I’d give 6th stars if there is. Lomo saltado was delicious but a bit small size for the price. I do agree the beef quality is much better than average. Jalea mixta was great too. Mojito was refreshing. Enjoyed a lot!

Went here for dinner and drinks. The service is super nice here and especially if you live in BRIX because you get a small discount. The ambiance is really nice and it feels like a date night place. Highly recommend to make a reservation beforehand as table seats go by quickly. Overall would highly recommend!

I had a great time at this Peruvian place in Montreal! Honestly, what a gem. The food is made in front of your eyes and the ceviche and tiradito are fresh and full of flavour. All the dishes were fantastic and I found the service to be at a great pace and very friendly. The salmon ceviche was my favourite but honestly you can’t ho wrong with any option!

This place is a must! Came here a few months back, we ordered a few dishes, I didn't find the daily cones to be worth it, they were a bit overpriced and really not filling or overly tasty. HOWEVER, we ordered two other dishes and if we could, we would have licked the plates clean. They were absolutely fantastic, I really truly recommend this place to anyone

Genuinely incredible find. I had the Purple Dragon cocktail (9.5/10), the chicken and pineapple sauce dish (9/10), and the corn cake dessert (100000000/10). Some of the best food I’ve ever had, and for dirt cheap. Can’t recommend anything better. Staff was incredibly nice and the seat from the bar was fun and atmospheric. The bartender with arm tattoos and the waitress were both kind and personable, and made some incredible recommendations. The waitress made a recommendation for a drink that ended up not being to my friends taste, and she was quick to offer a replacement on the house. Please stop by if you’re in the area.

Food is amazing; the flavor is very strong and distinctive. Ceviche, skewers, and pastel choclo (dessert) are the highlights of our meal. Peruvian x Chinese is such an impressive combo. Service and 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, and they accommodated us perfectly in a private section. It was exactly what we needed, and 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, and every single one was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and 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, and the ceviche with its sauce was next level. The service was also amazing—friendly, fast, and super attentive, even with such a large group. The food came out quickly, and 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 and great service, Chifa is a no-brainer. 5 stars, hands down. I’ll definitely be back!
