I felt like I stepped into the world of Peru by visiting this vibrant restaurant. It's a fusion between Peruvian cuisine and nightclub culture. The staff were very welcoming and I loved that there was a window to see inside the kitchen. The restaurant doesn't have normal operating hours so I am sharing so you can plan your visit accordingly. I don't want you to be like me and plan to visit for lunch when you can't until Sunday, lol. Hours: Wednesday - Thursday 5pm - 10pm (2 for 1 Maki Roll Special on Wednesdays) | Friday: 5pm - 1am (Tapas and Hookah Available) | Saturday 5-10pm | Sunday: 1pm - 7pm I was able to try the following items: Chaufa de Pollo (Peruvian Fried Rice with chicken) - vegetables and egg fried rice with Peruvian spices - well-seasoned and packed with a good amount of chicken Dragon Roll - shrimp tempura, nori seaweed, sushi rice, avocado, cucumber, spicy glaze- incredible flavor, size, and a great combination of ingredients. one of the best sushi rolls I've tasted ever. Peruvian Classic Ceviche - tender fish slices cooked in "Leche De Tigre" marinade. served with sweet potato, Andean corn, relish of onion, and Peruvian corn nuts. - this dish needs to grow on me, but it is well-marinated. Pisco-Rita - Pisco, Triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup - perfection Strawberry Guava Margarita - sweet and refreshing read more

Dangerous--in the best way possible. Mostly because it's down the street from me, which means I can enjoy a few Pisco sours and safely walk home. Win-win. The vibe here leans more nightclub than traditional restaurant, but that's part of the fun. It's lively, energetic, and perfect for a night out when you want a little buzz (literally and figuratively). Let's get to the important part: Pisco sours. If you love them like I do, you're in the right place. They're smooth, balanced, and absolutely worth the hype. Food holds its own, too: * Ceviche: fresh, bright, always solid * Empanadas: crispy, flavorful, easy win Service is friendly and attentive, prices feel fair, and the happy hour makes it even more tempting. Dessert? You could... but honestly, just get another Pisco sour and call it a night. Bottom line: great drinks, fun atmosphere, and reliably good food. Get out there, Charlotte--eat (and sip) while the gettin's good. read more

I am giving this location three stars for various reasons. First, the drinks have amazing decorations that are done by a machine that they have in the restaurant but it's a hit or miss if they are strong versus foamy. The food is great, but there are certain dishes that are not authentic and have a few additional ingredients that are not part of the traditional dishes in Peru. I'm only basing my review on my own experience with these dishes as a Peruvian. I did also order a Seco once via DoorDash and it came a bit dry so I wasn't too impressed by that dish. Hoping to come back here and have a different plate that might change my experience. Service is overall good and the team bear is friend, friendly and helpful. read more

Service, food. I had to ask the server (bar service) to get off his phone to order. He couldn't make any recommendations. He finally said the flat bread was ok. It's NOT. Doughy, no flavor in the sauce etc etc. good service can make up for bad food, it doesn't here. read more

This is near spot nested right on church street in uptown. The decor is beautiful and vibrant. Parking is street parking or in the nearby garage . The food is Peruvian and I can say very much authentic. I enjoyed my avocado dish and my lychee martini . The staff were great and explained everything on the menu . I wish I could remember what I had but it's on the appetizer menu. lol I would be back for dinner. read more

One of the best Peruvian cuisines in Charlotte you HAVE to try! (not enough people go here, it's dissatisfying.) We were greeted by a friendly waitress and environment, it was well decorated, portraying Peruvian landscapes with large LED screens. Drinks were well made with beautiful decorations. They were delicious! The food however, was ALSO delicious! I got the classic ceviche and it was very good with a tangy taste and the perfect amount of fish in the dish. I also got the anticuchos (cow heart bites) and those were so tender and juicy. It tastes like steak bites, don't get scared folks. Overall, really good, PLEASE GIVE THIS BUSINESS YOUR ATTENTION!!! I'm sure you won't regret it. read more

