Restaurante Machu Picchu: what do users think?
Joash Buenavista
Joash Buenavista: If you love Peruvian dish, this is the place to go. My wife brought me here because it was one of her favorite places to go. She’s a local but I’m the tourist. From the outside, it didn’t seem appealing enough to enter the restaurant. Needless to say, I was skeptical. But, to my surprise, after entering this restaurant, I found myself shocked at how elegantly put together the place looked. It had an old traditional Spanish feel to it. And to top it off, the dishes were absolutely amazing. My favorite dish out of my wife’s recommendations was the soup. Try it, the dish will surprise you with its rich savory flavor. I’d love to go back and try out other dishes. I suddenly love Peruvian.
Ken Buckheit
Ken Buckheit: The ceviche was to die for with large chunks of excellent seafood and mostly seafood instead of cheap filler. We also had a seafood soup which was also outrageous. I particularly enjoyed their homemade hot sauce which many might believe is too hit, but was perfect for me. I always love discovering a new type of pepper. The service was also outstanding.
Anastasiya Endeberya
Anastasiya Endeberya: Incredible and delicious food. Everything on the menu is extremely tasty and flavorful! Their causas and ceviche is phenomenal. I had their sea bass gratin and honestly I’ve never had anything that tasted so darn good! So much flavor in every dish. Their drinks are delicious and strong as well. Super clean place, with great atmosphere and incredible staff! You must come here if you’re in the area!
Nick Alfaro
Nick Alfaro: Such a fantastic experience. We flew in to San Jose and stayed at a hostel near by and chose this restaurant as our first meal in Costa Rica. The food and drinks were fantastic and very fresh. Highly recommend.
Alejandra Diaz
Alejandra Diaz: Great place to have Peruvian food, ceviches are super fresh. Tiraditos are very good too, prices are not too high for San Jose.
Yulia Palma
Yulia Palma: Great Peruvian food! Anticuchos were exceptional. The service was quick and polite! I recommend this place if you want to eat the finest authentic Peruvian food.
Jenna Marie Andrews
Jenna Marie Andrews: Fantastic place to have dinner. Ceviche Mixto is delicious and menu options are very good. Good wine selection, service is great, and they have a security guard that watches the restaurant. I stopped here between the bus and airport for a final ceviche hit, and was very happy. Highly recommended!Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Jeremy Davis
Jeremy Davis: Excellent food and service. Come with an empty stomach because they will feed you
Lori Williams
Lori Williams: We lived in Peru for 10 years. Since then we have traveled the world and this is by far the best and most authentic Peruvian food we have ever had our side of Peru. Portions were very plentiful. Food was delivered quickly and the waiter was attentive, friendly and helpful. Great night out!!
Restaurant Critic
Restaurant Critic: This place is as authentic as they come. The ceviche is the real deal. Big lumps of fresh fish with the real rocoto pepper juice. Comes with corn and juca and sweet potatoes and of course the onions. Yummy. The main course was a fish with fresh seafood on top. With some sort of a tomato sauce. It is delicious. Their beef with shrimp was just ok. I tried a little bit from my friend. The beef was not the most tender and the rest of the shrimp was cooked with no sauce or anything which is a small bummer for the dish. It does come with some grilled vegetables and cut pieces of sliced garlic for taste. My friend did enjoy the surf and turf however not so much the shrimp. For dessert, i ordered the coconut flan and it is a piece of art. Delicious, not so creamy or heavy but just the right amount of sweet. I highly recommend this place.

