Chimu Express - Brooklyn
Chimu Express
Description
Tucked in Bushwick, this Peruvian spot is a neighborhood gem known for fresh, flavorful dishes, generous portions, standout sangria and chicha morada, and a warm, family-style vibe. Seafood, skirt steak and adventurous plates like beef hearts earn praise, and the relaxed, date- or family-friendly atmosphere appeals to regulars. That said, experiences can be inconsistent — occasional undercooked delivery, slow or uneven service and management hiccups mean guests may encounter great highs alongside frustrating lows.

I walk by this restaurant all the time and finally decided to stop in for dinner. I ordered the steak and chicken combination along with the pork fried rice, and it was absolutely fantastic! The portion sizes were generous for the price, and everything was incredibly tasty. The pitcher of chicha morada was refreshing and really complemented the meal. I can't wait to come back!
I had a wonderful experience last Saturday. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I tried the beef hearts with Peruvian potatoes and loved the sauce, and the green spaghetti dish with steak was great, although I will say the steak could have been a bit juicier, but it wasn't a major issue. Overall, the service was outstanding; the waitress happily answered all my questions. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
Nice portions of well prepared and tasty food. Restaurant ambience (as opposed to trying to cram in a South American experience). Could easily take a date here, or a small family. I had several appetizers as opposed to a main meal, washed down by a sangria. Was more than pleased with a blackened blood sausage, a rarity that most people shy away from; absolutely delicious. Would love to return here to try the entire menu, but am based too far away in Jersey City.
This restaurant used to be one of my favorite Peruvian spots in Bushwick, but that changed with the new ownership. I ordered delivery, and the chicken was undercooked, while the soup was quite disappointing. I can't recommend this place anymore.
