Delicious Peruvian restaurant with friendly server staff. They offer interior bar & booth seating. Diverse menu of appetizers, main dishes, desserts & cocktails. Great spot for a good dinner, date or fun night with a friend. Try the Lomo Saltado! Soooo good.
Unfortunately last visit.
I've had birthdays here, brought my employees here many times & had frequent date nights here.
We booked three weeks ago for Valentines & were seated in a makeshift back of the bar area by employee chargers facing the back of a big coffee machine. When I asked to move to an empty table, I was told it was reserved for'advanced bookings' & it stayed empty all night. The menu hasn't changed in years, & our waitress never came back for drinks. overall for the price, location & nothing for repeat customers… We'll be going somewhere else from now on.

Food was very good
Jade the waitress was amazing 👏 🤩
The bartender came to our table & took our clean plates & said do you want dessert ? Hello we had not even got our meal. Let jade do her job 🙄
I was looking forward to trying some peruvian chinese food, which I've never had before. The dish I would come back for is the Lomo Saltado. The beef was tender, well seasoned & the tomatoes were a great burst of flavour. The other dishes were also fine, just not as memorable as I was hoping it would be.
It is a littler on the pricier side & reservations are recommended. We walked in with a party of 4 & got seated at the bar which was pretty fun because you could see the different dishes they prepared.
Nous étions quatre amis, le barman Richard nous a expliqué les cocktails, la serveuse nous a offert de choisir les plats pour nous & tout était bons, goûteux & différents, nous n'avons même pas choisi le vin & ce fut une belle découverte. Très bel endroit à inscrire dans la liste de nos resto préférés.
Seems like a pretty interesting place. Getting a bar seat is nice as you can see them preparing everything.
The service was also really nice as well & seemed quite fast. Though the place seems pretty popular & is a quite packed.
The food was pretty interesting too. Some of the stuff was really good. I especially liked the French fries with the sesame aoli. The beef was so really good, as the flavour mixed with the tomatoes really came out.
Genuinely incredible find. I had the Purple Dragon cocktail (9.5/10), the chicken & pineapple sauce dish (9/10), & the corn cake dessert (100000000/10). Some of the best food I've ever had, & for dirt cheap. Can't recommend anything better. Staff was incredibly nice & the seat from the bar was fun & atmospheric. The bartender with arm tattoos & the waitress were both kind & personable, & made some incredible recommendations. The waitress made a recommendation for a drink that ended up not being to my friends taste, & she was quick to offer a replacement on the house. Please stop by if you're in the area.
C'est notre 3e visite au Chifa. Toujours parfait. Notre visite précédente remonte à il y a près d'un an. Dalhia nous a reconnus aujourd'hui, sans que nous y fassions référence!. La dernière fois, nous étions assis au bar, où elle a répondu à nos mille questions concernant la préparation des plats. Heureuse de partager sa passion pour la cuisine. Aujourd'hui, elle était au service, qui a été impeccable. Personnalité ensoleillée, ambitieuse, passionnée de la restauration. Notre expérience gustative se trouve rehaussée par la chaleur de son service attentionnée. Chifa est devenu une destination obligée à chacun de nos passages à Montréal.
Visiting Montreal for the weekend we were looking for something a bit different from the many delicious bistros etc. Chifa came up.
Close to our hotel we arrived before 9 pm & sat at the bar. The staff were welcoming & informative.
The play list was Cuban, the menu a fusion of Peruvian & Asian.
The empanadas were excellent, the shrimp also very tasty.
The Chi Jau Kaï Chicken was fantastic - served with rice which we paired with the market vegetables.
The Pastel Cholco was deliciously decadent.
The choice of rum made for a difficult decision.
A gem.
