Most entrees are $18.99, plus you receive and appetizer and a soda can. I ordered the ceviche for my appetizer and the Chaufa fried rice with chicken for my entree. The portion of rice was huge! It was delicious as was the ceviche. The guy next to me was eating something that looked delicious. I asked him what it was and we had a nice conversation. For dessert, I enjoyed the passionfruit mousse. This is a real treat and just the right size. I love this place and if you like Peruvian food, I bet you will too.

Located in the Home Depot plaza at the northwest corner of University Drive and Sterling Road, this…read moreis a spot with many retail stores. So, there is lots of parking. The restaurant is small, with room for about 40 diners. It's bright and airy and on a Monday afternoon at lunchtime the World Cup games blasted on the TV and the restaurant was about half full. It features lunch specials for less than $20 that include an appetizer, entree, and beverage. There was one main server and what seemed like an owner, who also was serving. She served us and though she lagged at times, she was very congenial. Hubby had the lomo saltado lunch special and paid extra for a ceviche appetizer. I love tacu tacu, so I had a pollo saltado with the rice dish. Both meals were delicious. We especially liked that they weren't too salty (often a problem with Peruvian saltado dishes). And I asked to have my onions cooked well and they obliged. My onions were perfect, cooked but with a slight crunch. I was a bit disappointed in the tacu tacu. I thought it was a tad dry. The gravy did help, but I didn't have enough and didn't think it possible to ask for more. Next time I will ask for extra gravy and stick with plain rice. They charge an extra 4% to use a credit card. (Something that has been cropping up a lot in restaurants.) We managed to dig out $65 cash between us to pay the bill. I guess we have to start carrying more cash, or pay the extra charges.

The fish ceviche in my Trio Marino lunch special was fresh and delicious, but the fried calamari was completely tasteless and dry. The seafood rice had a great creamy texture, but the very last bite was ruined by a massive, unstirred pocket of pure salt. Service-wise, they charged me an extra $6 for an Arnold Palmer, claiming it wasn't included in the lunch special because it's a mix of the iced tea and lemonade that are included. I didn't want to make a scene in front of my colleague, so I paid it. When I called later to politely give feedback to a manager, I was told no manager would be on duty from Tuesday until Friday. Unbelievable for a restaurant of this caliber. Good food potential, but terrible management structure and petty upcharging.

It's located in a very unassuming spot, tucked into a parking lot in a slightly industrial area, but don't let that fool you. Inside, you'll find something special. What stood out even more was the owner/manager, who went to great lengths to make us feel welcome. He took the time to explain the menu and recommend the best choices for both food and drinks, making the whole experience feel personal and effortless. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and combined with the authenticity of the food, it makes for a memorable visit. Definitely worth seeking out.

It's in a little corner of the plaza but parking is easy and the place is clean, colorful and spacious. We were sat easily as a party of 4 on a Saturday at 2p. The service was great, the staff was friendly and super attentive. I started with a maracuya sour, one of my favorite drinks of all time and not super common to find. It was so good, made perfectly. To eat, i was craving tallarines -- sadly, they don't have that here. I pivoted to splitting a ceviche tradicional as an appetizer and a Lomo saltado. I ordered the steak medium rare. The ceviche was good, they really skimp on the choclo and sweet potato though. The Lomo came out overcooked. My companion's did come out medium rare, maybe they gave him mine, but why would they ever make them as well-done as mine came out i don't know. So they remade it for me. It was better but really nothing special. For ~$30 a plate i wanted a little more. The menu could have had more options in my opinion too, but it was still a nice lunch and the friendly service helped make it better.

It is a reduced portion of their menu as it includes only 5 choices, but the choices are good enough that they are a great sampler of the food and the portion size is abundant! We all took some home for dinner! This time we did not taste their desserts, but I have such a craving for the chocolate cake that looked delicious, that I'm sure I'll be back soon! I ordered the tenderloin over the huancaina risotto and it was a huge portion (not a lunch menu item). The sauce was a bit salty so I did not take it "to go", just the delicious risotto and the tenderloin chunks. Three friends ordered the "trio" sampler with ceviche, fried calamari and some risotto; a couple friends ordered the sautéed chicken with white rice and French fries that looked spectacular, and a couple other friends ordered the fettuccini in huancaina sauce with the breaded chicken filet that was a humongous dish and very yummy! Finally one friend ordered a Maki Sushi roll that was beautifully plated, and another ordered the seafood risotto that was also very yummy.

The food was so good that I decided to return with my family and dine at the restaurant. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was attentive, and the staff took good care of us. There were only two small issues during our dine-in visit. My Paisa Bowl seemed to have much less steak than my takeout order--probably only three or four strips. Also, my brother ordered his steak medium-rare, but it arrived extremely well-done. Thankfully, the staff handled it well and replaced it without any problem, which we appreciated.

I am only giving a 3 star because of the service. The waiters were nice and attentive, and the host was super sweet to my girls. I think this place is good for breakfast.

I had a great time the first time, and yep it's still that girl. Let's talk about the vibe real quick. The ambiance is everything. Modern, and just really well put together. From the furniture textures to the contrast in colors it all feels super intentional but still chill. Like, they knew what they were doing when they designed this place. 10/10 on the setting alone. Let's get down to the items shall we? What We Had Drinks ____________________ + Naori Signature Drink ($15) : 8.4/10 This one's made with Pisco Berries and Triple Sec. It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago!

I have never been so disappointed after spending so much money at a Peruvian restaurant…read more I'm a foodie, and I have no problem paying $$$$ for a meal if it's worth it. One thing about me: I'm absolutely obsessed with Peruvian cuisine. Unfortunately, this place completely missed the mark. The service was terrible from the start. They use electronic tablets as menus, but mine was dead. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes just to get someone's attention and receive a replacement. That's just the beginning. My food arrived before my drinks, and I had to repeatedly ask for a bottle of water and a spoon. I ordered the chaufa, and it was incredibly oily. It didn't even have the proper color or flavor you'd expect from a good Peruvian fried rice. I would've taken a photo, but by that point we had already waited so long that I just wanted to eat. To make matters worse, the dish was mostly rice with maybe 10 pieces of chicken scattered throughout. I left half of it untouched. I also ordered ceviche and specifically wanted shrimp and fish. Instead, they brought me fish only and somehow upsold me to a different fish that I never asked for. Of course, I didn't find that out until the bill arrived. Overall, it was overpriced, disappointing, and nowhere near worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and spend your hard-earned money somewhere else.
