Chifa 國偉

Everywhere the Gang Eats on HBO’s ‘I Love LA’ | Eater LA

"Chifa serves as the backdrop for a pivotal dining scene in the series. Here, we meet Tallulah’s love interest, chef Tessa, and also see Charlie try to redeem his reputation in the gay community with a server whom he perceives to be queer. It culminates with a classic Charlie one-liner: “I don’t want him talking shit at Akbar about how we don’t like his food.”" - Eater Staff

"Revived in Los Angeles decades after the family’s original Lima restaurant opened in 1975, this chifa is a living “family table,” showcasing generational recipes from Cantonese, Peruvian, and Taiwanese heritage. The menu highlights Chinese-influenced Peruvian classics like lomo saltado—here made with wood-fired, wok-tossed filet mignon and cherry tomatoes—reflecting techniques brought by Chinese laborers in the 1800s. With California’s access to Asian and Latin American resources and local farmers, the team also experiments joyfully, creating dishes like a beef soup noodle French-dip-style sandwich, a bolo bao burger, a Taiwanese pastrami sando, and a dim sum beet cake alongside those beloved family recipes." - Daniel He

The Best Peruvian Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"With its stunning jade and marble dining room, Chifa is a Chinese-Peruvian restaurant in Eagle Rock that's a must-see attraction even if you never take a single bite of the food. The menu is inspired by the restaurant in Peru that the owner's family used to run, and features dishes like pollo a la brasa, mapo tofu, and traditional zongzi, sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf and filled with Chinese sausage, pork belly, and mushroom. We particularly love the spicy beef noodle soup and si yao chicken, but whatever you do, make sure you save room for a few black sesame cheesecake tarts at the end—they’re excellent." - sylvio martins, brant cox

"Chifa" is a term referring to a delicious mashup of Peruvian and Chinese cuisines. If the green velvet chairs and zebra-print walls aren't enough of a clue, look to the team who isn't shy about anything.The succinct menu pulls from family recipes and childhood memories to pack in flavor at every turn. Start easy with Japanese sea bream soaking in an orange and lime sauce, before moving on to char siu, starring pork cheek finished on a wood-fire grill—it's the stuff of barbecue dreams. Your visit would be incomplete without the lomo saltado, featuring tender chunks of filet mignon and sauteed onions coated in an umami-rich gravy and served on a pile of French fries. If, by some off chance, you’re still hungry, finish with a black sesame-cheesecake tart." - Michelin Inspector

"Chifa is a restaurant that starts conversations. Partly because its heart-themed dining room is bathed in jade and partly because the Peruvian-Chinese food is that good. The family-run operation has a truly adorable interior, as well as a back patio that works for big groups. The menu is inspired by the co-owners original restaurant in Lima, with dishes like pollo a la brasa, mapo tofu, and traditional zongzi, sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf and filled with Chinese sausage, pork belly, and mushroom. Whatever you do, get a few alfajores for dessert." - brant cox, sylvio martins
