Surprise this place has such high reviews. 6 of us order different things to bring home and none were anything we go back for. Also forgot to put in 3 items in the order. Saw it on dinner and dives and figured it was worth...a try. Oh well we can say we gave it a go!More

We just had THE BEST EXPERIENCE HERE! Get the pork belly sandwich and wash it down w a pineapple smoothie!! HOLY OMG! Loved every bite! We were so impressed with the owners love for what he does- FRESH FROM SCRATCH EVERYTHING!!!!! Go go go!!!More

First time having Peruvian food and it was delicious! I ordered the pork belly sandwich and my friend order the chicken stew. Food was tasty and fresh. Staff were very friendly and wait time was under 5 minutes. I’d recommend this place for sure!More

I live kind of far away from this place. Being Peruvian had a bit of craving for a Peruvian pan con chicharron as I saw images and good reviews. Took my teenage daughter on a Sunday hoping to find basics, good food and friendly service....Upon arrival asked a man there (believe owner) was in a bad mood, restaurant a bit empty. I asked him about the sandwiches he said they had oriental seasoning. Asked him if he didn't have the Peruvian with salsa criolla as advertised, he got mad. I told him just wanted to ask, and that I really wanted a sandwich, and he told me I ask stupid questions. Also the price he said was $12.99 for each, higher than what the page offers. I pointed to this and he got even madder. Three sandwiches and drinks would have cost nearly $50. I quickly turned around and left. Drive all the way there wasn't lost. Went to Peruvian Seafood place (has the name of Hemignway's favorite fishing spot in north Peru) a couple of blocks away and was treated very nicely. Big dishes, friendly service which is what matters most but the food was good and unlike J28 it was completely crowded. I think no question about the menu should be considered stupid, particularly as Peruvian pan con chicharron is a traditional recipe and it was advertised as such. Not as an oriental creation. Best option is to go to Pork and Belly restaurant (McNab), though you have to add the Peruvian criolla sauce, which Cabo Blanco sold me for $3.99. I am sorry I had to write this review but trying to ruin somebody's Sunday food outing deserves this. I waited a day to reconsider writing something and I think is well deserved. I must add I do not believe the reviews at all, otherwise volume would show it. Must add I am a Peruvian food enthusiast and this is a very rare experience. Peruvians are mostly friendly and glad to receive customers at most restaurants but apparently not here. Didn't try the food but if it would have been good perhaps the place would have looked like the restaurant I ended up going. I thank the owner of this place for his rudeness as it was an opportunity to practice tolerance and led me to a really good place I will visit repeatedly and direct all well meaning customers to it.More

Amazing Peruvian food, very well priced. The guy who runs it is the nicest. We will come back for sure.More

I have never been here but I order catering for office lunches. The food is always fresh and delicious! The owner is personable and professional. The best empanadas I have ever had. We have the spinach, chicken and beef and they are all amazing. My...personal fave is the beef empanda. I definitely recommend trying them.More

Sitting right on Young Circle this small, clean, bright compact rstaurant is worth the stop. Place your order at the counter, with the owner, atake a seat at the table or bench. Someone will bring your order to the table. It was my son and...I for a saturday lunch. Went for a Butifarra(sliced roasted pork) sandwich and a Chicharron(chunks of pork belly) sandwich. Both were server on a huge round roll loaded with a type of Peruvian cole slaw, onions and a special sauce, cut in half.... it's so, so big. Super juicy, flavorful with spicey sauce served on-the-side. At $9-10's they are a steal. Dont miss the Chicha, a Peruvian all-natural fruit juice. Very refreshing! Super nice staff, big, clean bathrooms.More

We came back to J 28 for lunch to try again Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina both delicious. Very clean, good music, overall very satisfiying.More

Selected this little restaurant for a belated celebratory Peruvian lunch (Independence Day =July 28... likely the source of the moniker J28). Very clean and bright little spot with seating for about 20 inside. Food options are a modern spin on some Peruvian favorites. Loma Saltado....Canchita served warm. Chicha morado (order at counter). Lucama smoothies. Prices were a little higher than expected but overall good food in a clean place hosted by very courteous staff.More

The owner happily greeted us when we walked through the doors and were met with immediate service, including descriptions of what was on the menu and answering any questions we had about the meals available. We ordered at the counter and were told to sit...down and await our food which he quickly brought out to us. The sandwich was delicious! A large homemade roll of bread with a bowl of meat and other ingredients held in an amazing sauce. On the side was a nice portion of homemade steak fries with a fantastic Peruvian dipping sauce to accompany them. We highly recommend that you visit J28 to have a taste of some of the amazing Peruvian cuisine which the owner makes with care. Buen provecho!More

I really love this sandwich place! I have tried their Butifarra, chicharron sandwich, lomo saltado...all of them great. True Peruvian flavors.I highly recommend itMore

Have been there a couple of times while showing condos in Hollywood. The owner is very friendly and takes his time to explain to you about the food, ingredients and the preparation. The empanadas are amazing. We have had the mushroom bowl with rice and...beans, great blend of tastes. Will have to go back to try the other dishes soon. Small place but very clean and comfortable. They are very passionate about their food and their serviMore