David Bethiel
David Bethiel: This is one of the best fine dining restaurants you will find in San Jose. The cost is commensurate with that level of quality, but frankly, it was reasonable for the experience. The food was excellent... loved the lamb shank. Reservations definitely recommended. This place will easily become a favorite for you to return to whenever you visit San Jose.
Hector Willars
Hector Willars: Excellent dinner and reasonably priced for a gourmet restaurant and exceptional service. Enjoyed dinner in the elegant dining room overlooking the open air courtyard. It happened to be lightly raining during dinner, making for a truly unique experience. Highly recommend.
Q L
Q L: We are the guest of the hotel and we decided to have dinner here as well, the atmosphere is amazing, they had decorated for the Christmas holiday, we had a pretty significant misunderstanding with the waiter (12/7th) luckily the manager stepped in and handled everything with one of the most professional customer centric approaches we have ever seen. We’d lovely to come back again and highly recommended.
Paul Jones
Paul Jones: This place was amazing! We stumbled into it by chance, and now we want to stay here at the hotel on our next trip (this time was just dinner).
Nicolas Steegmann
Nicolas Steegmann: Great service, presentation and vibe. We really enjoyed the environment but the food was flavorless. It’s not acceptable for a high-end restaurant that charges these prices to not have tasty delicious food
Nick Halverson VSB
Nick Halverson VSB: Absolutely wonderful restaurant. High quality and delicious food. Professional wait staff. Great ambiance (my group and I sat outside in the courtyard). I will definitely return.

Bahareh Gharaei
Bahareh Gharaei: After we wait for 20 minutes they gave us a table, and the manager took our order because he knew English, we asked him to recommend to us which food is popular and delicious. They had a not-good attitude, poor-quality food and were expensive. The drink was good and the star is for that.
L R
L R: We went to Sapore Trattoria on our last night in San Jose and it was a treat. The food was delicious, the desert was divine and the staff amazing. It made for a memorable evening for the four of us before we said farewell to San Jose and each other. Thank you for a great evening!
Kimberly Martin
Kimberly Martin: Excellent Italian! Had great service from Jimmy! Alex and Belki also!!Had linguini with mushroom sauce and sausage(champignon), eggplant parm, Cesar salad, and flat bread(excellent-they must use for the pizza) and tiramasu. They treated us fantastic!! Live music on a Tuesday at 7. Great Italian, French guitar music that you just seem to know. Great for date night! Or w/other a group-just not a big party atmosphere. Relaxed, enjoyable Italian dinner. Will be back. Highly recommend.
Dianna Fontanez
Dianna Fontanez: I’d give them 10 stars! Excellent service, meal and dessert!! I went for my birthday and the food was sooo good! Tasted so fresh with that home made taste! They sang happy birthday to me in italian. They sure went the extra mile to make my night a very happy one! I totally recommend it!!!
Katie Sanderson
Katie Sanderson: Lasagna at 📍 @saporetrattoria Rating: 🤩🤩 Must visit if your in the area Thoughts 💭 The carpaccio left a lot to be desired BUT the lasagna was out of this world. Only on a rare occasion have I had a nicer lasagna then this. The tiramisu was also very nice but do not come here without trying that lasagna! Reviews by @thefoodiestraveldiary

