Brasa Peruvian Kitchen — Restaurant in Toronto

Absolutely love Brasa. Before I get into the review I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Juan, who was the kindest, most helpful and enthusiastic employee. He helped me build my own bowl full of Peruvian superfoods, and you can tell he’s extremely passionate and hard working. He made the entire ordering process so smooth and seamless- My bowl was 10/10. I cannot wait to be back!

Had the best experience at this location. I’ll always support Brasa because they use clean and pure ingredients. Everything is all natural and so unique. I highly recommend their Brasa Chicken Bowl with Mixed Greens and Potatoes, and any of their smoothies.

So thankful for places like these that allow us to eat healthy, one of a kind meals, while feeling nourished. I’m obsessed with Peruvian superfoods!

I truly have the utmost respect for this brand and its employees. You can tell the company truly cares for its employees and is passionate about the food and experience they serve. I recommend checking out their Instagram to learn more about what makes this brand so unique!!

Cannot wait to be back...

Brasa has been my go-to spot for food whenever I'm in the Queen West neighbourhood. However, my last visit was rather disappointing.

Upon arrival, the restaurant was silent and empty- no music or anything. I was looking for recommendations, since I get the same bowl everytime. I asked the employee questions like what "maca root" was and she told me it was "a root from peru". I had to further ask her to explain and describe the taste. In addition, I asked for mote or "giant corn" and she gave me regular corn, with very few mote cut in half... looks like they were running out but did not want to disclose that. I also wanted to order a smoothie, but she said they were all sold out... it was 12pm on a Sunday afternoon. The business opens at 11!

Maybe I caught them on a bad day, however previous visits have been rather pleasant. I felt like the quality and vibes were severely lacking on this day...quite unfortunate as you are paying at least $15...

Is this half empty bowl worth $20? I was shocked when I received the food today… there were only 6 pieces of chicken… and 5 pieces of sides each, majority of the food in my bowl is rice.

In addition, the potatoes and chicken don’t taste fresh. They tastes like they are overnight food. The chicken is cold and dry, and potato skin is soggy and tastes stale. I remember when it first opened, I love the potatoes so much that I would order extra on the side. Now I don’t even bother because it’s been consistently bad.

I used to love this place, the portion, the employees, the atmosphere, the food quality everything. But lately the young lady always only gave me little to no food. Is her performance based on how little food she can give to customers?? It’s so disappointing as someone who’s been here since day 1 but being turned away due to bad operations.

If you wanna eat here you might as well go to chipotle next door. Way more food and only...
