Amaze your palate with Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, known as ‘Chifa’. Birthed in the 1800s when Chinese immigrants incorporated Peru’s culinary heritage, it’s now a celebrated part of the nation’s identity. Savour it at Singapore’s first Chifa restaurant through Peruvian native Chef Ruben Rodrigo Serrano Cabrera’s creations, which are made using a curation of produce from his motherland.

I had such a wonderful dining experience at your restaurant! The atmosphere was both elegant and welcoming, and every dish was beautifully prepared with such care and attention to detail. A special shout-out to the staff Artemis – they were warm, professional, and really made the whole experience feel extra special. It’s clear that your team takes great pride in what they do, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back for another amazing meal

Very vibey with neon lightings at the bar counter, enjoyed the service provided by bartender Conrad, very friendly and attentive! Ordered some small bites and food exceeded expectations for the price paid. Worth for a revisit!

FINNS is definitely "the Beach Club" to go to and be seen!
The music is pumping strong the moment you arrive and no matter where you go, from the restaurant to the pool and outside areas, it is loud and upbeat. Through in some live vocals and drums, and the party mood is ever-present and never ending!
When it came to food, we ordered a huge selection of sushi rolls and sashimi (one of which came with a disclaimer...."Don't Linger, Enjoy Me Fresh...please eat me within 10 minutes."). They really tasted great, though I have to say, by nightfall something made me run for the toilet....a lot! I have never had Bali belly in all the years I have been there, but this was not fun. It could not have been the ice, as I only drank Bintang.
Apart from that, FINNS is still a hugely fun Beach Club, though a little too overcrowded at times. I loved the mini shows with the elegant girls, drummer boys, dancers, roller skaters and the people with glitter ball heads! Many of the guests were in the mood to dance and strut their stuff, whilst others just chilled on loungers by the pool.
Sadly the weather was not perfect, otherwise it would been a lot more of a hit day.
One other thing...FINNS has a free bus service which does a circuit around the area, which is brilliant. It comes around every 20 minutes and was perfect. Stop 7 was really close to our villa!

We were here for both lunch and dinner on three separate days this week. Not only did we love the food, and the special gluten free, nut free, dairy free and egg free mini menu especially for our dearest daughter with advanced knowledge, Po Li and Akira Young the Chef made special effort and made our visits special and feeling like home.
Thank you so much for making our days that very much more special ❤

Have been to many famed and fazed restaurants but my dinner here was a unforgettable one that I will treasure. Not just for the great food but also the amazing dining experience. The manager Shaun is very knowledgeable about the food and shared with us amazing insights about the cuisine and thoughtful deco that went behind the place. Ordered the dim sum, chimichurri soup and Kong pao pollo, wok fried seafood and sipan purple dumpling. All are delicious and sincere dishes. Spent ur evening there to while your time with great service staff and company if you are in sentosa.

I had an amazing birthday dinner experience at Chita. The food was incredible, with each dish bursting with flavor and freshness. Love the crispy roast pork. The ambiance was truly unique and stylish, with a vibrant Peruvian-Chinese fusion theme that added to the excitement of our evening.
But what really made our night special was our server, Amiel. He went above and beyond to introduce us to the menu, explaining each dish and its ingredients with passion and knowledge. His attentive service and warm hospitality made us feel truly celebrated on my special day. He also served us a complimentary mango cake dessert to celebrate my birthday
Overall, I highly recommend Chita for a memorable dining experience. The combination of great food, stylish ambiance, and exceptional service makes it a standout choice for any occasion. Thank you, Amiel and team, for making my birthday dinner so unforgettable!"

I recently visited this restaurant for the second time, and once again, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was delicious, the mocktails we tried are very refreshing and the ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear that this place consistently delivers great service, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon.

A memorable experience of food exploration with great ambience for a wonderful childhood gathering. Every item in the menu that we are interested in will be throughly explained on the ingredients, how it was made and how it would taste like. If you can’t decide due to the massive choices, they will gladly recommend to you especially Shaun who attended to us. He was so knowledgeable in each and every item in the menu that we couldn’t resist to keep on ordering to try their fantastic range. Definitely will be back again to have the rest of the item that we wanted to try but couldn’t fit in our tummy anymore! Thank you Shaun and team for making our childhood gathering a memorable one as we had not been seeing each other at least for the past 5-6 years.

We had an excellent time at Chifa! Our waiter Alex was attentive and made us feel welcome. The food is great, good portions and reasonably priced for a tourist hotspot like Sentosa. It was my wife's birthday and they gave us a tart cake. Would be back here again.

I was bowled over by how good Chifa was...something I really wanted and needed to happen!
I had done the Kwe Tao and noodle overload from the hawker markets inside Universal Studios (which were great too) and I just wanted something different, challenging and exciting. Less Asian. More fusion and tantalising. And let me tell you this. Chifa was a home run smacked out of the park and into the ocean!
With great authority I rate Chifa as possibly the best find and meal I had in Singapore. When you score on presentation, cocktails, vibe, food and service, then a big smile is dished out to all: staff and punters alike. I go out of my way to experience great food as a professional on many levels (media/cooking/chance) and guess what, I am still glowing about my one experience then.
Chifa deserves lines around the block.

Chita! is one of the places you will remember long after visiting and wishing it was in your home country so you would visit without a plane ride. The service by Conrad was absolutely phenomenal, he was attentive and made us feel so welcome. The venue itself was fun and creative bringing Chinese and Peruvian cultures together that left you looking around and pointing at all the unique features. The food itself was incredible and by far the best meal we had in Singapore. Every dish was delicious and it was hard to pick a favourite by the end of the night. Could not recommend this place more! Will be telling everyone back home to check it out if they are ever in Sentosa.

We dined at this restaurant for the first time and were impressed by the unique blend of Chinese cuisine with a Peruvian twist. Our server, Amiel, played a crucial role in enhancing our experience. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to introduce us to the background of the Peruvian-Chinese fusion and offered excellent recommendations. We'll definitely be returning!
