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

It's ok.. I don't know why the food is spicy. They use way too many sauces on their plates. Not the best food... there are way better places you can go to. Save yourselves 145$ for 2 drinks & 3 appetizers. Also service needs major improvement. Our expectations were much higher, we left disappointed.
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!

Interesting mix of Peruvian/Chinese food. The food was fine, but if you compare it to Chinese food that some of the dishes are trying to emulate, it falls flat. The flavours felt unbalanced & some meat dishes were on the dryer side. Otherwise, as fun hybrid dishes that are experimenting, the food is just okay. The staff was very friendly, service was good, & the ambiance & decor inside was nice.
dined in with the kids. adventurous eating for ours. (no chicken tenders on the menu.) tapas style, Cantonese + Peruvian. loved the scallops & pineapple chicken. also had shrimp, steamed fish, skewers, shu mai, & ceviche. everything tasty!
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...

I would have preferred if the 10 dishes we ordered were more spread out in the service. I asked the waiter should I just order a couple now & some later - & he said I'll make sure that they come slowly. It didn't I had to tell the person bringing the plates to please put a hold on the food so we can enjoy our experience & stay longer.
I know it was tapas, but some portions were just too small given the price. For example, a $15 single taco. Also, the food wasn't served in shareable form. Needed knives, spoons & other utensils to serve the shareables, but we never got the utensils. Food was delicious & I'd go back, but I'd be more demanding.

Une très belle découverte! Nous avons mangé au comptoir. Nous avons pu observer le travail d'une équipe professionnelle & bien rodée. Nourriture, service & ambiance: tout était excellent! Fusion péruvienne- asiatique très réussie. Une adresse à retenir. Nous y retournerons.
