This place was disappointing. With the ratings and articles written about it in the past, I had higher expectations. I have tried to come here a few times prior but it was closed during business hours which probably was a red flag to begin with. I came here with a friend and it took awhile for them to even seat us. We got complimentary salsa n chips which was nice. We waited so long to get our order in. It felt like around 15-20 min before we were approached even though there was maybe one other set of patrons. Once we got our order in, it took awhile to get the food too. We ordered the lomo saltado and the beef chaufa. The beef chaufa was decent. The lomo saltado was okay. The beef was kinda chewy and not tender. There wasn't enough juices from the sauce for the rice provided to absorb. The fries themselves were already kinda getting soggy when I dug in. Overall disappointed that this place wasn't better than El pollo inka. The music/tv was loud and hard to talk at times as it was just blasting while everyone was trying to have a conversation while eating. Kind of a meh atmosphere. read more

Cute place in a random strip mall. No counter but you sit and are helped as someone comes out of the back. The ceviche was soooo good. I usually don't care for white fish ceviche but omg this did not disappoint. We were asked how we wanted the beef cooked and it actually came out medium as asked! The lomo saltado was good! The quality of the meat was better than most places. Most of the dish however was made up of the french fries. Delicious gem... will be back to try all the different varieties of ceviche! read more

While waiting to view a house in the Gardena area of Los Angeles we stumbled upon this Peruvian Gem. The waitress only spoke Spanish so I knew the food would be amazing. We were seated and given menus that were beautifully made and easy to read. The waitress took our order and provided us with samples of the house made juice. The food was very good and authentic, you can tell it was genuinely made with love and care. read more

If you are a picky eater skip this. The dishes felt like soup. The only thing that our family agreed was good was the fried fish. The service was Amazing! We all tried our best to eat the food but unfortunately it wasn't for us. We left a big tip because it was us not the restaurant. The restaurant was warm and cozy. People around seemed to really enjoy the food. read more

The food and service was amazing ! The limo saltado was delicious. Definitely coming back here again.

I had their Aji de Gallina. Which was about 18.00 and one can of Inka Cola is 5.00 (each). When the food arrived, there were two large slabs of potato under the walnut sauce and barely any chicken, like maybe enough from half a wing shredded. Right after my plate came, the waitress filled a mop bin full of Pine Sol floor cleaner which gassed my area and I was not able to taste the food any longer. She did wear black plastic gloves while using the mop at least. For the cost, and the quality of the food - I would not recommend and would not return. Also, try to go before 6pm to avoid being gassed with Pine Sol. read more

First time here so we ordered fried calamari and lomo saltado tallarin verde. Quick service, fresh and tasty. Lomo saltado tallarin verde is rich and full of flavor. The cubes of steak were nice and tender. The jalea calamar (fried calamari) is really fresh, light and crispy. There was no rubbery texture whatsoever. The lime juice marinated onions was tart and tangy. Great for dipping the calamari in. There was fried yucca and a lottle bit of fried hominy in the mix as well. The restaurant is casual and clean. When you enter you are greeted with upbeat latino music playing in the background. The owner could tell we were new so they gave us a taste of passionfruit juice and chicha morada. We will be back to try more menu items. read more

Easy parking in the plaza. I have tasted better Lomo Saltado somewhere else. It did not taste as I expected. The employees barely spoke English, which made it hard for non Spanish speaker to order. read more

Small restaurant located inside a small plaza on Western Ave, sitting capacity is for about 22 people. Music is blasting the place from 2 different angles; the dining area and the kitchen. Large screen playing music like it's karaoke night, sometimes with music videos too. It might be ok for a bar but this place doesn't even sell beer so that's something that was rather confusing to us. Service was very friendly and very polite but I wish they start asking their customers if the noise is too loud or not, so they can make an adjustment, especially when we were the only two customers at that time. We didn't ask because I avoid upsetting anyone who has access to my food, if you know what I mean... ;) Lomo saltado was nicely done, but it was missing some of the flavors one can only get when exposing the stir fry to the flames so it felt rather homemade, but the meat was very tender and the tomatoes were firm so we enjoyed it. We also had the seafood rice, aka arroz con mariscos, which it was nice too but slightly too wet for my liking and it felt more like a paella. Honestly, one of the main reasons behind the few stars has a lot more to do with the level of noise in this place. The food here is not bad at all but it could use a little adjustments here and there. Unfortunately, they're also using styrofoam for their takeout which is banned in many places nowadays. read more

