Higo Peru — Restaurant in Rowland Heights

Review Visit that restaurant on Saturday, 9/27, approximately 6 p.m.

1. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and clean.

2. Maria, our waitress, was extremely professional and helpful. She was always checking on our food and taking care of our tables. Excellent service.

3. About the food:

Lomo saltado was excellent.

Tallarin Saltado: It was incredibly nice and flavorful

Arroz Chaufa: IT WAS SO BAD, TASTE SWEET LIKE SOMEONE PUT SUGAR OR SWEET FLAVOR ON THE RICE THAT WAS NOT ARROZ CHAUFA. WE ALL ON THE TABLE TASTE IT AND IT WAS SO BAD WE ENDED UP RETURNING THE PLATE. ( it was missing the soy sauce, no salty flavor , it taste like cinnamon the chef has probably never made this Peruvian plate

ABOUT THE SERVICE: " Brandon" is the worst waiter and will bring a negative reputation to the restaurant. We requested for two glasses of water and he ignored us; the second time we asked for two glasses of water, he did not deliver the glasses; and finally, the third time I asked, "Can you get us water, please?" why are you ignoring us ?

"BRANDON, RESPOND TO US!! I AM NOT YOUR WAITER!!! (KEEP IN MIND THE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY; THERE WERE ONLY 6 OF US AND 1 GUY ALONE ON A TABLE AND A COUPLE THAT JUST ARRIVED) he was doing nothing but walking around there were not customers and it was empty the restaurant for this Employee to not give us water!!!!

BRANDON THE MALE WAITER!!!! : NEVER brought us two cups of water, and he was upset that we had requested for water by saying "NO IM NOT YOUR WAITER," he gave us bad attitude, and rolling his eyes. can you believe it ? he was mad we had been asking for water?!!! while the other poor girl, Maria, was running around taking orders and serving our table.

This water, Brandon!!! IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER TO SAY THAT TO CUSTOMERS MAKES YOU NEVER WANT TO RETURN!! THIS PERSON PROVIDED HORRIBLE SERVICE.

We are regular customers. WE GO INTO THE RESTAURANT TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND ORDER FOR PICK-UP EVERY TIME!! Employees like Brandon can lead to customer loss due to their lack of skills and failure to assist others in completing orders efficiently. I continued to observe him, and he is not a team player.

A TERRIBLE ATTITUDE BY ONE EMPLOYEE CAN DRIVE YOUR BUSINESS AWAY. ONE THING I KNOW I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN !! I DONT NEED THAT TYPE OF WAITER MAKES US FEEL BAD.

To the manager : that employee Brandon walks around does not do anything I was watching him the entire time and he was not helping Maria knowing she was busy running around with orders helping that girl was doing all the work and he was just walking like he was the owner!!! YOU WILL LOSE CUSTOMERS WITH A PERSON LIKE THAT IN...

New ownership. Now only Peruvian food no more Japanese. Also increased the price, small portions and very expensive for what you get.

Came here for a quick grub one day I noticed that it's actually a sitdown restaurant not a fast casual restaurant. We ordered two items to share. The whitefish ceviche. had good flavor, but the portion size was tiny. And it comes with nothing, usually ceviche comes with plantain chips. The other pasta dish was very mediocre at best and for almost $20. There was very little substance in it. Mostly pasta very little meat and other ingredients. the restaurant also screwed up our order and charged us for plantain chips and we didn't get any.

Overall, not a very pleasant experience, will not...

I recently visited Higo Peru while in Los Angeles from El Paso, Texas, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere and inviting staff made me feel right at home. The food was nothing short of exceptional—every dish felt like a trip to Peru. The Lomo Saltado was perfectly seasoned, with tender beef and crispy fries soaking up the rich sauce. Whether you're a local or just passing through Los Angeles, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning on...