The food was so delicious. Some of the best Peruvian food I have had. The service was excellent! All of the servers were so nice, attentive and asked often if I need anything or if there was anything else I needed. If you love ceviche you have to order this plate. The portions are a good size and will fill you up. Also ordered anticucho stater. It was a huge portion for a stater plate and came with potatoes and Peruvian corn. The Pisco sours were also amazing and such a fun surprise. They were some of the best that I have had. The drinks come with a fun Peruvian design on top. The restaurant was well decorated and provided for a great ambiance. They were playing Peruvian music and had Peruvian videos from local towns in Peru on the screen. If you are looking. For amazing Peruvian food to enjoy with your friend or family you need to try out this place. read more

Dined here with work colleagues. It was midweek and the restaurant was not busy. We were seated right away. The staff and environment were very friendly and welcoming. All of the food was very good with the table ordering shareables, sushi, and entrees of all kinds. Portions were appropriate for the cost and the ingredients were fresh. Everyone at the table had empty plates at the end of the meal. read more

Had a reservation, got a notice it was cancelled hours before. Comedy show in Charlotte tonight, so was pretty stranded with nowhere to eat thanks to this. read more

I'm surprised at the poor reviews. Pisco is both consistent and delicious. I've never been disappointed by their ceviche, lamb shank and the lomo saltado. The drinks are great and the service has always been welcoming. The vibe in the restaurant is super cute and love the decor. read more

This is my second time here - the first time was opening week and the second time was last week. A few things are different- the food the second time around was not the same I had the first time. The arroz chaufa was great the first time with a large shrimp on top and all, this time - no shrimp and lacking flavor. The pulpo was decent- again - the first time I visited everything was fantastic. Same with the lomo saltado - the steak was tough. Not sure what happened. The ceviche was still very good. Service outstanding and ambiance fun and welcoming. read more

On my first visit to this restaurant, the enticing images on Instagram motivated me to try it out. My husband and I chose it for a date night. While the menu offered a unique fusion of Asian-inspired dishes rather than traditional Peruvian fare, my shrimp fried rice initially disappointed as the rice was hard and undercooked. Switched to beef lo mein, where the onions were a bit large, but the beef was well-prepared and tender at a perfect medium. I advise against opting for medium well or well done as it may result in toughness. My husband enjoyed the seafood plate with white rice, and the yuca fries and grilled shrimp were highlights. Personally, I might not revisit, but I'd recommend it to family and friends for them to form their own opinions. read more

Let's get into it Because the restaurant is located in uptown the parking isn't great. There's a garage close by but they don't validate. So take into account $10 parking fee. We arrived at 9pm on Friday night. There was a wait but we got lucky and got a table right away. So i suggest having a reservation. The restaurant is well decorated and they were playing music. Most people had on heels and were dressed nicely. There seems to be a private dining area room and downstairs they have a bar, dance floor and music. I ordered the passion sour as my cocktail. It was very strong and didn't have any passion fruit flavor at all. It was still good but if you're looking for something on the lighter side, i would suggest something else. We also ordered a mule which was good. Lorena was our server. She was very nice. We asked for some plate recommendations, she said the lomo salteado was the most popular. She didn't check on us as much as you would expect but we were ok with that. Now the food: We ordered the lomo salteado and the tacu with lomo Both were good and had good flavor. But nothing really that stands out. Also the dishes were cold. I do think Both plates were a good size. We ended up having left overs. I do also wish the menu had more of a variety of items. read more

Terrible experience. We went for a Valentine's Day dinner on Friday and the restaurant was hosting a networking event, which made the atmosphere awkward and not at all appropriate for a date night. Drinks were fine, but the ceviche was disappointing--the corn was undercooked, and when I mentioned it, they blamed refrigeration instead of fixing it. The server said a manager would come speak with us, but no one did. This was our third visit and will be our last. I used to recommend this place, but now I feel obligated to warn others--this is not what Peruvian cuisine should be. read more

