Great first experience at Chifa Tití! Everything was very good. I really enjoyed the tofu with vegetables, and the meat was absolutely delicious, very well prepared and full of flavor. It was my first time here, but definitely not the last. I will come back for sure!
We were very fortunate to have a relative help us secure a reservation at Titi Chinese Restaurant. This spot is extremely popular, and reservations can be difficult to get unless you plan ahead and make one with a deposit. We were told by several people that this was considered the best Chinese restaurant in town, so our expectations were definitely high going in. We went as a group of eight, all of us hungry and excited to try as much as we could. The restaurant has a reputation for its wide variety of dishes, so we decided to go all in and order family style, sharing everything at the table. In total, we ordered more than sixteen different dishes. I honestly couldn’t even begin to name them all, but that didn’t matter—every single one of them was outstanding. From seafood to meats to vegetables, everything was packed with flavor, beautifully cooked, and brought to the table steaming hot. One thing that stood out beyond the food itself was the service. For such a busy and in-demand restaurant, the staff never made us feel rushed. They were attentive, kept everything moving smoothly, and made sure our large table was well taken care of. The dishes arrived quickly, one after another, always fresh from the kitchen and piping hot, which made sharing them even better. Overall, the experience lived up to the hype. Between the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the energy of the place, I can easily see why it’s considered the best. If you are in town and love Chinese food, this is a must-visit—but definitely make a reservation in advance.
All food reviews are subjective and this is from the point of view of an ethnic Chinese person from SE Asia who is a little bit of a foodie. My food rating reflects expectations for a pricy restaurant. We asked for less salt as prior experience showed us that Peruvians like more salt. Ordered the chaufa (with prawns, bbq meat), wan tan soup, garlic beef with black bean sauce (confusingly there is another dish with black bean sauce) and their apparent specialty sweet bbq pork ribs. The wantan soup came with very little soup and lots of loaded ingredients such as bbq pork, roasted duck, chicken strips, cabbage, pigeons egg and the eponymous wantan. The soup was pretty good - pity there was too little of it. The bbq pork and duck was v good with a hint of smoked flavor. The chicken was v tough but I suspect there because it was part of the broth (might be an old chicken or rooster). The wantan, however, was too large to fit into the mouth and the skin was very thick and the taste was mediocre. Overall a mixed result. I think can just leave out the egg, the chicken and balance out with more soup and cabbage. Also the wantan can be improved on wrt skin and size as mentioned. The chaufa was nicely done. Its taste was brightened by the plump shrimp pieces and the bbq pork (again the bbq). Thumbs up on this. The beef was good. It basically tasted like char grilled steak sliced and doused in a black sauce (I think black bean provides the basis). If it were up to me, I’d have added quite a bit more spring onions. The pork ribs - advertised as a specialty of the restaurant - was the biggest disappointment. The pork ribs did not have any “porky” taste and the meat texture was odd. It was overwhelmed by the sauce which I would say tasted exactly like the thai sweet chilli sauce I can buy at any random supermarket at home. I gave a 5 for atmosphere (for a tourist) as the restaurant was packed with Peruvians out for lunch. I gave a 3 for service because (a) the handle of the tea pot broke (it’s a cheap thing with plastic ties) and (b) they actually forgot our pork ribs order and had to be reminded so we ended the meal with the worse dish of the lot.
I went to Titi without many expectations and ended up genuinely surprised. Everything was really good. It’s the kind of place you’d come back to without thinking twice.
This is very nice restaurant with classic Peruvian-Chinese (chifa) food. Portions are generous, service is quick and attentive, excellent for bigger groups. The food was delicious and I would like to come again. Reservation is highly recommended. Excellent place. 5 out of 5.
