Nory's Restaurant

I've been going to Nory's since 1999. This place is so good. And really the quality and consistency have been constant over the past 25 years. I have had almost everything on the menu at some point in time and everything is scratch made and excellent! My favorite is the sopa criolla. But if it's your first time getting Peruvian, get Lomo or Tallarin Saltado. And if you're going at lunch (and getting a lunch special) get the sopa sustancia with your main dish!

The Pollo a la braza was delicious!! Juicy, tender and full of flavor! Nory’s never disappoints!

I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was really good I loved the arroz chaufa. By far the best peruvian restaurant. 😊

Most authentic food I ever had. Is not a fancy place but good is amazing.

My girlfriend introduced me. The atmosphere is a little on the plain side, however the food is extremely tasty and came out fast and hot. Highly recommend as there are not many Peruvian places around here that are worth it. Don’t go to inka mamas, go here.

Good taste of Puruvian chicken. The lunch special Only comes with salad, NO soup for you. Fair prices though.

Norys Peruvian food never fails! Always on point and delicious. Service is great. I feel like home, and a very relaxing ambiance. Thank you Orlando.

I like the Pollo a la brasa and Chupe de Camarones because they have lots of flavor and you get a lot for a good price. The owner is very kind and it's nice to talk with him. I've been going for a whole decade and it's my favorite Peruvian spot. 🇵🇪 Zeke A.

I had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The hospitality was equally impressive; the staff were welcoming and attentive, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

This Peruvian restaurant is a fantastic find! The owner is always welcoming, genuinely friendly and makes you feel like a regular from the first visit. The food is consistently excellent, with authentic flavors that never disappoint. The service is quick, and there's never a long wait, even during peak times. If you're looking for great Peruvian food this is the place to go, never disappoints :)

Delicious food , This place have the original Peruvian food taste. I tried another places but this one is Like home.

If you want really good fried sea food, get Jalea. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm peruvian and the food is really good. It has that home made tast that we always look for. And the service is on point. Will definitely be coming back.

I have been coming to this place for around 23 years following the taste of its delicious “Lomo Saltado” and its flavor remains. The excellent service of its owner Orlando is unmatched thanks to Nory’s Restaurant the best of Peruvian food in Orange County

My family has been coming long before i was born and now at 22 years old its my favorite spot. Every time we come from vegas, we make it a must to stop by for the Jalea, papa a la huancaina, and an extra side of fried yuca. The absolute best! Absolutely recommend stopping by, the owner is very friendly and beyond welcoming!

Nory’s restaurant in Lake Forest, California, offers the perfect experience of high quality Peruvian food!!!. I feel at home here not only because of delicious food but the friendly Peruvian home atmosphere Orlando and his crew creates as soon as you get here!!! Nory’s is the best Peruvian food experience in Southern California!!! Perfect balance between Japanese Omotenashi - hospitality - and warm friendly Peruvian heart in every bite!!!

Hidden gem place for great tasting Peruvian food. Awesome service from the owner and large portions! Very reasonable and fresh seafood choices.

Excellent service Food delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming again.

5 Stars We've been coming here for years the Rotisserie Chicken is our favorite so amazing best rotisserie chicken, french Fries, rice in South Orange County.. Orlando is the owner nicest person very friendly... Best Peruvian Restaurant around by far. 5 stars With the today's pricing being outrageous this place is very affordable for a small family $28 for a whole chicken and 2 huge sides

I’ve been coming here with my family since I was very little and the food is still just as great! We always order a jalea and their portions are very huge. In the picture we also ordered a Lomo saltado on the left and a Pescado a lo Macho on the right.

The chicken was good. Flavorful, juicy, and reasonably priced.

This joint is serving up real ingredients prepared like that Peruvian uncle I never had. I was impressed by the actual hand cut yucca vs some other joints precut yucca. That green sauce is obviously made in house and done right. The ceviche isn’t the prettiest I’ve eaten, but ranks high in the yum factor. Definitely a restaurant worth another visit.

