Love love love this Peruvian spot!! I recently visited Chios and I had their Vegetarian lomo saltado. Wow!! Just wow. It was amazing, tasted exactly like the original but without meat! So so good. read more

Chio's Peruvian Grill - Lomo Saltado Sooooo yummy! - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Pollo a la parilla, the chicken was too dry... and the papa a la huancaina was nasty. On top of that they charge 8.99 for shitty food.

Let's start off with the fact that I am Peruvian and I've had amazing Peruvian food my whole life. This place does not disappoint. The cheviche chios style is DELICIOUS! The pollo la brasa is AMAZING. The seco del cordero is juicy and falls off the bone. Everything I've tried is delicious. At first the had an issue with being understaffed but the last couple of times I've been here the problem has been resolved. Delicious! P.S-park in the street because their parking is a little difficult. read more

The lomo saltado was not the best I've had and the seafood of the ceviche mixto was bland/tasteless. Very disappointing although edible. The service, however, was terrible. We sat there for 20 minutes and had to get up twice: once to get their attention, the next to get a second waiter because the first one forgot; they were just standing by the register talking among themselves. Our order was wrong, they brought the appetizer before the meal. I had to ask for a glass of water three times. Too bad, we gave them a second chance because we had been when the place opened any it was half as bad. Now, they have gotten worse. Not worth their prices parking hustle. read more

We love this place!! We don't even mind driving an hour to go and eat their delicious food! Sometimesvis hard to find a parking spot but you forget about that once they bring the food lol. read more

Love this place. Probably my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the valley. My boyfriend is Peruvian and he says that this restaurant is one of the better ones. Their staff is very nice. Their food is excellent and delicious! My favorite is the Piqueo Marino. read more

Chio's Peruvian Grill - Piqueo Marino. My absolute favorite. So good! If you love seafood or Peruvian ceviche this is the way to go. - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

POOR SERVICE. Placed an order for several dishes. One of the dishes they couldn't fulfill because they didn't have it so I told the waitress to please cancel it as we ordered more than enough food for a party of 3, she then stated that she could not cancel the order and they would give me something similar. In some cases I understand not wanting to cancel an order, however, you didn't have what I requested so it would have been appropriate to cancel it. I'm not one to make a fuss so I said fine. Don't bother telling them how you want your meat cooked because it only comes overcooked. Also, be prepared to pay an additional 3% of your total if you pay with a card, a heads up would've been nice. AVOID this location read more

Chios was recommended to us as we're new in town. We tried the octopus and beef hearts and was completely blown away. These guys take pride in their cooking and really know what they're doing. The hearts were cooked medium and flavored very nicely. They weren't too chewy and neither was the octopus. The octopus was so tender and the sauce they used for this was just so perfect. We took some to go and the night day it was even better, ha! We tried 5 different homemade sauces during this meal and they were all amazing. Prices are totally reasonable for the quality of food you get here. Service staff were friendly, parking wasn't terrible and for a weekend evening it wasn't too busy. We're back for more to try to rotisserie chicken and lamb shank as I write this! read more

Tender, juicy meat...creamy pasta sauce and crispy chicken...this place is bomb!!! The spot is small but cute, the staff is very friendly and didn't mind that we came only 30 min before closing. They made our food fresh to order and it was amazing. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Got the sample plates and the seafood and lomo/pollo were amazing. Enjoyed all dishes

Great food, my favorite dish to order on the menu is the copa. It is so filling and good. From the few times I've come it's has gotten really busy so be patient the food is worth the wait. Gives you more time to chat with your friends. read more

Amazing chef, fresh food friendly service. We always get the pulpo (grilled octopus) with this magical sauce, still can't figure out what's in it. Steak is great too! read more

Twice I tried to eat here: First time: no parking, had to park 2 blocks away, when i got in: no place to sit (waiting time 15 to 20 minutes). So i left. Second time 3 weeks later: same no parking, had to park one block away and jay walk (risking a $250 ticket). Once I got in there were tables available, I was thinking: how nice, I sat down and waited.......and waited, after 5 minutes when nobody came to my table, I left. Third time: there won't be a third time, only a stupid human trips on the same rock three times. read more

