On the eve of Chinese New Year, many families celebrate tradition by gathering for a feast at the matriarch's home—a time when delicious food is shared and stories are exchanged.
Chifa, meaning 'to eat' in Cantonese, not only represents Chinese-Peruvian cuisine but also embodies the resilience and warmth of a family that has nourished a community for decades.

The legacy of Chifa began with Wendy in Lima, Peru, where it transformed into a unique space that celebrated flavors from both cultures long before they immigrated to America.
