Chifa is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to not just in Montreal, but anywhere. The menu offers an impressive array of dishes & cocktails, each bursting with distinctive flavors that showcase remarkable culinary craftsmanship. The restaurant strikes the perfect balance with its effortlessly trendy atmosphere-sophisticated yet approachable, never trying too hard to impress.
What truly elevates the experience is the open kitchen concept, where you can watch work their magic on each dish.
I have been here three times so far & plan on coming back every time I am in town. 10/10 highly recommend.

This restaurant was highly recommended by a good friend who frequently travels to Montreal & did not disappoint. The vibe & acoustics are both great. It was very chic & busy, but not overly loud. The service was excellent & we asked our 2 servers what their best dishes were (which they both enthusiastically recommended some different things) & we ordered what they suggested. We started off with 2 signature cocktails which both excellent. For dinner we had the Empanas, Ceviche, Beef with rice & fries & Chow Mein. We had the pudding with ice cream for dessert which was also interesting. All dishes were inventive, tasty & beautiful. The only minor complaint was the dishes were a little small & averaged around $25/dish so for two people you will want to order 4-5 dishes if you are hungry.

Did not know what Peru/ Chinese fusion was & what a delight! Wonderfully flavorful & visually a treat. Will recommend & definitely return.

J'adore la musique latina qui y passe. Très bonne ambiance. Service chaleureux & bouffe qui vous fait voyager entre la Chine & le Pérou. Je recommande les brochettes de pieuvre, délicieuses. Tout comme leur ceviche de tilapia.

Super chill place honestly with a nice ambiance. The service & staff were amazing, loved the service 😌.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the food was a little too salty for me & all the people on lmy table said the same.
Love their little decor & food selection too. We tasted quite a few dishes that we split to try as many as we could & all were very delicious minus the saltiness.
I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're like a small group, or on a date, you won't be disappointed.

Super découverte !
C'était une première pour nous & nous reviendrons. Les plats étaient excellent & généreux. Je recommande le plat avec le Lomos & sa superbe sauce 🤤

La nourriture très ordinaire: les dumplings pas bons du tout, le riz Chaufa aussi rien d'spécial d'ailleurs c'était un riz avec sauce soya & le plus décevant le lomo saltado: trop salé, la viande était pas tendre & les frites industrielles pleines de gras
Définitivement pas recommandé pour manger; l'ambiance très bien & le service impeccable!

Marielle est la serveuse incontournable de Montréal ! Grâce à son incroyable goût & ses recommandations parfaites, j'ai découvert un plat exceptionnel. L'ambiance unique de ce restaurant péruvien & chinois en fait le nouveau joyau caché de la ville. Montréal doit goûter à cette expérience dès maintenant !

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.
Taylor
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.

Louison
Excellent resto péruvien. Nourriture excellente, très belle présentation & ingrédients frais. Assie au comptoir on voit la préparation & c est cuisiné devant nous. Extrêmement propre 5*.
Les serveurs & cuisiniers sont super. Souriant, belles explications & ce sont des passionnés. L'entrée 4 brochettes sublime. Boeuf tomates wow. Assiette fruit de mer très bon mais c est frit & sur frites. Je regrette pas de l avoir essayé, mais j ai vu plusieurs plats préparés devant nous & la prochaine je y aller plus avec canard. Le resto est petit & seulement 6 tables banquettes qui sont pour les groupe de 3 ou 4. Sinon c est face à la fenêtre ou face aux cuisiniers que je recommande. Drinks très bon. Serveurs & cuisiniers 5*. C est un concept qui on partage les plats si on le désire & wow on goûte bcp de choses.
