Food is amazing; the flavor is very strong & distinctive. Ceviche, skewers, & pastel choclo (dessert) are the highlights of our meal. Peruvian x Chinese is such an impressive combo. Service & ambiance are great. It's definitely worth a try.
Nous avons très bien mangés & goûter a une dizaine de leur plat qu'on a partager a 3. De bons petits cocktails. Ça nous a coûter beaucoup d'argent mais les plats était très bon … belle ambiance & bon service avec les serveurs !
Great atmosphere but prohibitive prices for ridiculously small portions, food was rather average. Also, question mark on the hygiene of preparation as I saw the employee preparing the daily cones (raw meat & fish) with her bare hands with no gloves nor protection, something I do not see even in Mc Donald restaurants.. Huge disappointment, I will never return.
The only negative about my experience at Chifa was that I was enjoying the food so much, I forgot to take pictures of most of it! We reserved for 20 people for a surprise party, & they accommodated us perfectly in a private section. It was exactly what we needed, & the whole setup felt seamless.
Now, let's talk about the food-it was absolutely delicious. Every single dish was on point. We went with the formula option, which allowed us to try a bit of everything. In total, we had around seven different dishes, & every single one was fresh, perfectly seasoned, & bursting with flavor. Honestly, I can't even pick a favorite because they were all so good, but if I *had* to, the fried chicken was a standout (my personal'coup de coeur'). The mushroom skewers were unbelievable, & the ceviche with its sauce was next level.
The service was also amazing-friendly, fast, & super attentive, even with such a large group. The food came out quickly, & the staff made sure everything was running smoothly. From start to finish, it was an amazing experience.
If you're looking for a spot with incredible food & great service, Chifa is a no-brainer. 5 stars, hands down. I'll definitely be back!
The atmosphere & service were great but the chicha was a bit watered down & the 2nd menu item was not very good way too salty the sauce for a chicken dish, The chicken without the sauce would've been good but overall small portions for the price. I'll come back to try another menu item next time.
