Chifa Peruvian Cuisine Don Jose — Restaurant in Doral

i think i never really leave reviews on anything, but this place particularly took the cake. i’m never coming back again. it was a real disgrace of peruvian food. my first reaction was that the place was really dirty and messy. i thought maybe the food wouldn’t be as bad and to not be so critical of it. but oh my god it was bad… honestly with the front looking that bad, i wouldn’t want to imagine what the back kitchen looks like. i don’t know what these people are doing but someone needs to do an inspection asap. i got the lomo saltado because I wanted a safer option, and there was so many things on the menu! a restaurant that doesn’t get a lot of traffic should NEVERRR have that much food for you to pick from. a lot of it i imagine could be old, rotten, and just overall not fresh. and the food in fact did not taste fresh! i don’t know what they were doing but when i got my food it was cold, and the meat tasted….. not like meat and sort of tangy… honestly im positive there was pork in there and we asked the lady if it did and she said they made them like that, too! my rice was dry and tasteless. the fries felt cheaply store bought but the tangy taste of the meat overpowered it, so i couldn’t really taste it much. i’m also pretty sure one of the sodas we got was expired because it tasted like medicine and the expiration date was rubbed off. and the ceviche might’ve been the tastiest but it was really salty and i don’t think marinated long enough in the lemon juice. honestly i have so many negative things to say about this place, and don’t even get me started on how expensive it was in. this place is not worth it!!!!!!! i can say this confidently because i’ve worked in the food industry and … that’s not what it’s supposed to look like. gordon ramsay taught me...

I have been ordering from this place for a long time each time I am at my sister's house in Miami, but only using the apps Uber eats, and grub hub this occasion was the first time I could go to the restaurant and have a nice meal.

I order the Lomo Saltado with fried rice which is my go-to-go order each time I used the app.

Lomo Salteado is a popular, traditional Peruvian dish, a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes, French fries, and other ingredients; and is typically served with white rice but on this place, you can find it with Chaufa to my surprised which is fried rice from Peru. The Chaufa consists of a mix of fried rice with vegetables, usually including scallions, eggs, and meat, quickly cooked at a high flame, often in a wok with soy sauce and oil. The rice was cooked perfectly had a good taste and the portion was very generous, the sirloin was super tender and juicy clearly this is the soy sauce talking lol, the french fries were good crunchy not saggy with is good.

Services could be better but the food was fire so I can recommend...

I used to love this place. I have been a costumer since 2010. Back then the flavor was amazing. The owner and back then wife with his mother in law use to run the place. They always included the tip but the portions were appropriate to the price range. Now he has minimized the food portions significantly and has higher the prices. Plus also including tip. I no longer eat inside. The only thing good enough there is the tallarín tay-pa. The way they make is amazing. When I want to have one I just order to pick up or Uber eats. Sometimes I have the papa a la huancaina that is not bad. They have always had crappy service. Reason why I no longer eat there the prices are way to high, bad food portions, not so good service plus add a ridiculous amount of tip with the service not being so good. Sad to see a good place lower there...
