I'd give 6th stars if there is. Lomo saltado was delicious but a bit small size for the price. I do agree the beef quality is much better than average. Jalea mixta was great too. Mojito was refreshing. Enjoyed a lot!
A delightful fusion of flavors!
This restaurant beautifully blends Peruvian cuisine with subtle Chinese influences, creating a unique & flavorful dining experience. The dishes were well-balanced, rich in taste, & the service was warm & attentive Jeremy was a great host & gave us the right advices.
A must-try for those who enjoy creative culinary twists
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!
Nice Chinese/Peruvian place! With reasonable price & portion was overall generous. I feel like the Peruvian touch was weaker than other restaurants though, they could've had more originality on each dish.
Visiting Montreal for the weekend we were looking for something a bit different from the many delicious bistros etc. Chifa came up.
Close to our hotel we arrived before 9 pm & sat at the bar. The staff were welcoming & informative.
The play list was Cuban, the menu a fusion of Peruvian & Asian.
The empanadas were excellent, the shrimp also very tasty.
The Chi Jau Kaï Chicken was fantastic - served with rice which we paired with the market vegetables.
The Pastel Cholco was deliciously decadent.
The choice of rum made for a difficult decision.
A gem.
J'ai encore renouvelé l'expérience & jamais déçue! Plats exquis à partager, belle proposition d'accord vin, service impeccable & bel ambiance avec une addition assez raisonnable pour la qualité de tout cela!
Belle découverte! Nourriture excellente & personnel super agréable & courtois. Tout était wow! Nous avons mangé au bar devant les plans de travail de deux « artistes » qui préparaient les plats avec une grande minutie, bravo!
This is a pretty good fusion restaurant with some standout dishes.
For appetizers, we ordered the combo anticuchos, daily cones, & ceviche. The combo anticuchos were excellent-$28 for four skewers, & each type of meat was grilled to perfection with great flavor balance. The grilled mushrooms had a slightly sweet taste, which was an interesting touch.
The daily cones, however, were underwhelming. The cones weren't particularly crispy, & we tried all three flavors, but none of them stood out. The octopus one had a strange taste.
The ceviche was absolutely amazing-super fresh, with tender fish & a bright, citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a must-order for next time!
For the main course, we had the Duckitos. It's not a traditional Peking duck, but it came with a sweet & spicy dipping sauce, ginger strips, & pickled radish, all of which complemented the dish beautifully. The only downside was that a few pieces of duck weren't properly deboned, which could be a safety issue.
For dessert, we followed our server's recommendation & got the corn cake. I'm pretty sure it was made fresh to order because we waited at least 10 minutes-but it was worth it. The cake was soft, fragrant, & steaming hot, perfectly paired with ice cream. No one could say no to that.
As for drinks, the Marauchita was the better choice-fruitier & more refreshing overall.
A solid spot with some real highlights. Would definitely come back for the ceviche & corn cake!
I made a reservation for a group of 13. They gave us the big table in the back which was perfect as we got our little space & was able to put our personal belongings on the side. Jeremy was our waiter, fantastic job, he was patient with us. The food was delicious!
