Wa Lok

Wa Lok Review

Of the dozens of chifas in Chinatown, none comes close to Wa Lok. Attention to the smallest detail makes every meal memorable; kun pou kay tien—chicken stir-fried with asparagus and yellow peppers—arrives garnished with an impossibly elaborate hibiscus flower carved from a carrot. Vegetarians can choose from more than 30 dishes made without meat. No matter what you order, do as the locals do and enjoy it with a glass of chartreuse-color Inca Cola. If the dining room is full, don't fret; there's another branch in Miraflores.
