Simple Peruvian

Simple Peruvian team is extremely kind and the system is straight forward. Either take-out or dine-in. When dining in you take a number and choose a seat of your liking. When your food is ready they’ll bring it out to you. I walked in around 8:50 PM and ordered take-out for a whole rotisserie chicken. It took about 15 minutes, and the chicken came out hot and fresh. Brought it home and I was delighted to enjoy the juiciest and most flavorful chicken I’ve had in a very long time. I am looking forward to enjoying the other Peruvian delicacies they prepare. Thank you very much, Simple Peruvian!

I stopped by Simple Peruvian yesterday and was genuinely impressed! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, prefect for a casual meal or catching up with friends. The staff greeted me with a smile and were happy to walk me through the menu which was super helpful since I'm new to Peruvian cuisine. I tried the rotisserie chicken, which was perfectly cooked--juicy on the inside with a crispy, flavorful skin. It came with their house green sauce which added a great kick. You can taste the care that goes into their marinade. The Jalea was another standout: a generous platter of lightly fried seafood, including shrimp, calamari, and fish, all super fresh and crunchy. The tangy onion and salsa on top Brough everything together and made each bit pop with flavor. I placed my order at the register with the cashier, was given a table number, got seated and food was brought to me. Overall very seamless dinning experience. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size, and I left felling full and happy. If you're carving authentic Peruvian rotisserie chicken or want to try a seafood dish that's bursting with flavor, Simple Peruvian is a must-visit in Sunnyside!

This Peruvian fast food spot is fantastic! Their roast chicken is perfectly seasoned, packed with flavor, and the portions are super generous—great value for the price! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s a must-visit place to experience authentic Peruvian vibes. Highly recommend!

Orders for pickup, and was ready within 15 minutes. Ordered a whole chicken which was juicy, flavorful, fat was all rendered and had a great roasted color. We also ordered the fried rice which was really great. Might even be the best fried rice in the neighborhood. Would order again!

Excited about this new Chinese/Peruvian restaurant in the neighborhood! Had the sampler plate on opening day and enjoyed it. Great to see creative, fresh ideas popping up in the neighborhood. Check them out.

It’s a new business in the neighborhood and the owners are very kind, always open to suggestions. Overall, I would rate the food 7/10, since Peruvian cuisine usually has very high standards. The jalea was okay in flavor, but the portion was very small (only two shrimps). In other restaurants, the jalea is bigger and can often be shared; here it felt more like a personal plate. Also, it wasn’t crispy or golden, just kind of plain — missing that crunchy touch expected in a good jalea. The green sauce was a bit salty, and there was no salsa criolla. On the positive side, the chicha morada was tasty. I also took chicken home and it was undercooked; we Latinos usually prefer chicken well done, so that’s something to improve. I say this with both care and hope: I want to see our neighborhood grow with good restaurants, cafés, and businesses that represent us well. But I also have to be honest — after 30 years living in this country, trying all kinds of food and visiting a wide variety of restaurants, I can’t help but feel a little like a judge when I critique flavors and experiences based on that. In summary, the place has potential and it would be great to see them grow in the neighborhood, but they still need to work on portion sizes and cooking details.

This place is definitely worth visiting and offers a variety of Peruvian food. If you’re Peruvian and have been to a chifa in Peru, you know this place has to be on your list to go to. The rotisserie chicken is so tender and filled with so much flavor; the arroz chaufa is so good and they serve generous portions as well. Recommended 🇵🇪

As a Peruvian, I was excited to try this place because Sunnyside needed a good Peruvian spot. Sadly, it was extremely disappointing and mediocre at best. I don’t understand how any Peruvian could try this food and come back to this place. The arroz con mariscos is actually laughable. I would put 0 stars if I could.

I came to Simple Peruvian after seeing an IG post that caught my attention, and I'm glad I did! This spot is pretty unique with its fusion of Asian and Spanish influences in the cuisine. You can order from the kiosk out front or directly at the register, and they even have a rewards program you can sign up for. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with the Lomo Saltado, which came with a free side thanks to their grand opening promo--we chose the fried wontons (3 pieces), and they were quite good. For my main entrée, I had the Ceviche Mixto with rice & beans as the free side. The ceviche had a lot of onions, which I personally wasn't a fan of, but the side was tasty. We also tried the dumplings, which reminded me of mini empanadas, and they were enjoyable as well. The atmosphere is very casual. You seat yourself if you're dining in, and they bring the food to your table after you take a number. Overall, it's a nice little spot with interesting flavors and a laid-back vibe.

