Simple Peruvian - Sunnyside

I had a delicious meal here. I got the Lomo Saltado, which is steak, onions and french fries in a tasty brown sauce. The steak was so tender and delicious! The fries were perfect and it also came with a side of rice and the Peruvian green sauce. The staff is very friendly and welcoming too! I can't wait to go back to try some of their other dishes.

I visited Simple Peruvian in Sunnyside after seeing it trending all over social media, but unfortunately, it was a total disappointment. As a Peruvian, I found the food lacked the authentic flavor and soul our cuisine is known for; I ordered the Tallarin Saltado de Pollo—a very simple dish—and it was completely flavorless, resembling a basic mix of chicken and vegetables rather than a properly seasoned stir-fry. While the restaurant is notably clean, the prices are average, and the service is friendly, the kitchen definitely needs significant improvement to meet authentic standards. Hopefully, others have a better experience, so feel free to try it for yourself, but for me, the seasoning just wasn't there.

4.5 Located on busy Greenpoint Ave in Sunnyside. Has been ok getting meter parking in this area. Close to the 7 train and buses on Queens Boulevard. There is a counter to place your order but we did on the kiosk, then took a number to place on our table. Food was brought to us by one of the staff, and they also cleared our table. Restaurant does not have waiter service but felt like it did anyway. Tip jar in the front on the counter. Portion size is not as large as other restaurants but the prices for some entrees are lower which was ok. Some are good for 2 people per dish, maybe 3, esp if sharing a few entrees. Lomo Saltado was tasty with tender beef strips and fried potatoes. Didn't see a lot of chicken in the Arroz Chaufa con Pollo but still liked it. Jalea was a favorite; liked it w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simple Peruvian is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely spectacular — the jalea was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The airport chaufa was just as impressive, packed with bold flavors and generous portions that made it a standout dish. The sampler is a great choice as it covers all angles of the palette. On top of the incredible food, the staff made the experience even better. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, which gave the meal such a positive vibe. If you’re craving authentic Peruvian flavors in a fast casual setting, Simple Peruvian should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Simple Peruvian Restaurant is a great spot if you're craving real Peruvian food. They have a solid selection on the menu I tried the seafood fried rice and it was flavorful and well cooked. The jalea was also really good, with a nice mix of fried calamari, fried fish, and fried shrimp, all crispy and not greasy. The ceviche really stood out too very fresh and packed with flavor. Overall, a solid Peruvian spot with good portions and authentic dishes. Definitely worth coming back.
