This is kind of a cross between a quick service and a dine in restaurant. You set wherever you want but there is waitor service but they really don't dote on you just take your order and bring your foid which is fine, a lot of people do take out as well...It was hoping for a booth but the place was full maybe next time...Food came out super fast like in 2 minutes! The roast chicken came out well its roast chicken its all about the green sauce. The Jalea is just ok here i have had better and fresher...The best thing here is the lomo saltado, the beef was juicy and the fries were cooked perfectly. read more

Noticed the change to waiter-service when dining in when we went a week ago. Jalea is still a big portion for the price. Fried calamari is good to add to it. The whole chicken was juicy, even the wings weren't dry. read more

Ordered chicken combo from here a few times. Whole chicken combo comes with the same sized sauce that comes with quarter chicken combo entree. They frequently forget the sauce and straight up ignore requested for extra sauce, even after paying for it. Service and respect from staff is not at all acceptable either. read more

Decided to try Simple Peruvian on Greenpoint Ave. During the Sunnyside food crawl, the sample was great. 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. read more

This Chinese-Peruvian spot delivers on flavor and execution. Chicken: Juicy perfection with a creamy green, slightly spicy sauce. I want to eat this again and again. The sauce is the star of this dish even though the chicken was perfectly cooked. Ceviche: Citrusy and vibrant. A clean, classic preparation. Choclo corn and toasted corn are a staple of this dish. I enjoy the crunchy toasted corn Jalea: Impeccably crispy fried seafood platter. Great crunch and flavor. The batter is light and crunchy. Picarones: The Peruvian donuts are delicious, slightly sweet, and the perfect finish. My son devoured all the crispy edges of one donut. Service: you can order at the counter or the kiosk and the food is brought to your table. The restaurant feels like a fast casual but the team was very attentive in bringing drinks, food and cleaning the table. Overall: A gem. Simple Peruvian is highly recommended. read more

This place has been a favorite spot for quick Peruvian bites and grounded ambiance. I tried the picarones at this location and it was a good balance of crispy and chewy with the brown sugar syrup that wasn't too sweet but still added a nice kick for a sweet flavor. I got my go to dish, The Sampler, since it has rotisserie chicken, ceviche mixto, chaufa and a fried wonton chip that brings in a bunch of flavors especially if you don't know what to choose. also got kola inglesa since it's become my favorite soda over Inca kola. The tangy sauce that came with the Yuca frita brought a nice twist to the neutral tasting yuca that added to the crunchiness that made me want to go back for more. Always a great time! And they keep adding more items so makes me want to keep trying. read more

This is not a full waiter service restaurant; although there is wait staff to help you throughout your meal. Order, Pay and Tip at the front of the restaurant. Then you're given a # to take to your table. When your food is ready, they will bring it right to you. Very FAST service!!! In a blink of an eye, your food is at your table! My one critic is I wish they would space out the serving of the dishes; ALL of our dishes (Apptz, Entrees, Sides) came out all at once. So our chicken and rice & beans sat on the table getting cold, while we ate the appetizers first. MENU (shared by 4ppl): ~ Cerviche Mixto; comes with a side of your choice ($18): tasty Cerviche however, it was overloaded with onions and the seafood was chopped up into teeny tiny pieces. Not the best Cerviche. (3/5) ~ Jalea; comes with a side of your choice ($26): Nice variety of fried seafood! Fried but not greasy at all. (5/5) ~ House Salad ($9): basic salad to offset the rich food. Nothing much to say about it. lol ~ Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken ($15): This whole chicken is normally $17.50 but currently is offered for $15 as a Grand Opening Special. Delicious Rotisserie Chicken! Ask for extra green sauce! ~ Salchi Papas ($9): Nice ratio of sausages to french fries. I didn't care for the sauce that came of the side but this dish was good on its own. Ask for their green sauce instead. All in all, a nice addition to the neighborhood! Although there are other Peruvian restaurants in the neighborhood, Simple Peruvian offers it with an Asian twist. Great for fast-casual dining. Service & hospitality was friendly and welcoming. Don't forget to leave a tip! read more

The food was very good and very close to authentic. We ordered papa huancaina and lomo salteado. Both were delicious. Wish the papa huancaina had more black olives. The service was fast. The restaurant was clean inside and outside door was also clean. We had no problems parking because we went midweek and after 8 pm. read more

