Kayao

Food + DrinkOld Town · Peruvian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1252 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60610
Photo: Kayao via Google

An Old Town Peruvian restaurant built around the Nikkei and Chifa crossovers — Japanese- and Chinese-influenced Peruvian cooking, not a straight traditional menu — with ceviches doing a lot of the early work on the menu.

Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday; there's also a weekday happy hour and a weekend 'golden hour' per the restaurant's own social posts.
