Where To Eat Outside In Woodside & Sunnyside - New York - The Infatuation

"A summer without ceviche is like a king size bed without pillows, a car without a steering wheel, or a cell phone with no provider — there’s just no point. Thankfully, the Sunnyside location of Riko Peruvian is serving several different kinds of ceviche including things like white fish, sweet potato, squid, and mussels in halved coconuts on their sidewalk patio. You can also order things like rotisserie chicken, salad, and Peruvian-style fried rice with beef here." - Nikko Duren

Love love Rikos! Haven’t been here in sometime but today was a great reminder that some good things never change. I got the 1/4 chicken personal combo and it was a perfect amount for me. Id recommend the 1/2 combo if you have a larger appetite. Everyone was so kind to me because I had a cast on my hand - they even offered to cut my chicken up into smaller pieces so I could eat it easily! Thankfully the chicken was tender enough so that I could easily shred and eat it with one hand. Amazing right?! Soft and juicy chicken yum!! They also have out a complimentary glass of wine before I even ordered. It may be an afternoon special hmm not sure but other tables got it as well. AND finished it off with a margarita shot when I asked for the bill. This was a great stop for me when I was in the area and had time to kill. I was able to read my kindle without interruptions. Delicious food and very kind people that run the restaurant. 11/10 🫶

I went in thinking it might have an overpriced rotisserie chicken meal… Boy was I wrong! The chicken was perfect and juicy, and it was less than $25 for a whole chicken and a side of rice and beans. Great meal! Great price!

We had an amazing time celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday at this restaurant! The service was outstanding. Maria our server, did a fantastic job making the occasion special, and all the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, they are incredible! The food was delicious and came in huge portions, definitely great value. They surprised us with complimentary wine and shots, even the birthday cake for my boyfriend, complete with a joyful “Happy Birthday” song. We felt so happy and grateful for the wonderful experience. Definitely will go back again soon! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!

Nice indoor and outdoor atmosphere. We got complementary glasses of house wine upon arrival, which was nice. We waited a bit for our orders, but the fried calamari was delicious. We also ordered the 1/2 chicken, which came with salad and fries, and also ordered a beef dish where the steak was overly cooked and tough as rubber. It also came with hotdogs, rice, and a fried egg. Chicken was a bit dry as well compared to other Peruvian restaurants we have tried. Also kind of strange for a restaurant that doesn't have a bathroom for their guests.

Complimentary glass of wine and shot of house made margarita with meal. I only get the half chicken with rice and beans here but it's great. Nice outdoor seating, friendly service. Great neighborhood spot.

This place is absolutely disgusting. Me and my girlfriend ordered delivery. She had the rotisserie chicken with rice and beans. I had the lomo saltado. Her chicken was raw and she put it in the air fryer to ensure it was cooked. Aside from that I thought I was going crazy because my food smelled like cigarettes or burnt tobacco, like an ashtray filled with water. We determined it was the rice that smelled like that. Both of our rice orders had that disgusting smell. We lost our appetite immediately. I am never ordering from here again. I did not even get to try the lomo… my all time favorite dish. Aside from the cigarette smell from the rice, the steak looked tough and dry. Not quality. This is our 2nd time trying this place. A few years ago we ordered from their Roosevelt ave Jackson Heights location and the food never came. I had to personally go to the location to replace my order and I remember the staff was busy flirting with eachother instead of preparing food. We decided to try this place again only this is their Greenpoint location. We figured that last time was a one off bad experience at a poorly managed restaurant. But it looks like the whole chain is a disaster…. Such a shame you cant get good peruvian food in Astoria/LIC….. Never again!!!

Tried Peruvian food for the first time today – and wow, it was so good! The place was clean and had a really nice vibe. I didn’t expect the food to be this tasty, but every bite was amazing. Definitely going back again!