I came to Simple Peruvian after seeing an IG post that caught my attention, and I'm glad I did! This spot is pretty unique with its fusion of Asian and Spanish influences in the cuisine. You can order from the kiosk out front or directly at the register, and they even have a rewards program you can sign up for. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with the Lomo Saltado, which came with a free side thanks to their grand opening promo--we chose the fried wontons (3 pieces), and they were quite good. For my main entrée, I had the Ceviche Mixto with rice & beans as the free side. The ceviche had a lot of onions, which I personally wasn't a fan of, but the side was tasty. We also tried the dumplings, which reminded me of mini empanadas, and they were enjoyable as well. The atmosphere is very casual. You seat yourself if you're dining in, and they bring the food to your table after you take a number. Overall, it's a nice little spot with interesting flavors and a laid-back vibe. read more

Simple Peruvian - Sunnyside - Saltado de Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

BLUF: Good chicken, upbeat service. 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. read more

WOW! I was so excited to try this place out with the recent opening earlier last year. My partner and I were so satisfied with service! The people were SUPER kind and friendly. I enjoyed the ceviche and the Pollo al la brasa but the chicken was dry unfortunately. Food had SUCH GREAT FLAVOR and i hope to be back again for more! The random bathroom picture is just an addition to detail to the ambience of this restaurant. The decoration and design added to how beautiful and simple everything is in the perfect way! I love it! read more

Cute place to bring a big group of people or as a couple. My partner and i ordered fried rice and it was huge! We could have shared one but it makes for good left overs. You order then the food comes to you and thats it. Simple and easy. No frills. Would come back to try the other food as well. Clean new spot. read more

Takeout: Fed 4 people Ordered: 1/2 pollo À la brasa Aeropuerto special Lomo Saltado Ceviche Mixto These were all really good and had tons of food. I would get a whole chicken next time if I were to reorder and I really enjoyed the ceviche and lomo saltado. Quick if you ordered ahead and very accommodating. read more

WOWW! Decided to try this place out after seeing it on TikTok, sometimes that can be a hit or miss but this spot was definitely a HIT ! We ordered the Aeropuerto Chicken , Aeropuerto Special and the Ceviche Mixto. Let's start with the ceviche, so flavorful it was so much shrimp, not going to lie I was immediately in love. Moving on to the Chinese fried rice, it was probably one of the best fried rices I've had in a while ! The flavor did not disappoint and the fact that it was mixed with fried noodles made it even better than I expected. Staff was very friendly, the girl that took my order was able to give a lot of recommendations. Anyway I never really write reviews but I just finished my food and I'm extremely satisfied, will definitely be going back to try the lomo saltado. read more

Good food nice staff but portions are kind of on the small side.and no coffee . Fast service

Was close by, never ventured into Sunnyside. Found Simple Peruvian, simple but food was great. Chicken was nice and tender, fried rice was bursting with flavors and included lots of mixed meats. Ceviche was wow! Didn't expect portion to be so big. Everything was shareable. Service was fast, place your order, get a number and find a seat. Ambiance casual and clean. Would definitely return to try other things on the menu. read more

I ordered Chicken and tostones and spent almost $20 for just me, mind you I don't eat a lot so my order was simple and small but tell me why I ordered tostones and they look like they was fried in some oil that was used probably a million times for 3 months And that's not even crazy since this place is so expensive for just one person the piece of chicken looks like it's from a young chicken read more

I passed this brand new store front while making a trip to Kora. Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisines so of course I had to order. The inside was very clean and pretty. It's a fast casual restaurant, where you order up front and get a # and they bring it to your table. I ordered to go. I got the half chicken platter which comes with salad and either a choice of fries or chicken fried rice. It was very well priced ($15) and when ordering I made sure my platter came with green aji sauce (which it did) and I didn't have to order it separately. My food came out in 10 minutes well packaged. I quickly looked in the bag to make sure the sauce was there. When I got home, I realized I got no green sauce. I was devastated because this is what makes the chicken delicious! The sauce cup I saw in the bag was the salad dressing. If I wasn't 1 hour away in LI, I would've went back because I was SO sad. Everything I did get- tasted very good. The chicken had good seasoning, the fried rice was good and the salad had more than just iceberg lettuce. If I had the green sauce this would've been a 5 star review. read more

The staff there is friendly; however the food isn't worth the hype. My family and I ordered the half a chicken platter combo and were disappointed because the chicken was dry and with the portion size. Arroz chaufa special was just okay. We've had better. read more

Great spot for a full Peruvian dinner or a quick half chicken lunch The space is cute and the menu is delicious, with all the Peruvian favorites.