Absolutely awful service I would like to commence this by stating that I recognize this place is authentic and is true to Peruvian food, however, the service is atrocious. My family and I came here to eat today and although we were kind and understanding that they're busy and didn't rush the waitress to attend us, she had the audacity to tell us to move to accommodate a bigger party DESPITE the fact that we arrive their 20 minutes earlier and didn't even have our order taken. Sinceramente, yo trabajo mucho y soy una persona buena que me tratan así en esta manera- si eres Latinoamérica, yo te sugerí que NUNCA VENGAS en este restaurante read more

Hoy fui al restaurante Perú Chicha, no fue la primera vez, que pena y triste saber que no tienen respeto al cliente. Esperamos tranquilos por 20 minutos para que nos tomen la orden y solo 1 persona atendiendo que decía siempre ahora les tomo la orden, entró un grupo de 6 y se acercaron sin educación a querernos mover de mesa o irnos. Que humillante el trato, nos tuvimos que salir y afuera llegando las 2 personas más que se iban a reunir con nosotros . Recomiendo no ir . Que humillación con los 2 invitados que llegaron también. read more

I came here with a friend and we loved their food. Ambiance was pretty quiet since it was just us two for a while. Very clean and lots of nice artwork. Service was quick and our server was very attentive to our requests. The items we ordered were all very tasty. See photos. We also ordered a pitcher of passion fruit juice which was very refreshing. If you want to try some authentic Peruvian food, come try Peru Chicha! Not featured was their El Chupao but it was very filling and delicious. read more

Food: Delicious! Delicious! I got the lomo saltado. This was a really good lomo saltado. The meat was tender and juicy and the flavor of everything was just right. Restaurant: Clean! The restaurant has 5 tables and can fit about 18 clients. I went on a Friday around 5:00 pm and I was able to find a table. Parking: There are other restaurants and businesses at this plaza and it was busy. There weren't many parking spots when I got there but I was lucky to find one right away. read more

Peru Chicha Peruvian Restaurant - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

I went to Peru chicha after 1 year, because i had been thinking they were closed, but hopefully it still open, I really enjoyed every plate, my family and I we are Peruvian, so we highly recommend this place. The restaurant is small and cozy, food is good, the leche de Tigre was a blast, and for me who I'm a chifa fan, the aeropuerto is the best I tried so far here in California. Don't forget to try the chicha, is a must. Vanessa was our server, I noticed she was looking kinda serious, but anyways overall everything was good. The music is actually Peruvian with some cumbia and others. read more

Just tried them out for the first time and got a mix of different types of plates. Everything was tasty and they provide very good portions. I dont have Peruvian food alot, so I can't compare to other places, but the Jalea Mixta and the Aeropuerto were great! I was really happy and will be ordering from again. read more

You know the place is legit and authentic when they are committing to speaking to me and my party in Spanish despite none of being visibly from a Spanish speaking ethnicity. The servers were kind and helpful, and very quick with delivery. The food is absolutely delicious - I strongly recommend getting the aji de gallina. One of the best I've had. read more

Today while driving around I stopped by to try their Lomo Salgado De Asada. The first thing that I noticed as picked up my order was the size of the Chicha Morada ( a very traditional Corn Drink), i thought that the size that they had given me was by mistake and what that of a child's cup. However, I come to find out that they only offer it that size. I was pretty shocked how small it was. Their Saltado wasn't the best Saltado I've had and I thought it was a bit too plain in comparrison to the ones I've had in the past. The fries were a bit too dry and lacked in seasoning in the meat. The major downfall for me was that they don't provide their typical Green Salsa at this restaurant. The one that I was given was so little and very different from the traditional one, but tasty. The staff was very very friendly and food came out pretty quickly. read more

