“ I don't know what's about this place but I keep coming back. It can be 95 degrees and the Peruvian jitney drivers come here and order wonton soup. My usual is still the lomo or the fried rice. If im really hungry or with friends I'd order the fried wontons too. If I feel fancy I'd order the fried fish with sweet sour sauce. Cash only. Bathroom so-so. ”
“ Good spot if you're ever craving some Chifa (fusion of Chinese and Peruvian food). I stick to the same dishes here which are the lomo saltado, arroz chaufa, and their wonton soup. You can't really go wrong with these. They give you a lot of food that will definitely fill you up and probably leave you with leftovers. On a separate note, my sister decided to venture out and order their fried chicken today and did not like it. The chicken was dry, lacked some seasoning, and the breading was disappointing. So I'd recommend avoiding the fried chicken. Other than that, I've never had an issue here. There's plenty of seating inside and I think it might be cash only. Also, keep in mind the location isn't the best and the area can look a bit sketchy if you're not from the area. ”
“ Their chaufa rice is awesome!!! Not greasy, just right and the chunks of meat are so good. Even when you reheat the food it tastes homemade. They have a waitress that brings the food to your table. They serve authentic Chifa cuisine, I recommend you to try those menu items. ”
