Having eaten in Peru I can say these don't seem to be traditional Peruvian cuisine, the Jalea for example is usually served with plantains but came with seasoned French fries. the food is good but comes in small portions, you will need to eat around 2 or 3 main courses to be satisfied. The decor & ambiance though is incredible
Sonia

Brian
Nice place & really good food - nice fusion of eastern & Peruvian!! I recommend it to you

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.

Chifa is a fantastic blend of Chinese & Peruvian flavors! Every dish is unique & full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere & friendly service make it even better. A must-visit for anyone looking to try something different!

The problem with some "tapas" style restaurants in Montreal is that they charge you 15$+ plus for a small tapa plate, unfortunately. The concept of tapas is small cheap plates to be accompanied by drinks, so this way we can really share & taste different things. Not full plate price. They took several minutes to bring one of our friends tapa, just because we wouldn't share as they "advise". Food is good tho, not the best Peruvian in town, but still good. The ambiance is also nice!

Great spot for Peruvian food! Enjoyed the dinner & drinks.....will definitely go back to try some of the other dishes.

My date said this was her favourite restaurant - in faith in her tastes I obliged. Peruvian-Chinese fusion is not run-off-the-mill cuisine, & Chifa does a fine job at executing this niche of fusion. My experience with other fusion restaurants is that the dishes tend to lean towards one side with only a touch of the other cuisine that it is supposed to be a fusion with. Chifa's dishes are perfectly balanced between Peruvian & Chinese, creating a wholly new experience. The octopus skewers were delectable. Really enjoyed the beef dish as well. The friend chicken comes in 3rd place but was still very enjoyable. Expert chefs at this place creating some impressive dishes. The atmosphere of this place is nice too, they did a good job at using the space. The bathroom is a bit of an adventure to get to but a minor detail. Prices are reasonable for this level of dining.

One of the best Peruvian & Chinese fusion food in dt definitely worth trying. Although their food is generally a bit salty
Alban
Food is 11/10, absolutely incredible & tasty. Portions are well sized, & everything we had was so delicious. Service was impeccable. The restaurant is a bit noisy & loud inside so it's hard to maintain a conversation but they have a nice terrace outside. Overall highly recommend Chifa for delicious Peruvian fusion cuisine!
Alex
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.
Eric
This is worth the stop when in the area. The service was in point & the food was excellent. Fusion Peruvian tapas that were honestly so delicious.
Anthony
It's more like chinese food fusion with Peruvian palate. There's strong wok hei in the fried rice! Impressive with the cook. Setting is great for table of 4, squeeze a bit for cosy cosy 6 😁. Service staff can be a bit hard to gather their attention. Drinks & food came out wrong. Maybe it's a one off. Will visit again to confirm.

Most of the food was barely good...we did not enjoy the scallops. I am the only one who had the chowmein & got food poisoning. Pork was very pink. Only thing I can recommend is the jalea, but for that price you can get more & yummier somewhere else. We were a group of 4 & all Peruvian... this did not taste like Peruvian chifa to us. I unfortunately do not recommend. Save your money.
Colleen
Delicious! Tastes very close to the Peruvian Chifa. The difference is the presentation, since this is tapas style. It was a delightful dining experience. Recommended!
Andrés
Small restaurant with pretty decent Peruvian food . It doesn't have a wow factor & the seating arrangement is almost diner style / bar which isn't always ideal.
Gypsy
The food was very disappointing. I ordered the Chaufa Rice & it simply was not good. The chicken was fried to the point it was supper dry & the rice had that off-putting raw egg flavor. Given the long tradition of Peruvian Chinese food this was really disappointing. The service was also very poor, the type of service where they make you feel they are doing you a favor. If you are eating solo they will not even give you a table inside, you need to eat at the bar. The restaurant looks really nice inside.
Claire
The food was amazing! Best Peruvian restaurant I've been to yet. It's a small place & is often busy so if you can make a reservation before going so you won't have to wait in line. The atmosphere makes it perfect for a night out with friends or for a date night. The service was excellent everyone was super nice & friendly.
Tiffany
A must try- highly recommended spot for great quality tapas of Chinese-Peruvian fusion food. Amazing service, the staff was very friendly! Thank you to the manager, for the special attention! The drinks were great, but the maracuya sour was perfect! Best quality all around! Thank you for a great experience! Definitely coming back soon! 👌🏼
