This spot is a small, family-owned place, and it definitely gets packed--so be prepared for a crowd. The food is consistently good, and I find myself coming back often. Their green sauce deserves a shout-out--it's one of the best parts of the meal. I've noticed their prices have gone up quite a bit over the past few years, which is expected in this economy, but worth mentioning if you haven't been here in a while. Overall, it's a solid go-to if you're in the area and want a family-style meal that hits the spot. read more

I just picked up four chickens paid almost $70. They only gave me one small sauce for all four chickens. When I asked for more the lady said she was going to have to charge me $8 for an extra sauce. That's almost half of a chicken. When I asked if I could speak with the owner she said she was not available, but then a lady came out from the back and said what does she want, I gave her a sauce as if I just didn't spend almost $70 there. The customer service here is poor and I will not be returning to this location. I rather drive further to the Holbrook location. read more

Loved this place! Walking in to the restaurant makes you feel as if you just stepped into Peru, with the imagery and beautiful colors. We were seated quickly by a friendly waitress and help with figuring out what to eat. We ordered sangria to start and was given a large pitcher; the sangria was delish and strong! For apps, we ordered the calamari. They give you a good amount and serve it with pickled onions, which complimented it well. For the main, we got lomo saltado, which is steak in sauce and fries.. The steak was juicy and tender and flavored so well. We also ordered the arroz chaufa and fries, which is chicken and Peruvian fried rice. Peruvian fried rice is now my favorite fried rice ever! I loved it. The portions are a good size and so yummy! I can't wait to go back! read more

Had this place for the first time as I'm traveling in bayshore and let me just say, this is the most juiciest fall off the bone rotisserie chicken I've ever had. It was so flavorful! The rice was really good and that green creamy sauce for the chicken was perfectly spicy ! 10/10. I got the yellow rice, chicken, sweet plantains and salad and everything paired together so beautifully! I would recommend everyone to give it a try! Good Peruvian food in Long Island is hard to come by and this spot right here, took the crown. Super friendly, good service and quality and portion is great! Took pics of the aftermath of the food because I couldn't contain myself! read more

I came here to eat with my family. The service was horrendous. The waiters focused on cleaning and doing other things than serving customers. We had to wait 30 mins for food. On top of that, when the food arrived, they got our order wrong. My sister and I both asked for a chicken wing, but they gave my sister a chicken breast. Without knowing, my sister took a singular bite. After she realized, we called the waiter over to replace it. However, the waiter said she could not, which did not make sense because it wasn't our fault and she only took one bite. Even worse, she found a hair in her food. But the cherry on top was that there was no sound on the tv that the world cup was on. It sucks because the food was really good. Safe to say we aren't coming back anytime soon. read more

The food is amazing avocado salad, chicken and rice and a half of chicken can't beat it. It is enough to feed a family. Basically the service is great. The lady showed kindness. The ambience is nice not too big not too small. Good for takeout and dining in you have to try it with something different but very delightful with that green sauce. I had to get extra very good. read more

Of all the important reason your reading the food is great. Just don't receive service from the older lady with glasses... she'll kill your mood and appetite as always...she is extremely rude and has absolutely no experience in customer service. read more

El servicio de aquí es pésimo. No sé por qué las servidoras son de las más amargadas y desagradables que e visto en un servicio. So los dueños quieren que su negocio tenga mejor éxito, empiezen con nuevas meseras. Por qué no son muy amables y apenas vienen a servirle a uno. Que pena, un lugar con tanta potencial y pa la basura con sus empleados. Uno no sale a estar rodeado de personas amargas, especialmente si van a sacarle el " tip " a un de la factura, por lo menos q el servicio sea mejor. Tratan a uno como si estuvieramos comiendo de gratis. OjO** Fuimos al otro local, y nos atendieron muy bien y con sonrisas y muy pendientes. No sé si son los mismos dueños o que, pero necesitan más servicio así en Bayshore. Ese va en cuesta baja... Me tomo 30 minutos para que me sirvieran un refresco y otros 30 para la factura.. y con actitud, como si la hubiese está molestando la! read more

Terrible 1st experience. Walked in here with my cousin and my son eager to try this place for the 1st time because of the good word my father has been giving it. I saw the comfy booth seating on one side of the restaurant and requested we sat there. We were immediately halted by one of the waitresses saying that half of the restaurant was closed at the time.(No explantation as to why) I have a sciatic nerve issue on my back so when seated on hard seats it causes discomfort. When we decided to leave and try another place to eat, the waitress rather than see if other arrangements could be made just sat there with this blank look on her face as we headed for door. Will not be trying this place ever again. 1st impressions are everything and this was one of the worst I've seen. read more

Food is delicious with impeccable service. I order food from here all the time. Ambiance is beautiful.

