Good food, good time, great service. Seriously, everything was served with a smile. Servers were attentive and responsive with just the right balance of distance and watchful anticipation. They didn't hesitate to make menu suggestions or offer a useful opinion when asked. Drinks were a bit sweet for my taste but still delicious and pretty! Food was served in abundant portions with appealing presentation. Didn't have to wait long for it either. And everything was delicious. Highly recommend the cilantro rice. Yum. I got chuletas fritas, and my companians got the fish special--forgot what it's called--and the Peruvian neef stew. Everything was very good. We shared the flan for dessert. It was okay but we have a REALLY high bar for flan. Almost no place meets it for us. I will no doubt return to Flor de Mayo for some good eats! read more

Flor De Mayo - Lomo Saltado (Steak), Red Beans, Broiled Pork Chops, 1/2 Pollo a la Brasa with Yellow Rice, Sweet Plantains - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Ridiculous that i have written a review about this place before since i've been here over 100 times, going back to around 2000. Get: Peruvian Chicken Yellow Rice Black Beans Sweet (or not) plantains Optional: ceviche If you like Ceviche, theirs is very, very nice. The food is great, the service speedy. The table are formica, the napkins crappy paper, the space a little cramped. All that said, this is the highest value restaurant I've ever been to. The roasted chicken is drippingly moist (apologies to El Maricon, but you're not cutting it). the plantains perfectly cooked, and I wish I knew what they did to their black beans... A really, really great terrific meal. For two, without booze (and maybe a beer), around $40 including tip. And if you need ruffage, avocoda salad with onion and ice berg. read more

Today 4/20/26, I went for lunch with two friends and ordered from the "lunch special menu", the food was so tasty and abundant. We ordered the Peruvian Roast Chicken with Fried Rice and Plantains. Also ordered the Chicken Pepper with Cilantro Rice. Everything was delicious. The Only thing we didn't like was that the "hostess" , who led us to our table was extremely rude to my friend when she decided to choose which table we sit at. The hostess had an attitude, which is*not* good customer service! She is definitely not in the right occupation, and should either be kinder and pleasant with the customers or change jobs. read more

Although this restaurant has been around a long time, there are several other that are more authentic Chinese/Peruvian/Cuban restaurants on the Upper West Side. The food here is very ordinary and not especially tasty. Plus, the place is not especially attractive. Better choices are on West 72nd Street: Dynastia or La Caridad 72. read more

Amazing roasted chicken, beef lo mein. And the fried rice was perfect. I will be back again read more

Flor De Mayo - 1/2 Chicken with Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This place remains unchanged after YEARS in business. It was not that crowded on a Friday night; numerous tables were available at 6:30. (They don't seem to have their outdoor seating set up now.) Food is consistently good! I've never not enjoyed the ropa vieja, my go-to dish. For $24 you get a huge dish of it, rice (I asked for the cilantro rice instead of yellow rice), and salad (shredded lettuce and tomato). The free basket of bread then came in handy; I used it to do in the sauce. Delicious! When leaving a waiter was telling the guests next to us about a version with green sauce; this may be a reason to come back sooner! read more

Coworkers recommended ordering for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. Note, the food is pricey. They offer lunch menu which is pretty cheap. Love the fact they offer Peruvian and Chinese food. The Peruvian food is superb. read more

Amazing delicious and affordable food. Reminds me of my childhood. The service is very quick. Those plantains are like no other

Very fun place! I came here at the recommendation of a friend (with a group of people) and I was amazed at all of the different options. Highly recommend going with a group of people to eat 'family style' so that you get to try a little bit of everything. I personally got the Sweet & Sour Chicken which came with the fried chicken, sauce on the side, and rice. The staff was also really great and constantly refilling our drinks. The one caveat was that they initially forgot my rice with my food, but once we made the server aware that got on it asap. The music was also very fun! read more

I've been coming to this place for nearly two decades now and it's just as good as it was back then. This place combines all that is great from the local Chinese and Peruvian spots and mashes it up in one place. There are still things that I have yet to try because I can't stop ordering the delicious lomo saltado and the can miss Peruvian style chicken. Also the baby shrimp fried rice was well executed. I really want to try the fried pork chop, the bbq ribs and the egg foo young someday. Also love that the food comes out quick even though service can be a bit slow flagging down a waiter to order. Also decent seating and overall esthetic of restaurant is fine. Can't wait to go back. read more

Flor de Mayo, located on the Upper West Side, is a delicious Peruvian-Chinese fusion restaurant that provides a distinct and flavorful eating experience. The friendly, unassuming ambiance greets you as soon as you walk in, making it suitable for both casual dinners and memorable occasions. The menu is a superb fusion of traditional Peruvian dishes and Chinese influences, known as Chifa. One of the highlight meals is the Lomo Saltado, a flavorful stir-fried beef dish with onions, tomatoes, and French fries served with rice. This is one of my favorite dishes; the flavors are robust and well-balanced, providing a rich, comforting taste. Chifa fried rice is another must-try, with rich umami notes that complement any main entrée. For those looking for something lighter, the ceviche is refreshing and tangy, with the perfect combination of citrus and pepper. The shrimp ceviche is a delightful meal that wonderfully exemplifies Peruvian cuisine. The shrimp are soft and fresh, marinated in a zesty citrus sauce with the perfect amount of spice from jalapeño peppers. The addition of onions, cilantro, and a hint of garlic enhances the dish's richness, while the crispy side of toasted corn provides texture and a delicious crunch. The acidity of the citrus cuts through the richness of the shrimp, making each mouthful seem light and refreshing--ideal for a hot day or as an appetizer to a larger meal. It's a dish that exemplifies the restaurant's ability to combine vibrant, zesty flavors with fresh ingredients. I also enjoy cilantro rice. It includes a simple yet tasty side dish that complements the ceviche well. The rice is precisely cooked, fluffy, and imbued with the bright flavor of fresh cilantro. The gentle herbaceous flavors of cilantro lift the meal, adding fragrant depth without dominating the rice's light flavor. It's a hearty, well-seasoned addition that goes well with any of the main courses. The service at Flor de Mayo is attentive and friendly. The portions are generous, ensuring you'll leave satisfied without breaking the bank. The cocktails are also great, the sangría is a refreshing drink that elevates any meal. While the restaurant can get busy, especially on weekends, it's always worth the wait. Whether you're a fan of Peruvian food, Chinese cuisine, or just looking to try something new, Flor de Mayo offers an exciting culinary experience that's hard to beat on the Upper West Side. It's a hidden gem that you must visit! While the restaurant can get crowded, particularly on weekends, it is always worth the wait. Flor de Mayo provides an intriguing culinary experience that is difficult to surpass on the Upper West Side. It's a hidden jewel that you must see! read more

