Moia is a "must" try restaurant if you like Peruvian food, seafood, or are ready to try something new and extremely delicious. They offer a huge variety of Peruvian food and ceviches, with the Leche de Tigre being my absolute favorite, but if you are new to ceviche, do yourself a favor to try La Triologia (3 different flavors with your choice of seafood). They also offer other traditional succulent dishes such as Lomo Saltado, Tallarin, Jalea, and Arron Chaufa. Every single option here is worth trying. Ps. Do not get discouraged by the location; the service, the food and atmosphere inside will not disappoint.
Restaurant isn't in the best part of town, but once you walk in you won't even know where you are! Beautiful decor inside, big location, a lot of seating. Vanessa was our server and she was amazing, on top of our big party of 13 people, quick and took amazing care of us! Now, the food! Wow! The flavors, portions and quality of fish in the ceviches, rices & other dishes was just amazing! Probably the best Peruvian spot in town!
Absolutely 5/5 experience! - delicious food and big variety of options as well - flavors are excellent, fish is fresh - service was amazing, they made us feel extremely welcome and it felt very homey - ambiance was electric, the inside felt like a mixture between a lively bar vibe and night time club vibe - lots of parking, in an open parking area - will definitely be back
I'm not gonna lie, I've never had Peruvian food before, and some of the pictures looked really unfamiliar to me (obviously). So I was worried about the food and flavor, and also I'm a vegetarian and the menu seems to not include us very much, BUT they made accommodations for me and made me a veggie fried rice! And the drinks were really cute! We took my mother in law here for her birthday, and the restaurant is so cute on the inside! It's very vibey. The servers were very good at their job, too, very nice guys! Their names were Augustine and Fernando (I believe that's his name. He was a younger guy)
FOOD- Flavors hit the spot. Priced accordingly. Didn't skimp on portions CEVICHE MIXTO (5/5) - Classic, Can't go wrong. Freshly made. Seasoned. Well prepared ARROZ CON MARISCOS (5/5) - Good flavor. Didn't expect that rich cheesy sauce. But went well with the rice. Kinda reminded me of a cheesy pan roast sauce. Nice portions- family style, for one lol. Took most of it home. SERVICE- Promptly seated. Attended to the whole time. Waters never passed 1/2 empty. Server explained my questions well. Buster/runner was very proactive. Cleared dishes away, reset plates and silverware. Was always on top of my beverage. Friendly, welcoming FOH staff. Wish every restaurant I dined was at least at this par AMBIANCE- Old school, open tables next to each other. Lighting was nice for dinner. If the FOH where to upgrade the design and make tables more intimate without losing seats. Would be great! Kept on looking over my shoulder and sides since I can see everyone. Overall- would come back for sure and bring some friends and family. This restaurants pretty far from where I live, but worth a solid drive if was around Chinatown, downtown..
Moia Peruvian Restaurant is very nice Peruvian Restaurant located on the Historic West Side not so far from the Strip. It's beautiful inside. Pretty glowing colors and interesting light fixtures. They offer a menu that is seafood heavy but offer enough dishes to please almost any appetite. Beer, wine, and the Passionfruit Whiskey Sour are offered. This restaurant was nominated for Rising Star by the Nevada Restaurant Association. We started off by sharing the Ceviche Pescado. They also served us a creamy spicy orange salsa and a milder creamy green salsa with it. I have to say it was a really GREAT ceviche that was just full of flavors and textures. I really enjoyed it. For my main I had the Pescado Plancha. It was also a large generous plate of food that was all good. I felt like embellishing it with the salsas and then it became more exciting. The only thing that wasn't for my taste was the Peruvian Beans. Not sure why? The Lomo Saltado Pobre (NY Steak & Eggs) had a lot more going on with it and also was tender and infused with good flavors. The portion sizes were large and generous for the ceviche and the mains. I was too full to save room for dessert and also took some of the food home. Prices here are extra reasonable. My dinner was only $17. (subject to change). Service was top notch! We do plan to come back and try other things. Parking was close and easy. 4.5 Stars

I never had Peruvian food or least one that felt was truly authentic. My coworkers we talk about checking out new food spots all the time. He recommended should check out Moia Peruvian Restaurant. My cousin was visiting and we do foodie cuz tour tradition each time. Perfect! It not exactly in the most ideal part of town. Thing nice is restaurant is hell of lighted on the outside. It stands out small shopping plaza not miss it. The moment walk in truly blown away with the interior design. It has upscale vibe. Neon sign. The artwork looks like lamb cool walk in the door. I like the vibes. The menu is pretty huge. Only cousin and me. So it was tough to choose just few. We both enjoy food and same goal trying as much of menu each time. We had server like that LOT of food. It made best leftovers for me to take home. lol. We ordered chicken noodle soup, Yukon fries, chicken fried rice, octopus, beef dish, and grilled chicken plate. Two salsa on side. Traditional pickles red onion forget the name. Cousin more familiar had it before like it must if have Peruvian food. Everything was amazing! Every dish one would pride again. Service not doubt five stars. She was on top of it from the go. Attentive, friendly, and made first time best time!! Be back!