Great flavor and service, reasonable pricing, generous servings.

overall really great. This food has really overcome any food in the world. Peruvian stays at number 1. Really recommend the Lomo Saltado with an inka cola. Ps ask for warm bread with butter. Arriba Peru csmd

If you want a meal that tastes homemade this is the place to be. Authentic Peruvian food that is super tasty. We come from Temecula and this is a real treat for us. We love their food. Definitely a place to get lunch or dinner.

The food and price was amazing! Excellent service! I will definitely be going back

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such an incredible experience at this Peruvian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I could feel how warm, welcoming, and authentic it was. The food is absolutely amazing and truly traditional — you can tell everything is made with care and passion. The highlight for me was definitely the rotisserie chicken and fries — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and bursting with flavor. It’s honestly some of the best I’ve ever had! Every dish we tried was delicious and true to authentic Peruvian cuisine. On top of the fantastic food, the owner is such a kind and gracious man. He was very attentive throughout our visit, making sure we were enjoying everything and felt at home. His hospitality really added to the whole experience. This place is a gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for amazing, traditional Peruvian food and a wonderful atmosphere, this is the place to go!

The owner is kind anc friendly. He served the food fast. The food was delicious and tender. The place was clean

My family and I have been coming here for over 15 years and the same familiar attention has not changed. The portions are generous and the taste is fantastic, especially when I have my nostalgic days of missing my Peruvian dishes in the middle of the week or the occasional weekend. Come over and experience a relaxed environment and chat with the owner in between serving tables!

I have been going to Norys for years and it never disappoints. Orlando has created such a welcoming place that it truly feels like you are eating at his home and being treated like family. The food is consistently amazing and you can taste the care put into every dish. My absolute favorites are the fried rice and the jalea which I order every time. Their lunch specials are also an incredible deal for the quality and portion you get. On top of that the service is always kind attentive and genuine. Norys is one of those rare restaurants you keep coming back to not just for the food but for the people and the feeling. I cannot recommend it enough.

My family has been coming here for the past 27+ years. We've left the state, but every time we are back in town we make sure to stop by and get our fill. We enjoy the jalea, papa à la huancaina, and an extra side of fried yuca. My husband also loves their lomo saltado. Inka cola compliments the food so well. There is maybe one spot that can compare where we currently live, but nothing ever really hits like Nory's. 1000000000/10 and I always recommend for friend and family to try this spot. The front of house is mainly ran by one man so please be patient.

This place has great comfort eats. I’ve tried their Loma Saltado (Streak Sautéed with Tomato, Onion, and French Fries), as well as their Arroz Chaufa (Steak Fried Rice). Both were very delicious and I look forward to the plates every time I’m In town :) Thank you!

I like this type of unpretensious place. I care about the food and it met my expectations

Food was delicious (: Would recommend Pollo a la brasa 🍗

We got “pollo a la brasa” it was fresh and delicious, we enjoyed our lunch time with my Mom, Peruvian immigrants living in OC.

Food was delicious ordered the Beef spaghetti salteado. Great flavor. If you like noodles and strips of beef. This is for you. Good sized portion for $20. 2 people can share it, if you’re not too hungry and want to eat this and another dish. Would be a 5 star if the beers were $7. Other than that, food comes out hot!

Divey restaurant with unfriendly service and subpar food. Not many gluten free options. We all ordered the rotisserie chicken and would NOT recommend it. It was greasy and lacked flavor.

Poor service, ok food, unclean. One and done, we'll stick with Inka Grill, much better, much cleaner

I recently visited a Peruvian restaurant, and while the service was friendly and welcoming, the food left much to be desired. The *choritos* (mussels) had no flavor at all, making the dish bland and underwhelming. The *jalea* (fried seafood) tasted as though it had been microwaved, lacking the fresh, crispy texture you'd expect. On top of that, the food didn’t feel authentic at all, and even the green sauce, which is usually a highlight, was far too liquid. While the hospitality was great, the food missed the mark.

Service was good but food was severely lacking! Ceviches was bland and terrible, as was the mixed seafood soup was bad and seafood didn’t taste fresh and neither did the Cabrito. Jalea was the best thing 😩. So disappointed cause we stopped here from SD and only choose this place based on other reviews
