My date said this was her favourite restaurant - in faith in her tastes I obliged. Peruvian-Chinese fusion is not run-off-the-mill cuisine, & Chifa does a fine job at executing this niche of fusion. My experience with other fusion restaurants is that the dishes tend to lean towards one side with only a touch of the other cuisine that it is supposed to be a fusion with. Chifa's dishes are perfectly balanced between Peruvian & Chinese, creating a wholly new experience. The octopus skewers were delectable. Really enjoyed the beef dish as well. The friend chicken comes in 3rd place but was still very enjoyable. Expert chefs at this place creating some impressive dishes. The atmosphere of this place is nice too, they did a good job at using the space. The bathroom is a bit of an adventure to get to but a minor detail. Prices are reasonable for this level of dining.

The food at this place is just incredible if you like trying fusion cuisine asian/peruvian. The staff is super nice & absolutely passionate I have discovered so many great dishes & drinks from their recommendations. Must try the Pisco Sour 🍹 & the 4 skewers tasting 🍢 as well as the ceviche are my personal favorites. This is really a montreal hidden gem 💎 most restaurant staff from other high end restaurants love to go to this spot to eat & that says a lot. It can be a bit tight & you do need a reservation as it's mostly sold out for the busy nights like Thursday to Sunday.

Charming atmosphere & great location. The anticuchos de pulpo (octopus) were the highlight of the menu (the sauce was exquisite!)! Other dishes varied from good to okay, & drinks were a bit disappointing-I don't think they used pisco in the "pisco sour" (perhaps Brandi?). The picarones came out undercooked inside, hopefully just a bad batch.

Delicious restaurant with dishes that are tapas size & the esthetic of their presentation is so beautiful that it enhances the taste. We sat in the terrace which is on the road, but in a summer day, it is better than locked in side the restaurant.

Walked by this vibing Peruvian fusion resto & thought I should give it a taste. I started off with the : -Chicha morada cocktail: Purple corn syrup, lime juice, soda. Punchy tartness that's pretty to look at. A touch of soda so it's not overwhelmingly fizzy. A good upgrade on a fizzy lemonade -Sui Mai : doused in a soy chili sauce with green onions this salty pleasure did not disappoint. I halved the sui mai to sop up the delicious salty sauce & buried those flavorful wonders in my mouth. Full of shrimp & pork- they were flavorful even without that salty soy goodness. -Fritti calamari: oh man. I don't even know what to say. So light yet crunchy & moist. Cooked to perfection. Didn't even need the sesame tahini garlic tasting sauce- although that sauce. I would have slathered that all over a shawarma..... if I was eating a shawarma. I ended up eating both items individually as they were sooo good. Also good together but I felt that eating the calamari separately from the sauce I could really enjoy the individual flavors & savour all it had to offer. But as hubby says to me all the time "you gotta eat it when it's hot". It looses a bit of its crunchy texture as it cools down. - Wonton soup: was an order put through because I was feeling a bit under the weather. Pretty bland to be frank, even when I added the remnants of my sui mai soy sauce. The two wontons were a bit too big with the the filling minimal compared to the noodle wrapping. Would not order this one again. Overall I'd come back to try some of the peruvian dishes

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.

I would have preferred if the 10 dishes we ordered were more spread out in the service. I asked the waiter should I just order a couple now & some later - & he said I'll make sure that they come slowly. It didn't I had to tell the person bringing the plates to please put a hold on the food so we can enjoy our experience & stay longer.

I was hoping to find some unique flavors on a visit to Montreal for work, this was it 😍. Amazing food, great dishes for sharing 😋 small tables perfect for four & great drinks menu (we were drinking mocktails & happy to have some delicious choices) 😁💛

We flew in late from out of town. We were tired & hungry. We stumbled into Chifa & it was one of the best dinning experiences ever. The food is out of this world amazing. The staff was friendly & very welcoming. I can’t emphasize enough how incredibly amazing the food was. We ordered several dishes, & all were perfection! We are going back for dinner to try more of their amazing menu.
