Decided to try Simple Peruvian on Greenpoint Ave. During the Sunnyside food crawl, the sample was…read moregreat. After looking at the menu, I went to the kiosks to order the Loco Saltado. The friendly employee checked if I ordered from the kiosk, and I did. After 5 minutes or so, my order was ready and I took it to go. The stir-fried beef was really salty (think it's the marination) even when you eat the beef with the white rice or fries to try to dilute how much sauce there is. The tomato and onions were great. Tons of fries (that I can't finish it) and a small container of white rice. Have to come back and try the cerviche and fried rice next time.

BLUF: Good chicken, upbeat service…read more Simple Peruvian in Sunnyside, NY, is currently my favorite place for rotisserie chicken in Queens. Dishes we've had include: - Half Chicken: $9.50; $10.34 with tax. The chicken and accompanying green sauce are above average; 4 stars out of 5. The chicken is flavorfully marinated and moist, and the green sauce has a little heat to it. - The Sampler: $16.99; $18.59 with tax. The most flavorful component of this dish was the chicken. The rice was on the mushy side. The ceviche was OK but the proteins didn't quite have the right textures. - Aeropuerto Special: $15.25; $16.60 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. A mixture of thin lo mein noodles and rice with some roast pork, chicken, and shrimp. The dish seemed to have a decent wok hei, which was confusing because the chicken rice from the Sampler was on the mushy side. This dish would be much better with more proteins, and the wok hei suggests that the restaurant has untapped potential. - Papa Rellena: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. Stuffed deep fried potatoes that seemed factory-made, instead of house-made. Atmosphere, Service, Other: The restaurant is casual, clean, and comfortable for dining in, with a mix of regular tables and booth-style seating. Those who choose to dine-in should order food at the counter, receive a number placard, and find a place to sit. Staff will bring plates, utensils, and later, one's food and drink; and will clear the table when your party is finished eating. Service is notably upbeat. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at an affordable 12%. Overall ticket time (the time between placing an order and having that order served) is reasonable. By contrast, Bayside Chicken Lovers often requires that orders be placed in advance to minimize wait time. The restroom is adequately maintained, but oddly pipes in music louder than in the main dining area. Simple Peruvian is a couple of storefronts away from Kora, which is a superb place for dessert afterwards.

I ordered the lomo saltado combination which came with rice and beans ($16.75) and my husband ordered the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans. We thought the rice was cooked really well and the meats were flavored and their green sauce delicious! You basically order and pay. They ask if it's to go or to stay. If you're staying, once you pay- you find a seat and someone will bring the food to you. We really enjoyed eating here. It's a no frills dining experience but the food is all worth it.

My wife and I ordered the Lomo Saltado (Carne) and the Pescado Frito (or fried fish chunks). Let me tell - the Lomo Saltado was some of the most flavorful Lomo Saltado I've had in a while. Juicy, well marinated skirt steak accompanied by grilled red onion and tomatoes, on top of a bed of French fries and white rice. They had pickled onions on the side of this dish to really complement the savoriness of the dish with a nice touch of pungent acidity. Well balanced meal. The Pescado Frito came with an abundance of lemons which is a plus if you like to add that to your deep fried fish - as well as some Yucca and your traditional Peruvian sauces (white sauce and red sauce/hot sauce). Both sauces were flavorful and house made. I highly recommend this place, it was clean, service was quick and very hospitable. Our server made sure that we had ample napkins for our meal. My wife mentioned the bathroom was clean and there's ample seating inside for parties of 4 or more. Check this place out - you won't regret it.

I randomly ended up here on a weekend when they have a special brunch menu. Living in Queens for…read morethe past four weeks, I was really craving menudo, but since this area doesn't have many Mexicans (more Latin America), I realized that it wasn't possible to find menudo. Well, I got lucky here. I wanted to try Peruvian food and noticed on their menu that they serve cau cau. It's a Peruvian tripe soup with potatoes instead of the hominy that's in menudo. The cau cau was delicious. The tripe was tender with just a slight chew. And it had none of the gaminess of tripe. The potatoes were tender and really gave depth and body to the soup. It's definitely a lot lighter than menudo and there's not much acidity to cau cau, but I loved it anyway. They brought over two hot sauces. Both were delicious, but I preferred the spicier red one. I wasn't sure what to do with them since I had just ordered soup, so I started by trying to mix some of the red hot sauce into the soup. It didn't make much difference to the soup. So instead, I would pick up a spoonful of tripe and potato and then spoon on a dollop of the sauce on top. I'm sure people were looking at me like I was crazy ("this guy is putting hot sauce on each bite of soup..."), but it was worth it. It was pure deliciousness. I also got a cup of passionfruit juice. It's definitely just poured out of a container, but it was perfectly chilled and tasted great. The sweetness and acidity went really well with the hearty tripe soup. I'm so used to be offered orange juice, apple juice, or cranberry juice that just the taste of a different kind of juice made it extra special. If I lived in this area, I'd get this cau cau every weekend.