Food: 5 stars Service: 4 stars Location: 3 stars My husband and I have eaten Peruvian food all over Los Angeles. This was one of the best !!! Service was good but understaffed, they did their best and were friendly. Nice and comfortable interior setting, but the location was unexpected compared to the amazing meal we had. read more

This was an amazing meal. I had the Busteca de Pobre. Incredible. Cooked/seasoned perfectly. Served over fries, side of steamed rice and sweet plantains. Simple but oh so delicious. Our server was over worked *the only one in a very crowded place* but never let it get her flummoxed. Loved this restsurant. read more

Love their lomo saltado!!!! Service is a little slow, but food is otherwise amaZing. Their chi Cha morada is a unique drink you must taste!!! One thing I dislike is that they don't have a kids menu!!! So it's tough get something for your kids without buying them a huge portion of chicken. read more

I was hoping for a better dinner. Presentation is good but their food is extremely salty. Both my husband and I were unable to eat our food the saltiness was overwhelming. No use in getting a to go box if I was going to throw it in the trash. I wish my experience would have been different it's a clean and nice little place but I doubt we will be back. I really hope the Chef realizes the food does NOT need all that salt. Service was good but unfortunately the food was NOT. read more

Of all the Peruvian restaurants that I've been to in the valley right now this would be my least favorite it's really expensive food for bad proportioned food The taste in the Lomo saltado was not there my mom makes it better the alpha Horus we're definitely not good they were missing the flavor and the steak was very chewy not tender the broth wasn't good as well won't be returning don't recommend it read more

My friend and I shared the Pulpo a la Parrilla (Grilled octopus dish) and it was so delicious and cooked very well. It was brought to us on a sizzling skillet, topped with this delicious orange sauce (wish I knew what it was). Our server was very friendly and our food arrived in a timely manner. Will definitely come again, especially for the octopus. read more

Can't leave 0 stars, ssssooooooooo... Food can get 5 stars IMO. Food is great! Service SUCKS. Been waiting for over 20 minutes for my check, still no check. Not even close to being a full house, and there's 3 servers. HORRIBLE service. read more

Chio's Peruvian Grill - Choros - Peruvian Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I've been coming to this place since they've opened their food is pretty decent the service is probably the worst in the valley most of the people there do not speak a word of English and very poor Spanish as well. Every month they have a price increment by at least 30% some menu dishes I used to buy for $10 are now $15 on their menu this restaurant needs to get off the high horse ASAP before they start losing all the customers wake up people were not in Beverly Hills read more

Well, my wife and I were looking for a place to eat some good Peruvian food. We.found Chios Peruvian food on Sepulveda and Stagg. We were helped by Betty and Iris who show us different options in the menu. Excellent service received. We tried Lomo saltado, ceviche de pescado and Anticuchos. Delicious. Definitely we will come back. Thank you Betty and Iris it was great to meet you. read more

Food is not that great . I had the fish Saltado but the fish was deep fried which in not visible on the menu therefore the Saltado was pretty dry . The 2 friends I was with had the mariscos and the lomo Salgado they enjoyed their food but we all agreed we had better before.. Service was very, very attentive on the other hand to a point where I wondered if the waitress was the owner? Also restaurant was empty at 8.30 pm on a weekday , Lucy's on victory is always full . A few people mingled in but I guess that's an indication that food is not that good. Restaurant is nice and clean and because of the service I would come back if the owner would just be more attentive and make sure food is better. OH the green sauce that is my ultimate favorite was very bad, didnt taste like the green sauce anywhere else. The peruvian beans on the other hand were 4.5 stars. Could have been 5 but lacked a bit of salt . read more

