Norkys has been one of our family's go-to spots for Peruvian food over the years, and we've tried…read moremultiple locations. Out of all of them, this location has honestly been the one we've enjoyed the most and the one we keep coming back to. That said, over the past year or two, I do feel the food quality has declined a bit. I recently ordered the lomo saltado (the lower-priced option), and while the meat was flavorful and savory, there was a little too much broth, which made the fries and rice soggy. My husband ordered the tacu tacu with steak, but it felt like there were barely any beans in it. For the kids, we ordered salchipapa. They enjoyed it, but I was expecting the hot dogs to have a little more crisp instead of being soft. What keeps us coming back is the experience here. The restaurant is always clean, organized, and has a really nice ambiance. The staff is attentive, service is quick, and we rarely have to wait or follow up on anything. Their ají verde is still really good too. Overall, I'd say 3.5 stars for the food, but 4 stars for service, ambiance, and overall experience. I really hope the food quality improves because this location has been one of our favorites.

The menu is a fantastic blend of authentic Peruvian flavors with distinct Japanese and Chinese influences that make this cuisine so unique. The atmosphere is modest, warm, and incredibly welcoming, and our server was absolutely terrific. I had the Bistec a la Pobre ($22) -- a perfectly-marinated hanger steak served over generous portions of french fries, white rice topped with a freshly fried egg, and a side of grilled sweet plantains. YUM! The flavors were absolutely spot on. My dining companion loved her Pollo Saltado ($19) -- a generous portion of tender, boneless marinated chicken sauteed with onion, peppers, and tomato served over french fries with a side of white rice. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home to enjoy with your meal. Peru Chikann is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: Bring cash. Peru Chikann has added a surcharge for using credit cards to pay for your meal.

Had a slight Asian flavor. Garlic. Cumin & a touch of soy sauce. With a side of rice. We had a little bowl of a creamy green sauce for the rice. Just the right amount of heat! I believe the waiter called it Aji Verde. (English wasn't his first language) the waiter was awesome! He told us the menu was not in English & he would help us in any way. He was polite & friendly. The space was roomy, super clean & the music playing was fabulous. We couldn't help dancing in our seats! LOL! What a great experience! I sure hope it stays. This is a new fav!

Although a bit more on the expensive side for a broke college student, the huge portions are what you would expect for the price. Something to note is that the price of the menu items are actually about $1 more than the menu listed on Yelp. My friend and I shared the Lomo Saltado and Arroz con Mariscos (con ceviche) but for two people, one dish is probably enough. Even though I was disappointed the fries that came with the Lomo Saltado weren't crispy, they paired well with the beef. The ceviche was my favorite - it was the right amount of sour and I wish we got more. The Arroz con Mariscos was equally delicious, though I recommend adding sauce since it can be a little dry. Service was a little slow (we had to go up to find a waitress to order and pay) but the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

They took the same fish that my husband had removed a small piece before we realized it wasn't cooked thoroughly and cooked it longer and by the time it came back to the table it was almost half the size.