Joanne Lee
Joanne Lee: Great dining experience! Ordered the beef empanada and 3 mushroom over fried polenta for appetizers. The bread and butter were superb. My entree of beef in malbec reduction with potato gratin was delicious! Finished off with flan and decaf coffee. We went back for a second time during our short trip. Thank you for letting us in despite full house. We sat at the bar for dinner, desserts and drinks. The bar tenders were AWESOME. Thank you again for a great time.
Wendy Schweikert
Wendy Schweikert: Warm ambience, interesting decor, extensive menu and wine selection. Excellent service. We had reservations for lunch and everything met our high expectations. Our group shared mussels, empanadas, ensalada primavera, sopa pumpkin, Lomita en Bernese sauce, blood sausage. Chocolate mousse with walnuts for dessert. Be certain to request whipped cream with the mousse. All delicious! Highly recommend.
Efi Karra
Efi Karra: I visited this restaurant twice and the food was amazing both times. The decor and atmosphere is great. The service was excellent. I will absolutely come back to this restaurant when I visit CR again!
Steven
Steven: Believe the hype and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise Everything here is curated and executed with an immense accuracy The tenderloin steak was a perfect medium and juicy beyond my wildest dreams; potatoes seasoned beautifully Mozzarella empanadas; spinach croquettes, and polenta were appetizers and were all executed beautifully ..empanadas were light fluffy and crispy, croquettes were soft and flavorful while maintaining a crispy exterior We finished with flan, which had lovely dollops of caramel and was fragrant My hat goes off to the chef who brought Argentinian and Costa Rican palettes together at this beautiful spot, highly recommend The waiter was extra amazing and cut and plated everything in half so my wife and I could share everything, thank you <3
Francisco Javier Urra
Francisco Javier Urra: This is probably the best restaurant in Costa Rica. Everything is perfect. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is unbeatable. Service is top notch , with professional waiters that do their work flawless and rapidly, without any exaggeration (old style great waiters). Quality of the products are top. Decoration is like truly being in an old Buenos Aires restaurant. Wine list is amazing. And final bonus, it is located in a true building: that may sound awkward , so let me explain. Most restaurants in Costa Rica are located in shopping plazas, overseeing parking lots. Being myself European, that kills the experience a lot. La Esquina de Buenos Aires is not the case, you walk in , and it’s in an urban environment. So may say downtown San Jose is not the most appealing environment, but for me, not feeling in a US-style shopping “plaza” , it makes definitely a difference.
Mehreen Chaudry
Mehreen Chaudry: Amazing food and amazing service. Our waiter Jeison was incredible. Would recommend and hope to return.

Laine Walsh
Laine Walsh: This was our first restaurant upon arriving to Costa Rica and it was one of the best ones. It made an amazing first impression for us. The food was absolutely outstanding and delicious in every way. It had us hunting for certain dishes throughout the rest of our trip. The waiter was so helpful, kind, and friendly. Anyone in the area should add this restaurant to their itinerary.
Megan Muench
Megan Muench: The amount of food to price ratio is insane! Huge delicious portions of authentic Costa Rican food. Great atmosphere inside and the staff was really nice - even gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip!
Luis V
Luis V: The place is obviously a restaurant for tourists. Prices are not that cheap but the portions are huge. I wish the waiters would have told us the sizes to not waste food ordering a dish per person. At the end, there is a 10% "service fee" that is added to your check and on top of that they ask for tips For 2 persons the total amount was around 85usd
Heather Mina
Heather Mina: Staying in San Jose? THIS IS A MUST! The food, live music & atmosphere are perfect no matter where you are visiting from! You will find yourself singing along with the band by the end of the night - GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!
Jennifer Cheung
Jennifer Cheung: Had a great time here! We danced and took pics. The food was amazing. Had the pescado stuffed with seafood. Karina was our server and she was the best!!
Brittany Massaro
Brittany Massaro: This place was amazing! They had the best beans that we tried in Costa Rica.They meat was tender, moist, and flavorful. The guacamole was great.We ordered one of the meat plates for two and it easily could have feed three people.

Music and dancing for entertainment during dinner hour on a Thursday. Busy inside but amazing service and quick to get our food. Only downfall was being charged 1550 colones for a small cheap bottle of water. 10/10 would recommend this place. Prolly even go back tomorrow for a Kebbab
Johan Böhlin
Johan Böhlin: Great food! Very fresh and plenty of options. Clearly marked dishes for what is vegan and vegetarian. Also many many meat dishes. Service is friendly, fast and with good English skills. Five out of five falafels, would eat again.
Adityaa SNU
Adityaa SNU: Awesome place to have Lebanese food. Must try number 30 on the menu. It has all the dishes in small quantities for ur taste buds. The staff is courteous and really hats off to chefs.

