Very good Peruvian food. Started with a corn nuts serving. I ordered the HuevHuancs Pasta and my wife got the lomo salrado. Both were very flavorful. The beef was tender and seasoned perfectly. The sauces had a great flavor The server was really friendly and chatty. The dining room is very comfortable. All in all a great meal. read more

On a mission to try new restaurants in town and this place was on my list; plus I love Peruvian food. Ordered the don saltado and ceviche. She said the ceviche wasn't ready and would take 15 minutes but it's one of my favs so I decided to wait. It was well worth it - big chunks of fish perfectly flavored in the citrus juices and seasonings. The don saltado had large pieces of steak and really great flavors. It came with a side of garlic (yes garlic) rice, and plantains. Overall the food was delicious and we had wonderful service. Prices are a little on the high side. They do have lunch specials but the 2 dishes we wanted were not on it unfortunately, so maybe we'll try something on it next time. Easy to find restaurant with some parking right in the front. read more

With all honesty I was very excited about this place. It has a lot of charm and definitely has some key dishes. Positives: they had the well-known pro in dishes. Their ceviche is the best. They're Loma Salado is a bit salty and a little bit different than what traditional normal taste like. But regardless it was delicious. The service was impeccable. The ambience was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this. I definitely know my mom uses this as her go to spot to meet up with her family and friends. read more

Everything was amazing, from the appetizers, mains, and desserts. Food was fresh and service was fast. Best Peruvian food I've had.

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. read more

I wanted to love this place but I was less than impressed. I am willing to give it another shot, maybe with a different dish. I ordered a lomo saltado plate but the sauce really threw me for a loop. It tasted more like a curry sauce than a lomo saltado sauce. The sauce is also a bit thicker than other restaurants I've tried. One of my favorite things about Peruvian food is the green aji, but the aji lacks heat and flavor. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!!!!. read more

This is the sweetest little restaurant with the most amazing service and delicious food. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant wasn't all that. I went on Yelp and saw all these 5 star reviews which made it seem promising. When we arrived we were a party of 5 plus a baby. They sat us down. Upon ordering our drinks I felt a bit rush. Granted, there was one waitress and a younger girl who was helping out. But, they need to be ready for good service. The entire time I somewhat felt neglected with service from our waitress. The ceviche and empanadas were really good. I definitely recommend. Maracuyá drink was a bit sweet. Lomo saltado was good. I've gone to other Peruvian restaurant and order pollo saltado. They didn't have it at this location. They also give so much rice on their plates-more than the actual protein that is stated on the menu. It's a pyramid of rice! Everyone at my table received their dish, except for me. I waited about 15 mins for my food and not once did the waitress tell me that my food was coming out soon. I thought she forgot and waited for her to come by. She finally, brought my dish and I did tell her that I thought she forgot about my food. She just laughed and said no. Finally, because we were a party of 5 including a baby they charged 18% gratuity. I think because it's a small restaurant and 1 waitress. Each of us ordered our own plate and 2 orders of empanadas (2 empanadas per order) and one ceviche. The bill came out to $260 with gratuity plus tip. This place wasn't or isn't all that for the price. I know they're hard workers but I'm sad our experience was not great and it was expensive. read more

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. read more

Nice restaurant people are good just a bit overpriced for what you get. Presentation was OK . I'm used to going to Pollo Inca in the Hawthorne area and you get a lot more for your money and foods a little bit better too. Lomo Saldado plate 27 bucks each for lunch. Anywhere else that would be a $16 plate read more

Cute little place. The service was great and the food was delicious. The pasta with the beef tenderloin was fantastic! The tenderloin was so soft and tender, well seasoned. The shrimp Tacu Tacu is a more mild dish. Lots of rice. The bread budding was served warm and it was soft and light in flavor so it's easy to have a big serving of it. Although the chocolate cake is rich so I wasn't able to finish it. But the dulce de leche and passion fruit filling so yummy; I've never had that combination before, but it's so worth it! The restaurant has a cute little patio outside that's shaded and welcoming. I would gladly eat here again. A little gem. read more

First time going here and I can't wait to go back! We ordered to go. The Lomo Saltado was so tender, it included fried plantains and fried egg, excellent idea putting the rice in a separate container. The Papa a la Huancaina was good, needed a little kick but creamy and fresh. The Pisco Sour is not from this restaurant, my gringo made it for me. Feliz 28 Chicos y que sigan los éxitos! read more

We got the Maracaya to drink which was the perfect drink for the flavors in the food. The staff members were all very sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back again. read more

Wanted to try something new for date night and decided on Munay. Very happy with our choice! We were the only ones there on a Tuesday night. Their kitchen closes kind of early, 7:30 I overheard so another customer came and went. The waitress was attentive, kind and knowledgeable. We tried multiple new things we'd never had before starting with the Passionfruit and Purple Corn drinks. The passionfruit was amazing, not too sweet or too tart. The purple corn drink was described like an apple cider, very unique flavor and i did enjoy it just not as much as the passionfruit. For food we were lucky to get the ceviche on a Tuesday as the menu says weekends only. the fish comes in a herby, citrus, milk sauce called tiger's milk. It was very citrusy but delicious. I got the Senor Tacu Tacu entrée. Beans and rice fried to slight crisp drenched in sauce similar to a curry with shrimp. Absolutely amazing! I will certainly be back for this. My husband got the Pan con Lomito. Very messy and hard to eat as a sandwich but he enjoyed it. We also got the bread pudding and flan to go. The flan was good with rum flavor and the bread pudding was perfect warmed up. Definitely give this place a try. I'll be back! read more

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile, and I'm so glad I did! The food is exquisite and the flavors are wonderful. I especially enjoyed the uniqueness of the Peruvian dishes -- it was so nice to try something different than usual fare and have it be so excellent. One of my favorite dishes was the causa appetizer. Incredible. But the ceviche was also a standout as were the several other dishes we tried. The service was delightful and so friendly and kind. And the ambiance! So cute with a really sweet outdoor seating area that was beautifully done. read more

We have been meaning to check this place out for a while and tonight we did. The first thing I noticed is that it is clean. We were seated quickly and our beverages brought out. Our order was taken within a short time and our orders did not take long at all. The food was delicious, the server attentive. The ambiance clean, cool and simple. They have a patio for dining as well. Good to know for when we are not in the throes of summer! The flatware even has the patterns of some of the Nazca lines on it! The other patrons all seemed to be enjoying their meals as well. We will definitely be dining here again! read more

Amazing, authentic Peruvian food right in Simi Valley. I used to live in S. America, and spent ample time in Peru. I tried this and it brought back fond memories immediately. I'm fact, it surpassed my fond memories! From the quinoa salad, to the Chaufa, to the plantains and beyond, the food was excellent. The owner was extremely attentive and kind. What a wonderful, family owned establishment. We are so lucky to have this gem in Simi Valley. The cherry on top? The hot sauces. How so much flavor is packed in that Aji verde salsa is beyond me. But it is otherworldly! Thank you Munay! read more

I'm sorry to say that what you have described in your response is not fully accurate. And, because we are gracious to the server and not the type to send back food, doesn't necessarily mean that we enjoyed the meal. Although you express gratitude for the feedback, the additional comments convey a different message. Best of luck to you. read more
