Aji Peruvian Cuisine - Long Beach

AMAZING experience definitely worth multiple visits! We had terrific service with great food and beer. Recommend the Chicharone sliders, Grilled octopus (Pulpo), Arrocito Norteño (seafood rice dish), picarones (peruvian donuts), pisco Sour ice cream. We are going back to eat more.

My date and I had Peruvian plates and it was delicious. Great food and service.

Got the Tacu Tacu with an apanado. Both were great. Staff was very friendly and they were so fast too. Nice decor. It's a great place. Would definitely come back.

We were looking for a Peruvian restaurant near us and found this hidden gem. The food was amazing and the staff phenomenal. The suggestions were o point. I was very impresses with the level of care and the quality of the food. We will be back for more for sure.

There are not many choices for Peruvian cuisine in the general South Bay area and I am glad I live so close to one as good as this. Parking is not too bad, especially since that indoor dining is an option again, you can park in the back of the restaurant, or on 4th street eastbound you would have more luck than the corridor on the west with all the other great restaurants. The interior is very homey feeling; scattered plants, a brick wall, a beautiful and delicious wine rack wall. Seriously, you must try a different glass bottle of wine every time you come here. If you are a white wine drinker, especially, their sauvignon blanc selection in on par! I've been here a few times, trying multiple dishes. One thing that is very consistent is the portion size. Think you can finish a main dish yourself? Think again! Unless you can, then good for you, but I am always happy for leftovers. You cannot go wrong with any of the classic chaufa (fried rice dishes), the tallarine verde, lomo saltado, etc. The appetizers are all shareable and equally delicious. I highly recommend splitting everything if you are with a party just so you can try a little of each! Their menu does say they do not allow substitutions, which is unfortunate for some with dietary restrictions, but to keep dishes authentic, I can understand from their perspective why.
