This is a nouvelle fusion chifa Peruvian place, with pretensions of a nice interior. The aji de gallina is OK and some of the ceviche-related appetizers are OK but overall the place did not impress me. It’s not good enough to be a really good place and also has no mom n’ pop value. The short ribs were terrible and in general the more Chinese dishes were uninspired. There are worse fates than eating here, but most of all it convinced me that I should cook more often.
