“Improved, refreshed, much better !!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2013

It's being a while since my last visit. Yes, it was remodeled and the menu was slightly changed but some dishes were still the same somehow....

“Great tasting Peruvian-Asian food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2008

This is one unique restaurant. Owners are Chinese-Peruvians and the cooking has a wonderful blend of Asian-Peruvian...quite unique and hard to describe. I salivate just thinking of the food. The portions are HUGE! My favorite is Pescado Alo Macho (I think that's what it's called)...
