Chifa Peru

Business just opened and they are working out some kinks with their ordering apps. The owner says he only accepts Beyond Menu orders for now. But you will see several other apps to place an order but don't use them. I don't think I ever had Peruvian food and not Chinese food with a Peruvian flare. But I was disappointed. The chicken and broccoli portions were small but very flavorful. There was no sides of steamed rice with my two dishes. The egg drop soup was some of the worst I have had. The Sesame Chicken was the worst I have had. It is not battered like typical Chinese food. I did like the combo rice and would recommend it. The owner is also the chef and cashier. He is a nice guy so if you know what you are ordering then support him but don't go here expecting your typical Chinese style of food. Also I think the food is priced too high for the portions that I received.

I have tried many Peruvian restaurants in Houston and Austin. This place has the MOST AUTHENTIC PERUVIAN CEVICHE ! The flavor truly sent me back to Peru! Authentic classic flavor, ginger, garlic, limes, celery, SO SO GOOD! thank you very much! We will be back soon!

Very impressed with Chifa in Pearland. The food was clean, fresh, and clearly made to order. The special fried rice was outstanding—the char on the pork was incredible and unlike any other Asian fried rice I’ve had. That depth of flavor really set it apart. Presentation was well done, and the atmosphere was better than expected—surprisingly nice for a strip-mall location. This is definitely one of those places you might not initially think to sit down and eat at, but you absolutely should. The food came out piping hot—I actually had to wait a bit before digging in, which says a lot about the freshness and quality. Highly recommend.

Both dishes we got tasted amazing, highly recommend getting it with fried rice. Good portion. We would definitely come back to try lunch special!

Chifa Peru immediately gives the impression of a classic Chinese takeout spot: quick-service layout, straightforward counter setup, and a menu packed with options. The name fits the experience—this is a true blend of Chinese and Peruvian cuisines, offering fusion dishes as well as classics from each culture. The atmosphere isn’t built for dine-in; it feels more like a small family-run spot focused on cooking rather than ambiance, which is understandable for the type of business it is. Service was fast, helped by the fact that I was the only customer at the time, but the real strength here is the food. I ordered tallarines verdes, arroz chaufa, and an Inka Kola. Both dishes are known for bold, distinct flavors, and Chifa Peru delivered above expectations. Portions were generous, flavors were rich and authentic, and the food still managed to offer something a little different from other places serving similar plates. This is absolutely a spot I’d order takeout from again, and anyone searching for Chinese-Peruvian fusion should give it a chance. There are a couple of drawbacks. They didn’t have chicha or the green salsa—both staples in Peruvian cuisine and something I personally consider essential alongside arroz chaufa. The menu also needs photos; even though I know most Peruvian dishes, I’m less familiar with some of the Chinese offerings, and newcomers might struggle to choose confidently. Bias acknowledged: I lean toward Peruvian food. But even with that in mind, Chifa Peru outperforms some of the more well-known Peruvian restaurants in Houston when it comes to flavor. I’d confidently bring my Peruvian relatives here, and I don’t think it would disappoint anyone craving that true taste of home.

The owner was very nice. The food was delicious!!! Please support small businesses. It was such a pleasure meeting him. He’s been here for one year.

I’m not very familiar with Peruvian food, but I know Kung Pao chicken is a Chinese dish. When I arrived at the restaurant, there was no one there. I waited for a few minutes and someone showed up. As I’m looking at another persons review this restaurant serves Peruvian food with Chinese ingredients. The order was for Kung Pao Chicken add broccoli and carrots. It cost me $20 and this is what I got. The meat looks like the same large chunks of meat used in the Peruvian dish. The chicken and peanuts are swimming in a “gravy” which is spicy but lacks flavor. I got two small florets of broccoli and no carrots. I would not recommend this restaurant for Chinese food.

Quality authentic Peruvian food!! The owner is super helpful and respectful, which makes the experience even better. My absolute favorite dish is Aeropuerto! soooo flavorful and delicious! D

Vine con mi esposo el 23 de septiembre para mi 55 cumpleanos. Fue mi primera vez de comer el alimento peruano. Demande pescado y yucca chicharron, arroz Amarillo Mariscos, ceviche camarron, chicha morada. Inca kola y picarones para ir. Solo digo asi--ceviche y chicha morada me tiene como--sabor de Vida--cumbia en mi boca. Si revuelvo a Houston, revuelvo por cierto a Chifa Peru!

