La chifa est, pour le chef Larrea, une façon de partager ses souvenirs d’enfance à travers sa propre interprétation de la cuisine sino-péruvienne, proposée au sein de ce restaurant chifa Montréal. Originaire du Pérou, la chifa - pilier de ce restaurant chinois péruvien Montréal - est issue de la rencontre entre les techniques de la cuisine chinoise et les ingrédients traditionnels péruviens. Cette identité culinaire unique s’exprime dans un restaurant fusion Montréal mettant à l’honneur la cuisine nikkei et chifa Montréal, dans une atmosphère familiale, détendue et chaleureuse, idéale pour les repas en famille, les enfants et les moments de 5 à 7, à proximité du Centre Bell, de la Place des Arts, des festivals et du Palais des congrès.

Un super restaurant, mais j'avoue avoir été un peu déçu cette fois-ci. Ce restaurant qui était mon préféré de tous, semble en avoir perdu un peu.
Service: Les serveurs étaient vraiment gentils, mais nous avons pris peine de spécifier que nous voulions les entrées &''repas principaux'' en même temps. Ils sont tes tapas à partager. Nous avons reçu l'entrée en premier. Après 5 min, je demande si le reste arrive bientôt. L'on me dit''oui oui ça s'envient. Certaines choses prennent plus de temps à préparer''. Je sais bien, comme tout restaurant… Finalement les 3 assiettes sont arrivés à 15 min d'intervalle au total. Pas la fin du monde, mais bon. Au moins gardez-les de côté au frais ou au chaud selon l'assiette.. Je me sentais aussi un peu à l'abandon. Le resto n'était pas plein.
Le menu: il est rendu vraiment plus petit. Avant je me perdais dans les choix & devais faire un choix difficile. Maintenant, on me dit''non le menu est comme avant juste plus compressé''. Je demande au sujet de 3 repas que j'aimais & l'on me dit''ah non ceux-là n'y sont plus…'' De plus, il s'agît d'un resto Peruvian fusion asiatique, & il y a 2 plats quebecois. Donc les choix s'y font plus court qu'avant.
Le pourboire: À la fin, le pourboire demandé est de 18%,20%,22%. Je demande poliement pourquoi ils ne montrent pas l'option 15%. Elle semblait toute surprise de ne pas avoir minimum 18%. Rien de méchant, selon-moi 18% se doit d'être un super service. Si c'etait de moi, j'aurais donné 12% car c'était moins que le minimum le service. Mais j'ai tout de même donné 15%!
Service quand même ok.
Les Assiettes: la ceviche je lui donne encore 10/10, le saumon en bouchées avait encore la peau en dessous. Ok pour un saumon entier, mais en bouchées je trouve cela moyen. Bon, je fais mon''difficile''. Pour le riz frit avec poulet. Très bon. Les morceaux de poulets un peu gros & sec comparativement à mon souvenir où il était un délice & où on en voulait d'avantage.
Pour un resto que je mettais dans mes priorités, a un peu baissé de rang. En espérant qu'ils révisent les choix de repas!
J'y retournerais assurément, mais avec moins d'attentes.
We were excited to have some peruvian cuisine getting there but we had the surprise that their cuisine has'a Chinese twist'. Most of the menu is made of Chinese style pork, or fried chicken. They only have two or three fish options on the menu, we choose the starter ceviche (which was really good), the other'ceviche' was made of Chinese style cooked pork. I'm not an expert but it really didn't feel like we were eating a ceviche, it wasn't bad but if we wanted Chinese food we would have walked a few blocks away to China Town & would have paid our dinner for much less. The beef dish we had was ridiculously small & pricey. The quantities are ridiculously small, which is why they encourage you to select 3 to 5 dish for 2 persons to share. (But the price is the same as an average full dish you could get somewhere else). Disappointing. Our server was nice though!
I had a great time at this Peruvian place in Montreal! Honestly, what a gem. The food is made in front of your eyes & the ceviche & tiradito are fresh & full of flavour. All the dishes were fantastic & I found the service to be at a great pace & very friendly. The salmon ceviche was my favourite but honestly you can't ho wrong with any option!

The artistry of the food was amazing, & the vibe of the restaurant hit all the right spots. The food, however, fell a bit flat. The dishes were too heavy on soy sauce (Siu mai dumplings) & the ceviche was to lemony, & the other flavours were overpowered by it. The scallops looked amazing, but once again the taste wasn't as good as the look of it. The dragon fruit drink was delicious, as was the cafecito. I'd definitely come back for the drinks & the vibe, but not necessarily for the food which looks amazing, but tastes only ok.
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!
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.
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!
