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.

Went here for dinner & drinks. The service is super nice here & especially if you live in BRIX because you get a small discount. The ambiance is really nice & it feels like a date night place. Highly recommend to make a reservation beforehand as table seats go by quickly. Overall would highly recommend!
un mélange de saveurs originales mais incroyablement bien fait ! si vous avez envie de découvrir une cuisine mi péruvienne mi chinoise, c'est ici !🩷
nous avons pris 3 plats à partager à deux & c'était largement suffisant. je vous recommande les brochettes de pieuvres, les calamars frits & le général bao !! je vous recommande aussi les cocktails délicieux.
l'équipe était aussi incroyable, bien informée sur leur plat, très respectueux !
This place is a must! Came here a few months back, we ordered a few dishes, I didn't find the daily cones to be worth it, they were a bit overpriced & really not filling or overly tasty. HOWEVER, we ordered two other dishes & if we could, we would have licked the plates clean. They were absolutely fantastic, I really truly recommend this place to anyone
C'est pas la première fois que nous venons & nous sommes toujours aussi surpris par la qualité de la cuisine & du service. Nous recommandons chaleureusement ce restaurant aux amis. La seule bémol la musique un peu forte. Hier j'ai fêté mes 70 ans en famille ce doit être une question d'âge. Bonne continuation.
Chifa was great! The duck & lobster fries were absolutely delicious-highly recommended. The flavors were spot on, & the dishes were perfectly executed. A wonderful spot for a satisfying meal! -- Chifa était excellent! Le canard & les frites au homard étaient absolument délicieux-je les recommande vivement. Les saveurs étaient parfaites & les plats bien réalisés. Un endroit merveilleux pour un repas savoureux!
Food is always tasty... I sat in the rear for the first time. I wouldn't recommend unless you're with a party. You're extremely secluded, at least that's the feeling. Service was slow IMO. I ordered the Jalea Mixta. The most expensive on menu but it was mainly fries(lots of fries). Two or three pieces shrimp, 2 small pieces of octopus & thee smallest lobster I've seen. I was not expecting that. Next time... I'll stick to the Loma Saltado. It's tasty. The ceviche (any... duck included) is awesome. It wasn't the best experience I've had there, but it's still one of the finest in downtown IMO.
Great place with a nice atmosphere. The food tastes amazing, but I don't recommend the rice that came with the Lomo Saltado, it was dry & more on the hard side. We also ordered a Kamlu Wonton & a Salmon Tiradito, they were both amazing (especially the tiradito)
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.
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!
Excellente ambiance, nourriture succulente, cocktail délicieux & barmaid exceptionnelle. Je recommande, parfait pour un 5@7 entre amis, ou même un souper romantique !
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.
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!
