So now the place has plenty of seating inside and out. I was immediately greeted and seated in the new area. The server was friendly and professional. I ordered a diet Inca cola, Papa a la Huancaina, Aji de Guilliana and Alfajores. I was not disappointed on how good the place still is. I'm a son of Peruvian immigrants and the authentic flavors are on target. I also noticed that the same chef was style cooking too. I highly recommend Sazon because the flavors are authentic and you will come out totally satisfied. Check them out!

The arroz (rice) was especially delicious with a perfect amount of spice. We also got a couple of drinks, which were strong but balanced and tasted how they were described in the menu. We sat outside and enjoyed live music from the band next door on a Friday night. The inside of the restaurant is large and trendy. The service was very kind and helpful when we had questions about the menu. The bathroom was in the back corner behind the kitchen, and it had a coded lock (be sure to ask for the code before walking all the way back there). Overall we had a great experience and loved everything we ordered.

Restaurant was busy, with just the right amount of patrons. Prices at Warike seemed steep in comparison to La Rosa, but everything was worth every dime. Everything we ordered there was flavorful & delicately prepared and delicious, 10/10. Everything was perfect with excellent ambience and customer service. A definite recommendation for all to try: I ordered LOMO SALTADO CLÁSICO (GFA) $28 and this was a 10/10: Traditional Peruvian style beef tenderloin, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, soy, lomo sauce and oyster sauce, french fries & rice. We also ordered TAGLIATELLE AL ROCOTO $25 and this was a 9/10 for me: Fried prawns & tagliatelle pasta, served with roasted peppers, fresh peas, and house rocoto lemon sauce. And lastly we ordered empanadas and these were a hit, lightly fried on the exterior, 10/10: EMPANADAS DEL LOMO $16 Crispy pastry filled with beef tenderloin, red onion, tomato, cilantro, served with rocoto aoili. EMPANADAS DE POLLO $15 Crispy pastry filled with our traditional Aji de Gallina, served with parsley aioli.

A bright and clean space with understated decor. Portions are good so you might want to skip appetizers though we tried the Calamari which was good and the Yuca Frita was sublime. Small wine list with good choices from South America and if you order by the glass you will be amazed at the size of the pours; double what one would normally get! Two of us had the Paella which was very good, a third ordered the excellent Lamb Shank and the fourth had the top notch Pork Rib platter which completely disappeared very quickly. Perhaps next time we'll try the Ceviche as we will return if they can remain in business with such little traffic. While not inexpensive the value is solid as you would pay far more in any other good Sonoma County restaurants for similar dishes. Polite if a bit shy service but man did she light up when we went head over heels over her family home made hot sauces which are a "must try" if you have an appropriate appetizer. Ask for them as they bring you tasty but not too spicy standard condiments. Oh, and very clean restrooms and well paced food serving times. Keep this place open, try it sooner vs later.

Sorry but this place appears to be vacant and closed no sign of it has relocated. Too bad.read more

Nice tables and silverware and plates. They have a good sized menu. Food was the surprise. I expected it to be different but it was quite tasty. We shared the empanadas 1 each - beef, chicken, pork. We also had the sweet plantains and the mango habanero ceviche. The empanadas were a little on the small side but they were delicious. The mango habanero ceviche was really just cooked shrimp with a mango habanero sauce and pickled red onions. There was also a dried plantain chip on top. Though I was expecting a more traditional ceviche, it was really tasty. The sweet plantains were excellent, just what you expect with more onions and a sour cream type sauce. The service was quick but not intrusive. Would definitely come back.

I've loved every single food item i've tried from here, all the different ceviches, the Tallarines Verdes, Adobo de Cerdo, Lomo Saltado??? Everything is incredible, but once I tried the Aji de Gallina, I was STUCK. I loved this dish so much, I would come here once every other month or so to get it, including my last three birthdays. But sadly, I will say, the last two times i've been here, (since July of 2026), I've been disappointed with the Aji de Gallina. Something is different. The chicken tastes drier now, and the sauce isn't quite what it used to be. I'm not sure if the recipe was changed, but please know I am devastated and heartbroken to no longer be able to get my favorite dish and have it taste like it once did. Will it stop me from coming here? No. But I needed to make it known that the change to this dish made someone who once couldn't deviate from eating it if I tried, turn into someone who now refuses to order it because I can't bank on it being as delicious as it once was. And for that, my heart hurts. Still love u guys tho.