Sarah Harkness
Sarah Harkness: The experience we had with Sergio aka Billy and sous chef Mariana was an incredible journey through the flavors of an equally delightful country. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to gain an elevated and intimate experience of Costa Rican cooking. Sergio is knowledgeable, passionate, and excited to share his love of food and country with his guests. As someone who has eaten at many of the top restaurants in the world, this was still by far one of my favorite dining experiences ever.
Andrew Morris
Andrew Morris: The intimate experience I had @ El Taller with Billy was one of the most best meal experiences that I have ever had. The six course meal was paired with a different glass of wine each time. Being able to see and speak directly with Billy as he was preparing the meal and listening to what his inspiration for the food was what made this such a wonderful experience. The meal was amazing and well thought out.

Francesca Cesari
Francesca Cesari: Not great food, at leat for an Italian. Had pizzq (seemed like the safest thing to order abroad) and it seemed rolled with a rolling pin as the base was like bread, not pizza. Taste was not that great - in sum, not a pizza. But service was good.
DCS
DCS: Great place and good attention! The menu and the quality are excellent!
Matthew Smith
Matthew Smith: We stopped here on our first night in San Jose. The wait staff was welcoming and able to understand our broken Spanish (and help us in English). I have a gluten allergy and our server helped me find options on the menu. We ordered multiple courses and I found the pacing to be relaxed, but not slow. Perfect to savor the food and atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Limoncello for great Italian style food in San José. Especially for those looking for gluten free options.
David McCurley
David McCurley: Classy place. Excellent service. Food was good. Medium price range.
Richard Blaser
Richard Blaser: Limoncello is spot on for food/price/service. They also have private dining rooms upstairs for meetings and such. The staff is extremely attentive and the food is delicious. They also offer gluten free options and will be very accommodating if you wish to change things about your meal.
Álvaro Justen
Álvaro Justen: One of the best restaurants in town. Well served dishes, amazing waiter, very interesting wine machine. There very good vegetarian options.

Sebas Garcia: Great place! Loved the decoration, and how the menu and the place is divided to represent different cultures! The staff was awesome, really helpful and nice. The menu has a lot of options, several of which are vegetarian, including main dishes and appetizers. The food was great, and the prices are affordable. We tried some wine and margaritas and they were pretty good ( they gave us the wine as a courtesy because of the dishes we ordered). There is no parking space directly in front of the place, but there is a cheap public parking a couple buildings away. Overall had a great experience, loved the place and would absolutely recommend it!
B Davis
B Davis: We have no idea how this restaurant has the reviews it does. We traveled all over Costa Rica for 2 weeks and this was the worst meal we had the entire time. We also traveled extensively for months through Southeast Asia and had a lot of authentic food - this was worse than we could have cooked at home. We ordered Tin Jo Special, Korean Chicken and Orange Chicken. All of the sauces were gelatinous and worse than you can buy from a jar in a supermarket in the US. The chicken dishes were barely fried, just soft, mushy breading covered in disgusting sauce. The kitchen didn’t even bother to sprinkle the orange chicken with sesame seeds. Seems to us like the restaurant is lazy, working off their good reviews they received years ago but doing nothing to upkeep them. Even the rice was poorly cooked, clumpy and cold. The drinks were good. The sangria was delicious and so was the tamarind soda. Also the decor was nice, and rooms with decor from different countries was creative. But as far as the food goes, trying to recreate dishes from so many countries well, can be difficult and this restaurant can’t do it. If you come to this area of town and are looking for a great, authentic place to eat, the Argentine place a street away is mind blowing by comparison.
Response: Good afternoon B Davis, it is a pleasure to greet you, my name is Karol, I am the person in charge of service at Tin Jo. I am very sorry to read about your experience, I would like to somehow make up for the bad time you had and that you do not end up with this bad taste in your mouth. Tin Jo is a restaurant that has been pleasing palates for 51 years and providing experiences that encompass atmosphere, service, and food. We love giving away moments and making your experiences unique. If you feel comfortable coming back, we will be happy to serve you and make a little of your previous bad experience. It will be a pleasure to serve you and we will be waiting for you with open hearts!
Bryan Astua
Bryan Astua: I’m just amazed not only by the food quality but also about the whole experience. This is a multicultural restaurant, menu and ambiance. The host Allen is an extremely attentive person and gave us a guided tour through the restaurant. I’m for sure going to recommend this restaurant to my friends and family
Vincent Joseph
Vincent Joseph: Excellent choice of Asian foods: menu organized by country and style of foods with clear selection of spice level (from none, to mild to extra hot). Good ambiance in each room.
A C
A C: Really good food, but today they messed up badly on service. They sent food to one of 5 people first. Then took over an hour to bring the appetizers that should have arrived first. We talked to them about 4 times to check on the food and it still took forever. The first person had finished her food and was ordering dessert by the time our arrived. Very disappointed.
John Davison
John Davison: What a great selection of vegetarian dishes! I chose the Sichuan mapo tofu with passionfruit juice (an ideal combination!)
Response: Thank you very much for your comment, it fills our hearts with joy that you enjoy our mapo tofu, we remind you that every Monday is vegetarian Monday, so all our vegetarian menu is at a 20% discount.

