Great friendly service, excellent food and good value. We had special recipe chicken rice and beans, big portion size would highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere here in the Hell's Kitchen area of NYC, with upstairs and downstairs dining areas, and so convenient to Broadway. We stopped in for lunch after Phantom of the Opera. Four of us sha…

So so good. Quaint little spot in HK, nice waitstaff and the food was amazing! The calamari was a bit rubbery but still good, calamari is like that sometimes anywhere you go.

Food was delicious and service was great! Would love to go again! Had a lot of good authentic Peruvian food that was good portions too (even homemade hot sauce)!

I love Peruvian good and this restaurant did NOT disappoint! I’ll come back again and again!! I had the Camarones with Amarillo sauce and my date had Lomi Saltado. Both were fantastic!

We love peruvian food and this did not disappoint! We got the Matador to share & just made a dent. It was enough for four people.

Hearty portions and a large and nice restaurant makes for a really solid dining experience in the area. The two of us shared the chicken empanadas, half a rotisserie chicken and the arroz chaufa with shrimp. By the way, let me get out of the way that the green sauce is so delectable that I could have eaten it by the spoonful. The empanadas were ok. I've had much better in NYC and I would probably pass on these next time. The chicken was DELICIOUS. They are rightly known for this and I think it's a must get. The arroz chaufa was solid - flavorful and plentiful. It came in what felt like a bucket and is clearly a sharing portion. We also had chicha moradas. I love chicha morada and have had it in several restaurants in NYC. This version is a little watered down, but still good. Service was fine - efficient, but not very friendly. Nothing negative, just not anything special.

It appears small from out side, but it extend to a decent sized dining area downstairs. Excellent food. They have traditional dishes with a slight twist. Very delicious food. Service is also very good.

Really hyped, and with a lot of reviews, the expectations were high. What was good? When for starters the chicken was indeed quite good. But in the context of other Peruvian chicken I’ve had in the past, it was not extraordinary. Yes the skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. The arroz chaufa hit all the savory notes that I was looking for too. The sangria didn’t disappoint either. What was bad? Overall, not too much other than the sporadic and slightly chaotic service. Not necessarily any marks against Pio Pio for this, I think it was just a busy night. The main issue I had was the frozen chicken used in the arroz chaufa. In a restaurant that is known for its chicken, you wouldn’t think they would cheap out on it at any point. But, this was simply not the case. It was dry, chewy, and clearly not as fresh as their rotisserie chicken. It didn’t scare me off entirely from going back, but I was disappointed to say the least. Most people have extremely low bars for chicken as a meat they would spend money on at a restaurant. Don’t give people a reason to complain I just don’t get it. Looking back on it, I would have said something or sent the dish back, not because I’m an asshole, but because I know they can do better.

Great place to spend some time over a meal with friends. I only wish the menu wasn’t so safe; Peru has more interesting food than this! Staff was super kind with an excited child, very helpful and nice. I’ll be back, though if they had Cuy, I’d be back faster!

With numerous other locations and named of sound chicks make, this chain serves rotisserie chicken and other Peruvian dishes. The meal was very carb heavy, and a bit muted flavors other than desserts. Was not a big fan of the sausage and fries, the chicken was a bit dry but tasty. This location is beautifully decorated and architecturally designed with the double height dining room, though our large party remained on the ground floor near the entrance.

We went there on a weekday night, and we didn’t need to make a reservation or wait in line. The atmosphere was pleasant. The portions of the food were huge and tasty; we loved it. However, the main dish was a little over-seasoned. We ordered the fish with fried rice and half a chicken

The food at PioPio was truly delicious and lived up to its reputation, but unfortunately the service fell far short and overshadowed the experience. Our waiter was noticeably impatient with our t…

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was interesting and not what I was expecting. Very austere-style of decor.\n\nThe prices were quite high...but it was Manhattan after all.

This place is ginormousssss. Tons of seating and relatively empty when I went at 6pm on a Tuesday. Good and pretty fast service.\n\nMy favorite dish was probably the calamari with the green sauce. …

This place stands out from competitors. The workers always have a positive attitude. Their prices beat other restaurants consistently. The flavors are memorable. I'll certainly return to this spot.

whenever we came back to ny we cannot miss : ceviche and or chicken. and it is always excellent with good service, and often eating at the bar . will be back

My piece of chicken in the lunch combo was super small, so it was kind of disappointing, but the chicken had great flavor. The air conditioning wasn’t working, so it was very stuffy and uncomfortable inside the restaurant, and there was nothing they could do about it.

I guess I'm a little shocked by their overall rating. The aesthetics of this location are amazing really nine days spot . They are known for their chicken so I got a half chicken and tostones. Th…

I just spent almost 40$ in a ceviche and a soup. They can be everything but not a ceviche either a soup. I will never order from this place again.

I went on a date here with someone from Peru. We both ordered the arroz chaufa. The chicken and rice were extremely dry and bland. We both agreed we could’ve had better tasting food at Panda Express for half the money. However, I will admit the drinks they offer are fantastic. We won’t be back.

Hands down the toughest review I’ve had to write. Pio Pio has been my go-to for years, but during a recent order I found a bug in my rice. After calling and explaining the situation to the staff, they refused to provide a refund, and I was offered replacement food. After spending over 15 minutes on the phone discussing the issue, this response was disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to decide not to return.