Visited this Peruvian restaurant with a large group after training and we had so much fun, from the wine to the shots to finish. The Peruvian roast chicken was a winner. Will have to come back for the vibe.

in classic big city fashion, I stopped by for a bite and a fire raged across the street. Provided an interesting view while I ate possibly one of the best fried calamari I've had in a while. Also ordered the seafood fried rice and that was fantastic. The side of pickled red onions was also sooooo good. Made for a nice complement to the fried squid. The free appetizer cancha was honestly too good. I asked for three more orders and the server just kept it coming! All were affordable and the servings were huge (despite being told it wasn't going to be too big)! Service was jovial and vibes casual and intimate.

I've ordered from this twice now , first time , had the same problem so gave them a second try. Worst thing I've done. Wasted my money on something I knew they wouldn't fix . Food is dry and unable to be bitten. The chicken was cold and inedible . Don't recommend it . Along with that the rice tasted burnt . Overall horrible experience . Once was enough ! Never again

Sadly, I have to agree with the other reviewers. The chicken is very dry and not that flavorful. The sauces are pretty bland and the sides are basic. If I want the best Peruvian, I have to head to Jackson Heights bc Sunnyside lacks in this department.

Though I'm Latina myself, I hadn't gone to a Peruvian spot exclusively so this was a good first time! When Diana seated us she poured us a complimentary glass of wine and overall was so sweet the whole time! Food itself was quite good. There is a dish they are know for here that my boyfriend ended up having that hit the SPOT and I low key wish I ordered his meal instead (though mine was good too, just wasn't a fan of the French fries). I ordered the Milanesa de Pollo and he ordered the Lomo Saltado. Overall awesome meal, awesome time! Tips -They have happy hour every day! -Ask if your meal includes beans (mine did not so I had a side order last minute) -Can eat inside or outside, but I personally liked the outside vibe better!

Yum! Came here with a group of friends and had a nice time. We sat down and got some complimentary sangria which was nice. Service was friendly and between the Spanish our group knew and the English the team at Riko knew, we were able to get everything ordered and squared away with no issues. We got there around 7 and it wasn't too crowded but the music was super loud. They were fine with turning it down a little so we could have a conversation. By the time we left a little before 9, it was getting more crowded. It took about 40 minutes for our food to come but once it came out everyone dug in. I had the lomo saltado which was great. The beef was nice and I loved the tomatoes and onions. The rice was also delicious. I honestly could have made two meals of this. I got a side of tostones because I love them but rarely have them so they were a terrific treat. Next time I want to try some roast chicken. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Oh, and for all of us, the total including tip was $33 per person. I thought that was a great bargain for such tasty food and generous portions.

My Wife is Peruvian, I cook Peruvian food and eat it often. I've been here twice in a week and probably wont be back. The owners are nice and welcoming and i was offered a drink each time i waited for my takeout order. First order was Ceviche's and Chicken Chicharron. The Ceviche was good however the Chicken was just riddled with bones and seemed like fried left over chicken parts that were very flavorful. Second order was a Lomo Saltado which was skimpy and the beef was thick and chewy. Also ordered the Large Combo, Rice was Rice, Beans weren't great, Salad was Alright, Salchipappas were mostly fries and the chicken was undercooked and flavorless but the absolute worst thing that will keep me from ever going there again was the Chicken Chaufa. The most tasteless pale looking Chaufa I've ever had. I'ts a very small place where id never stay to eat in and the outdoor dining is less than desirable due to the surroundings. Shame on the cooks! I'm German American and make better Peruvian food than they do

Food is a hit or missed at times ..I've ordered from them a few time, but I avoid their beans , it taste like it came straight out of a can and lacks flavor.

Ordered delivery from here but it was meh. I tried the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans, Maduros Fritos (Plantains) and Yuca Frita. The plantains were the best thing; everything else was kind of bland. The Chelsea location is better in my experience.

