Horrible service . Got there at 930 pm on a Saturday night ( open sign was already turned off at that time) and my husband asked for boneless chicken and was told well make but to go only because it takes a while and we order my son a kids meal and the lady asked do you want this now because we have that chicken type of chicken ready so we said yes our son was hungry so why not get him started with his food while my husbands was being made . So we waited and we didnt get his food instead she asked if we could pay because she had to count the money to close . Another client came in asked for 2 chickens and they said something among each other in Spanish and then the lady came to tell her we only have one because its late already, I be worked before for a restaurant and it doesnt matter if I client comes in a minute before they close you serve that client even if the kitchen is all clean and everyone is ready to go home it doesnt matter you will take care of that client but of course Spanish people always act unprofessional . Im Hispanic my self but it sucks that always Hispanics people dont handle things properly . After all we walked out of the restaurant at 945 pm with still plenty of time to eat there and still customers eating there but we were told that our order had to be to go . Anddddd just to get home to try some food that even safeways deli would of made it better . Never going back there . Trust me I love Peruvian food and this spot is no where near close to good chicken . If anyone would want to try a real good Peruvian chicken try pollo a la brasa in Woodbridge ... (Yeah whos going to drive 1 he to get chicken) I know its far but so worth it when ever youre around that area! Or if anything even Guapos beats this place !

Great food! There a lot of Chicken rotisserie places that have popped up in Northern Va and most of them are pretty good. I really this place because they offer a bit more than the run of the mill chicken place. Ive only been there once but plan on returning - I got their chicken sandwich "street food" and it was fantastic - for around $7 you get a huge sandwich and either fried yuca or french fries - I went with the yuca because I really like it. The sandwich is full of flavorful succulent white chicken and they include a generous portion of crispy wood fired skin that really adds to the sandwich. They offer a lot of fried fish dishes which I plan on trying and some beef dishes as well - so far, I think this place is a real winner and one of the best chicken rotisserie places going - Id take anybody there and feel confident theyd enjoy their selection.

I love Peruvian chicken. Seeing the review i decided to try this new place. Pros: Excellent fried rice,generous portions,Good dining space,Clean and area is good. Cons: Not so flavorful Peruvian chicken, I generally eat at chicken rico which is bit shady but when bring chicken from there my car smells like Peruvian charcoal chicken on my way home. So this is bit bland for me. But for a family dining this is certainly good place.

Great food! I stopped in last night, in the mood for chicken but never had Peruvian beore. The chicken was perfect, the plantains were fantastic, everything is better than I had hoped for. With 3 or 4 other chicken places within 100 feet, this one wins every time, I would drive an hour to go to this place again and probably will.

Warning: this place is under new management as of 2 weeks ago. Theyre kind people, but theyre charging more, and theres nothing Peruvian or Greek about them. It shows in their cooking style. Go to Sardis or Limas if you actually want Peruvian food. I wish the new management the best.... but Im a little scared for them.

El pollo en Waku Chicken es riquisimo. Las papas y llucas fritas de lo mejor. El Ceviche y el Churrasco a lo pobre exquisito . 100% recomendado.

While reading the menu posted outside the door, someone who was leaving said "great food". So I tried it. I was not disappointed. The menu is sort of Greek-Peruvian. I had the 1/2 Peruvian chicken with some kind of rice/veggi/egg/chicken combo. It was really good. I cant wait to explore the whole menu.

Got a half chicken and fries for takeout. It seemed like they cut off part of the breast meat, but maybe it was just a small chicken. Fries were pretty good, a little on the soft side though. All and all very average, average service too. Will probably go back when I crave Peruvian chicken.

I love Waku Chicken so much. Their chicken taste so much better than the other places. They are so generous when you ask for extra sides or basically anything. They also have many other different kinds of authentic foods. I really recommend this place.

Excellent and friendly service. Chicken is excellent, as good as I have had in NOVA! Dips were fresh and yummy. Sides we had: fries, coleslaw, and Greek salad. All were very good; fries were fresh and hot. Easy parking. I will go back again.

The Rotisserie chicken here is above-average, but there are better. The side portions are extremely generous - this could easily be your one meal for the day. Plenty of seating available, and you get immediate service. An excellent lunch spot.

OMG this place is amazing!!! I got the charcoal grilled chicken, rice, salad. Enough food for two !! My friends enjoyed different types of the chicken and all the sides so we got to taste almost everything. Our new favorite spot!

Excellent food quality, taste, and portions. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The portions are beyond generous, and reasonably priced. Great for lunch, if you work in the Reston/Herndon area.

Ordered chicken with yuca and plantains. Chicken was good. Sides were disappointing, restaurant smelled like cleaning supplies. I would just go to Nandos instead.

Best Peruvian chicken in the area. Always moist chicken and great roasted potatoes! The arroz chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice) and green beans are great too!

Nothing spectacular about the food at all. Probably would avoid this place in the future since the are plenty of other options nearby.
