Brasa Peruvian Kitchen

Omar H. provided the utmost in professional and knowledgeable customer service! He took the time to explain all the options and even the nutritional value with geographical context of the food! When it’s so common place for people to work in service and not have a clue of their job, the food or beverages their selling Omar completely restored my faith in eating out. I’m definitely coming back and telling all my fitness fam to come here for a healthier and tastier option that’s refreshingly delicious! Great Job Brasa Peruvian for the most delicious food and even better atmosphere! Omar, thanks again homie.

I stopped by this spot today and was so impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. I ordered the braised beef Every bite had the perfect balance of freshness and seasoning, hearty but still light and refreshing. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. You can tell they care about both the food and the people they serve. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends!

Today was my first time trying this place and I absolutely love it. The customer service was amazing!! Shout out to the crew helping me on 7/23/25 around 3PM. They were super helpful, welcoming, and patient. I got the hot brasa chicken and it beyond delicious. There was a lot of fresh power foods in there that helped me feel full and fueled for the rest of the day. I can’t wait to go back and try more.

I heard of this place on social media and it’s around the corner from my children’s barber so I decided to give it a try. While born in the states, i have traveled annually Peru since birth and grew up with their bold flavors and of course amazing chicken. We love chicha morada and I was looking forward to the purple bee pea. Sadly the bee pea tasted more like a blueberry smoothie with no purple corn flavors coming through and it didn’t look that purple at all. The cancha was not fresh, very little and cold chicken on the chicken Caesar and both bowls took up more green than other elements and were not warm at all. Our server was nice and the place was clean.

This place has become my favorite in such short time! I have tried their bowls, smoothies and today the new empanadas. My favorite was the chicken one! I think it’s great to have a place close to home with such delicious, healthy options featuring Peruvian cuisine. The delivery was very fast and the food was clearly made with fresh and high quality ingredients.

Astoria just gained a gem! This new Peruvian eatery is the kind of place that instantly feels like a neighborhood staple—fresh, vibrant, and effortlessly tasty and it did not disappoint! The salads are crisp and vibrant, made with high-quality ingredients, and the staff is incredibly sweet and welcoming. Everything tastes clean, intentional, and beautifully balanced. You leave feeling satisfied, energized, and already planning your next visit. ⭐️ Must-order: the Chifa Braised Beef Superfood Bowl. The beef is unbelievably tender, sautéed with onions, and packed with bold, delicious flavor—it literally melts in your mouth. Nice sized portions too! The Avocado Chicken Crunch Salad is another winner. The chicken is seasoned so well, just as tender, and cooked to perfection! I’d give more than five stars if I could. A must-try in Astoria, Queens located on the corner of 31st Street and 30th Avenue, right under the train station.

Today I had a chance to attend a grand opening of a new restaurant serving Peruvian cuisine in the heart of Queens right next to the 30th Ave train station. The cutting ribbon opening ceremony was beautiful. The atmosphere was filled with joy, the food was healthy and delicious. New Yorkers made a line to try Peruvian dishes. I am a big food lover who appreciates fresh and healthy food options. I’ve been to Peruvian restaurants before. This is the best and healthiest one. The only thing I would change in the dish that I ordered ( Caesar salad with chicken ) - roasted corn. I would just not add because it wasn’t easy to chew it. I would just either not add it to the dish or made it softer. Everything else was just perfect. Next time I’ll take my good Peruvian friend Jose with me. I’m sure he’ll be happy with my restaurant choice.

Walked in after a long day to pick up a bowl. A man at the bus stop had liked them so much he'd told everyone at the stop to go here, so I had to try. I'm a picky eater: vegetarian, keto, gluten free. The staff was helpful, funny and sweet in assisting me to make my choices. The tofu is outstanding. The toppings are fresh and interesting: yellow beets, cucumbers, those little red peppers, feta that's soft and creamy. I highly recommend stopping in and picking up a bowl. I'll certainly be back!

Came here for lunch on a Sunday early afternoon. Had basically no wait time, and given it's a residential area I'd guess this spot doesn't get crazy busy I did a make your own bowl and really enjoyed it! Most of the ingredients were high quality, and overall felt like a nice way to enjoy a healthy meal while eating out The best add ons I had were the sweet potato blossom (basically sweet potato with whipped cream texture) the toasted corn and giant corn, along with the hot pepper and lime sauce The proteins I had were the chicken and chili pepper tofu. Those were the only items in the bowl that didn't come across as high quality. The tofu in particular was quite hard and lacking in flavor. However both were saved by the sauces and other add ins Highly recommend giving this place a try if you find yourself in the area!

I did not like Brasa Peruvian Kitchen one bit. Everthing seamed off about this kitchen, cantine, or what ever you want to call it? The servings were not fresh, the restaurant had dirty tables and the staff were not really interested in the customers when I was there. With so many excellent Peruvian restaurants nearby, you would think there standards would be so much higher. They weren't. Everything I ordered (see photos) did not taste right and I left disappointed to say the least. I will not be back anytime soon!

Passed by this place a couple of times and finally decided to walk in for a quick healthy lunch. I got a chicken bowl with some guacamole, broccoli, carrots, beets, etc. The taste itself was pretty good, the portion could use a little work (some more protein would've been nice given the price). Other than that, the place itself is spacious, plenty of dine-in spots and was clean. I could see myself stopping here again and possibly trying another item on the menu (the smoothies look good).

