Good and decent Peruvian spot in DTLA. Going in, the staff took care of me and were pretty friendly. I took my number and chose a seat and they would bring my food to me.I got the Lomo saltado and it was pretty good and flavorful. The steak wasn't tough which I appreciated. I wasn't the biggest fan of the large amount of onions in the dish. I was surprised that the fluffy rice was seasoned and garlicky which I liked. The potatoes soaked up the flavor, but I wish they were crispier. Maybe double frying them would make them better. I smothered everything in the green sauce which elevated the dish and provided a nice kick to everything.I also liked the complementary chicken rice soup that I got which was flavorful and had rice and veggies in it.Everything was solid other than the price. The Lomo saltado was a decent portion, but $18 for the size was too much. The can of inka cola that I got was also overpriced, at $4.50 a can. I also did not like how the prices for many of the dishes weren't displayed on the menus.

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! 8/10I 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. 7.5/10I will definitely be coming back! I want to try other items on the menu as well.

I love Peruvian food and have ordered from this eatablishment before. I ordered a Marisco Saltado, based on the photograph shown on Grub Hub, where it appears that the seafood ratio looked good. When the order finally arrived I the realized while eating my meal that there were only 2 pieces of fish, a handful of calamari and a whole lot of onions and fries. The ratio of fish to fries and onion was not balanced like the Grub Hub image. My last 5 bites or so, were mostly red onion and some fries, all the rice and seafood was already eaten many bites before this (if that makes any sense).I think that for the price that I paid, the ratio of seafood should be more sunstantial. It definitey was not worrh what I paid, although it fid taste good, but I shouldn't have my meal sadly end with big chunks of onions. I swear they used at least half an onion to make the food look more full, and to disguise the lack of seafood.

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.

Not bad, not the best Peruvian I've had. Lomo Saltado had nice flavor but was a tad light on the sauce (which I like to mix with the rice). Rice had good fglavor as well. Balance in the Lomo Saltado was a little out of proportion as well, meaning, not too many fries in the mix. Wouldn't liked the tomato's chopped up a bit instead of whole slices. The Aji sauce (which I essentially spread over everything) had a slightly chunky texture and was also slightly bland. The cilantro chicken soup was really nice. Might be back, might not.

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!

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.

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!

I wish I could give Inca Wasi at least 4 stars as I rejoice as a Peruvian about Peruvian food. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. For starters their menus don't have prices, they just tell you that the dishes are between $10-$25. I know that inflation is high and prices lately scare people but we have the right to know prices before making a selection. Second, the dishes I got aguadito, anticuchos and chaufa we just ok. Nothing to brag about, so I assume that the other dishes might just ok. I have a feeling that their rotisserie chicken is good as that is a dish easier to replicate. Service was good and the ambiance was ok. But Sadly, I am not planning to come back.

I go here a lot when I am in downtown LA. I always get a thing that I cannot find on the menu board except on the picture. It is a beef dish with onions and rice and fry-like potatos. So I point to that one on the menu. Very nice flavor. I was really surprised at the flavor the first time I had it, so I keep coming back. Comes with a cup of Peru style chicken soup that I really like. You eat with real silverware (they give you a fork and will give you a knife if you request one). You can refill your water cup whenever you want. Location: Walkable from 7th and metro, 7th and Fig.