I've been coming here for YEARS. The food is always delicious wether you choose to dine in or to-go! And you get great portions for the price! My go-to is always the Peruvian rotisserie chicken but they have other great menu items as well! I also love getting lomo saltado and jalea from here. Today I did get an order of calamari, which was cooked to perfection! Super crispy! I love dipping it in the aji sauce. The green aji sauce is a must-try! It goes well with everything!! During my visit today I asked for extra and this is what they gave for no extra charge!! I will continue to always come here with family and friends. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place has good chicken and Salchipapas and Anticuchos- But the Papa a la Huancayina did not come with a hardboiled egg! I forgot that the last time they did the same thing- I had to come home and cook my own egg to add to it- not good especially for the $9.00 they charged! read more

Golden Chicken - Only the surface of the egg was included- very chintzy! - Peruvian Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

I've ordered many times from this place in the past haven't had issues until recently. Got raw chicken the last 2 times I've ordered. The last order I requested well done chicken and got what's in the picture below. Food quality has gone down in past month. When I spoke to a manager they gave me a bullshit excuse that the chickens are farm raised . You should not have blood in a properly cooked chicken l. Just leave it in the rotisserie for 10 more minutes. I will not be bring my business back here. read more

I ordered tallarín verde w churrasco and instead they gave me a piece of Chuck steak and charged me $40 for it. Ridiculous. When I told them the meat was all grease and not even skirt steak they tried arguing saying skirt steak is not churrasco. I told them to search it up, that it's the Latin name for skirt steak and they refused to do anything about it and tried laughing saying it's different cuts of meat that churrasco is grease. I asked if they could change the meat to entraña at least and they refused. How would skirt steak be $30 and this cheap piece of meat $40. Make it make sense. I know my meats and have no problem paying if it's at least what I paid for. read more

No starts due to bad customer service, also they add 18% tip on the bill and when i ask why the 18% the manager said due to the area (Bay shore NY) also when i tell her that the tip is no mandatory she answer with making faces that she born in this country and y need to go to college for economy class. And mention that if i like to eat in a restauran i will need to found other job to Get more money. ( No respect at all for customers) I would said me and the other person that was with me feel discriminated due to our race for the manager when comment that she is american. ( dunno why she said that as she look more latin than us) Avoid this place food was ok but the customer services is really bad. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Bay Shore. I've been going here for years and tell everyone I know about it! Love Golden Chicken!!!!

This is probably one of the best Peruvian spots I've been to on Long Island. The ceviche and leche de Tigre remind me of the food back in Peru. The lomo saltado is amazinggg! This truly does justice to Peruvian cuisine! read more

Big portions, food seems fresh however my plate Sudado ( fish soup) had a weird taste. I don't know if it was because of the fish (tilapia) but it was definitely not what I expected. The Huancaina was delicious and the Lomo Saltado too. Service was good. read more

Golden Chicken is a cute and cozy little Peruvian restaurant, not far from my doctor's office. This spot is located about two blocks from Southside Hospital, Bay Shore area. Tonight, me and my family just happened to be around this area, so we decided to give it a try. My cousin and my aunt also joined us. At first as I entered, I found the decor to be simple but gave me a homey feel. Peruvian music played softly in the background. The staff and servers were polite. We found about three tables were filled with customers. I must say that it was early, around 7pm. It's divided in two sections. The front is the bar area, and then there's the dining room. The restaurant itself probably has about twenty tables or so. We sat and we ordered right away. My cousin and aunt ordered arroz chaufa, a Peruvian, Chinese-style fried rice. I tried it. It was delicious! That was the best platter of all; they also ordered an avocado salad and a fresh pineapple juice. My mom had a seafood soup that came in a white, gigantic fish bowl. The server brought hot sauce, limes and toasted corn kernels to our table. My dad enjoyed a fried tilapia filet served with rice and beans. I had a shrimp ceviche with tostones; the way they fry the green plantains is different. The cuts were chunky and its center was tough and undercooked. The fried yuca from my cousin was much better. At first, a ceviche fish platter was brought. Wrong plate, although it looked good! Our server realized about the mistake, apologized and brought the plate in a matter of minutes.The ceviche came with a couple of boiled sweet potatoes. Nice presentation. The platter was dissapointly small, and the flavor was not on point, despite having the typical red onion topping and lime juice. The bright green, pastel-colored sauce has some serious kick. Overall, the eatery is small but lovely. Maybe I can order something next time I eat there again. Rotisserie chicken is their specialty. read more