I went to Grand opening, boy it was packed! First you order up in the front counter, Pay and sit. My family and I ordered lomo saltado that came with a free app, the app trio, wonton soup, chirimoya ice cream and picarones. We got the wonton soup first, lacked some flavored but was full of wontons and chicken chunks. Next, the app trio which included fried wonton ( one piece), arroz Chaufa ( cold), ceviche mixto and pollo a la brasa( also cold and lacked flavor). Then we got the lomo saltado which didn't even taste like authentic lomo saltado. Then the waiter forgot our desserts so he went to get it and wreaked a good 20 mins for ice cream and picarones( Peruvian doughnuts). Ice cream was amazing of course and the picarones were ok, didn't like the fact that only 3 came out in a portion and the sauce was just drizzled on top instead of on the side or on the plate. I really liked the ice cream, so I ordered 2 to go along either picarones... boy it was the biggest mistake I did. It took over an hour to get my order right. At first they only gave me one ice cream and they forgot to put the rest in my bag. They took it back and I only had 2 ice creams and no picarones! I'm glad I checked twice because they messed up big time, shouldn't have taken that long. The staff saw how pissed off I was so they offered me a drink to go... I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. I wish them the best of luck!

I passed this brand new store front while making a trip to Kora. Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisines so of course I had to order. The inside was very clean and pretty. It's a fast casual restaurant, where you order up front and get a # and they bring it to your table. I ordered to go. I got the half chicken platter which comes with salad and either a choice of fries or chicken fried rice. It was very well priced ($15) and when ordering I made sure my platter came with green aji sauce (which it did) and I didn't have to order it separately. My food came out in 10 minutes well packaged. I quickly looked in the bag to make sure the sauce was there. When I got home, I realized I got no green sauce. I was devastated because this is what makes the chicken delicious! The sauce cup I saw in the bag was the salad dressing. If I wasn't 1 hour away in LI, I would've went back because I was SO sad. Everything I did get- tasted very good. The chicken had good seasoning, the fried rice was good and the salad had more than just iceberg lettuce. If I had the green sauce this would've been a 5 star review.

I've been here about five times since they opened and overall, the food is great. I've tried the lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, and ceviche, and all were delicious. However, the chirimoya ice cream was definitely not chirimoya and wasn't good. One thing that really stands out is the sauce policy. I don't mind paying extra, but $1.50 for one small sauce is a bit much--especially since none are included with your meal. If you're Peruvian, you know sauces are essential! I still recommended this place to my friends, and they loved the lomo saltado too. But the next day, they ordered aeropuerto de pollo and were mistakenly given the aeropuerto especial (which includes shrimp). One of them is allergic to shrimp, so this could have been a very serious situation. Accuracy with orders is super important, especially when allergies are involved.

I've been to many Peruvian Restaurant and this res is by far the most beautiful. The menu was short and simple with all the best Peruvian dishes. My friends and I tried almost every thing on the menu and it was absolutely delicious, especially the chicken and best of all the price was so affordable. We will be back again.

OK, only had whole chicken to go so take with a grain of salt -but chicken incredibly salty. Then why 5 stars - lovely ambiance, nice people, seem really proud Peru heritage, a couple of books on Peru cuisine, Peru Andes displayed. The salt problem is easily sorted - generous 4 containers salsa verde. I prefer salsa blanca like Riko's same block so suggest add. Will def be back when family is in town to check out the menu-very very reasonable prices a real winner. Excellent addition to Sunnyside - best wishes!

Malo el lomo saltado y muy lento el servicio deben mejorar el sazón Muy bonito el lugar pero el plato que me tocó malo no parecía lomo saltado

I loved everything I got. The lomo saltado was delicious, and the portions of the flavorful ceviche were very generous. This is a fast CASUAL spot so keep that in mind, not a bougie city spot. I will come back again to try their chicken

Went there first time and it was a nice interior design once you walk in, the cashier was friendly and helpful showing me how the menu works. I ordered the chaufa pollo and it was very fulfilling and tasty. They give you a good portion to eat. Would definitely come again.
