Al llegar rápidamente, nos entregaron el menú. No me gustó, a pesar de que tenía imágenes, había descripciones y los nombres de los platos. Los precios eran muy altos. Esto generó una barrera de entrada en mi modo de visualización del restaurante y lo que mi tío me había dicho sobre que era muy bueno.

En una de las paredes había un billete de 100 nuevos soles emitido por el banco central de reserva del Perú. Aproveché para tomarle varias fotografías y guardarlas como anécdota a la hora de redactar ésta reseña.

En el restaurante también había un estante con productos peruanos y un certificado. Me llamó la atención, aunque no me acerqué mucho a él.

Debo destacar, que a éste restaurante fui con mi hermano y mi tío. Pedimos como plato de entrada un ceviche. Lamentablemente, su sabor no era bueno, tenía demasiados tostones, y poco pescado. Su valor era muy alto con relación a otros restaurantes que he visitado.

En Perú, según mi hermano y mi tío, un buen ceviche se puede comer por 40 soles (uno de los mejores). 40 soles son un poco más de 11 USD, o HBD. Éste ceviche que comimos con un tamaño pírrico tenía un precio de 9 USD, o HBD. Además, no tenía una buena presentación.

El factor elemental que no hace resaltar éste platillo es la falta de proporción. Hay un claro desequilibrio que no permite disfrutarlo. Otras variables es la calidad de los ingredientes y sabor.

En la mesa había también dos salsas para untar en la comida. Una era picante, comí un poco de ésta junto al ceviche. Me gustó su presentación y como se veían bien en el restaurante las fotografié. Un pequeño detalle que llamaba mucho la atención.

El plato principal que ordenamos fue un “Mostrico”. Éste platillo peruano está compuesto por arroz frito, muslos de pollo, y papas fritas. El “Mostrico” fue servido de una manera poco atractiva. Según mi hermano y tío, el plato en Perú se prepara con un corte de pechuga de pollo y un muslo; sin embargo, el que nos sirvieron solamente tenía un muslo de pollo. La mayor peculiaridad es que estaba abierto como si estuviera deshuesado.

El arroz de éste “Mostrico”, según lo que pedimos, era arroz Chaufa. La verdad, no estaba rico. Cada plato costó 8 USD, o HBD. Un precio muy alto a mi modo de ver.

La atención en el restaurante no fue perfecta; según lo que me comentó mi tío, es que la comida había desmejorado mucho. Además, los precios eran excesivos para la poca calidad de servicio y condiciones del espacio.

El concepto del restaurante es muy llamativo, pero lamentablemente la calidad de la comida no era buena y a eso le sumo una atención precaria. Fui a éste restaurante en junio de éste año 2024. Me costó un poco escribir sobre la experiencia que viví en él. La cuenta en total dio casi 30 USD, o HBD, que pagué en moneda de curso legal venezolana. Toda una anécdota, es uno de los lugares que no recomiendo visitar; pero puede que tu experiencia sea diferente a la mía.

ENGLISH VERSION (click here!)

A few months ago, my uncle told me that there was a place that we should visit and that we would like very much. The name of this restaurant was King Fusion Chifa. I had never eaten Peruvian food before, but my uncle insisted that the trip would be worth it and the food would be delicious.

This restaurant is very far from the city of Barquisimeto. In a private car, from where I live, it is about a 30-minute drive. After all, it is located on Bolivar Avenue of the Rastrojos, Cabudare, Lara State. They currently have a branch in Nueva Segovia, in the east of Barquisimeto. Will I go there? I don't think so.

The place has a simplistic decoration, very unstructured and elegant. The style is simple, and the name of the brand is strange. The color of the restaurant was predominantly red, typical of the Peruvian flag. In my opinion, there is no identity in the brand.

When we arrived quickly, we were given the menu. I did not like it, even though it had pictures, descriptions and the names of the dishes. The prices were very high. This created a barrier to entry in my viewing mode of the restaurant and what my uncle had told me about it being very good.

On one of the walls was a 100-new soles bill issued by the central reserve bank of Peru. I took the opportunity to take several pictures of it and keep them as an anecdote when writing this review.

In the restaurant, there was also a shelf with Peruvian products and a certificate. It caught my attention, although I didn't get too close to it.

I should point out that I went to this restaurant with my brother and uncle. We ordered a ceviche as a starter. Unfortunately, its taste was not good; it had too many tostones and not enough fish. Its value was very high in relation to other restaurants I have visited.

In Peru, according to my brother and uncle, a good ceviche can be eaten for 40 soles (one of the best). 40 soles is a little over 11 USD, or HBD. This ceviche we ate with a Pyrrhic size was priced at 9 USD, or HBD. Also, it did not have a good presentation.

The elemental factor that does not make this dish stand out is the lack of proportion. There is a clear imbalance that does not make it enjoyable. Other variables are the quality of the ingredients and taste.

At the table, there were also two sauces to spread on the food. One was spicy; I ate some of it with the ceviche. I liked their presentation, and as they looked good in the restaurant, I photographed them. A small detail that attracted a lot of attention.

The main course we ordered was a “Mostrico”. This Peruvian dish is composed of fried rice, chicken thighs, and french fries. The “Mostrico” was served unattractively. According to my brother and uncle, the dish in Peru is prepared with a cut of chicken breast and a thigh; however, the one we were served only had a chicken thigh. The biggest peculiarity is that it was open as if it were boneless.

The rice in this “Mostrico” according to what we ordered, was Chaufa rice. The truth is that it was not tasty. Each plate cost 8 USD, or HBD. A very high price, in my opinion.

The service at the restaurant was not perfect; according to what my uncle told me, the food had deteriorated a lot. In addition, the prices were excessive for the poor quality of service and conditions of the space.

The concept of the restaurant is very attractive, but unfortunately the quality of the food was not good, and to that I add a precarious attention. I went to this restaurant in June of this year, 2024. It took me a while to write about the experience I had there. The total bill was almost 30 USD, or HBD, which I paid in Venezuelan legal tender. An anecdote, it is one of the places I do not recommend visiting, but maybe your experience is different from mine.