Recently their prices have gone up and their portions have lessened. They are now very hesitant in giving the green sauce with the food. I do love this place but gotta mention the good with the bad. Sometimes I notice that the love is not put in the food either. The rice is hard at times. Hope they get better again. read more

The Ambiance really sucks!!! The cashier/server had no personality just a straight face. The restaurant was completely empty the entire time I was their at 5:30 around dinner time. The food was ok nothing to brag about. She made me not want to go back. She needs better customer service training. read more

I'm not huge on Peruvian food, but the food here was amazing, that I fell in love. Deff is worth a try. I love their rotisserie chicken it's so tender a juicy, it's a must if your eating here. The seafood is also pretty good! - Large Portions - Good Prices - Nice Staff read more

This review is for the Holbrook location that just opened up. Very friendly when I first walked in. Informed me they just opened yesterday. I never had Peruvian food. So I stuck with the basics: 1/2 Chicken with rice. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Perfect skin. Yellow rice was good too. I will now explore new items on the menu. Once the Holbrook location is added on Yelp, I'll leave another review. Highly recommended read more

Golden Chicken - 1/2 Chicken with yellow rice. - Peruvian Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

It's a typical Peruvian/Colombian/Ecuadorian rotisserie chicken joint. I had the chicken with rice beans and plantains what I usually order and it was all delicious service was very nice. People were friendly and the prices were just fine if you're looking for a humble, tasty home-cooked style dinner, this is the place to go. read more

I am so surprised how good this place is. I found it during the COVID crisis by accident. They were closing but served me. The chicken was succulent and flavorful and the ceviche mixto was spectacular. Guys support this local business which had only two workers turning out amazing food! A hole in the wall that is worthy of a sledge hammer in the wall. Thank you for being there. You are the unsung hero of this crisis. I would post pictures but we ate them so fast before we remembered. Lol. read more

Food was ok at best. Most of it undercooked. The young ladies were nice but not so attentive. Wondering how they got 3 & 4 star reviews. I am not Peruvian but love the food. Peruvian cuisine is among the best . This was a big disappointment. Two thumbs down, Sorry not so sorry read more

Very delicious food! Went several times with my family and with friends and enjoyed the delicacies and presentation of each dish! Jalea is fantastic! Ceviche was very fresh! I realy enjoyed the chicha morada! Choros a la chalaca were outstanding! The waitress was very nice and filled all our requests with a smile and we did not have to wait long for our food! Very nice backround music that goes with the atmosphere!! Very accesible pricing! If you want to have a refreshing cocktail request Pisco Sour!!! read more

I always order takeout from here so the review is based on that. Typically we order the Golden Chicken combo, which consists of a whole rotisserie chicken, yellow rice, beans, fresh fries with hotdogs (side note- curious about the Peruvian love of hotdogs) and a side salad with avocado. Also we normally get a side of Plantains. When done right this place is phenomenal. The chicken is very seasoned and flavorful and the green sauce you can dip it in a great as well. I say "when done right" because there have been times when plantains were not made as good, or the chicken seemed a little dry. Overall this a great place with great food. read more

My parents were raving about this place for a while so I decided to check it out with them one day. We ordered Chicha morada (tasted like cinnamon and corn flavored water with chunks of apples in it). It was very different but I really enjoyed it! My family and I also ordered the rotisserie chicken, an order of yuca frita, an order of rice, beans, a jalea (this was delish and not greasy at all!) and salads came with the dishes. I was very pleased. After eating all of that food the check came and everything came out to be around $40. That was nice! Last minute we ordered a slice of torta fría. This is the only bad part of this review. That desert was flavorless and just confusing. Other than that, I really enjoyed this place! I recommend you try it out! read more

