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.

A fusion of oriental & Peruvian flavours with top quality ingredients, the best " Chinese" food in Montreal. Fantastic service with dedicated professional staff too

Always a grand time at Chifa. Wonderful team of chefs & waiters. Their original takes on Chinese-Peruvian food are unlike anything else served in town. Unusual ,tasty & fun. The setting is beautiful & inviting. It is my number-one choice to bring guests who love discovering new flavours. See you soon!

Went first with my son last week & then, with my wife. having worked in fine dining for nearly 30 years, I knew full well that Peruvian cuisine is the crown jewel of the Americas. "Peru's cuisine evolved through the fusion of indigenous Peruvian cultures, Spanish colonization, Arab/Moorish influences, the arrival of slaves from Africa, & Japanese & Chinese immigrants". With hundreds of varieties of peppers & a longstanding fish culture , it came as no surprise that everything was delicious. The capital Lima is particularly famous for chifa , a latino-cantonese style that infuses all the influences one can imagine . Both times , the octopus was simply ridiculously amazing, soft, grilled to perfection, sweet, spicy & long lasting tasty. The ceviche latino-chino had fresh halibut , tiger milk & cilantro, refreshingly divine. Wagyu tartare in a cone was subtle & celestial. Causa avocado & shrimp was a textural delight. main corses was (both times) the Lomo saltado (filet mignon in a decidedly Cantonese sauce , brimming with flavour), but the killer dish was the best duck I have ever had (having tried the French, Chinese & the Hungarian versions many times), succulent pieces in a Peking style with a tangy ceviche -like vinaigrette that was on the verge of ridiculous! Try the Pisco sour a cocktail you will remember. This will become a regular stop in our dining calendar. Even the staff remembered me from my previous visit. Absolute pleasure !

Great tapas style Peruvian-Chinese dishes. Sitting at the bar, we ordered anticuchos de pulpo, ceviche chino-latino, lomo saltado, camarones, 2 desserts of picarones & pastel de choclo. Lovely cocktails of pisco sour, maracuyá sour, & La Jalapiña. Great playlist in the background at just the right volume. Great service. Would definitely return!

There are two restaurants in Montreal that are distinctively different than the rest: Chifa & its neighbour, Tiradito, both created by partners chef Marcel Larrea & David Dumay. I highly recommend both. A fun riff on Peruvian-Japanese & Peruvian-Chinese cuisines. Delicious flavours, unusual ingredients, dangerous drinks, staff that will be friends by the time you leave, & an underground bar to end (or begin) the night. Go.
