I've tried many other restaurants for lomo saltado but I keep coming back to Norky's. Food is always made to order, hot and very fresh. I enjoy the lomo saltado made with plum tomatoes and tons of red onions yum! Staff is efficient and responsive. Parking is sometimes difficult on the busy street. read more

My husband brought us here for dinner and we were seated so warmly by Frank. He recommended the lomo saltado with seafood as well as I believe the cau cau with seafood. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were enormous. We could not finish one dish for the two of us. All the food was perfectly seasoned and so fresh. We enjoyed the cozy environment with salsa music playing in the background and families seated and enjoying the ambiance and food. The service was extremely warm and inviting. We will definitely come back! read more

Definitely not a date place but a place in the neighborhood by the hospital for tasty and plentiful food. The customer's ability to speak Spanish is definitely an asset because our server did not speak English and I had a special request; subbing in additional salad and subbing out the fries. The chicken was moist and tasty and I was not disappointed at all. Good, solid place if you are in the neighborhood but certainly not a destination place. read more

I've only had take out from here multiple times. This place is the best Peruvian I've had in NJ, aside from a place I was taken to in Elizabeth (which I can't recall). I agree with the cashier, didn't matter who it is, she's not usually the friendliest. They don't speak English well, so you have to have the menu handy. Small restaurant, appears clean with less than 10 tables. Get the Lomo Saltado, Cerviche, Jalea mixto, rotisserie chicken, yuca a la huancaina, papa rellena. Last 2 are apps. The Peruvian Aji Verde sauce (green sauce) is awesome! It goes with everything. Tastes really good! Unfortunately the cashier only gives 1 or less per entree ratio. I've taken more because it's sitting at the counter but I've been yelled at and sneered at for doing so. read more

Their daily Menu is well served and a good price. The restaurant's aesthetic is I love their chicken it's so moist! Not dry at all and the sauces taste really good!! read more

First time ordering Jalea, also the last time. Sauce was great, marinated onions fresh. As for the Jalea, the calamari was in abundance, but as you can see in the photo not much else. Very little fried fish, very little shrimp, very little fried yuca, the calamari required extra chewing. I didn't order it that way, it came with flavorless, hard to chew calamari. The lady answered the phone was nice, overall the service is fine, I dont know about any other dishes but the Jalea and dont want to know any further about the Jalea. 30 dollars not well spent. read more

This spot is amazing!! They hook it up for the price you pay and the food is amazing. I couldn't spell the meals that we got if I tried but I'm telling you, you can't go wrong here. read more

If there's options negative or zero I would rate them the worst score. The foods are not great as expected for Peruvian taste. The crews don't speak well in English and the worst thing experience we got because my hubby is Peruvian, the price on the menu is different when they charge u when u pay. All of the menus are totally low price but when they bill you OMG they are thief. My hubby complained and the Manager gave 5$ off but then they will charge u another fees for using your card!!!!! WTF they need to report to government for false advertisement honestly!!!! read more

Went to go to Se Salio El Pollo for dinner around 8:30 on a Sunday and they told us they weren't seating us because they close at 9pm (even though their website says they closed at 10pm). We went to went to Norky's because we still wanted Peruvian, but thought it was going to be a downgrade from Se Salio El Pollo. However, we were both wrong. We ordered the choritos and they were better than Se Salio El Pollo. The ceviche we ordered as well was very fresh and tasty. Also, the servers here were MUCH nicer than they are at Se Salio El Pollo, so I don't know why any review has complained about the service because it is much better than any other Peruvian place I have been to (Paterson, Harrison, & Perth Amboy). Would highly recommend them. read more

The food is excellent. The only reason why I don't rate it a 5 is because their service has to be upgraded. Don't let the sucky service deter you though. If your hungry this place will surely fill your appetite. Great food great portions.. Great Latin American food read more

Food is good but the service received from the cashier terrible!!!! She makes you feel like you are begging for food instead of the client that you are paying for the food very rude and nasty actitude I will never return to this restaurant. read more

