If you're in the Miramar/Davie/Weston area and looking for Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, Chifa Du Kang is a fantastic option. This new location offers a casual and efficient dining experience with fresh, high-quality food cooked to order. It's worth the trip if you're nearby, but if you're closer to Pompano Beach and West Broward, Chifa Taypa (in Margate) might be just as good--or better--depending on the dish.
The Vibe
The atmosphere is casual and minimalistic with a fun touch--a wall of Inka Kola adds a little shine to the décor. It feels like a well-oiled chain restaurant: standardized, clean, and efficient. Servers wear headsets and use handheld devices to take orders, so service is quick and organized.
The Food
The menu is entirely Peruvian-Chinese (Chifa), so don't expect American-Chinese classics here. Everything is flavorful, with a unique spin that combines retro Chinese food vibes with Peruvian flavors. The menu has full descriptions and pictures, making it easy to choose.
Here's what we tried:
Soy Kao Frito (Fried Dumplings): A must-try! Shrimp and pork dumplings, perfectly fried and served with a unique sweet lemon-cinnamon dipping sauce. These were the standout dish of the meal.
Egg Rolls: Homemade, but not particularly memorable. A standard pork and cabbage filling--good, but not great.
Sopa de Wantan (Wonton Soup): Light broth with a touch of ginger, filled with wontons, chicken, roast pork, and veggies. Tasty, but we'll try the Wantan Especial next time (which adds shrimp and quail eggs).
Chaufa Especial (Special Fried Rice): Solid, flavorful fried rice, but we prefer the version at Chifa Taypa--it has chunkier pork and better seasoning.
Carne de Res con Freijolito Chino (Beef with Bean Sprouts): Surprisingly good! Tender beef, crunchy sprouts, and a delicious soy-based stir-fry sauce.
For dessert, we grabbed Lucuma ice cream (a caramel-like fruit flavor) from their freezer by the front--definitely worth it!
Other Details
They make many items (like dumplings) at their Miami factory to ensure consistency across locations.
An automatic 13% tip is added to the bill, but you can add more if you'd like. Quick service--despite being busy, we were in and out in under an hour!
Bottom Line
Chifa Du Kang delivers fresh, flavorful food with efficient service. If you're local to the area, it's a great option for exploring Chifa cuisine. While it doesn't have the family-run charm of Chifa Taypa, it's still worth a visit for its unique dishes--especially...
Read moreThis is a Chinese style Peruvian restaurant. The menu is mainly Peruvian dishes but cooked Chinese style, but there are Chinese dishes as well. I went on a rainy Sunday afternoon around 3-4pm and it was pretty busy, but they were able to seat us (group of 6) fairly quickly. The service was good considering how busy it was but the place was kind of noisy (granted it was full) and it was a little hot(lots of body heat I guess?). I had the mixed veggie stir-fry noodles which were good, the noodles were cooked well and the veggies were delicious. However, my only complaint is that the noodles lacked flavor, it seemed to me like they just barely stir fried the noodles in the sauce and then put it on the plate. I should note that the service once seated was quick, which is good! All of our food came out relatively at the same time and we did not wait too long, which is impressive since it was a full house. Defintely don't come here expecting a typical Peruvian restaurant, and that's not a bad thing. Overall it was good to try, but it wasn't...
Read moreWe were in Miramar, FL visiting family for two days and stumbled upon Chifa Du Kang by accident on our last night, just 15 minutes before they were about to close. What a hidden gem! The experience was incredible from start to finish. The sopa wantan was out of this world, and it instantly took me back to when I lived in Peru 26 years ago – the flavors were so authentic and comforting.
We also tried the combo plate for two, which included chaufa, fried wontons, and chicken with noodles (I can’t remember the name, but it was amazing!). Everything was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. As a huge fan of Ceviche 105, I have to admit that their arroz chaufa was even better than what I’ve had there!
The quality of food, the service, and the authentic Peruvian taste made this one of the best chifa meals I’ve had outside of Lima. Please, Chifa Du Kang, bring your delicious food to Houston – we have zero Peruvian restaurants that are even close to this good! You’ve definitely earned a...