Golden Chicken - Sopa de gallina - Peruvian Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

When I write reviews I usually start with a structure so I can get to the point and people do not have to read my "in detail" portion of the review. (Check other reviews on my profile if you don't believe me) However the experience I had in this restaurant is something else. I hope I keep everyone's attention for this one. First of all I do not live anywhere near the area. I happened to be in Robert Moses beach and my family and I decided to go eat at a Peruvian restaurant. Yes my nationality is Peruvian so I have a pretty good idea of what Peruvian food should taste like. The restaurant is beautiful. Very nice Peruvian designs, very spacious as they have two rooms, played music...so far so good. We got our menu and we decided to order the Jalea (Family size) which the menu said $30. Also we ordered a Ceviche Mixto $15 and Chicha Morada. They start off by giving you the spicy green sauce and Peruvian corn (cancha). Cool. The green sauce was delicious! (Green sauce = half a star) we got the Chicha. The Chicha was delicious as well! Not too sweet, not watery at all, that equals another half star in this review and everything goes downhill from that. We got the Jalea and for $30 that was a good plate portion. The ceviche was also a pretty decent portion, can't really complain about the ceviche plate because most restaurant charge you $13-$15 and do not serve you that much ceviche. Jalea had everything the plate should have like the fish, calamari, shrimp, yuca etc... But one thing the Jalea did not have was TASTE. Yeah you read that right. It was extremely bland and actually a tad bit salty! The "salsa" which is the seasoned onions that accompanies the Jalea had no season on them whatsoever. They were dry!! No lemon at all! I cannot begin to hesitate how disappointed I was! It just did not taste like ANYTHING!!! Ceviche. Nice presentation. Good amount of diced fish. Since the Jalea was not any good; I was excited for the ceviche and that excited went away as soon as I put a fish in my mouth. I took a spoon, yes a spoon, that way I can taste some of the juice and the fish. Wow. They put too much milk! That ceviche was milky!!! It was missing seasoning too! What the...you guys have no idea how upset I was. That ceviche tasted awful! I rather eat the Jalea that didn't taste like anything. Alright. Whatever. We at least tried out a new restaurant. It's about trying new places right? Cool. Check please! We got the check and to our surprise...Jalea $35...wait what? (PAUSE. Scroll up) the menu said $30. All of the menus we got said $30!!!! I called the waitress over and asked her "why did you charge me $35. The price on all of our menus said the Jalea was $30." She said "ohh...yeah we changed it. It's $35." So I asked if I may speak with someone in charge. I know it's only $5 and I would not have been hard on trying to speak with someone in charge or even have complained at all IF the food had any taste whatsoever but $35 for bland food? Hm no. She goes out back and comes back about 2-3 minutes later saying the following "I cannot change it. It's $35-" I interrupted her "I asked to speak with someone in charge" she said "the lady is not here. I'm the one in charge right now" so I said "oh yeah? Okay well you need to change your menus. You're lying to the customers by giving them a different price." She said "we changed the price months ago! About 5-6 months ago" I was getting annoyed. "Even if you changed it last week or yesterday I wouldn't have known because I'm not from around here. It's what you have on the menu." F this. I was already upset I was paying for food that didn't even taste good or didn't have taste at all. I took the check. Paid the bill. And left. Did I leave a tip? Absolutely not. I am HUGE on giving tips. I know what it's like to be a waitress. I know that that's what they depend on...tips. I always give 15%-20% tips...even to cab drivers, valets etc.. that is why I am comfortable enough to publicly say that I did not tip her. I refused too. The service was bad. If you're still reading this review...was it worth it? Because at the end of the day it's your decision if you want to try this place out or not. Before coming here I saw someone else give this place a one star review and still went. Why? Because I saw someone else give them a 5 star review on seafood. What a mess. No offense to anyone but the seafood was awful! I actually regret not trying the chicken. I was extremely disappointed. Go at your own risk. read more

Better than most Peruvian restaurants I been to. Very small dining room has rustic decor with beautiful paintings on the wall. The food is well done. Peruvian mashed potatoes was super spicy with a chicken salad in the center to cool the heat. Locro Saltado with skirt steak was juicy and flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices are a tad bit higher than what you'd expect but the quality makes up for it. Give it a try. read more
