I got sick and didn't have any soup at home, so I ordered the Aguadito soup. It was extremely delicious, and helped me to get well! The price was very reasonable. I got 2 soups for $15 with tax (although it's probably cheaper away from Uber Eats). The soup was very colorful and flavorful, but my only complaint is that there could have been more chicken. It felt like both bowls only had one piece of chicken each. But outside of that, it was pretty solid! I can't speak to the service and ambiance since I didn't dine in, but everything was securely packaged and still warm when it made its way home. I look forward to trying more items from this place! I only heard of it because I searched "soups" on Uber Eats. That's not even their main dish, so I'm excited to see what else they have to offer!

I love their food. I try different meals every time I come here and it's always tasty. Also, their service is excellent! Today I left my bag at the table. I run back towards the restaurant and found our server guy standing at the door with my bag in his hand. He handed it to me with his big smile.

Still friendly service and amazing food. Everything is cooked fresh and price is very reasonable for the massive portions. It's pretty healthy too. There's only one dish that has a little sugar - the pollo picante. Can't go wrong with the embosado though, ive had w both steak and chicken and i actually think the chicken is even better!

Inka Wasi is a great little spot in dtwn LA. Stopped late later in the evening as I was visiting town and needed a quick sit down place. You can order to go or order and they bring it to your table. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu on the wall does have the prices. We settled for some pollo a la brasa, lomo saltado y yuca a la huacaina. The food was good, portion was good too. If yij are in the area and want a good Peruvian bite def stop by.

This location is very close to my work and I've been meaning to try it for a while. I'm glad I did! It's a casual restaurant, you order at the register and they bring it to you at your table once the food is ready. We had a soup starter that was very very good. I can't remember what was in it, but it was green, and I'm glad we tried it! 8/10 I had the pescado ceviche, which was perfect for lunch. It was a much bigger portion than I was expecting for lunch, but it wasn't overwhelmingly large. I wish the ceviche itself had more leche de Tigre, but it was great with the green sauce they provided as well. 7.5/10 I will definitely be coming back! I want to try other items on the menu as well.

Had a sudden craving for lomo saltado and decided to checkout Inka Wasi. Restaurant is spacious and staff were friendly! + Lomo saltado 4/5: Beef was tender and juicy, veggies were soft, and garlic rice was well-seasoned. It was a very hearty and flavorful meal. The complimentary soup was surprisingly tasty as well. It was big portioned so I ate the second half the next day. I will definitely come back!

I've passed by Inka Wasi several times while walking in DTLA. There was no line during lunch time. We dined in and ordered the 1/4th pollo combo with garlic rice and salad and the camaron al ajo. I didn't get to taste the chicken was told it was a bit dry. It smelled great though, and I loved the camaron al ajo! It was super garlicky and well seasoned small shrimps. Service was quick and they were patient with us while we lingered at the register trying to decide. Ambience is casual, there were other parties dining in between 12 - 1 PM. I'm interested in trying the lomo saltado soon!

We came here after a workout and I hadn't had Peruvian food for a while so we decided to try this instead of going to Chipotle. The appetizer soup was good, it tasted like rice congee! The fried rice with minced beef tastes exactly like what my grandmother used to make. Yellow sauce plate looks great and resembles a Thai curry dish. It's definitely worth a try. Overall, it was a great find, and I'd definitely come back for more. Who knew Peru had a Japanese president? I didn't know that! Fun fact of the day.
