I'll add my voice to the others posting here and say this is a wonderful restaurant!

I had a mimosa, salmon with quinoa and flan for dessert and it was perfection!

Trendy decor and buzzing happy atmosphere with an attentive waitstaff ensured a wonderful evening with friends.

MODERN PERUVIAN RESTAURANT WITH GREAT FOOD & OUTSTANDING SERVICE!
Stopped by this joint by accident on my way back from the beach. Had no reservations, looking for a table for five and a kind server was very helpful to find us a table rather soon. Our food was delicious, a bit of a wait but it had fresh ingredients and were properly seasoned. They all had decent portions and plenty of flavors. Lomo saltado was right on point, crunchy potatoes, sizzling onions and tender steak. The jalea with cebiche was one of the best ones I ever had in NY! No joke! I wished I didn’t share it with my kids!!! Anticuchos, although a bit small, were BIG on taste! Seared on the outside, juicy on the inside.
Pisco sour was as good as our dishes. Yes, this restaurant is a little bit on the pricey side, but trust me, it’s worthy.
Gotta add the ambiance is great, no loud music, (loved the jazz music!) beautiful decor, clean bathrooms, very inviting to dine with family and children.
This might be one the BEST restaurants in Queens by far.
A big thanks to our waiter, Edgar, for a pleasant evening. You were very polite and attentive during our stay.
We’ll definitely be back!

If more stars were available for Kantu I would give them all to this restaurant. Food was on point, fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Service was excellent! Waiter catered to our every need. We were a party of six ppl. The restaurant is open, modern and has just enough beautiful Peruvian art for everyone to appreciate. Huge clean bathrooms too. How can this place be better than that? It boasts a large selection of cocktails and drinks that you will want to come back to over and over again.

I have been coming to the this place for sometime now. I originally was coming a lot when they were new and were promoting their social media heavily. The food and the quality was great. However, I took a break from coming here after six months and it is sad to say my favorite place of jalea and ceviche has dramatically changed in quality as the ceviche did not have a citrus favor but it was a bad sour as if it was going bad. The jalea delivery wasn’t there anymore and amount is significantly less from what it was back in January in 2023.

Second time trying Peruvian food, it wasn't as impressive as my very first one, which was a few years back at another restaurant but this time was good enough. Went on a Sunday night, the restaurant reached its full capacity, but the service was still good, waitress was patient and kind to give us recommendations, the food was good. Would recommend.

Enjoyed the food, the flavors were great and good portion size. Prices are on the high side. Service is a bit slow but workers are friendly. It is loud in there and tables are very close together. I would go back to try other menu items tho.
Oh, bring cash because there is a surcharge for using credit card which is rediculous.

Absolutely loved visiting Kantu. The service was prompt and the staff were lovely. We dined on a Friday night that had live music, which added to the great atmosphere. Food was delicious and our cocktails were tasty and potent! Highly recommend for date night, pre/post movie dining, or catching up with friends.

Had a great lunch on Sunday. Chicken was great. Ceviche was fresh and delicious. The pisco sour was tart and tasty. Service was ultra sweet and friendly. They had live music as well and the vibe was excellent.