4.5 stars Loved my bowl! I used their app to build my bowl for $16.45.. I chose seasoned rice and roasted potatoes as my base. I added broccoli, golden beets, mint cucumber, salsa criolla, queso fresco, raw carrots, big corn, sweety drop peppers and toasted Peruvian corn. I also added both avocado and sweet potato blossoms with the rocoto lime dressing. I also got a tuna ceviche bowl as well and I shared both with L. Both bowls were good but my custom bowl had a ton of stuff and it was great. I like my food fresh and not full of processed chemicals or salt.. this was so good. Not greasy or too salty and there was a good amount of beef in my bowl. I liked all the ingredients I added.. and L is really into the lil peppers lately so I added them for him. The sweet potato blossoms were delicious, added a lil sweetness.. I don't normally go to Astoria but lately I've been in the area.. I'd def come back to get this exact bowl. It just tasted like real food that was tasty and healthier than most restaurants nowadays... The tuna ceviche, I didn't get custom made, so it didn't come with that much stuff but it was only $13.25. Came with avocado & sweet potato blossoms, red onions, 2 types of corn and ...quinoa as the base. Tasted healthy. I actually do like quinoa. L would've liked just a lil more tuna of course but the food seemed like it was good quality. The place was very clean. The lady who made my bowl was very precise in a good way. We also tried this mango soda. I don't drink soda... I only had a sip.. eh. I had my own water... 2 bowls and a drink was around $35. We were full and felt great after the meal.

This is a very good addition to the neighborhood. It's great that it is not a generic salad place.

This new fast-casual restaurant just opened its second NYC location here in Astoria, offering healthy, fresh options with Peruvian flavors. Their menu includes smoothies, seasonal salads, and bowls (from set menu or build your own). I love that the Build-Your-Own bowl comes with unlimited toppings. You choose your base, protein, toppings, sauce, and blossoms and dips. I opted for a base of half spinach and half tri-color Peruvian quinoa, topped with marinated (ceviche-style) tuna, broccoli, cucumber, Peruvian sweety drop peppers, choclo (giant Peruvian corn), sweet potato and avocado blossoms, and Brasa dipping sauce on the side. First off, the bowl was beautifully prepared--colorful and nicely arranged (which I always appreciate--nothing worse than a bowl that looks like it was tossed together haphazardly). The sweet potato and avocado blossoms were not only visually fun and unique but also added great flavor. The choclo was another highlight--chewy, satisfying, and unlike anything you'd find at your average salad bar. Taste-wise, the bowl delivered. Everything was fresh, vibrant, and flavorful. My only gripe is that the portion of tuna was a bit small, especially for this price. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the sweety drop peppers, but I'm glad I gave them a try. Service was great. The staff was friendly and gave helpful advice--especially their recommendation to eat the bowl right away since the tuna was raw. While checking out, they mentioned that if you download their app, you get a free bowl after your first purchase. Definitely a reason to return!

This place is new and it's always busy when I've passed by! It's clean and the food is fresh! I think it's a great addition to Astoria, they have bowls, salads, smoothies ... you can build your own bowl or salad custom to how you like. The service was excellent and the man who was taking my order was so friendly and kind!! Amazing. My salad was yummy and I'm looking forward to going back and trying the beef next time, it looked so good!! Def worth checking out and the prices are totally reasonable, my bowl was big! 14.95$ per bowl

I really wanted to love this place but it was so disorganized. They were missing many ingredients for their standard bowls and it very hard to pick things without being able to see the items. Beautiful red pots with covered lids. Half the genius of chipotle is that you can see what your options are and add as you go. I was underwhelmed by the brasa bowl. Will not return.

This a new place that just opened up. It is very clean and organized. The napkins ran out and the worker immediately filled it up. They have to go bags available already on the side to grab. They even have a restroom even though there were only maybe 8-10 seats. It was really clean as well. The amount of food you receive is a lot, my total came out to $20 for my food and a drink. Rahiem my server was extremely kind, respectful, polite, and patient. I wanted to give him a tip, but I was told they can't accept tips, which is confusing to me since so many cafes and other places ask for tips where I don't n think it's necessary. The food was delicious and it's easy to try many options.

This random choice turned out to be surprisingly good. They prioritize what goes into their food. You'll notice the tidy environment and affordable menu. The workers deliver perfect assistance. I'd tell all dining enthusiasts about this restaurant.My taste buds fell in love during that first memorable meal. Their team maintains upbeat attitudes. Truly outstanding. The decor here creates a perfect mood. The staff delivers consistent service, the restaurant is spotless and I'll visit again.

Brasa is by far the best fast casual meal in Astoria. The food was fresh and flavorful along with awesome service! We're lucky to have it.

I fit this restaurant into my tight weekend schedule. The flavors impress, the servers excel, and ingredients shine. This place maintains good mood everywhere. The employees delivered with exceptional care. This place has an attractive layout.

As a Peruvian, I can confirm that this place is terrific. A welcome addition to the Peruvian food scene in NYC, offering high-quality ingredients, affordable prices, and thoughtfully creating a different spin on classic Peruvian staples. I've only tried their salads and bowls, but their smoothies and other snacks look good too. If only they served Chicha juice and Lucuma ice cream -- now that would be a game changer! P.S. Darnell is awesome and so welcoming, give this man a raise!

The spiced Shroomama was delicious Cellan was outstanding and great and a big help Highly recommend this place

Literally two bites of beef, some yellow rice, lettuce and a few pieces of steamed broccoli were the contents of our half filled beef bowl that cost $15. We asked for the lime/rococo sauce on the side, and got something resembling pureed avocado. Off to a poor start. Can improve portion size and flavor for sure.