Tiny hole in the wall but worth the try. Good portion size and everything we ordered was very good. We got the lomo saltado, pasta with lomo saltado and chicken fried rice. The staff don't really speak English but they're all very nice. The restaurant itself is very small with limited seating - same goes for the parking lot. Highly recommend ordering from Grubhub if you are carrying out and doesn't speak Spanish. Definitely coming back to try other dishes. read more

Really bad customer service, I came on a Sunday for lunch with my family , we were waiting for a table , the waiters just don't care and let other people come when as a loyal customer know they don't accept reservations , you should have respect for your customers , you lost a client . 000 stars for this place read more

Peru Chicha Peruvian Restaurant - Leche de Tigre Peruvian Ceviche - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

Food was delicious, service was super quick and really good customer service... totally recommended!!!

Let me start by saying the food is authentic Peruvian food, but the service by far was atrocious. My family and I sat ourselves without being greeted, while asking for the server to take our order. A larger group comes & almost immediately we are asked to move tables or pretty much leave. We all set time aside from our busy schedules to dine at this establishment just to not eat at all & ruined our lunch. Terrible service & disappointing to say the least. We will never recommend this place to anyone one. read more

Food: Potato Chips:- - Solid but salty. Aji Amarillo dip lacked flavor. 3.5/5 Lomo Saltado: - Tenderish steak with decent smoke flavor accompanied by undercooked veggies and fries. Bland. 2/5. Needed more soy sauce and aji amarillo. Trio: - Fish ceviche: Tasty but a bit lime-y and some chunks of fish were a little chewy. Yams were incredibly soft and melted in your mouth. 3/5 - Fried fish ceviche: Same as above but a bit tastier. 3.5/5 - Spicy ceviche: Good flavor but a bit too acidic as well. Not much spice. 3.5/5 Purple corn drink: - Very good. Perfect sweetness and hint of cinnamon. Small portion. 4/5 Service: There were no dine-in customers during our time here. There was one man who looked to be the Manager who was helpful and a waitress...who didn't speak any English and didn't understand my broken Spanish. She was very friendly but there was a language barrier. I tried very patiently to get to-go containers for my leftovers but she ended up taking the food to the back...Manager and Cook both approached separately to help. I asked nicely for 3 boxes for my leftovers. I waited almost 10 minutes only to receive about half of my leftovers boxed up...the other half mysteriously missing. 2/5 Tl;dr: Bad saltado, decent ceviche. Tasty Purple corn drink. Friendly but language barrier service. 2.7/5 read more

Stoped by today tried to get something to eat, took my dog next door to get surgery, decided to get something to eat, stopped at this place and tried to order something, first thing the girl was tearing me like I was homeless or something. Tried ordering something, she had an attitude, normal I don't care for does things being a server and all. But honestly I found that rude and walked out, didn't bother ordering anything. Got treated like I had no money or would run out on my check. Will not be recommending thing place. read more

Being a Peruvian myself, I'm a hard critic when it comes to trying Peruvian food. However, I came across this spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try, BEST decision ever! To begin: It was a Saturday afternoon so there was a wait but the waiter was extremely nice and offered to move the waiting bench under a tree for shade so we wouldn't be under the hot LA sun. Talk about cordial! Once we were seated, we were surrounded by good traditional music, a tasteful interior design, and the lingering aromas of delicious Peruvian food. Mind you, I had surgery a week ago so I couldn't smell much but I was definitely able to capture the smell of the food from the other tables. We were off to a great start! In regards to our meal, we ordered their signature "ceviche Peru Chicha," causa limeña, and anticuchos. Everything was incredibly well balanced and I was very impressed. The plate that captivated me the MOST however, was the ceviche "Peru chicha." I've never tried ceviche prepared like this before but its a twist I highly recommend. For drinks we had a glass of maracuya and a bottle of emoliente. I normally don't vouch for emoliente but this one is a must. Apart from our delectable meal, our waiters (2) were also incredibly welcoming and very patient. As previously mentioned I recently had surgery so I did take a little longer to eat (we watched two tables that came after us, leave before us! lol). Nonetheless, the waiters never even tried to rush us out and were very attentive to our every need. Overall, if I could give this place six stars, I would! Unfortunately I live in the Bay Area which means I'll be mesmerizing over their ceviche until I can go back once I'm in SoCal again. But for anyone feeling a little skeptical about going, don't. It's worth it! read more