It's been some time since I've been back here. I use to go here a lot before 2016. If you got a fresh chicken then you were in luck. But sometimes I would get an 'eggy' smelling chicken which was not so fresh. Usually telling the server would get me a fresh piece. But thankfully that was only a handful of times and it wasn't just this location. It was also with the now shuttered Greenpoint Brooklyn location too. I popped in here a few nights ago and got an order to go. Ordering was simple enough but the counter person was cold as ice. I came in, said hello, and asked if I could place an order. I just got a stare. Then she took out her pad and stood there. So I placed my order and thanked her. No reply. And I didn't get my change but it was less than a dollar so I just let it slide. When I came back she was putting together the order and then handed it to me. I thanked her and she walked away. No reply. Nothing. I rate her customer service a negative zero. But the chicken.... well the chicken was great! Just as I remember it. So I guess next time I'll go to the other Riko which is a few doors down. I like the chicken but the counter person was so bad I'll probably skip this branch in the future.

She even gave us pallet cleansers . ,it was great! The lunch special was enough for us to share and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The sauces are amazing!!! Thanks again Estephania !

As one of the longest standing Peruvian joints in the hood, Riko has done a pretty good job in staying relevant as they've gone from small'ish eatery to divide + conquer mode with multiple locations. This one enjoys the luxury of being located on one of the busiest corners on Greenpoint and has a steady flow of locals rocking their food with their indoor + outdoor dining. They've done a decent job at making the place seem bigger than it is by expanding their outdoor seating, even before the pandemic came around. They were perpetually busy almost every night and especially during the weekend and with good reason: the food is tasty. I think it all begins with a classic pollos a la brasa (aka rotisserie chicken). Their version is juicy with just enough flavor emanating from the skin, with the perfect aji green sauce to complement it. The latter can be purchased separately well as well; which I've done for like $5 for a nice cup. I also feel pretty strongly about their jalea, which is as hearty as as it is crispy. I can't say I love their sangria and/or ceviche, yet I can't help but order it almost all the time. Their prices have slowly crept up over the years and while that pains my wallet, I'm pleased to know the quality remains high. I've not encountered any major snafus with their wait staff and I am happy for their continued success. I am already salivating thinking of my next chicken + lomo saltado run.

If you enter a Peruvian restaurant anywhere in the world you're almost guaranteed to find Ceviche, sometimes referred to as seviche or cebiche, on the menu. In essence, it's a seafood cocktail that involves marinating and curating with citrus juices and spices. Originating in the coastal regions of the Inca Empire, Ceviche has become a staple in Peruvian cuisine and is one of the many reasons why Peru has routinely been recognized as the World's Top Culinary Destination (along with a myriad of other prestigious awards) from the top culinary experts in the business. Here's a look at my lunch earlier today: Ceviche Mixto from Riko's Peruvian.

This is an amazing spot! That chicken is just the best thing since slice bread. The rice was great too. I wasn't a fan of the beans. But the salad, was AMAZING. I will be in the area often, and now I know this spot is legit

We enjoyed a pleasant Saturday dinner with a free glass of sangria and live music. The performer had a decent voice and a wide selection of songs both Spanish and some English tunes. It really added something extra to our dining experience. The food was tipical Peruvian dishes. Only reason why I give them 4 stars is because they too a little too long to serve.

What a great choice for Peruvian food ! My fiancé and I stumbled upon this place and it was delicious. They offered us complimentary glasses of wine to start . We had their rotisserie chicken with rice beans and a side of avocado . The chicken was delicious and all was at a good price . I will definitely be coming back . Thank you for a great time .

The food was awesome. Had the white sangria and I have to say they were not watered down or juice downed. For the meal ordered Arroz Chaufa and the Jalea, which is a fried mixed seafood. Left there very happy!!!

My review reflects the experience I had at the RIKO restaurant at the corner of 46th St. and Greenpoint Avenue in Sunnyside Queens. Are used to frequent the original Rico restaurant in Manhattan across the street from the garden. I always got great fish ceviche. Medium with the spice. Always fresh and always good. Upon arriving at this establishment, you are greeted with a complimentary glass of wine. You order your food, and after you've eaten, you are offered an after dinner drink on the house as well. Everyone here is warm and friendly and you will not leave hungry no matter what you order. The rotisserie chicken is off the hook. But, my personal favorite, is the fish ceviche medium spicy. Can't miss!

