    Appetizer- Egg Rolls with a Tamarind Suace. ( 7.5 / 10 )
    Mike R.

    This place just opened a few weeks ago and it looked interesting. I learned "Chifa" is Chinese Peruvian Fusion food. It's not your traditional Chinese food but the dishes we tried today were very tasty. The staff were all very friendly and the food came out in about 15 minutes. They have a lunch menu aside from the main entrees. These are the different styles of dishes they have... ( Chaufa- Fried Rice )( Tallarin- Stir Noodles )( Salados - Savory Dishes )( Dulces- Sweet Dishes) Chef's Specials, Appetizers, Hot Soups and a few Deserts. They have a few outdoor tables along with plenty of free parking. This is definitely a good spot to go to of you're in Mt. Juliet.

    Decided to check this place out due to it being a new concept for our taste pallets. Personally, I have never had Peruvian Chinese Wok. The service was attentive and sweet. When we walked in they had a 45 minute wait but felt like we only had to wait for 30 minutes for our food. We ordered Chicharron de Pollo, Lemonkay, Lomo Saltado, Sopa Ya-Chau and Maracuya. They instantly brought us over our drinks. To my surprise they were in a shot glass. The serving size was extremely small for four dollars and some change. The drink itself was delicious but wish I had more. Soon after all our food started coming in. My favorite of them all was the Lomo Saltado. I enjoyed it so much because it was the one with the most flavor. It was hearty and filling. Everything else we received was good, but not great. The rest of the food needed more flavor, more seasoning perhaps. This place has just opened and we're planning on making the trek back in a couple of months to see if anything changes.

    Visiting the Nashville area, or driving through I-40. This is a must stop at location! In our 3 years in the Bay Area which is immersed in Asian food culture, we sadly never had an option for Chifa. Chifa is a Peruvian version of Chinese food. Peru may not be in Asia, however this is a HUGE cultural cuisine in Peru and incredibly authentic. We tried many Chifa's in Peru but none hit like in Chinatown Lima. This IS the SPOT. Chifa Ya Chau reminds us of exactly Chinatown flavors. The entire Nashville Metro area is incredibly lucky to have such an authentic restaurant. ¡Nada más que rico su Chifita!

    Opening Day, and they did great! This restaurant is fantastic, and unlike anything else in Mt. Juliet. Very clean (it's brand new), plenty of seating and a whole host of food you've probably never heard of! It's located on the end of the strip mall, giving them a drive-thru and plenty of parking. I stopped in for lunch and had no problems. You can either order at the counter or sit at a table and a server will be by (this was somewhat confusing as the only sign is "Order Here"). I had the Chaufa and Chijaukay lunch combo with an egg roll. The Chaufa is a lightly fried rice similar to the Chinese version but a different flavor profile. The Chijaukay is super crispy fried chicken chunks smothered (not coated) in a sticky/sweet soy-based glaze. The egg rolls on their own are great, but the tamarind dipping sauce elevates them to a whole new level. It's familiar food prepared in an unfamiliar way, and it was absolutely delicious! Looking forward to the Lomo Saltado next time.

    The food and service here was fantastic. We were sat right away and the gentleman working brought us shots of different Peruvian juices which were delicious I guess in place of a bread service. We then ordered the Tipakay with Fried Rice and the Tallarin Calisco. Both were served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The gentleman then brought us different in house made sauces and a in house chili oil we could pair our dishes with. It just added even more flavor. For as much as people complain about chains, this place is original, delicious, and has amazing service. I'm so glad to support them going forward!

    Delicious food. Definitely very busy, understandably, but very friendly staff. Really helpful with the menu. I love that I can call in take out too.

He was really excited to go so we made a 30 minute drive to load up on some dumplings. My first impression was that the place was clean and bright with lots of seating. We were greeted nicely and we sat down to discuss what we wanted before ordering at the register. Disney music played on the speakers the entire time and even me, a Disney-adult, I was over it after having to hear Let it Go twice in a row. We ordered quite the spread: one beef gua bao, one order of chicken & cabbage handcrafted dumplings, one pork belly rice, one chicken gua bao, one zha jiang noodles, soup dumplings, and Thai iced tea, and one jasmine milk tea. In total, with tax and tip, we spent nearly $75. Now, we wouldn't stick our nose up to spending our hard-earned money to get our grub on, however, we felt like we didn't get our money's worth here. The food was just okay. My favorite thing was the beef gua bao and I would absolutely get that one again. The Thai tea was delicious, and the chicken and cabbage dumplings were decent. My husband surprisingly loved the chicken gua bao the most and I really enjoyed it, too. But for the more expensive items like the noodles and rice bowl, they were *fine.* My rice barely had any sauce on them and minimal pieces of pork belly. The soup dumplings, though prepared nicely, were not very flavorful at all. The jasmine milk tea? Probably the worst I've ever had. My husband liked his noodles but I was not crazy about them, they had a very greasy texture to them and the mouth feel was like I was so thirsty at the mechanic that I took a swig of their synthetic motor oil. Now I will say that the employees here are very nice and they bring the food out to you as the dishes are made. Overall, I wasn't impressed with Steamboys except for their beef gua bao and Thai tea. The price didn't match the flavor for the entire meal, so we won't be going back. Service: 10/10 Food: 5/10 (the gua baos and Thai tea are the best) Drinks: 7/10

Juliet, TN, looks much the same on the outside as many other take away places, but we couldn't be more wrong! This restaurant has, hands down, the BEST Asian cuisine we've had in the metro Nashville area. From portion size, to the thoughtful service, to the freshest dishes undoubtedly made with love- one is left feeling less like a customer and more like family. One thing that my wife and I couldn't wrap our heads around was why in the world all of Nashville isn't packing this place daily? All we could gather is that it is so unassuming that people don't even know what they have in their own backyard. Do yourself a favor; GO! You'll be thanking me later for the tastiest, most home made flavors that are sure to become must-haves. A+, guys! Well done, and we'll see you again very soon!

I should also mention this place serves hot Jasmine tea, which not many Chinese places offer. Everything you could want from a traditional Chinese restaurant is offered here.

Peking has quite the positive reviews overall so we decided to try them out by doing pick-up. It's so refreshing living in a town that everything is opened past 8pm. Our go-to Chinese restaurant back in NC closed at 7pm, so this was a nice treat. My husband went inside to get our order, which was made very quickly. The building definitely looks on the older side and parking is only one way, which was confusing at first. I ordered the pork fried rice, egg drop soup, and wonton soup for myself and my husband ordered chow mein, lo mein, and we shared beef with broccoli, something else I've been craving. The food in general was okay, some outstanding more than others. His lo mein was delicious and my egg drop soup was honestly the BEST egg drop soup I have ever had. It was more broth-y than the standard Chinese restaurant's version and it had a few carrot strips and green onions in it. The pork fried rice was probably the biggest let down. There were no veggies in it and have very little flavor. The wonton soup's broth was nice but the wontons themselves were borderline flavorless. It was very hit or miss with everything we ordered. My husband and I have both been having stomach cramps the past two days since ordering here, both day of and from leftovers. It's unfortunate but we will have to continue to look for our next go-to Chinese restaurant.