Response: Thank you for your opinion, we are glad that you like our space and our variety of food
Mrs Blobby
Mrs Blobby: Place is very pretty & comfy. However it felt expensive considering the amount of food you get. I also had to wait more than 45 minutes for a burger.
Response: Thank you for your opinion, we work to improve day by day
A V
A V: First spot as soon as you enter has an amazing tuna tartare and fish tacos. Pizza spot at the bottom has really good and semi-strong sangrias. This spot has the best vibes with a local feel.
Response: Thank you for your opinion, we hope to see you soon so that you can enjoy the other gastronomic options that you find in our space.

Yiannis Chrysostomidis: Very nice ceviche and also ukelele is a must visit. Great drinks and lovely people
Response: Thanks , for your opinion
Sarah Spinelli
Sarah Spinelli: Really enjoyed this spot! Clearly a local favorite. It reminded me of a food truck park, minus the food trucks. Really fun space with eclectic vibes to match the different types of food represented by each stall. There was a fabulous mixologist, an incredible Asian stall, and a little place called Ukelele with some of the best burritos I’ve ever had. Lots of other choices as well (gelateria, burger stand, meats, etc)
Response: We are glad you enjoyed our space. we wait for you soon again.

Tanitiã Munroe
Tanitiã Munroe: Where do I begin? Everything at this place is scrumptious! The food is quite filling and flavourful. They have incredible natural juices and their pastry rich. Everyone should try their pie made with passion fruit filling and homemade jam. Incredible atmosphere and friendly staff. Ask for Cassandra aka Cassie. This is one of my favorite places in San Jose.
Response: Tanitiã thank you so much. I will transfer your kind words to Cassie.
Johanna Tseng
Johanna Tseng: Vietnamese inspired restaurant with vegan and vegetarian options. The food feels like it’s on the lighter side, especially since you get to control the amount of sauce that goes into your food. The con of that is that your sauce mixture probably won’t taste as good as if would be if they just made it for you. Noodles for the bun weren’t traditional bun rice noodles, and the chicken was pretty dry. Overall a cute place to visit but not my favorite meal. Lots of potential that hasn’t been realized yet.
Response: Hello Johanna. I am really sad you didn’t enjoy our food that much. I am Taking note of the chicken being dry. Both dipping sauces are home made specially for these dishes, maybe you can tell us on private how would you like us to improve them. Thanks for your time.
Amy P
Amy P: Not a typical Vietnamese restaurant, but a good fusion with local delicacy, like smoked trout! Many vegan and vegetarian options as well!! I was there once at the beginning of my trip and I had to go there again at the end of my trip on my stop in San Jose. The Iced Coffee with Ginger is a must-try, especially if you like ginger. It’s pre-sweetened, but that’s what reminded me of ginger tea in Asia. The trout spring roll was very delicious, though it would be better if the sesame seeds were toasted. There was no sesame taste otherwise. The Bun with Smoked Trout and eggplants was also a good combination, with the fish sauce mixture and a little spicy sauce. Never had a chance to try their desserts because I was so full with the foods!! This is so far my favorite place to eat in San Jose other than the typical foods.
Response: Amy, thanks for your generous and detailed review. We are more than pleased to know you had a good time.
Shayla White
Shayla White: As a vegan, I have been having trouble finding good restaurants to eat at, so when I found this place I was really happy, and they did not disappoint! The food was delicious, and the iced coffee was even better! The vegan chocolate cake surpassed my expectations:) The vibe of the place was perfect and really cute, and the staff was extremely friendly and spoke very good English, which I was especially grateful for. Overall, Cafe Rojo has been one of my favorite spots in San Jose! My non-vegan friends really enjoyed the food also:)
Response: Soooo glad you enjoyed our vegan options. We try to have an inclusive place where everybody can find what they need. Thanks so much for your rating!
Tomer Shenhav
