Chez Wong
Lima, Peru
The read// why locals go
Javier Wong cooks lunch for twenty people at a time, at a single wok, in a plain room in Lima's Lince district. Chez Wong has no menu in the usual sense — Wong decides, cooks and serves a set lunch built on chifa, the Peruvian-Chinese tradition Lima has spent generations refining. The sole with yellow chilli is the dish the city's food professionals talk about in reverent terms. There are vegetarian options, a set price around 80 soles, and no dinner service. Everything about the operation is small, personal and unrepeatable, which is why it has outlasted every restaurant that tried to formalise it.