The food was great but the service was not, waited 1 hour to get a table and almost 2 hours to get the food ... they where taking phone orders as a priority instead of customers at the restaurant, and the tip is already included in the bill .

Ordered a soup today, and was helped by the owner I believe. He was Nice and took my order when I got there. Took about 15minutes.. the aguadito de pollo is really good and their sauce to. I also ordered a maracuya to drink and it was good as well. I'm editing this post because there was a piece of glass in my soup. Not a small piece a big piece at the end of my soup.

Peru Chicha Peruvian Restaurant - Piece of glass - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

Went for first and last time, ceviche extremely salty, chaufa con Pollo over cook chicken dry salty.

Location, Location, Location... Peru Chicha is really located in what I'd call a bad location, in a large strip plaza that sits back off the street, plenty of parking but you'll easily drive right on by this place without even noticing it was there. Once you enter this tiny "Restaurant" well not even sure if you can call it a restaurant with, I believe 3 small tables, service was very friendly seems like they just recently opened. To start off they bring you what I'll call Peruvian Corn Nuts https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/peru-chicha-peruvian-restaurant-gardena?select=tY9OCTLroJtp-g5vqTgxDg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg yeah, I don't know the actual name, but they are similar to a corn nut but not as hard, light crunch, very tasty. Lomo Saltado ($13.75) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/peru-chicha-peruvian-restaurant-gardena?select=mJAzL0gv_MfsbZ5bzgcqzg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Beef sauteed with onions, tomatoes and house cut French Fries, served with rice. While I'm not an expert on Peruvian food I can say I've had much better elsewhere.... The beef was good but the dish was dry, the potatoes "French Fries" seemed like they were made ahead of time and had been sitting around all day they were very dry https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/peru-chicha-peruvian-restaurant-gardena?select=yyGO3KyWL8G2RUpedbAU3g&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg also the dish should have a certain amount of juices and as you can see from the plate this had none. They don't have the traditional Green Aji, they did have the red chili which they called aji, I did like that it had a nice kick. read more

Peru Chicha Peruvian Restaurant - El Chupao "chupe de camarones", Arroz Aereopuerto - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

Okay this place. Let me start by explaining that this restaurant is in a little clean strip mall on western ave. Almost missed it because the sign is hard to read when traveling on that street. Walked in and noticed it is a clean, simple quaint place that is heavily decorated in Peruvian sayings and pictures, which I liked. The waiter was a very nice young man who told me to sit wherever I'd like and I realized that most of the restaurant is facing the sun at 4 pm. I chose a table but it got hot very quickly because they don't have tint on the windows which is basically the whole entrance. Not good, it makes for a uncomfortable eating environment especially when the summer comes. The menu is very complicated with Peruvian choices and when it comes to menu if there are so many choices then I feel that the restaurant doesn't specialize in specific dishes which is not a good sign. I ordered the chicha morada and it tasted good but felt it was expensive for one cup. They had the Peruvian canchas on the table which were alright tasting. Next the entrees, I ordered the lomo saltado and salchipapas. The lomo came and the meat was extremely tender (they said is filet mignon) but the food lacked flavor and salt unfortunately. I'm Peruvian so I know what Peruvian food should taste like. The salchipapas was okay tasting and worth it for the price. I will say I did enjoy the waiter he was a very nice man and even gave me a cup of some drink that they make that is suppose to be healthy but I don't remember the name of it. The people who did come in seemed like Peruvian people but besides that I didn't see local people in there. I hate to have to give them 3 stars but I think maybe if they trimmed down the menu and specialized on certain popular dishes they might just have a good restaurant. read more