Came here for lunch with a bunch of friends to try our Peruvian food in town. Upon arrival, it looks like a dingy un-named little building but once you go inside, its actually REALLY nice. Dim lightning with some rave-y, club-y music but at least not too loud which allowed normal conversationing without shouting at each other. Our waiter (Agustin? sorry if i got the name wrong, i just referred to the receipt) was SUPER helpful and nice throughout the entire meal. PISCO SOUR SABORES - A traditional cocktail to both Peruvian and Chilean cuisines, this was a DELICIOUS drink recommended by the waiter. Has a nice sour and sweetness which wasn't too overpowering in any way. Only complaint was it was too small... hehe ANTICUCHO (Grilled beef heart pieces served with grilled potatoes, chimichurri) A small appetizer of 3 skewers of grilled beef heart that was marinated amazingly and sliced thin. Had texture aspects that reminded me of beef tongue. The accompanied grilled potatoes and peruvian corn was delicious as well. LECHO DE TIGRE (Cocktail of raw fish, octopus, calamari, shrimp, peruvian corn, onions, accompanied by fried calamari and fried shrimp) Big portion in a glass chalice like cup topped with 3 fried shrimp and fried pine nuts? accompanied by also peruvian corn, 3 calamari rings, and yucca? Fresh and delicious cocktail. the shrimp and calamari was also very nice and tender. My friend said it was missing an "umami" aspect that she had gotten when trying peruvian foods in Miami. Curious to see what she meant in the future SUPER LOMO (Super sized Lomo Saltado on hot grill) A classic Peruvian style beef stir fry with tender strips of steak, onions, tomatoes, on a LARGE bed of french fries. Very delicious. There were 2 sauces (green and red) that came with this. Red was more spicy, green was more creamy. I used both at the same time. Definitely a good size for our party of 6. CHAUFA POLLO (Chopped breast chicken mixed with rice, soy sauce, green onions, and egg) A BIG plate of chicken fried rice. Egg was cut in fairly large cubes, which confused us a bit, making us feel like it was tofu LOL. Huge portion. Seasoned well. There was an auto gratuity of 18%. Unsure when this gets implemented but we had a party of 6. Quite the well deserved gratuity as the waiter was very nice and helpful and checked up on us quite frequently. He has been very attentive since the second some of us walked in until all of us had left. Definitely quite the good experience. had already looked forward to returning here for our future peruvian meals !
Recently came here for dinner with some friends and it was a great experience for us. We got ceviche sampler, shrimp ceviche, grilled octopus, and pollo saltado. Everything was very tasty. I think the highlights was the ceviche sampler & grilled octopus. we sure want to get those again. We loved the decor inside, very romantic and music was not so loud. We saw they have a back room with lights, we didn't get to look at it but looks nice from where we are sitting. Definitely would check that out again. Service was decent. Our server actually forgot one of our dishes but they were able to resolve it right away. For Saturday dinner they were busy. I can see why and definitely would come back and check on their other dishes