This place has potential. The food is delicious and beautiful to look at. However, their menu is small and our server lacked knowledge on their wine selection. They did not offer to ask the bartender for help until we asked them to do so. The location of this establishment is in uptown Charlotte so parking is hectic. My sister did park at a parking deck and the establishment never asked to validate our parking ticket. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and she did get a choice of a free birthday dessert. She chose a tiramisu but instead got a slice of chocolate cake. We decided to stay after hours because it turns into a club at 11pm. The club has two levels, with the main level playing Latin music. The DJ did play cumbias as requested by me however it was more of the commercial cumbia music. The basement level had more English, rave type music with a tiny dance floor and bar. Overall, it was an ok experience. read more

I went to a friend's birthday here and she had a guest count of 20+ people on a Friday night. 3 hours later... and not everyone got their food yet. They had ONE server & ONE server assistant. Probably only 2 cooks. They knew a party of 20+ was coming! Carlos the bartender was great! My friend said the server had attitude with her guests. Lucky for the server, the guests were doing their best to be polite even though she was rude! Y'all were behind on food - there's no need for attitude because y'all were in the wrong Def won't come back. This place should have been grateful for the 20+ guests that patronized the business. Heard the manager did not even respond to my friend's complaint. Do better please!! Get competent staff who knows how to care for and appreciate their guests, even when y'all are hella behind on food and understaffed!! read more

This place has SO much potential, but seeing it is recently somewhat of a new establishment, im hoping they are making serious work with making it better. Visited for a friend's bday dinner celebration at 8:30pm. The place is located in the same spot where "The Roxbury" nightclub used to be. Next door to Tequila House. It is a restaurant that turns into a nightclub after hours. Our waitress, phew, bless her heart. I know she was trying her hardest, but she really was giving off, barely seasoned and new to the crew vibes. She was super sweet and friendly, though. We ordered Prosecco, and we're told they actually do not have that. When asked if they had anything aimilar, she just said idk and left it at that (no type of help). A few other friends ordered the "Kings Crown" cocktail and apparently they ran out of that drink which is weird since it was still early on a Saturday and you would think they would stock up on those ingredients since it's their most "popular" drink. They ended up ordering a few other drinks from the menu, but none of them were a favorite among the group. A lot of the drinks tasted super watered down, so it left very little encouragement to order more drinks. We ordered the Causa Sampler, Pulpo Anticuchero, Lomo Saltado & the Arroz de Mariscos. Now, the Lomo Salvador was definitely a favorite amongst the group, and so was the Pulpo dish. Very tasteful ND very well marinated. The Arroz de Marisco was not a favorite. It looked more like soup that was topped with heavy serving of cheese, and we just could not stomach it. They did bring out a Tiramisu for my friend, but it was actually just a piece of chocolate cake. Even the server said it was just chocolate and didn't know why they advertised it as a Tiramisu. Overall, nice vibes and lovely restaurants. It was VERY empty for a Saturday night, and even during club hours, it was fairly empty. Seemed like a lot of people were going next door. I feel like they can definitely do better. read more

The service was horrible! They tried to upcharge us after paying the bill saying we owed for a drink that they messed up on. Don't recommend. read more

Took us over an hour to get our food and then over another hour to get our checks. They were out of almost every ingredient. They did not tell us out loud that 20% gratuity was already added. There was one waitress who barely spoke English, for 3 tables of over 10 people which was incredibly unfair to not only the waitress but also the customers who had to wait over an hour to be waited on while 3 managers just stood around with their arms crossed leaning against the wall. The drinks and food were somewhat decent other than running out of ingredients, they literally ran out of vodka. read more

Excellent authentic Peruvian food! All the staff in the kitchen are Peruvian which explains the quality to the food. Skip the random sushi on the menu and stick to the classic dishes. Service was awesome --Ricky was pleasant and attentive! I enjoyed watching the videos on the large screens. Reminded me of our trip! read more
