small dish of nuts, that looked like popcorn kernels. They were salty and crunchy outside with a soft center Ceviche was the appetizer special so we decided on that. The dish had a shot glass of lemony liquid that we poured over the fish. Red onions, a sweet potato wedge and hominy accompanied the dish. The ceviche was so good. My wife had the Munay burger and fries. The burger was cooked well. The steak fries were crispy outside with a soft fluffy center. My son had the Senora Chaufa, it was a fried rice with char sui bbq pork, with chicken and shrimp. The dish is served as a pyramid. The dish really tasted like a Chinese fried rice. It was so good. They BBQ pork was big chunks of pork, that were clearly made in house. I had the pasta huanca. Pappardelle noodles with huancaina sauce chunks of beef tenderloin in a brown gravy. The huancaina sauce is a lovely briny mustard sauce. The sauce pairs perfectly with the richness of the meat. The dish was absolutely fabulous. I would love to come back and try other things but I this dish is a must. It was an excellent meal. A giant 3 layer slice of chocolate cake was our last course and it was as good as everything else. There is a patio that was well lit. We are definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Empanadas with a salad
Kat A.

We were quite pleased with everything we tried, from the red wine to the chocolate cake we brought home because we were too full to eat it at the restaurant but couldn't pass it up. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food came out fairly quickly and everything we tried was tasty. I had had the empanadas once before as a to go order and while they were good, having them in the restaurant was so much better. We will be back to try other items and hopefully the restaurant will continue to provide great food. The cost of the dishes are on the pricer side but we think it was well worth it considering the portion size and the overall flavor of the food. The restaurant was also very clean, from the floors, the tables and the walls.

Inca Kola, Chicha Morada

Amazing service and food! My daughter and I enjoyed the best ceviche in town, seco de Cordero was so delicious, and the dessert was Picarones that took my breath away! Thank you Nadia, chef and restaurant for such an outstanding food! I am looking forward to returning back

Drinks were pretty sweet. If either of the two get the Maracuyá. But it's $5.49

See all

Came for dinner with my husband and our kid for somethinf light Lol that went out the window when I…read moreread the menu. Both my son and hubby ordered the filet saltado which is always a hit. I was between the Tallarin de Mariscos or the Jalea but I did good. Ill just have to try the Jalea another time. Before we stop talking about the food the bread..... woah! The service was great Maria was informative and funny, Thanks for the laughs. See you again soon!

The dining experience is good, but because of the food, I give it a lower rating…read more When we came in, we were immediately greeted and brought to our table. We were given menus and a few minutes later asked if we wanted anything to drink, and if we were also ready to order. We asked for a few extra minutes. When I saw the menu, I thought, and should have stuck to my gut, that the "Peruvian style Chinese" is a what the hell does that mean situation. Man, did I go wrong for not giving that a hell naah! The waitress brought out some hot bread and butter, as well as cold iced waters for us. We than placed our order. We ordered a chaufa de pollo (chicken fried rice), parihuela (soup), and a jalea (fried seafood). When the food came, all the smells hit, and I just knew it was not what I wanted or expected. I was expecting awesome wok-charred fried rice. What I got was some barely wok-ed rice, no depth of flavor, but lots of a CHINESE flavor/seasoning. HORRIBLE, why would you do this?!? What the hell!!!! This is definitely not what Peruvian fried rice is. No where near what it should be. The parihuela is something I've never had, so I cannot compare it to any others, but from it being my first time trying this, this is what i think. I think it was actually pretty good. It had lots of seafood umami (flavor). It had great depth. It had lots of crab smell, but why no crab? None at all, just the smell. Lots of fish and squid. The jalea, yucca not fried enough, it was slightly under. Lots of lemon-ny red onions on top, which is great as it helps cut all the nasty feelings of eating fried stuff. Only two pieces of shrimps, that were small too! It had 4 pieces of fish, and the rest was calamari. I am fine with it, but the shrimps should be larger. The batter should be thinner. The pieces should be crispier. Nothing great about this dish. It's so easy, yet it was not thought of well enough to make it great. Don't waste your time or money here. It's not authentic. It's not great. It's just passable food. The best thing of this meal was the bread and butter, and the cold iced water. The service was good too, but the food was not up to par. I feel like they may have made my food according to us being Asian, but who knows and who cares, I don't plan on coming back.

Johnny Pacific has a great reputation of being a special gem, specializing in Latin-Caribbean and…read morePacific Island inspired empanadas. It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.

Amazing food & great service everytime we've gone!!…read more Love their #1 Korean style plate & chicken empanada has become my fave now next to the apple caramel one. And can't forget their yummy guava lemonade!! Thank you for your hospitality!!

I would love to try all their cakes, they look so good and fresh. The breads are definitely awesome and fresh too, it was coming out from the back when we were there, and you can see some condensation on the display letting you know they are hot and fresh. It took a few minutes of scanning the menu, and looking at the desserts, before we were ready and chose to order. We ended up getting a steak sandwich and the two empanada plate. For the empanadas, we tried the beef and the chicken. The empanadas are not that great. The beef one was ok, but the chicken was not worth trying again. The star of the plate was the french fries. Those were awesome and cooked very well. The steak sandwich was very good. It was loaded with steak. The steak pieces were tender. Everything about the sandwich was good. The bread was the same one they sold in the display. The lettuce and tomatoes, fresh. The avocado that costed $3 extra, loads, probably a whole small avocado. This sandwich is definitely worth coming back for. Overall, I say try it. Or at least, try the steak sandwich with some fries.

Indeed 3.7! I would like to try more typical meals, but the people working there were really busy…read moreto explain. However, the waitress was very nice.
