Chifa

Overall, the food was very good. We had the catch if the day ceviche (tilapia), chaufa, & Chow Mein. I spent a considerable amount of time in Peru & have eaten my fair share of cusqueno y Lima based chifa, so expectations were high. The food was pretty delicious. It had a lot of flavor & did herald a lot of the same qualities as local Peruvian chifa. The aji was a solid touch (if you know, you know). Service wise, I was slightly disappointed. We received our first two dishes relatively quickly, but they forgot about our other entre for almost 45 minutes. They followed up a few times when asked, but it didn't come. The restaurant wasn't extremely busy, so the fact that they knew we didn't receive it & it still took 45 minutes to essentially receives noodles/meat was not really acceptable. Nothing was done to rectify the delay (a discount or a freebie would have been nice, seeing as we were in here for nearly 2 hours). It was a good experience & it was cool seeing chifa in Montreal. I'd recommend the food if you haven't been before, but the service does leave something to be desired. I'd otherwise give it a 4 or 5, but the service dropped the review to a 3.

This was our first experience trying any sort of peruvian food & we were very impressed. The cocktail menu contained a selection of predictable Pisco drinks, which we had no problem enjoying! Shoutout to any cocktail with passionfruit. For the food it is a fusion of peruvian & Chinese & we took the bartenders recommendations & tried the ceviche Pato caliente, the lomo saltado (the sauce being the highlight here for sure) & the chaufa especiale (fried rice). This was definitely enough food for the two of us. Overall great service & recommendations. We will definitely be back.

La nourriture est bonne mais le prix ne vaut pas la peine . J'ai pris les crevettes elle étaient 17$ pour 4 crevettes , si tu vas dans un restaurant typiquement asiatique tu peux trouver une plus grosse portion pour un peu moins cher . Le boeuf typiquement péruvien étaient très salé , ça goûter comme un ragoût fait maison avec du soya , le poulet frit était un peu trop salé , ils ont mariné dans du soya & avec une sauce très salé ( asiatique ) tous ce que j'ai mangé sauf le ceviche au saumon ne vaut pas la peine aller plutôt dans un restaurant chinois . Vous allez plus pour votre argent .

The food at this place is just incredible if you like trying fusion cuisine asian/peruvian. The staff is super nice & absolutely passionate I have discovered so many great dishes & drinks from their recommendations. Must try the Pisco Sour 🍹 & the 4 skewers tasting 🍢 as well as the ceviche are my personal favorites. This is really a montreal hidden gem 💎 most restaurant staff from other high end restaurants love to go to this spot to eat & that says a lot. It can be a bit tight & you do need a reservation as it's mostly sold out for the busy nights like Thursday to Sunday.

Cuisine de type tapas. Le chow mein, le lomo saltado & le ceviche au leche de tigre étaient excellents! Le barman est un artiste du cocktail.

The fish of the day was haddock - which is what determines the one ceviche - & it was fresh 🙌. One ceviche? Was not happy with the seating - one table on the patio (maybe those bad locals who no-show?).. & a better space for 3, but we were sat deeper, & 5min later 2 were given the 3.

We had a very fun Saturday evening. We were greeted with warmth & hospitality at Chifa & the service continue to be excellent with our very charming waiter too. Drinks were excellent. (Purple Dragon & El Sensual were our favourites). Food was ok, but we particularly liked the duck dish & the salmon ceviche. The egg roll was very average for the price & the bao bun although good at 17$ for one is a bit absurd. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a fun evening with friends, don't hesitate to book here. You'll be pleased.

Nous avons commandé 4 plats (octopus skewers, combo 4 skewers, shrimps dish, duck ceviche). Aside from the duck ceviche, did not find the food particularly remarkable, especially for the price

We loved our experience at Chifa. We sat at the bar, enjoyed watching one of the chef's prepare ceviche dishes (which we tried of course). We also had the dumplings & a few other dishes. Everything was delicious & beautifully presented. Highly recommended if you are looking for a tasty food with fun atmosphere. & the service was very friendly & responsive. A wonderful evening.

This was my last stop on a week long trip to Montréal & I must say I regret not coming here sooner. The food & drinks were incredible & the staff were so friendly. What originally started out as dinner for 2 turned into 11 & they were more than happy to accommodate us when it came to seating as well as when it came time to split the bill. The ceviche was amazing, the duck was phenomenal & I could go on about everything but I will be eating here again whenever I come back.

Un seul mot suffirait pour décrire les délices de Chifa : SAVEURS! Le Pato Caliente est un plat a faire frémir de joie! La pieuvre, le Causa, Ceviche sont également splendides. Atmosphere, service, & surtout qualité! Mon resto préféré a Montreal.
