    Lomo Saltado with green sauce.
    Caroline N.

    Decided to try Simple Peruvian on Greenpoint Ave. During the Sunnyside food crawl, the sample was great. After looking at the menu, I went to the kiosks to order the Loco Saltado. The friendly employee checked if I ordered from the kiosk, and I did. After 5 minutes or so, my order was ready and I took it to go. The stir-fried beef was really salty (think it's the marination) even when you eat the beef with the white rice or fries to try to dilute how much sauce there is. The tomato and onions were great. Tons of fries (that I can't finish it) and a small container of white rice. Have to come back and try the cerviche and fried rice next time.

    This Chinese-Peruvian spot delivers on flavor and execution. Chicken: Juicy perfection with a creamy green, slightly spicy sauce. I want to eat this again and again. The sauce is the star of this dish even though the chicken was perfectly cooked. Ceviche: Citrusy and vibrant. A clean, classic preparation. Choclo corn and toasted corn are a staple of this dish. I enjoy the crunchy toasted corn Jalea: Impeccably crispy fried seafood platter. Great crunch and flavor. The batter is light and crunchy. Picarones: The Peruvian donuts are delicious, slightly sweet, and the perfect finish. My son devoured all the crispy edges of one donut. Service: you can order at the counter or the kiosk and the food is brought to your table. The restaurant feels like a fast casual but the team was very attentive in bringing drinks, food and cleaning the table. Overall: A gem. Simple Peruvian is highly recommended.

    Cerviche Mixto $18 (comes with a side item of your choice)

    This is not a full waiter service restaurant; although there is wait staff to help you throughout your meal. Order, Pay and Tip at the front of the restaurant. Then you're given a # to take to your table. When your food is ready, they will bring it right to you. Very FAST service!!! In a blink of an eye, your food is at your table! My one critic is I wish they would space out the serving of the dishes; ALL of our dishes (Apptz, Entrees, Sides) came out all at once. So our chicken and rice & beans sat on the table getting cold, while we ate the appetizers first. MENU (shared by 4ppl): ~ Cerviche Mixto; comes with a side of your choice ($18): tasty Cerviche however, it was overloaded with onions and the seafood was chopped up into teeny tiny pieces. Not the best Cerviche. (3/5) ~ Jalea; comes with a side of your choice ($26): Nice variety of fried seafood! Fried but not greasy at all. (5/5) ~ House Salad ($9): basic salad to offset the rich food. Nothing much to say about it. lol ~ Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken ($15): This whole chicken is normally $17.50 but currently is offered for $15 as a Grand Opening Special. Delicious Rotisserie Chicken! Ask for extra green sauce! ~ Salchi Papas ($9): Nice ratio of sausages to french fries. I didn't care for the sauce that came of the side but this dish was good on its own. Ask for their green sauce instead. All in all, a nice addition to the neighborhood! Although there are other Peruvian restaurants in the neighborhood, Simple Peruvian offers it with an Asian twist. Great for fast-casual dining. Service & hospitality was friendly and welcoming. Don't forget to leave a tip!

    I came to Simple Peruvian after seeing an IG post that caught my attention, and I'm glad I did! This spot is pretty unique with its fusion of Asian and Spanish influences in the cuisine. You can order from the kiosk out front or directly at the register, and they even have a rewards program you can sign up for. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with the Lomo Saltado, which came with a free side thanks to their grand opening promo--we chose the fried wontons (3 pieces), and they were quite good. For my main entrée, I had the Ceviche Mixto with rice & beans as the free side. The ceviche had a lot of onions, which I personally wasn't a fan of, but the side was tasty. We also tried the dumplings, which reminded me of mini empanadas, and they were enjoyable as well. The atmosphere is very casual. You seat yourself if you're dining in, and they bring the food to your table after you take a number. Overall, it's a nice little spot with interesting flavors and a laid-back vibe.

    BLUF: Good chicken, upbeat service. Simple Peruvian in Sunnyside, NY, is currently my favorite place for rotisserie chicken in Queens. Dishes we've had include: - Half Chicken: $9.50; $10.34 with tax. The chicken and accompanying green sauce are above average; 4 stars out of 5. The chicken is flavorfully marinated and moist, and the green sauce has a little heat to it. - The Sampler: $16.99; $18.59 with tax. The most flavorful component of this dish was the chicken. The rice was on the mushy side. The ceviche was OK but the proteins didn't quite have the right textures. - Aeropuerto Special: $15.25; $16.60 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. A mixture of thin lo mein noodles and rice with some roast pork, chicken, and shrimp. The dish seemed to have a decent wok hei, which was confusing because the chicken rice from the Sampler was on the mushy side. This dish would be much better with more proteins, and the wok hei suggests that the restaurant has untapped potential. - Papa Rellena: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. Stuffed deep fried potatoes that seemed factory-made, instead of house-made. Atmosphere, Service, Other: The restaurant is casual, clean, and comfortable for dining in, with a mix of regular tables and booth-style seating. Those who choose to dine-in should order food at the counter, receive a number placard, and find a place to sit. Staff will bring plates, utensils, and later, one's food and drink; and will clear the table when your party is finished eating. Service is notably upbeat. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at an affordable 12%. Overall ticket time (the time between placing an order and having that order served) is reasonable. By contrast, Bayside Chicken Lovers often requires that orders be placed in advance to minimize wait time. The restroom is adequately maintained, but oddly pipes in music louder than in the main dining area. Simple Peruvian is a couple of storefronts away from Kora, which is a superb place for dessert afterwards.

