Lomo Saltado tells the story of Chinese immigration to Peru and the beauty that emerges when cultures meet in the kitchen. Born from the “chifa” tradition, it blends wok-fired technique with Peruvian ingredients in a dish that became something entirely its own.

At China Chilcano, we celebrate it with wok-fired beef filet, tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, brought together with soy sauce and ají amarillo... packed with flavor and rooted in the story of Peru.

Cherry blossom season is our favorite...not just because DC is blooming all around us and the cold is finally starting to fade, but because it inspires us to get creative in the kitchen 🌸

Celebrate the season with special dishes like our crispy Crab Rangoon, served with a cherry sweet and sour sauce, or our Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, delicately steamed and paired with ají rocoto soy sauce.

Join us for Cherry Blossom Fest and see how we're celebrating! Reservations at the link in bio.

Is there a better duo than Donburi + Dim Sum? We’ll wait. 🥟🥢

Lunch is officially easy (and delicious) with our Tuna Donburi. We layer the freshest tuna, creamy avocado, and red onion over a bed of perfectly steamed rice, plus the crunch of puffed quinoa and the bright tang of pickled nabo in every bite.

The finishing touch? The crispiest fried egg just waiting to run over it all. 🍳✨

Stop by China Chilcano and level up your lunch break.

It’s a good day when the boss stops by. It’s an even better day when he loves the food so much he needs to share it with the world 🌎

So if you didn’t believe us before, believe us now. China Chilcano is the place for Dim Sum...where paper-thin dumplings burst with flavor in every bite. And yes, José agrees.
