   Lovely experience. Our waiter was very helpful and steered us in the right direction because everything he suggested was delicious. We shared all the dishes and would do it again because tasting the wonderful dishes was the way to make a restaurant like this one even more memorable.

   The service was excellent. I ordered the yuca and the Peruvian stew. The yuca was tasty with a rich sauce on it, but the fish flakes changed the taste to a smoky taste I didn’t enjoy. The Peruvian stew was okay, there were some bold tastes in there. I would go back but I would try other dishes. The 3 course meal for $28 is a great deal.

   Got the tasting menu and everything was absolutely fantastic. I immediately want to go back and re-order our favorites from the night!

   Excellent, creative food. Loved the popsicles for dessert. The pork belly wontons were perfect. The roasted shishito peppers were simple and perfectly executed. Really loved the octopus dish that was on special. Wonderful meal.

   Loma saltado and dim sum were delicious! Ambiance and food presentation was great. Service was excellent, food came quick and all servers were customer focused. Enjoyed dinner here on a week night prior to event at Capital One Arena.

   The food was decent. Nothing to rave about. Definitely more Asian influence than traditional Peruvian. Had a nice booth in the back of restaurant away from the bar. Every 5 minutes an obnoxious air handling unit or something above us would make this train like rumbling sound for 5-10 minutes making it impossible to have a decent conversation and the annoying pitch just disrupted the entire vibe and experience. This is the second or 3rd of chef Andres' restaurants we've been too. Underwhelmed by each of them. Love the man and support his charities but these DC restaurants leave something to be desired. Not sure if we'll go back next time we're in town or try something different.

   We had the more expensive of the two tasting menus. Every bite of food was full of flavor and delicious! Two items that could have been better: personally didn’t care for the chefs take on California Rolls — two doughy. It was a texture thing. And I’d have much preferred the wine tastings be more red focused or at least balanced. White wines were a bit sweet for the tasting. The service was fantastic! This is a great place and we will be back!

    I am a huge fan of all of the Jose Andres restaurants and China Chilcano is one of my favorites. The Lucky Twelve dim sum entree includes four pieces of each of the dumplings the restaurant offers, and all are delicious. For those not into dumplings, there are numerous diverse entrees. I'll return and frequently recommend this restaurant to my friends.
