We both ordered from the special seviche menu. Both meals were delicious. I had a problem about my credit card and the waitress was very patient and understanding. Low noise level. Attentive service.
Service and food always on point! We shared a lot of tapas, and while everything was good, the dancing yucas were the best!
Good spot if you are looking for a unique food experience .. the Peruvian and Chinese top hits are on the menu but it fun is in the fusion dishes The fried yuca will be gone before it hits the table so order two its that good.
Phenomenal Peruvian food with creative twists. We enjoyed the tasting menu, and left feeling overstuffed. Great pisco sours, too. The staff was very kind and easy to work with.
Did not look very the food. Interesting combinations but not really appealing to my tastes.
Food was fantastic. Noise level was off the charts. Very difficult to even hear the waitstaff. Table density is a big part of the problem- table are very close to one another.
We had some of the best Peruvian food that I've had anywhere outside of northern South America. We will return.
Great experience and wonderful food. Everything was fantastic and our server was exceptional.
I have absolutely adored China Chilcano since ~2016. I can't believe I haven't returned for a meal since around then. The ceviche remains exceptional. Let me not wait so long before I return for another meal.
I accidentally stumbled into this restaurant back in October as I was looking for a quick bite to eat on my way to the Shakespeare Theater. When I knew I was returning for another play, I began craving their “When Pigs Fly” pork barbecue steamed buns weeks ahead of time. I can't compliment them enough. This trip, it was quiet, the attention to detail was superb (we even got a personal visit from the chef when I mentioned a food allergy), and the food was fantastic. Thank you!

We had 2 Lunch in Lima. For starters we had: Papas (potato salad), dancing yucca (plantain with fish flakes), main: chicken stew (aj de gallina), donburi ji song (rice, red onions, root vege, avocado, peanut). For desserts: suspiro limera (mango sorbet with meringue - it looked like a birthday cake!)and ponderciones de kiwicha (banana, chocolate and crispy swirl). Beautifully displayed. We could happily have this for dinner. Delicious food. Great vegetarian range. Cool swivel chairs, tables good size. Quirky interior. Clean toilets, friendly staff, waiter and manager. They were kind to top up my water bottle. Thank you. I will definitely be returning.
Every time I come to DC I head to China Chilcano and bring those with me. Food reminds me of my time in Lima.
This was a wonderful experience. The food was amazing and flavorful, the fusion aspect was interesting and creative, and the staff were very helpful and informative. Would definitely recommend.
I invited a few friends to have lunch and this was their first time. They enjoyed the ambiance and the food but were unsure of what to order. If the waitress had offered recommendations to them then that would have been helpful.
The food presentation was gorgeous, service great. Food flavor wise I and family enjoyed 40 percent of the dishes and I love Peruvian food.