Terrible service. We didn't receive our food until 30 minutes. First dish came out 10 minutes before the rest. First dish was the wrong order. Second order came out alone. Third order was wrong as well. By the time they fixed the orders, our first member was already finished with the food. Grilled chicken is very bland. Steak is tough. French fries are soggy and oily. We will not return. Very disappointed read more

Nice little steakhouse spot, loved it the servers were very attentive and had a nice layout, would recommend for anybody that want some good steamed steak and some tasty rice nice spice oriented and proffesional food couldn't ask for a better experience good amount of layout on the menu also heard the pollo a la brasa was good can't wait to come back and try more new things. Went with one of my Peruvian friends he showed me and catered me to a lot of food also enjoyed the Inca Cola they have, different from Coca Cola with a yellow liquid would recommend as a different type of drink other than just water and Coca Cola. I got the lomo Saltado it's a plate with tender beef strips smoked tomato and onion with some steamed rice and French fries left with good satisfaction and enjoyed their bread as well. Recommend for a couple to eat. read more

Service is soso Rice is salty, but tasty Chicken is cooked right, good flavor. Plantains are perfectly cooked! Over all it alllright!! read more

After a long hot day108 degrees in Van Nuys at the Japanese garden. Wifey wanted to eat something lite and fresh...so she found this jewel on yelp. The parking lot is interesting. .but sometimes it doesn't matter. Especially when the food is awesome. The passion fruit drink was refreshing. ..i recommend the get the pitcher. Originally I intended to order la copa de mariscos, but Wifey wanted the Piqueo Marino aka the sampler platter. Our server suggested that we get the platter. I thanked him for the suggestion. It was an amazing experience. Everything was so fresh and great texture. The fish was firm and flavorful. This is now my top favorite of Peruvian restaurants. read more

Don't come here if you are in a wheelchair like me... not at all friendly to the handicapped. When I went it was close to their grand opening. As I approached the door, I could see 3 waiters standing by a booth and a man seated (manager or owner) with the one customer. As I wrestled with the door, all 3 waiters looked at me and then went back to offering suggestions to the customer. It seems he wanted some big event catered and it took the manager/owner and 3 waiters to help. The tables and chairs were right up to the door so I could not come in any further. After about 5 minutes one waiter comes over and asks me what I want. I tell him I want to eat and he looks surprised (I guess he figured I was there to ask for a hand out). He moves a bunch of chairs and seats me next to the customer who wants catering. I flag one of the waiters and ask for a menu. What I get could hardly be called a menu, it had pictures but the descriptions were not in English (I know a little Spanish so I can order food when in Mexico, but did not recognize many of the words on the menu). For 15 min I am trying to get their attention (they are hovering at the booth next to my table). A waiter comes over and asks if I am ready to order. I ask for a description of the food since the menu is not in English. I get the old eye roll and the guy starts rushing through his descriptions. I ask for clarification and he says he does not know but he was trying to advise a catering customer? He goes back to the animated conversation (that is in Spanish and another language). I decided to leave and no one tries to help me with the door or even ask why I am leaving. Hell of a way to treat customers during your grand opening. It was not as if the place was packed. I was the only one there except for the big shot who was a potential catering customer (it did not take all of the employees and management to help him). The OP was right about them treating you different if you are Peruvian. From what I saw of the prices and the pictures I would say it was over priced for a strip mall hole in the wall eatery. read more

Will not come back here. I don't understand the good reviews. First, the INCA Kola I ordered was really dirty at the top. Second, the bread and butter served is cold. Third, my coworker's chicken was under-cooked; still pink in places. Fourth, BAD SERVICE. The waiter took forever to give us anything we requested and frequently forgot. We asked for ketchup four times, waiting 10 minutes. Never once came to check if we need anything. Fifth, the food quality is so-so for the price. Again, I won't come back here. read more