Tomer Shenhav: Fantastic place. We came as a family w/ 3 picky children (3,6 & 8). The place is beautiful and well decorated, with a few tables outside, and 4 home like rooms with very comfortable tables inside. The staff was amazing and helped us a lot with customize any meal for our children. The food was really good - you simply build your own meal and then gets few mins of sauces to the table, so you can "control" your flavour. The cocktails were amazing! Vegetarian options: They have various vegetarian options, incl. a really good soy based sauce which reminds the traditional fish sauce. Kid-friendliness: They can adapt any dish or side dish to children.
Response: Hello Tomer, We are happy you and your children could have a good meal. Thank for reviewing us!
Shiri Ayalon
Shiri Ayalon: We were fortunate enough to find Cafe Rojo on our first night in San José, and we returned day after day over our eight day stay . The food is THAT good!! So is the service, the warm atmosphere, and the delectable desserts. My personal favorites are the trout, the ginger coffee, and the Chilean Torte. Fantástico!!
Response: So many thanks for those kind words. We are really glad you enjoyed our offer.

Jay Frank
Jay Frank: Went here for dinner because a colleague recommended this place.....and now I fully understand why. The dining room was fully booked so we sat at the bar. Jorge and Jerry at the bar to excellent care of us. Gave good menu and drink recommendations. Both great ambassadors for the restaurant! It is not a cheap place but absolutely quality food and drinks! Highly recommend this place.
Steven
Steven: Fine dining as best in the world as I’ve experienced House bread, beef carpaccio, ribeye charred and cooked to a perfect medium, duck confit, pesto mash, Gorgonzola mash Everything executed beautifully. It was a true dining experience and a pleasure. Thank you what a birthday meal Shoutout to the pineapple basil smash, excellent cocktail
Nicholas Alexander
Nicholas Alexander: Top three restaurants in the country. Truly everything was amazing. The drinks were amazing. Must try the foie, and as many apps as possible
Irene Urena
Irene Urena: I’ve been coming to this place since they open and it is a wonderful surprise that they’re still as good and keep the menu interesting. Beautiful restaurant and location it is my number one recommendation for friends visiting San Jose. Today a table was getting little rowdy and the manager decided not to sell more alcohol to them, I’ll give them extra points for keeping it classy. Their Goat Milk and Passionfruit Panna Cotta is my all time favorite but food here is very consistent and service is also wonderful.
Serena Bendycki
Serena Bendycki: Prepare yourself for an amazing culinary adventure. From the instance you sit down you’re graced with a welcoming ambiance and friendly staff. Their cocktail presentation is second to none, and the quality of drink and food is no different. Can not recommend enough if you’re in the San Jose area. Oh, did I mention they have their own herb garden? See photos for pepper plant!
Nick Halverson VSB
Nick Halverson VSB: Furca is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, anywhere in the world. The food is amazing - I ordered the prime rib and portobello mushroom sandwich. I love sandwiches - but this is in a different all together. You can taste the quality of ingredients is unparalleled. Every detail has been thought out and planned. From the way the bread is served (along with 3 different spreads) to the way the presentation of the food is done. Exquisite. We discovered it and went there three times in a matter of 2.5 days…and we will be back. Wonderful staff. Reservations are encouraged if dining after 7 pm. Get there earlier without a reservation.
Mike Marshall
Mike Marshall: Great food, refined atmosphere but not pretentious... servers were informed and polite. Not inexpensive but a welcomed and accommodating evening..
Marcus Petteway
Marcus Petteway: Absolutely delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. The seafood was so fresh and the cocktails were a hit! Definitely a must try when you are in Costa Rica!
Katie Sanderson
Katie Sanderson: Dinner at 📍 @furcacr Rating: 🤩🤩 Must visit if your in the area Thoughts 💭 Wow, what a delight. A beautiful restaurant in Rohrmoser, Costa Rica. The complimentary range of breads were all delicious. Our mains were both outstanding. We got Picanha and my favourite of the night duck and caramelised onions confit. The really nailed the meat here. We ordered the foie potatoes as a side which weren’t too great but the Gorgonzola mash potato was very nice. Reviews by @thefoodiestraveldiary

