Shout out to NG, the manager — super professional and friendly service! The food was amazing; the Peruvian-Japanese fusion was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. We had the edamame, Chotto ceviche, Chotto Caesar, spicy tuna Hako roll, Pollo Picante, BBQ Huacatay broccoli, Salmon Anticucho, and for dessert, the passion fruit crème brûlée with lychee and coconut ice mochi, plus the chocolate Nutella churros. Everything was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this spot — great food, great service, great vibe. Whoever designed the menu for this restaurant is OBSESSED with flambéing most of the dishes... it's a bit tedious eating everything smoky when many dishes are actually quite good without it... I'd say it interferes a lot with the flavor, which is already quite good... It's normal for plates to break from use, but it's very unpresentable to receive a broken plate that I wouldn't use at home. The music was very good. The service was fine. I tried two non-alcoholic drinks on the menu and didn't like them; they were bitter, and I think most of us who don't drink alcohol do so because we detest bitterness. In short, I thought it was okay, but I wouldn't go back. I haven't even paid yet, and I already wrote this review when I usually take days to do so. Also I’m here maybe 10mins without water and almost 6 persons working and ANYONE bring me water… THE BOY was cooking he send someone 🫶 Requested a private booth for our anniversary when booking but the server said that it’s only for 4 people. Would have been nice to be secluded instead of being sat right next to other people. I also expected to receive a dessert for our anniversary especially for the amount you are paying for the food, but we had to order our own dessert. Other than that the food was delicious. The pollo den miso chicken was very tasty, the cod was very soft. The wedge salad was refreshing & flavorful. The sushi roll was warm and melted in your mouth. The creme brûlée was not too sweet.

Had a great time at Chotto. The food was delicious and our server Megan made sure we are comfortable all the way. The manager of the restaurant NG was super ptofessional and fun. A great place to enjoy with friends and family. Will definitely be back.

We recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food itself tasted okay, but the portions were quite small for the prices, which was disappointing. What affected our experience the most was the very slow service. Our table was served in two separate rounds — half of us got our meals first, and the other half waited so long that some of us were already finished eating before the rest of the food arrived. We also had to ask multiple times for items we ordered, like rice and fries, and each one came with significant delays. Even after requesting that everything be served together, it still took about 20–30 minutes for all dishes to arrive. Overall, the food was okay, but the slow service and small, overpriced portions made the experience less enjoyable. Could be better with improved organization and timing.
