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.

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!
Every time I visit Montreal I have to go to Chifa! We ordered scallops, steak & 4 kabobs with different meat choices. Unbelievable flavor, hands down the best steak you can get.
Chifa was great! The duck & lobster fries were absolutely delicious-highly recommended. The flavors were spot on, & the dishes were perfectly executed. A wonderful spot for a satisfying meal! -- Chifa était excellent! Le canard & les frites au homard étaient absolument délicieux-je les recommande vivement. Les saveurs étaient parfaites & les plats bien réalisés. Un endroit merveilleux pour un repas savoureux!
Overall, the food was very good. We had the catch if the day ceviche (tilapia), chaufa, & Chow Mein. I spent a considerable amount of time in Peru & have eaten my fair share of cusqueno y Lima based chifa, so expectations were high. The food was pretty delicious. It had a lot of flavor & did herald a lot of the same qualities as local Peruvian chifa. The aji was a solid touch (if you know, you know). Service wise, I was slightly disappointed. We received our first two dishes relatively quickly, but they forgot about our other entre for almost 45 minutes. They followed up a few times when asked, but it didn't come. The restaurant wasn't extremely busy, so the fact that they knew we didn't receive it & it still took 45 minutes to essentially receives noodles/meat was not really acceptable. Nothing was done to rectify the delay (a discount or a freebie would have been nice, seeing as we were in here for nearly 2 hours). It was a good experience & it was cool seeing chifa in Montreal. I'd recommend the food if you haven't been before, but the service does leave something to be desired. I'd otherwise give it a 4 or 5, but the service dropped the review to a 3.
Chifa is a fantastic blend of Chinese & Peruvian flavors! Every dish is unique & full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere & friendly service make it even better. A must-visit for anyone looking to try something different!
Great food great service! Yan ( Jahn?) & Bianca were absolutely wonderful. So fun to watch them prep the food. The flavors in this restaurant are too notch!
The food was very disappointing. I ordered the Chaufa Rice & it simply was not good. The chicken was fried to the point it was supper dry & the rice had that off-putting raw egg flavor. Given the long tradition of Peruvian Chinese food this was really disappointing. The service was also very poor, the type of service where they make you feel they are doing you a favor. If you are eating solo they will not even give you a table inside, you need to eat at the bar. The restaurant looks really nice inside.
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
If you are looking for great food & ambiance. Chifa is exactly the placee you are looking for. The food is delicious with a unique combination of flavors. The ambiance is a mix of relax & hip also comfortable, not at all touristy. The location is on a quieter, more residential street near Old Montreal. The staff are always very friendly, giving terrific plate suggestions & the cocktails are awesome! Definitely try it!
