The food at this restaurant is consistently outstanding and often delightfully surprising! The Lomo Saltado and the Chicken Yakitori were tender and the flavors were wonderful.

I tried every single Peruvian restaurant in Charlotte and Yunta is by far the best one. this bento box is the perfect way to try more than one dish. The ingredients are so fresh and the food tastes as good as the one you can have in Peru. For some people the price could be high but believe me, for the amount of food and the quality I think it worth every single penny.

This is my absolute favorite place to order from. Their food is always on point and the mushroom ceviche is addictive. The Pulpo Anticuchero is so good that I get cravings for it. The flavors are just amazing.

Leche de tigre ceviche with whitefish and calamari is the best I've ever had! Absolutely one of Charlotte's best restaurants. Chicha morada is delicious. Also recommend the filet skewers with aji sauce. Amazing food!!
