They have it all, and its all delicious. Lomo saltado, Pollo a la Brasa, bisteak a lo pobre, and sometimes papa rellena. Since my husband is from Peru we have searched the tri-state area for a nice, clean Peruvian restaurant and this is the best. This is not a fast food restaurant, so you will wait the normal amount of time as you would in any table service restaurant. Trust us, if we travel an hour and fifteen minutes to get there you know it is worth it! If you have never had Peruvian before, it is great and not scary! Not too spicy if you dont want it to be; influenced by Spanish, Chinese, and italian with unique Peruvian spices. My only minor complaint would be that I prefer a spicier yellow sauce with the chicken to the one served here. I have found the best around to be served at Balconcito II in Philadelphia. But for everything else this place rocks!

The food here is AMAZING. I had a craving for it last night so my friend and I drove there for a quick bite around 730. We walked in at about 745 and sat down at a table anxiously waiting a delicious dinner only for the server to come over and tell us that they were only doing take out because they closed at 8. I was extremely angry but we left anyway. About 30 seconds after we left a party of 8 walked in and they let them sit down and eat! Needless to say I was infuriated but I just left anyway not wanting to cause a scene. It really just put a bad taste in my mouth. Ill go back eventually for the ceviche but not anytime too soon...

DELICIOUS!!! You have to get their signature dish, Lomo Saltado. Their combination of authentic spices will leave your mouth watering for more. I go here with my Peruvian friends who have been to Peru, and they say this food tastes just like home for them. You know a place is good when the locals choose to eat there for their own hometown comfort food. We had a party here, and the waitstaff were impressive! They spoke English AND Spanish there, amazing! The food and service were great!

Immediately added to our list of regulars, and probably bumped to the top. Got whole chicken dinner $16 with rice and salad, side of plantains $4, fed family of 4 (2 small kids loved it). Salad was iceberg but the avocado dressing was great. The garlic dressing for the chicken rocked, and lets not forget the chicken itself. Tender and delicious. Total bill $26.20. One tip, get the chicken wings off the chicken, its the best part of a really good thing.

Fantastic food, good portions and complex flavors. We were surprised of how good it was. We order Chicken and rice and a seafood soup. Prices were just right for the portions and the quality. The staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. The restaurant is clean and family oriented. The bar was small, but with food this good, who cares. You go there to eat, no to drink.

The food is amazing, but the service is subpar. Its one of those "seat yourself" places which means you often get to sit and watch people who came in after you get served before you. Theres always a wait to have your order taken and a wait for the sever to come back as you finish your meal. If youve got a lot of time to kill, the food is worth it.

If youre looking for a Latin cuisine fix then Chicken House is the way to go to try something different since there is a lack of choices around the area and Mexican is usually the go to. Peruvian cuisine serves one of the tastiest and flavorful dishes available. The Lomo Saltado with a mango nectar drink is my fave.

Absolutely the worst customer service every single time we go. If the food wasnt so good we probably wouldnt have returned after the first time. Today was the final straw, after I looked down at the end of my meal and had been drinking from a filthy cup and the waitress gave every reason why I was wrong.

Weve been going to the chicken house for two years and its been great until the last 6 months. Out of no where on numerous occasions weve Encountered discriminative and rude table service, takeout orders being wrong and over all food quality has been hit and miss. Just not as good as it once was.

No tienen muchas opciones para vegetarianos. El arroz con vegetales que pedí estaba muy grasoso. No volveré a pedir eso.

This restaurant is located in a small strip mall. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken kabob with yellow rice. My husband got the chicken and steak fried rice. The meat was seasoned well and was moist. The chicken wings and spicy sauce were also a great appetizer. Good prices.

Went here for lunch yesterday and had the Pechuga a LA Chorrillana, great taste and price for the amount of food. It had a little spice and all food comes with sauces on the side. Wait staff was very helpful.

Food was just okay. The yellow rice had good flavor but the chicken was dry and the platano maduro was not quite ripe enough. Ill have to save my peruvian food cravings for Pio Pio in NY.

The food and service were excellent. The portions were huge. Great value for the money. Will take visitors there. Not the same old chain stuff. Nice that it is different.

Whatever that yellow sauce was, it was great and complimented the fried rice. Their calamari was pretty bland, but everything else was nice. Service was 10/10.

Wonderful sauces. Theres drops in trails leading from the appetizer plate (yucca ala huancaina) because we are munching it with our entrees.
