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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PLEASE don't miss this gem!!…read more 5 stars. This Peruvian-Japanese ceviche vibe feels like you've stumbled into a little dive bar, only to realize you're eating food from one of the most talented chefs, Ricardo Zarate -- the former chef behind Rosaline, Causita, and Picca, all places we've loved -- so we were really excited to eat here! The Peruvian-Japanese-style hand rolls and ceviche were mouthwatering, and the chefs brought out a few off-menu dishes just for us. We were also celebrating a birthday, and they surprised us with special desserts, and not to mention homemade pies!! AMAZING food, cool people, fun atmosphere, and a place that feels like its own personality - 100% we be back!

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.

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!
