Takeout
A tiny, no-frills Chinese-Peruvian spot delivering tasty, fast, low-cost plates with generous portions; expect limited seating, simple service, and occasional policy or accuracy hiccups.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Le Fontanelle earns its grade through reliable food quality and notably quick, attentive service that consistently deliver value to a loyal neighborhood following. Tight seating and minimal ambiance prevent a higher grade, but the combination of tasty Chinese-Peruvian staples, generous portions, and budget-friendly pricing makes it a solid choice for casual dining when proximity works in its favor.
Restaurant Summary
The room is tiny and unfussy, with a steady flow of students and locals grabbing plates to go or squeezing into a few tables. Service is quick and kind, and prices are the draw. As one diner put it, the food is "great for the cost," and the vibe stays simple and friendly. Cooking leans Chinese with a splash of Latin American comfort, more homestyle than showy. Expect crispy grilled dumplings, sweet and sour favorites, fried rice in chifa style, and the odd Peruvian soup. It suits anyone chasing fast, tasty plates over decor, and value wins out over theatrics. Families are fine here if you time it right. Kids can handle fried rice and dumplings, though space is tight and there is no sign of a kids menu. If your crew needs elbow room or lots of options, consider takeaway.