I love this place - they have very tasty Peruvian cuisine with good drinks and large portion sizes. The service is quick and friendly too, with a nice outdoor seating area. Their ceviche is great, and every time I go, I like to try new things since I'm never disappointed.

What can I say. You need to come to this place. Food is awesome. And... When we first sat down, they served a complimentary glass of wine. Motivated us to buy ALL THE FOOD. The hospitality and service is bar none. The server asking how everything was and if she could get anything else for us. The owner came and said hello. Served more wine. We ate more. And now we are drunk, and laughing, and feeling good. No rush. All smiles. Feel good place with delicious food and delicious ceviche. What's not to like? Come on down! (As of writing this..we are also pounding water...)

I ordered delivery for one of my office lunches and some take home for myself. The office was ECSTATIC, delivery was on time, food was quality. I was impressed I put my online order in an hour before they opened (for a noon delivery) and they were able to accommodate (ordered 3 seafood platter, 5 orders tostones, 2 beef mossolo, 1 whole chicken and 3 family package). Will use again and the delivery guy was very professional over the phone.

What? Haven't I reviewed this restaurant yet? I must have forgotten after the meal! Anyway, the first time we tried this was via a takeout order. It was excellent, and we thought the food must be better if we dine here. So when Hubby's out of town, I decided to come by and eat here by myself so I could review the whole place. Not bad! Diana, the waitress, took good care of me! Maybe because I'm not Peruvian, she appreciated my effort to come by and have dinner all by myself. Since it's pandemic time, they gave me plastic utensils for my dinner. Since we enjoyed the Peruvian takeout chicken, I ordered this again for my solo dinner. I chose rice and beans on the side. The Peruvian chicken's awesome! Try it! I can't compare with other Peruvian chickens, but I loved the chicken's tenderness, and the seasoning was perfect! The combination of rice and beans with the chicken was a perfect one too. I'll try this with salad next time. So that was my dinner order. One of the dishes that we liked from here came via our takeout order which was spaghetti with huancaina sauce? It was a different spaghetti dish because this is Peruvian, so it didn't have any tomato sauce, but there's something else. It wasn't bad at all. We also ordered a seafood dish that was also not bad but could skip it next time. They have two restaurants in this neighborhood and another location somewhere else. Try the Peruvian chicken! It's worth it! Great meal and service! Thanks!

I know how hard it is to run a small business, but this was disappointing on a number of levels. Outside of the food not having any flavor (the couple next to us shared the same sentiment and they were Peruvian and Ecuadorian), they also charged us 20% gratuity for just 2 of us and never mentioned it. In fact, I think it's common practice and the only reason we caught it is we take pictures of the receipts. This was especially frustrating as we came eager to try something Peruvian outside of Pío Pío (which we love), and where we have one right in midtown west... Our server and bus boy were very friendly, but doesn't negate or make up for the lack of food quality or the group gratuity charge for a couple.

One of the best restaurants for rotisserie chicken you will ever find. There are thousands of spanish chicken joints but nothing will compare to this. This place has a special place in my heart, have been going here for 15 years and have seen it grow to multiple locations (2nd Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Jamaica, NYC Chelsea, etc). The owners will always treat you to a glass of red wine (or more) and they truly make you feel like family here. I love Riko!

The freshest ceviche I've ever had in NYC. I don't always trust seafood when I'm not by the water, but dang...this tasted like it was caught this morning! Not to mention incredible and fast service. Everyone is so kind. The owner is around and assures all the patrons are having a good experience. I need to come back for their chicken dishes because they looked just as good as the seafood. If you're looking for incredible and AUTHENTIC Peruvian food, you HAVE to try this place. I cannot recommend this enough!!!! *FYI most of the staff speaks Spanish. Please be patient if you're an English only speaker. They work really hard and they understand everything, but I asked in English what the best dish is and the server paused for a moment. No big deal, just letting everyone know.