The food was really delicious here! Fresh and pipping hot picarones was the star here. I haven't had them since I was last in Peru and I'm so glad I got to have them again! The service is a bit slow since it is only one person serving as a waitress, but that doesn't matter. The ambiance was nice and quiet. I can tell they do not have many people coming over, but I hope they continue growing their clientele. They are also hiring people if you are also looking for a waiter/waitress job.

The waitress we had was the epitome of what bad service is. She was terrible. Didn't greet us when we walked in, literally walked right past us and I asked do we seat ourselves? And she looked confused and said uhhh yeah if you want. It was all downhill after that with her. The ceviches were ok. I had 3 different kinds and they all tasted the same to me. The reason I'm giving it two stars is because the Mongolian beef they had was quite tasty.

Call or order in person, they had a hiccup with their online ordering today. Chifa is a Peruvian-Chinese cuisine that mixes Chinese dishes with Peru ingredients. The name itself originates from the Chinese word "chi-faan", "to eat". The main iconic dish is Chaufa, which is also a play on the Chinese word "chao-faan", "fried rice". Look for the subtle differences between the Texas fried rice and the Peruvian fried rice! Order the Chaufa Amazonico which is like a combo fried rice platter. I also ordered the anticucho (beef skewers), taypa special (similar to the happy family or triple delight dish), egg rolls, and chicha morada (purple corn drink). Would highly recommend the skewers and drink!

While I will always miss the Malaysian place which was previously here, Chifa Peru was a pleasant surprise! It's a quiet place and not too big, but based on the cook of the three dishes we'd definitely recommend it. We had only once before had Peruvian, but the Fish Ceviche was a definite hit! The corn elements with the lightest hit of habanero in the juice really set off the chunks of fish quite nicely. This paired nicely with the Tallarin Saltado con Vegetales (mixed veggie stir fry) - you really get the smoky wok hei flavor in the veggies and noodles both with the crisp of the vegetables and the nice chew in the noodles. It was a great relaxed flavor to alternate against the hit of the ceviche tang. We lastly had the Chaufa de Pato (duck fried rice), which we were amazed to find came out similar to Filipino lechon - decadent, and boneless to boot!!! Again another instance of good wok hei, and one of the better fried rice dishes we've had in the area.

I guess I caught them on a busy Sunday. The service was slow, but it seemed as if they were understaffed. Perhaps I ordered foolishly, but the char sui pork was under their favorite category. It says it is served in a sweet sauce, but this was all sweet with nothing else. The pork was dry, somehow, and chewy; the accompanying vegetables had received little attention and the pitiful small bowl of rice did nothing to add to the dish. For $19, I would expect a lot more. Nothing about this dish was the fusion of Chinese and Peruvian flavors. Nothing about this dish showed care or depth of flavor. And nothing about my experience explains the reviews that this restaurant gets. I guess all the attention went to the large parties next to us .

As a Peruvian who has tried lots of Peruvian food, Chifa Peru has one of the best I've tried. Had the lomo & chorros a la chalaca for lunch and it does the job! Owner is a real nice guy.

Chifa plate was delicious, also tried nabo curtido, was pretty good, picarones not so good.

The food is delicious and the owner provides the best service. I had the tacu tacu with filet mignion, highly recommend.

The poor quality food and the taste was like expired food. The place looks dirty and careless. It's not authentic Peruvian food.

Terrific food and great service from Willy and his team. We tried the sopa de wonton, arroz chaufa with chicken and chicha morada...kids loved it!

Really great food and service, the owner is a really nice guy! I highly recommend the pollo chijaukay plate.

The drinks were great and the food was perfectly flavorful. Definitely great place to try! Service was good. Ambiance was very beautiful too.

My boyfriend and I found Chifa Peru when looking for Pepper Twins and we were not disappointed! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. We're excited to come back again! The Chaufa Special and the Beef Sautéed with Broccoli were great and I'll definitely order them again!
