Chifa

Step into Chifa in Eagle Rock and you’ll immediately understand why this spot has become a neighborhood gem. The dining room is a showstopper—think jade accents and marble surfaces that create an atmosphere both elegant and inviting. This Cantonese-Peruvian fusion restaurant draws inspiration from the owner’s family restaurant in Peru, bringing a unique culinary heritage to the streets of Los Angeles.

The menu bridges two distinct food cultures in surprisingly harmonious ways. You’ll find comforting bowls of spicy beef noodle soup alongside tender si yao chicken, and traditional zongzi—sticky rice parcels wrapped in banana leaves and stuffed with Chinese sausage, pork belly, and earthy mushrooms. The pollo a la brasa brings that classic Peruvian rotisserie magic, while the mapo tofu offers a nod to Sichuan traditions.

What really makes Chifa shine is how it balances these influences without feeling confused or gimmicky. The space itself is worth visiting even before you taste a single dish, but the food more than holds up its end of the bargain. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger over your meal and soak in the atmosphere.

Whatever you order, do yourself a favor and leave room for the black sesame cheesecake tarts. These little beauties are an absolute must—creamy, nutty, and the perfect sweet note to end your meal. Chifa is ideal for anyone who appreciates creative cooking with genuine soul behind it.