We don't live anywhere near Perth Amboy, but we wanted to go here out of a curiosity about the name Norky's, which is the same as a chain of criollo restaurants in Lima. I knew it couldn't be the same chain as the Lima restaurants, but I was interested in seeing if they could be at all similar. Norky's in Perth Amboy has more ceviche than Norky's in Lima, which is a good thing depending on how much you like ceviche. The presentation and quality of the food are excellent. The prices are half the price of what they would be at fancy, fake Peruvian restaurants in places like Montclair. Service was attentive (it has to be, it's a small restaurant). Good Peruvian food is abundant in NJ, so I can't give this place 5 stars, but if you are near Perth Amboy I recommend giving Norky's a try. read more

Food is taking long to come out , just ordered a pollo a la bras!!!!!!! Been 27 minutes ! #tr3way

Very delicious traditional Peruvian food. Not fancy place but worth visiting if you craving Peruvian taste. Will be back! read more

Quick service and the food was ready fast as well. Food was delicious ! Nice staff, and the alfajores were really good (:

If your Peruvian than you know what peruvian food tastes like.....THIS PLACE IS NOT AUTHENTIC.

Plenty of food for not so much $$$ it's small and cramped and definitely a spot for Spanish speaking folk. A hole in the wall that is worth a once in a while visit. Really a 3.5 star review if I could. read more

I honestly like the food a lot, but poor customer service. My co-worker told me about this place but said customer service is so-so. I ordered three times from there with a week and the 3rd time, they gave me the wrong Arroz Chaufa. There was a little language barrier but the man who took my order over the phone repeated the order back to me and it was right. I ordered chicken and beef arroz chaufa but mine had that but with seafood. I do not eat seafood. I live in Union so for me to drive back was an inconvenience but was willing to go another day. I called them to tell them it was wrong but they did not understand being they did not speak to much English and I am not fluent in Spanish. I had my mother call for me and she speaks perfect Spanish and they kinda gave her a hard time about it telling her I might have ordered wrong and advice on how I should order but the gentleman repeated it back to me and it was right, so I know I didn't. After about two phone calls and getting switched to four people, they were willing to let me get a replacement but I was so aggravated by then, I didn't even want it. Another downside is they only accept cash. I will never go there again. read more

love the food! shrimp ceviche is delicious. bistec a la pobre is delicious.

My father took me here for a late lunch/early dinner. Gotta admit that I was psyched for comida Peruana! I ordered Papa de la Huancaina, Anticuchos, y Arroz Chaufa Especial. Es muy rico y perfecto! Service was great and the staff was attentive to us. I'll definitely come back again! Gracias a todos! read more

The food is so good. Great hole in the wall type place and huge portions. Best peruvian food in town. Better than the rest. Just dont let them upsell you read more

Camarrones de ajillo (garlic shrimp dish) are excellent. This place only takes cash (but has an ATM). Staff didn't speak English very well (which was fine for me but good for people to know) so brush up on your Spanish if needed (or just point to pictures on the menu). Service was a bit slow but there was only one server. read more

This place that I tried for the first time wasn't so bad. The food was HOT which is to be excepted considering the place had just started there dinner hour (5:00). Their portion is another story it was HUGE. I didn't expect that large amount of food to come in a take out order but kudos to them on trying to keep first time customers. There hot sauce is a little bland when you consider that to Peruvians hot sauce is paramount and is part of the table settings on most Peruvian restaurant from here to Lima. To sum it up YES I will try this place again and maybe even sit down with my BFF who might I add is Peruvian and is a harsh critique when it comes to food that's why I drag her along to new places. Next post will be on there ceviche mixto then we can make recommendations on wether to stay or go. Till Next Time And Next Place!!!! read more

This place should change its name from Norky's. It's giving the original Peruvian brand a bad name. If anyone thinks this is Peruvian chicken, you are NOT Peruvian. This chicken at best might beat out Boston Market chicken. Chicharron de Calamar was disastrous. I've had this plate in many places including Peru, and it has always been served with at least Tartar Sauce. These non-Peruvian waitresses looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for some tartar sauce. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I called in for pick up of 3 orders of calamari and chicken and told them I'll pick it up at 4. When I got there, nothing was cooked so they told me to wait. I was there almost half an hour. As soon they said the food was ready, they only cooked 1 order of the calamari. Dont call them to order because I dont think they understand english, well unless you speak spanish. Its better if you just go there and order read more

food is good but none of the employees can speak english and the driver can't find my house. therefore i give 1 star