Riko is a great place, no doubt about it. Their ceviche is great, chicken is nice and paella is awesome. Is it still is? I understand that it's a hard time for everyone of us, including small businesses. But being in a hard time doesn't justify something done wrong; especially with all of this pandemic status. I love this place, I do support them but this is a big time messing up for multiple reasons. I am concerned about their current outdoor sittings. Seems too close to each other. And because so many of us love this place, it's packed. I'm a fan of the place, but I'm worried about it. I even saw a waitress serving without putting her mask on couple of days ago. Then I placed an pick up order. Few minutes later, food came out. I checked the receipt, correct order, on-time. Everything was perfect..until I opened it. Ceviche came out bland. Barely any lime in there. I could smell a hint of it, couldn't taste of it. And that wasn't what I had from Riko until this time. Luckily it's just a block away so I revisited the store and ask for help. Cashier at the moment said there's a lime juice in it but they'd gladly pour more, like lack of lime is a new standard. If it's so, I must say that's a huge mistake in their strategy. So I got my ceviche fixed with a right amount of lime juice. Came back home. Me and my wife enjoyed everything. Until a thin, long hair came out. Photo attached. And to be clear, my hair is not that long and my wife shaved her hair. It is from the restaurant. I know this can be happened by accident for anyone. But with everything happened at once, I only had to question about how high they keep their standard to. I wish someone in charge find and read this, and put it back on the right track. Please. Love you guys.

Considering the size of this restaurant, they really packed it in with a lot of goodies, from delicious comfort food, to live music, to a slew of yummy happy hour drinks and to excellent services, where the staff were attentive and friendly. Everything came quickly. Their Peruvian chicken was very flavorful and tender. It almost reminds me of the Costco chicken (which is excellent btw) but the only difference is that it's packed with more seasoning and sprinkled with a little TLC. As for their side dish, I enjoyed their green plantain. It was really hot so I knew it was made fresh to order and their yellow plantain was good but only wish it was a little more ripened. As for the rice and beans, I did wish they would have added more beans but overall, it was still good. Surprisingly, I enjoyed their fried hotdogs and fries. It reminded me of childhood so maybe that's the main reason why I liked it so much. Overall, I like this restaurant, the people that work here and their hospitality. Their live music was definitely the best part of the evening and it made me feel like I was transported to Peru, just with the sound of live music. AMAZING!!

I was hesitant in writing my thoughts about this place and giving a mediocre review as small businesses are suffering. But here it goes I went inside to order takeout and they definitely do not follow the 6 feet rule for patrons, and the employees aren't wearing masks. In the corner they have people dining in and eating. I was a bit turned off. I won't be returning and they seem to be doing well during this pandemic as ppl were waiting and calls kept coming into the restaurant. So, one person complaining and not going back won't make or break it for them. I did order take out and their chicken is way too salty and a bit dry. It definitely wasn't fresh as it was done in 5 minutes. Felt like it was microwaved as it wasn't heated all the way through. Also, they should enforce the rules about masks even to the ppl inside that are working and eating. What is this with ppl eating inside??

I love Peruvian food. I love how they make the roasted chicken. I love the combo limeño, and the Peruvian corn. When my family comes from Ecuador They love to come here.

My friend and I went for dinner on 10/2/23. We tried to order a combo, and the waitress said we couldn't order one. We ordered drinks while we looked over the menu more. When she came back, I asked her what the problem was with the combo (if they didn't have chicken, or what.) She told us that there is a "new rule" that we can only order the combo to go, but we can order all of the same things for a higher price. I asked her what the higher price was, and she said she didn't know. I asked her if she knew mathematics but she said no. So we drank our drinks and left. Maybe this "new rule" is only for fat gay gringos, but if you are expecting to order what is on the menu for the prices that are printed, you may be disappointed.