Bonana Boi
Bonana Boi: Not gonna lie, this is the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been in the world. You’re hungry? Great. They have everything you need, you will eat a lot, you will be full but you’ll keep eating and it’s not easy to stop! Because the portions are HUUUGE, and it tastes AMAZING!EVERYTHING is amazing, the smell, the crunchiness, the sauces, the meat! You eat and you can’t stop, your stomach is full and you about to blow up but the food is just too good 😂 Also the prices are surprisingly low for this high quality and THAT amount of servings. WORTH VISITING!
RL MRLS
RL MRLS: Went to have lunch here after a long time, to my pleasure I still felt the same welcoming atmosphere and the staff friendliness. The food was as good as it has always been, every single plate brought to the table was delicious from the fried wonton appetizer to the vegetable fried rice, the bistec encebollado, the arroz tostado con camarones and the one with chicken. We all really enjoyed eating here once more. Recommended.
Laura Heeremans
Laura Heeremans: The best Chinese food in Costa Rica. We always buy a share dish with my family of 8, is perfect because you can try a bit of everything. Quality, freshness and friendly staff. Prices are high but good for what you get.
Alaina Danae
Alaina Danae: Great restaurant! Fast service and yummy food! Accepts card or Colones. Free park in front of the restaurant and on the street. Meals are $8-$10
jay berg
jay berg: I live close to this restaurant, and have ate here about 20 times. Normally Excellent food. This rating is based on all my satisfied experiences and my last experience. Finding a long black hair mixed in with my food is bad. I gave it to the waitress. Before I dismissed it I pulled out another. You make your own decision. I walked out.
Timothy Davis
Timothy Davis: The food is good but a bit different than I’m used to. Maybe it’s a Costa Rican thing. The Mongolian Beef is fried which I’ve never experienced before….?
Al A. Bama
Al A. Bama: Most excellent service. Highly recommended! Not too crazy about the egg rolls, but the rest of our food is delicious! For a party of 4, we ordered Plan #1, #R17, Wanton soup, and egg rolls. Our waiter, Luis, is the best! We will definitely return the next time we visit Costa Rica.
Angel Vinson-Boggess
Angel Vinson-Boggess: Great food! Friendly staff. Everything we had was good! Just be careful if they ask you if you want the food wet they really mean wet! Lol bit it was still very god fresh vegetables and very tasty.
Federico Rivera
Federico Rivera: This is a very traditional Chinese restaurant in San Jose. You can see a line of tradition from year to year just by taking a look at their menu with more than 100 plates and combinations. All dishes are generous and meant to be shared with others as the Chinese style. If your new to the restaurant, you should try the Arroz Frito De La Casa. I also tried the Cantonese beef, the spicy pork and the chicken with broccoli. They were all delicious. Prices are fair. Restaurant is old fashioned, family owned, traditional and classical. Will come back again.