    WOW! I was so excited to try this place out with the recent opening earlier last year. My partner and I were so satisfied with service! The people were SUPER kind and friendly. I enjoyed the ceviche and the Pollo al la brasa but the chicken was dry unfortunately. Food had SUCH GREAT FLAVOR and i hope to be back again for more! The random bathroom picture is just an addition to detail to the ambience of this restaurant. The decoration and design added to how beautiful and simple everything is in the perfect way! I love it!

    Cute place to bring a big group of people or as a couple. My partner and i ordered fried rice and it was huge! We could have shared one but it makes for good left overs. You order then the food comes to you and thats it. Simple and easy. No frills. Would come back to try the other food as well. Clean new spot.

    Ceviche Mixto
    Estefania M.

    WOWW! Decided to try this place out after seeing it on TikTok, sometimes that can be a hit or miss but this spot was definitely a HIT ! We ordered the Aeropuerto Chicken , Aeropuerto Special and the Ceviche Mixto. Let's start with the ceviche, so flavorful it was so much shrimp, not going to lie I was immediately in love. Moving on to the Chinese fried rice, it was probably one of the best fried rices I've had in a while ! The flavor did not disappoint and the fact that it was mixed with fried noodles made it even better than I expected. Staff was very friendly, the girl that took my order was able to give a lot of recommendations. Anyway I never really write reviews but I just finished my food and I'm extremely satisfied, will definitely be going back to try the lomo saltado.

    Peruvian chicken

    Was close by, never ventured into Sunnyside. Found Simple Peruvian, simple but food was great. Chicken was nice and tender, fried rice was bursting with flavors and included lots of mixed meats. Ceviche was wow! Didn't expect portion to be so big. Everything was shareable. Service was fast, place your order, get a number and find a seat. Ambiance casual and clean. Would definitely return to try other things on the menu.

    I passed this brand new store front while making a trip to Kora. Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisines so of course I had to order. The inside was very clean and pretty. It's a fast casual restaurant, where you order up front and get a # and they bring it to your table. I ordered to go. I got the half chicken platter which comes with salad and either a choice of fries or chicken fried rice. It was very well priced ($15) and when ordering I made sure my platter came with green aji sauce (which it did) and I didn't have to order it separately. My food came out in 10 minutes well packaged. I quickly looked in the bag to make sure the sauce was there. When I got home, I realized I got no green sauce. I was devastated because this is what makes the chicken delicious! The sauce cup I saw in the bag was the salad dressing. If I wasn't 1 hour away in LI, I would've went back because I was SO sad. Everything I did get- tasted very good. The chicken had good seasoning, the fried rice was good and the salad had more than just iceberg lettuce. If I had the green sauce this would've been a 5 star review.

    1/2 Chicken Pollo a La Brasa (Chicken Only) it's actually a quarter chicken

    I ordered Chicken and tostones and spent almost $20 for just me, mind you I don't eat a lot so my order was simple and small but tell me why I ordered tostones and they look like they was fried in some oil that was used probably a million times for 3 months And that's not even crazy since this place is so expensive for just one person the piece of chicken looks like it's from a young chicken

    Food was amazing thank you for the experience…read more I highly recommend the seafood option for its spice

    As I warmed up my leftovers this afternoon, I realized I did not write a review for this impeccably…read moredelicious meal. The service was pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful from the minute we walked in without a reservation. The ambiance and decor was gorgeous and took me out of NYC for a moment. The phenomenal taste of the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea that paired so well with the rest of my meal is the reason behind the first picture I took. For the apps we ordered my favorite- Chicken Curry Puffs and Chicken Satay. The Chicken Curry Puffs were soft and perfectly mashy on the inside and had a perfect crisp to the layered outside. The Chicken Satay was so different here and yet so savory served with this soft garlic bread. The sauces were so fresh, vibrant and distinct and added to both the appetizers. The peanut sauce had crushed peanuts and was such an accompaniment to texture. For the mains, we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Braised Beef Short Rib in Penang Curry. The Pad Thai was a great standard and tasty with the crisp sprouts and zesty lime. This Braised Beef Short Rib is where it is at! One of their house specialties- the decadent flavors and textures of this dish is something that will be memorable and just the right touch of spice. Lovely bright orange sweet potatoes and beautiful green beans went so well together with the beef and curry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and not defaulting to my usual. Warmed up Chicken Pad Thai on the pan over the stove today in a little bit of butter, this was as delicious as it was going to get today. I missed one of the most exquisite Thai Iced Teas I've had in a while, it truly set the tone of how great this late lunch was.
