Calle Moore 152
Miraflores, Lima, Peru

Restaurant

By David Britton

While in Lima you have to try the Chifa "Jin." (Chifa is Latin America's name for Chinese food.) The Chinese food here, however, is distinct from western countries. It's more flavorful and fresh, and the ingredients, especially the spices, are far more eclectic. Chifa "Jin" in Miraflores is an excellent place to sample this unique Asian food; the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is high quality. Try the sopa wantan, wantan frito or pollo chi jau kay, some of the local favorites. Head away from Parque Kennedy on Avenida José Pardo and get off at the first circle you see, about a mile away. It's right on Calle Moore, only a few shop fronts from the circle.

not good chinese food

Rating: 25%

I was not impressed in the least with this cuisine. Is this peruvian chinese fusion, or just bad chinese food? I don't know. I was talking to another guest and heard about two ladies' purses stolen near this restaurant the past week.
