While I will always miss the Malaysian place which was previously here, Chifa Peru was a pleasant surprise! It's a quiet place and not too big, but based on the cook of the three dishes we'd definitely recommend it. We had only once before had Peruvian, but the Fish Ceviche was a definite hit! The corn elements with the lightest hit of habanero in the juice really set off the chunks of fish quite nicely.
This paired nicely with the Tallarin Saltado con Vegetales (mixed veggie stir fry) - you really get the smoky wok hei flavor in the veggies and noodles both with the crisp of the vegetables and the nice chew in the noodles. It was a great relaxed flavor to alternate against the hit of the ceviche tang.
We lastly had the Chaufa de Pato (duck fried rice), which we were amazed to find came out similar to Filipino lechon - decadent, and boneless to boot!!! Again another instance of good wok hei, and one of the better fried rice dishes we've had in the area.
If you like a spicy hit, don't be afraid to ask for some hot sauce!

Read moreCall or order in person, they had a hiccup with their online ordering today, though it wasnt an issue for me.
Chifa is a Peruvian-Chinese cuisine that mixes Chinese dishes with Peru ingredients. The name itself originates from the Chinese word "chi-faan", "to eat". The main iconic dish is Chaufa, which is also a play on the Chinese word "chao-faan", "fried rice". Look for the subtle differences between the Texas fried rice and the Peruvian fried rice! Order the Chaufa Amazonico which is like a combo fried rice platter.
I also ordered the anticucho (beef skewers), taypa special (similar to the happy family or triple delight dish), egg rolls, and chicha morada (purple corn drink). Would highly recommend the fried rice,...
