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.
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!

Tried CHIFA
big disappointment. None of the dishes had any real flavor. I really wanted to like it, but the octopus was the worst I've ever had in my entire life.
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
Delicious!! My friends & I took a variety of appetizers & main dish, we taste a bit of everything & it was incredible! The customer service was amazing as well !!
Excellent quality of food & care for details from the young dynamic chefs, however way too pricey for the size of the dishes.
Maybe ok for downtown office folk, but for glob-trotter foodies super familiar with Mtl gastronomic scene, it's a stretch on the budget...we'll return one of those nights when we go see a show at PdA...
L'endroit est très cool. La cuisine est ouverte & la nourriture est délicieuse. Il y a un happy hour avec des offres très intéressantes! Le serveur Jeremy s'est très bien occupé de nous & il a résolu tous nos problèmes !