4.5 Stars but rounding up to 5! A friend is moving out of NY/USA and 11 of us gathered to wish her farewell. Her restaurant of choice was Riko Peruvian Cuisine - great choice!! We just love this restaurant and are never disappointed when we dine here. Hospitality is always warm & welcoming; Service is always efficient; Food is always plentiful and delicious. Our server, Luis, was fantastic! Kudos to Luis for taking care of our large party, as well as everyone else in the restaurant on a busy Wed evening! Thank you also for the complimentary red wine for our entire party and the after dinner passion fruit shots! Hospitality at its Best! Tips: $5 Happy Hour is from 12pm to 7pm, Mon to Fri. Live music after 7pm, Thurs-Sun. $5 red or white sangria with Yelp check-in! Now that the weather is warming up, outdoor seating is available! Tonight's menu: ~ Jalea (Deep-fried pieces of squid, shrimp and fish topped w/hot spicy onion salad, mussels and crab meat) - a MUST HAVE if you like seafood....trust me, you're gonna want this. One of my fav dishes. ~ Picante de Mariscos (seafood in spicy Peruvian sauce) - this dish was my least fav dish tonight but others in my party really liked it! ~ Tallarin Verde con Bistec (steak w.spaghetti in green Peruvian-style sauce made w.basil, spinach and cheese) - tasty dish; even better with some of their green sauce! ~ Chaufa de Pina (Peruvian style fried rice w.chicken, shrimp, pineapple & raisins; served in half pineapple) - this was another good dish but I was surprised there wasn't much pineapple in it. ~ Salchipapas (hot dog slices over french fries) - come on, this is just hot dogs and french fries right??...wrong! Somehow it's the most tasty hot dog & french fries! Have no idea how they make this but it is so addictive! And please do NOT ask for Ketchup...if you must have a sauce, have it with some of their green sauce! Yummmm Thanks again to Luis and Riko Peruvian for a lovely evening. Farewell and Good Luck to our friend Ann! We hope you will return to the US sometime for a visit! We shall miss you!!

I came here for dinner and ended up not staying long because a drink was spilled on me by another customer. I give this place 4 stars because I did managed to eat my appetizer and as soon as the drink was spilled on me the waiters and everyone around helped to clean up. They even gave me extra sauce in my Togo bag which was thoughtful. I will probably come back to try the main courses because I loved the ambiance of the restaurant

Their happy hour drink menu piqued the interest of my girlfriend and I. 5$ drinks all day! My girlfriend had mojitos while I had passion fruit sours. Birth drinks were great. I would recommend the bistec (steak) with pesto pasta. We also got the corn with cheese as an appetizer - be aware that Peruvian corn is MUCH starchier than regular corn. The waitresses were overwhelmed but I blame that on COVID. PS- They assume everyone speaks Spanish, some speak English.

Just ordered delivery. Food was dropped off by driver not wearing a mask. I always answer the door wearing a mask just to make sure I don't put any delivery person in unnecessary danger in these uncertain times. I called to let the restaurant know the driver entered our building with no mask and since we have a lot of older people living here I just wanted them to be aware to try and keep everyone as safe as possible and all the gentleman on the phone would say is that he can't "babysit" his staff. Guess in that case you can't control them wearing masks in the kitchen preparing food or washing hands after using the bathroom. Sorry Riko, you just lost a customer. If anyone reading this has any concerns about your food safety I would not recommend this establishment. Stay safe and be smart everyone!

Trendy neighborhood spot but thought the prices were a little much for what they offered. Rotisserie chicken was very good though. Would come back and if I was drinking then this is a very cool spot. Outdoor seating is always nice and has a very laid back vibe. Alittle too laid back though as they forgot my check a couple times. Extensive menu for those who want to be adventurous.

They can't speak English , I place an order for delivery and could not find the address .. I waited for one hour and 15 minutes . When called to find out what is going on , from the little I understood from the broken Enhlish they spoke I was told that they are not coming anymore . So disappointed ! They must learn English when working with public , we are in New York , not all the New Yorkers speak Spanish , this is America not South America !

The most DISGUSTING peruvian food I've ever had in my entire life. Sea food smells unwashed kitty And tastes old. Maduros are horribly dry, may as well call them patacones. The horrible excuse for Lomo saltado should be called soup. First of all, about 8 small pieces of beef, 9 WET pieces of potato because you can't even call them fries, and huge pieces of onion and tomato. This was tomato and onion soup. These people are selling 1 week old food and you can taste it. Shame on you people for destroying Peruvian food like this.