I was very disappointed. I saw this place on Yelp and thought it would be great, I was wrong! I ordered through Yelp and went to pick my food up after about 30 minutes (I was told it would be ready between 10 and 35 minutes). I walked to the register and was told the food was not ready yet and to have a seat. After sitting there for about 15 minutes the guy working there said something to me in Spanish, which I don't speak, laughed and handed me a paper bag. The food smelled good and I went home. When I got home and opened the bag I noticed that what I ordered (Lomo Saltado) was separated. The meat, veggies and juice were in one container and the fries were in another. I mixed them together and took a bite and was very disappointed. The food was very salty and there really wasn't very much meat. My daughter had the grilled chicken breast meal with rice and french fries. she liked the rice and that was about it, she didn't even like the french fries, which is a shocker for her. I tried the chicken and it was very thin and DRY. The wife had Tallarin Verde con Milanesa and she said it was okay but she has had better. She didn't even finish it tho. Overall none of us are interested in going back to this place ever again. The food wasn't very good and it was pricy. Parking was also impossible we had to risk parking in the red to get our food. read more

Ordered this today for lunch since I was in the area and craving Peruvian food. Probably one of the best lomo saltado's I've ever had! The meat was juicy and not dry which was so nice! Very flavorful and definitely worth the money! Will definitely come back soon read more

Have you ever been super hungry and had the urge to stuff your face with Peruvian food? That feeling of need almost like a crack addict? Well that was what led me too Chio's! I walked in here like a paisa walks into a strip club, ready for action and to spend some guap! I started my visit with my favorite Peruvian appetizer Yucca a la huancaina. The dish presentation was on point like Allen Iverson, and yucca was crispy like my Air Force ones in 7th grade. However, it lacked the proper amount of sauce for the amount of yucca. I like my yucca a la huancaina like I love women in baby oil, DRENCHED! Ya feel me! Next came my main dish Lomo Saltado, and let me tell you it looked amazing. Meat was Niagara Falls mouth watering and tender like Tyra Banks 34 DDs. Fries were crispy, and the rice was average. Overall the plate was good, but didn't stand out from other Peruvian restaurants. The food presentation was better then most places. Service was good as well, but slowly declined as more customers came in. Can't blame them though! In conclusion, Chio's is good if I'm in the area. Next time I will try something different, and hopefully they can earn the fifth star. Until next time my Peruvian peeps! Btw their alcohol license is in the process! Turn up!!! I hate this phrase! Lol Honestly! -Sir Charles Yelpington read more

I'm not the kind of person that likes giving negative reviews, because I'm always open minded to different things. But I must admit this has to be the worst service I have ever received. I went to brunch with my girls and waited almost 2 hours for my food. The food was delicious, but the service was horrid. It seems like they have favoritism! read more

The food is pretty darn good. This place does get packed easily, but they do have an outside patio. The staff are very nice and polite. The only con is their ají lacking flavor. Compared to other Peruvian restaurants, it's hotter than usual. I also wish they gave more rice with their lomos, but that's just me. Gotta have arroz!!! Their food is fantastic, though! Always fresh. Their pollo a la brasa is solid. Lucuma ice cream is the best thing you can get for dessert. I recommend street parking. Their parking lot is small and it's very likely you'll end up being blocked by another car. read more

I was recommended here by my friend Alex from Chase Bank. He told me it was delicious and that I had to try it out. I took his advice and am definitely happy I did. He gave me a coupon for a $5 meal with two sides and a drink. It had a quarter chicken and two sides. I chose rice and beans. For $5, you can't beat that. The chicken was really tender and the skin was delicious! Even the rice and beans were a little different, but in a good way. What I really liked was the owner was the guy in the back making the food! How cool is that? I get to visit a lot of restaurants because of what I do, and it's rare that the owner will be the person actually making and preparing food. Five stars all the way. I'll be back again soon for sure. read more

Lomo saltado was slightly salted. Beef meh. I ordered it to go and once I put it together (they placed beef and veggies separate from fries) it wasn't same taste I'm used to. Not sure if it was the takeout version or what. Place is super small and parking is horrible. Not sure if the AC works or you just didn't feel it, but I wouldn't eat in on a hot day. read more