Awesome food! Very clean and organised. The prices are very reasonable compared to other Peruvian restaurants.

Ordered delivery so can't speak for dining in but my chicken was juicy and flavorful. Looking forward to ordering from them again.

You order at the kiosk and take a number and they bring you the food. The highlights were the roast chicken, ceviche and tostones. All the sauces we had were very delicious. The only item I would not order again is the hen soup. Reasonably priced. Attentive service. Simple quiet place to have a meal. read more

todo desagradable la atencion la comida nada comparado a su antiguo restaurante chifa ese lugar si era branazo

I went to Grand opening, boy it was packed! First you order up in the front counter, Pay and sit. My family and I ordered lomo saltado that came with a free app, the app trio, wonton soup, chirimoya ice cream and picarones. We got the wonton soup first, lacked some flavored but was full of wontons and chicken chunks. Next, the app trio which included fried wonton ( one piece), arroz Chaufa ( cold), ceviche mixto and pollo a la brasa( also cold and lacked flavor). Then we got the lomo saltado which didn't even taste like authentic lomo saltado. Then the waiter forgot our desserts so he went to get it and wreaked a good 20 mins for ice cream and picarones( Peruvian doughnuts). Ice cream was amazing of course and the picarones were ok, didn't like the fact that only 3 came out in a portion and the sauce was just drizzled on top instead of on the side or on the plate. I really liked the ice cream, so I ordered 2 to go along either picarones... boy it was the biggest mistake I did. It took over an hour to get my order right. At first they only gave me one ice cream and they forgot to put the rest in my bag. They took it back and I only had 2 ice creams and no picarones! I'm glad I checked twice because they messed up big time, shouldn't have taken that long. The staff saw how pissed off I was so they offered me a drink to go... I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. I wish them the best of luck! read more

I wanted to try the new spot in our neighborhood. I ordered the food through delivery. For the lomo saltado to be $20 it comes with a small side of rice which just doesn't seem worth it. Most places give sides of green sauce but none of the dishes came with sauces. The fried rice was pretty bland and a little dry. I did enjoy the flavor of the lomo saltado but something about the flavor did not taste authentic . I'm assuming this place is more Asian influenced than Peruvian. I'll give this place another shot and try it in person. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint next time. read more

Simple Peruvian - Sunnyside - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

I've been here about five times since they opened and overall, the food is great. I've tried the lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, and ceviche, and all were delicious. However, the chirimoya ice cream was definitely not chirimoya and wasn't good. One thing that really stands out is the sauce policy. I don't mind paying extra, but $1.50 for one small sauce is a bit much--especially since none are included with your meal. If you're Peruvian, you know sauces are essential! I still recommended this place to my friends, and they loved the lomo saltado too. But the next day, they ordered aeropuerto de pollo and were mistakenly given the aeropuerto especial (which includes shrimp). One of them is allergic to shrimp, so this could have been a very serious situation. Accuracy with orders is super important, especially when allergies are involved. read more

Amazing service they were so quick to give us our plates. Full of delicious food. The food 10/10 Everything was very clean. Bathrooms were clean and spotless. Would be nice if they would put music in the main area where you eat. They do have it in the bathrooms and its all Peruvian music which we loved. Went with 11 people including kids and we all left satisfied with a full tummy. Would be awesome if they had Peruvian breakfast. Chicha was on point They have kola inglesa read more

OK, only had whole chicken to go so take with a grain of salt -but chicken incredibly salty. Then why 5 stars - lovely ambiance, nice people, seem really proud Peru heritage, a couple of books on Peru cuisine, Peru Andes displayed. The salt problem is easily sorted - generous 4 containers salsa verde. I prefer salsa blanca like Riko's same block so suggest add. Will def be back when family is in town to check out the menu-very very reasonable prices a real winner. Excellent addition to Sunnyside - best wishes! read more

Chicken ran out by 8:45, but got the lomo saltado instead which was really good with tender beef

PHENOMENAL!!!!! the food was outstanding and the service was surprisingly amazing! We thought this place was a restaurant but it's more like a take out. we are so glad we stayed! The waiters were so accommodating to our large group (13). We all enjoyed the food and it came out fast! The desert was truly just like home! we found our spot and will be back! read more
