I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

The…read moreelevator is straight from the entrance, and you'll see the sign that will instruct you to press "R". It's a small open air space, and it can get full right at dinner time, but if you go right as they open at 5pm, you'll be fine without reservations. The menu is limited, but it's all delicious! The Yuca Fries are a must! Fried and topped with chorizo. All of the sides sounded really good, but these are the best! The thigh meat chicken skewers are perfectly sauced, and can be ordered as an appetizer to be shared by two. All of the main dishes are meant to be shared. The prices are up there for the portions, but it's all a real treat for the taste buds, and the view is great! Highly recommend.

It's better to come right around when they open to escape the lines. Doesn't matter when you come, people will come in drones to eat this delicious food. They do a tasty Lomo Saltado ($22.75) and the portion size is MASSIVE, it could easily be shared among two people. I ate the whole thing and immediately entered a food coma and my belly was smiling..I swear. They bring a complimentary hot dinner roll with butter before they bring you your dish. The green aji verde is spot on, it's spicy, but not overly spicy and it has great flavor. Prepare to cover your food with this delicious sauce. I will definitely be back for Lomo Saltado and to try other dishes. FYI, There's a 3.5% charge for using a credit card, so pay cash and a save a bit.

And I mean she didn't come back at all. She was servicing everyone else around us, but us. Someone else noticed us looking around and ended up bringing the go box and our ticket. We paid $86 plus tip she didn't deserve for lomo saltado, pescado frito and shrimp cerviche. $100 for 2 people and couldn't even get a refill. I'm good with paying that price if the service reflected that. In conclusion food is good- but not good enough to pay the high prices and bad service.

Aguadito de pollo really tasted like a savory delicacy, tender chicken and a good deal at under $7 for a decent-sized cup. Overall, it's pricy but the dishes are delicious and thoughtfully made. Excited to eat some leftovers today.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.

I had heard so many good things about Pollo a la Brasa, so I finally decided to give it a try…read moretoday. Starting with the positives: the food is delicious. I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and gave me the kind of authentic Latin food vibes that I love. The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.

A must-go restaurant. Read on for deep dive stuff or if you love a good novel... Vibe - is casual, but in a sexy and a solid-date-spot way. The atmosphere is fun and colorful in unexpected ways, and every team member we interacted with was really, really nice and seemed genuinely dedicated and excited to be there. Food & Founder - The chef/founder is **world-famous** and the taste, quality, and depth/breadth of the menu reflects this. Don't even get me started on the flavors. I heard that he named it "the hummingbird" because when he was growing up in Peru, he would be like a hummingbird, going from experience to experience, picking up knowledge and expertise. I love that. New to Peru - A couple members of our group had never had Peruvian food (including myself!) but we were guided in what to order and all were INCREDIBLE. We were like, jumping in head-first, trying dishes that rewarded us with outstanding flavors and SUPER fresh ingredients. Peruvian Pros & Overall - I've seen a lot of reviews and social media from dedicated Peruvian food enthusiasts, experts etc. who all highly recommend The Hummingbird. So we know they love it/approve. And from a newbie to Peruvian food perspective, I too would recommend 100%. Just so impressed and excited that I can't wait to go back. If you made it this far, good for you! And in summary, The Hummingbird is a total gem.

The word of the day is FUNKY…read more 1. Food. It's at best a 4 star. My favorites were the grilled salmon and lomo saltado although both portions fit into the palm of my hand (Well, everything we ordered did so beware - who needs Ozempic when you can go here for dinner?). Ordered a few ceviches (king salmon, yellowtail, scallop) and was not impressed. It was fresh but exceptionally fresh. Flavors were okay, I expected to be more impressed by the fusion but it just felt performative. The quality of the fish does not match the prices they charge. The teas were great but they were also $14 each for like a grande cup portion from Starbucks. Also everything is non alcoholic except some random THC drink and like a beer? Funky. 2. Service. FUNKY AF. I made a reservation for a birthday for a party of 7 (you have to DM them on IG for parties 7+ btw) earlier in the day. They DMd me back saying no problem and changed my reservation to a party of 7 (it was previously at 6, the max). My party gets there at the reserved time. Upon entering, there was no greeting, no welcome. I felt like I entered some secret society where everyone's in on a secret except you. The server (tall male) eventually comes up to us and the first thing he says is that our reservation was changed to 5pm without notice and seemed to be blaming us for the mix up. The Opentable app doesn't even allow me to edit my reservation since edits for parties 6+ are not allowed. It must have been a worker here messing with the reservations and we got caught in the crossfire and they ended up blaming us. The cherry on top was that they never did anything for the birthday person nor even acknowledged his birthday. DO NOT come here for a celebration because your vibes will 100% be killed by the end of the night. The servers here give "I put an ad out on Craigslist and hired whoever showed up". Not sure any of them know what they're doing. We were seated for 15 min with no water. I had to flag them down since they were busy chatting and hanging out. The server with short blonde hair in a ponytail passive aggressively brings us water and then zero cups. Who brings jugs of water with no cups? Then we had to chase them down again to get cups. "Chase" them down since the restaurant is the size of a garage so clearly it was intentional they were not checking in. Everyone had sour attitudes the whole night as if they are not willingly employed here. 3. Ambiance. FUNKY!!! Do NOT be fooled by the videos guys. This place is like a run down, local dive bar trying to serve Michelin food. You can just FEEL the inauthenticity and performativeness of the place. This place is musty. It's on the corner with trash everywhere and a bus stop outside, and no parking so there's your first red flag. There's no central AC so prepare to suffer. They play loud and constantly genre-changing music that makes no sense. I tried to DM them on IG to get them to explain the reservation mix up and avoid writing this review and I'm currently on delivered for 12 hours - although they're quick to respond to a reservation request! I wish I could rewind time and tell my past self to avoid this place at all costs. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND and will never be returning. Holbox in DTLA puts this place to shame. Please go there instead of you're looking for fresh ceviche. The prices they charge actually match the quality of food and service. There are way too many better restaurants in LA for a place like this to continue to be in business. Good luck!

My friend and I shared the Lomo Saltado (filet mignon over a bed of rice with cherry tomato and onion with fries), Black Pepper Shrimp and siu mai. To drink I chose the Thai Basil Vanilla--almost like a Thai Vanilla iced latte! The Lomo Saltado was really good with rice. No notes here! The Black Pepper Shrimp was great too but had some heat, so not for someone who can't handle spicy especially on a hot summer day. I must say the prawns were huge! Super flavorful spices and went really well with the white rice. Siu Mai was great, kinda wished there were 4 instead of 3...had to be a bigger person and offer the last one to my friend haha! Now the decor was super cool. Loved the rich green velvet seating & the gold accent lighting fixtures. Although the seats weren't the comfiest, but it made a pretty IG photo ;) I shall return again, Chifa!
