Norkys Peruvian Restaurant

We visited Norky’s Peruvian Restaurant for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. The space was welcoming and spacious. The waitress (did not catch her name) was cheerful and well informed about the menu offering options. We all had different dishes and everyone agreed they were all 5-star dishes. Starting with the causitas which were crab & chicken-yum! Really creamy and delicious. The Bistek A Lo Pobre (Poor Man’s Steak) had nothing pobre (poor). It was huge and simply to die for-so juicy and tender; rolled up into a wheel with a toothpick-BRILLIANT and decorated with edible flowers. The Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos, as shown in the image with the lobster and chopsticks was excellent and finally…tarararan…THE PESCADO A LO MACHO was served on an enormous tray and all you can see was seafood in a tasty sauce. The white rice was on the side, also very good portion. If you love seafood, (or not) Norky’s is the place for you. I know I’m planning on returning next week.

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance at Norky’s was absolutely amazing. The dim lighting and elegant decor made it feel like the perfect spot for a romantic date or even a casual dinner outing. Right away, they served a complimentary cancha—toasted corn kernels—with two different sauces. Both sauces were incredible and set the tone for a fantastic meal. The food came out quickly, and I started with the Causa Poseidon. Let me just say, it was phenomenal! Imagine layers of potato salad and tuna salad topped with crunchy seafood and crowned with an octopus leg—it was a flavor explosion. The sauces drizzled on top elevated the dish to the next level. Next, I ordered a whole chicken with a side salad and French fries. Every bite was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I’d happily order it again! What really stood out, though, was the service. Evelyn and Amnuer went above and beyond to make the experience special. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience. We never had to ask for anything—they were on top of it, clearing plates, checking on us, and even asking for feedback. Their recommendation of the Causa Poseidon was spot on! This restaurant is a hidden gem. If you don’t know, now you know—get to Norky’s as soon as you can! Highly recommended!

A great discovery in NJ Amazing g Peruvian food Beautiful presentation - Delicious and Service A+ Highly recommended

My family is a big fan of Norkys. It’s one of those places that everyone can actually enjoy. I’m always fascinated with the presentation of the dishes and the care and quality of the meals. The service is also great. Our favorites are the anticuchos and the pollo ala brasa. Recently they started charging a service charge for dine in but I guess that’s the same as the tip.

My go to dishes are Combo Norkys that comes with a whole chicken, salad and fries. I also love the choritos that are muscles prepared and topped with a finely chopped tomato salad with red onions, cilantro, and corn and seaweed in lemon juice! 🤤 My absolute favorite. Last time, I switched and tried the causa de lomo appetizer that consists of layers of mashed potatoes (that melts in your mouth!) and beef tenderloin. There's so much flavor in this appetizer you will not be dissatisfied. I also had the lomo saltado de carne which was so tasty! I can't wait to go back.