Once again we went to this location of Flor De Mayo on Amsterdam Ave. It's a very busy location but again the food wasn't up to standard. The liver was good but it was shredded not whole like a liver steak should be. The sauce was a brown sauce that is really for Chinese dish & it had pieces of ginger in it which means that they used the sauce of a Chinese dish & didn't take the time to make a proper sauce for the liver. The rice came with the main entree but you had to pay additional for the beans which would typically be included with the rice. The picadillo ( stewed ground beef was just ok. The service was kind of rushed & they started clearing & cleaning our table before we even got up. The Flor De Mayo on Broadway is much better in regards to food & service but we had just come out of the Museum & it was walking distance. For awhile now this branch on Amsterdam Ave. hasn't been that great. read more

Every time I come to NYC from SF, I always come to Flor De Mayo. Must have is the rotisserie chicken, fried rice and super nutcracker. Shots out to my man from Harlem for the nut cracker recommendation. Shots out to Dennis and the staff! Customer service is off the charts! I've been coming since the late 90's. Now I come with my whole family. NYC staple! No doubt... if you know, you know! E from SF!!! read more

Our dinner was absolute perfection. Each element was perfectly executed - half a roast chicken, Moro rice, plantains and (alcoholic) frozen lychee lemonades. Spent $70 including tax and tip, $35 of which was the two fantastic drinks. So if you don't drink alcohol, this place is an even better deal. Service was super friendly and efficient. We were very happy with the value we received for the money spent. read more

The service at Flor de Mayo is great, but the food fell short imo especially for the price I paid. I ordered the garlic shrimp and I received a bowl of shrimp swimming in crushed garlic. Not exactly what I expected for $28. read more

This place was so much fun. I went with a friend, and we made dinner plans last minute so we didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. The tables are tight and very squished together, but it gives the place a great feeling. We made friends with a group of six sitting next to us, I think they were there for a graduation dinner. The mom was sitting next to my friend and when their food came, honestly it looked so good that when it was our time to order we just pointed at what they had and asked for the same. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. I love good rice. I also have to say that the drinks were great. I would come here for their drinks alone. I'm usually not a fan of fruity secretary cocktails, but for their pina coladas I'm a convert. They are strong without tasting too strong and the presentation is too cute, makes me want to break out in the cheating song, "DO YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS?!?!?!?!! AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN?!?!?!" read more

It was ok had better being part Cuban. Waiter was attentive. The restaurant was pretty small but it did fit 19 ppl. I was w/. It was just tight. read more

This Peruvian-Chinese restaurant is a great find. I started with the fried Spanish sausage, which was absolutely delicious.

One of the first restaurants I came to when I visited NYC last year, and now that I live here it's become my go to when i just want some good food, with great flavor and a homemade feel to it. My go to is the Lomo Saltado with Chicken . I also always request extra onions and tomatoes, so good ! and I get the vegetable fried rice . Everything comes out piping hot and the service is always great here ! Also the homemade lemonade is so refreshing and not too tart but has a sweetness to it and not to mention it's a frozen drink .

Great food, the service was great as well the only complaint is the rush for tables. They need to make the restaurant bigger.

I loveee Flor De Mayo!!! Always have. The food never disappoints. I am a sucker for their lomo saltado, the meat is always so juicy and tender. The perfect amount of fries, rice and tomatoes, I really cannot ask for more! Their Pina coladas are one of the few I cannot get enough of. But you can count on all of their drinks being strong :) This place usually stays busy, you're in luck if you're able to just walk in and be seated without a wait. The staff here are so pleasant, attentive and fast on their feet. I leave so full and happy every-time I come here despite the calorie intake haha read more

I haven't been here in a few years I've heard the food doesn't taste the same , I was in the neighborhood and decided to swing on by to check it out for myself . As soon as I walked in they asked if I needed a high chair which I loved ! It is a small location so I did need to leave the stroller in the front and fold it . They sat us down immediately, I went to bathroom to wash our hands they have a baby changing table so with no doubt this is a baby child friendly location . Upon sitting down they brought us bread which was definitely not homemade but was decent . We got a lomo with the special house fried rice it fed 3 people plus baby . It's not bad it's just not the same I'm Assuming the chef changed The server was great read more

The ambiance and service were great. The food was good. We ordered the half a chicken with mix fried rice, pepper steak beef with white rice, and chicharron de pollo with plantain. The chicharron had an aftertaste maybe turmeric. The pepper steak had a nice rich sauce. The half a chicken had the right seasoning and was made just right. The fried mix rice was so flavorful. I also ordered the pina colada which wasn't all that. So watery and bland definitely disappointed since they are known for their drinks. Overall besides the drink it was worth it. read more
