Chifa Wa Lok

i was unimpressed overall. i thought the food was average and the service was ok. the portion sizes are humongous which is a perk, i guess.

🔥 ¡qué rico! 🤤 We got the crispy egg noodles with seafood gravy (aka tallarin frito) & half a peking duck. The duck was tepid and not crispy but the flavor was so on point that we were happy with it. Noodles were crispy, umami, and loaded with garlic. Jasmine tea to wash all the grease down. Coming from very discerning Shanghainese taste buds…this food hit the spot!!! Service, well, the servers might as well have been Chinese. Lol. You just have to be patient and proactive about flagging them down. The lady shot daggers through my soul with her eyes when I went to grab a togo box 🤷🏻‍♀️ They charge 1 sol for them FYI. Bathrooms are upstairs only where all the larger dining tables are at. We grabbed a lucuma roll cake on the way out and enjoyed it at the park. Tasted like my childhood. Would recommend this chifa to anyone with a hankering for the Chinese food we all know and love 😋

Went there twice. The first experience was way much better than the second one. But still we are happy with the food. Positions are crazy big and one chifa plate is enough for two. One thing is very annoying taht the service is very very slow even it looks like there are many workers food arrives in 20-25 mins at least. Overall prices are cheap, food is delicious and the location is very central.

A wide variety of options with HUGE portion sizes! There is a line which usually means it’s good and they did not disappoint. Chinatown is a fun walk as well though much busier than Miraflores for example.

Waited maybe 5 minutes to be seated. It's very busy so the staff are always working. Have patience and be kind, do not come here if you want fast food. Sit down and enjoy it. The staff was all nice to us (3 foreigners). They have wifi and answered all my questions about the menu. I ended up getting the chifu rice with beansprouts and mushrooms, they made sure it was without onions. The portions are massive. My fried rice was a mountain. I generally eat big portions, but even for me it was enough for 3 meals (1 there and 2 at home). They packed what I couldn't finish in a sturdy take-away box in a bag and provided a plastic fork also. So that was nice because it didn't spill in my backpack. I think we spent maybe an hour here. Once we ordered, the food came out pretty fast. But it did take a while to have our orders taken and then to get our bill at the end, but we also didn't ask for the bill when we finished because we were enjoying conversation. I think 40 soles for food that lasted 3 meals is a good deal.

Wa Lok has a strong reputation for chifa dishes at a good price. They serve you enormous plates of food to the point where you probably need to split any plat with a friend or partner. Dishes are incredibly cheap for what you're given. However, flavors are pretty basic. Everything needs salt, msg, or spice. There's a huge vegetarian selection at the back of the menu if you'd like something slightly healthier. Expect a large crowd inside and out of the restaurant. It's a popular choice.

Right in the heart of chinatown, this is a very good Chifa restaurant. The portions are enormous. Each dish enough to feed 2 people. They have a very large selection of different kinds of meats and also vegetarian food. In the front is a bakery with all there desserts. Ordered a Beef Saltado and stewed Tofu which were both very good. They don’t come with rice so we got one bowl to share for 2 ppl. The staff recommended a pineapple bun with coconut filling- it was delicious. Staff does not speak fluent English but they do their best to make your time enjoyable. Must visit.

I had high hopes for this place, but the servers were indifferent, and the food was cold. We ordered two versions of duck (sweet and grilled) and two versions of chicken (orange and lemon), as well as chaufa, tallarines chinos especiales, and fried wontons. The taste was good, but the cold food was disappointing. To make matters worse, the place was not clean, which made it difficult to enjoy my meal. We went there on a Monday for lunch, and it was not busy at all (not surprised). I wouldn’t recommend this place and wouldn’t go back. We all got sick after eating there.
