Walked by this vibing Peruvian fusion resto & thought I should give it a taste. I started off with the : -Chicha morada cocktail: Purple corn syrup, lime juice, soda. Punchy tartness that's pretty to look at. A touch of soda so it's not overwhelmingly fizzy. A good upgrade on a fizzy lemonade -Sui Mai : doused in a soy chili sauce with green onions this salty pleasure did not disappoint. I halved the sui mai to sop up the delicious salty sauce & buried those flavorful wonders in my mouth. Full of shrimp & pork- they were flavorful even without that salty soy goodness. -Fritti calamari: oh man. I don't even know what to say. So light yet crunchy & moist. Cooked to perfection. Didn't even need the sesame tahini garlic tasting sauce- although that sauce. I would have slathered that all over a shawarma..... if I was eating a shawarma. I ended up eating both items individually as they were sooo good. Also good together but I felt that eating the calamari separately from the sauce I could really enjoy the individual flavors & savour all it had to offer. But as hubby says to me all the time "you gotta eat it when it's hot". It looses a bit of its crunchy texture as it cools down. - Wonton soup: was an order put through because I was feeling a bit under the weather. Pretty bland to be frank, even when I added the remnants of my sui mai soy sauce. The two wontons were a bit too big with the the filling minimal compared to the noodle wrapping. Would not order this one again. Overall I'd come back to try some of the peruvian dishes
Very nice experience! Cocktails are so original & delicious, the food is to die for & we tried almost everything on the menu, the ambiance is fantastic (the music playlist is so good) & the price is very reasonable! The sauces in each meal where so delicious & we would have licked the plate. Honnestly it was overall delicious & a fun night! Will come back.
Superbe expérience 4 étoiles +.Ambiance & service chaleureux! N'hésitez pas à questionner pour découvrir les belles spécialités.Un vrai voyage culinaire, chaque plat est une petite merveille à découvrir ! Nous allons y retourner pour sûr 🙂 Un beau plus : les cocktails,mais surtout les Moktails, délicieux
Wow! Super resto! Nourriture variée, en général on a tout aimé surtout fruits de mer. Le boeuf était décevant. Super cocktails, bon vin pas ridiculement cher, musique géniale. Les banquettes face au bar donnent de l'intimité que la salle du fond ne permettrait pas
If you are looking for great food & ambiance. Chifa is exactly the placee you are looking for. The food is delicious with a unique combination of flavors. The ambiance is a mix of relax & hip also comfortable, not at all touristy. The location is on a quieter, more residential street near Old Montreal. The staff are always very friendly, giving terrific plate suggestions & the cocktails are awesome! Definitely try it!
La nourriture est totalement délicieuse, mais c'est dommage car le service laisse à désirer. C'est la troisième fois que nous venons & les trois fois le service était très inégal (voir inexistant). On commande des cocktails à notre arrivé, on ne les reçoit jamais (ou après la nourriture, quand on les redemande... alors qu'on voit la serveuse jaser avec des amis au bar), on oublie des items de la commande, on ne revient pas nous voir lorsque les verres sont vides (autant boisson de eau). On finit par nous demander si on veut autre chose quand on a le manteau sur le dos, sur notre départ. Malheureusement ça aura probablement été notre dernière fois. De nos jours, on va prioriser les établissements qui prennent un peu plus soin de leurs clients...
We had a lovely time at Chifa. Food & drinks were superb. I had two pisco drinks & my partner had an excellent gin cocktail. We tried the General Bao appetizer. It was the best version of that I've ever had. We were delighted by the other entrees. In particular their take in the fried chicken was imaginative & well executed. A great find!
Bon restaurant. Je conseille d'essayer plusieurs plats. Nous avons pris 5 plats & tous étaient délicieux. L'inspiration chinoise est facilement identifiable dans les assiettes. J'ai essayé de nouvelles choses. Les cocktails sont très bien aussi. J'ai pris un pisco sour.
