Chifa Union Peruvian Restaurant

This place has delicious food. But unfortunately due to the lack of service I give this only 4 stars. Also beware of the check because they will hide more things on it.
The food is good, actual Chinese — Peruvian the taste is delicious. We tried the fried rice and wonton soup as well as the Fuchi Foo. The papaya juice was not good though so don’t order that. Also they didn’t have the Peruvian ice cream we thought they served.
The food overall was good but not the service.
The girl who was serving us never actually talked. I don’t think I even heard her. She was a little slow and very shy. Even though the food was made quick she took her time getting to it and serving it.
The place was a bit small but not too run down. The experience with food and all was great but they need friendlier servers.

Ordered lunch from here today, a lomo saltado.
Delivery didn’t take too long, the food was okay nothing spectacular but i would probably eat here again. eventually
the only thing i found weird was they put peas in the lomo saltado, I have never seen that before, not a big fan of that but its not a deal breaker lol

Decent food. Terrible service. Don’t waste your money.

Fresh, tasty, copious colorful food with a great deal of variety. For those of us who remember old school Chinese-​American food, this is reminiscent, yet with a lot of twists. Everything — the vegetables, the meat, the fish — is superfresh and well-​cooked. Really satisfying.

We live a block and a half so know this place well. The lomo saltado and jalea are really good, but don’t order the rice with the lomo or they will give you one fourth the amount of meat and charge you more. The chicha morada and alfamajores are also very good when they have it. Here’s the problem… these people will cheat you every chance they get. Make sure you look at the prices and total everything up in your head first. Every freaking time we go we have to argue about the price. Make sure you count your change too. They are very brazen and will argue with you, hoping you will back down. Don’t go if you’re the non-​confrontational type. If you don’t mind keeping them in check, though the dishes I mentioned are worth the hastle!

I had high expectations after reading reviews in the edible Queens magazine and on the Serious Eats website and was disappointed. The service was a little slow, especially for a Friday night. There were 2 – 3 other tables there.
I’ve never had chinese-​peruvian food and didn’t know what to expect, maybe I didn’t order the right thing? I ordered the Egg Drop Soup (one article stated it was egg drop soup on crack). It was definitely interesting, with roast pork and dark-​meat chicken in it, vermicelli glass noodles, scallions, and cabbage. But the overall flavor of the soup seemed somewhere in-​between and lacking. Same for the Chi jau kay that was recommended. It took a long time waiting for this dish. The chicken was breaded and cooked perfectly, but the light brown sauce that it was sitting on top of was neither too salty or sweet. It seemed slightly flavored by soy sauce, but nothing that called to mind the rich flavors of latin cooking– or chinese actually.
My friend ordered the pork chops with tamarind sauce. What she got was sliced roast bbq (chinese style) pork with a sort of red sweet & sour sauce on top and peach halves, sauteed with pea pods. Not what we expected, and no tamarind flavor. I’m wondering if they ran out of pork chops. The fried plantains were good, and their green sauce that accompanies each meal was Awesome– just spicy enough, but very flavorful. I wish the food was the same.
They ran out of the chica moradao, I was looking forward to it.
I’d like to come back for lunch and try their rotisserie chicken, but there are other places that are move convenient, if you’re just going for the rotisserie chicken.
Getting here wasn’t too difficult, take the R to Grand Ave, and catch the Q58. It drops you right in front of the restaurant. The neighborhood doesn’t seem to have much else going on (apparently it’s Corona, but bordering Elmhurst), glad I didn’t walk.

I came here after reading about this place in some free magazine. The food was great and I felt like I really was in Perú, having ate Chifa in Peru many times. Despite what others said maybe it was an off day but everytime I have gone the food was served to me quickly. They even serve desserts I can never find anywhere else. To me this place is a little taste of home and reminds me of when my grandmother use to cook Dinner.

To be honest, I did not eat here. But, I got a chicha morada to go and it was much better than I expected. You could really taste the cinnamon in there. They have large jars of the stuff in the refrigerator at the counter, and you can also get mazamorra morada to go.

This place was well worth the journey on a rainy spring night. I was a little ambivalent about the trek after a long day and starting dinner nearly at 9, but once we ordered the food made it all worth it.
We ordered the sopa fuchi fu, best described by Edible Queens as egg drop soup on steroids with chicken and noodles and lots of cilantro; the kimlau wonton, a bold take on sweet and sour with heavily fried chunks of «wonton», snow peas, peaches AND pineapple; the chiu jau kay, a lightly fried chicken dish with a dense, mysterious batter, and last but not least, the special fried rice, a friendly and unassuming crowd pleaser.
Yet another one of the myriad reasons Queens and NYC by default is such an amazing place.

Went here the other night. Recently returned from a trip to Peru and was greatly missing a good helping Chifa (Peruvian chinese) The food took way longer than I would have liked. Even after waiting so long, they still brought the 2 dishes I ordered 10 minutes apart from each other. Overall pretty good, maybe a little on the salty side. Spent $ 27 on our two drinks and two dishes. Not a bad deal… if you like bubble gum flavored soda, don’t miss out on Inka cola!
