Coming from CA where there are plenty of Chinese restaurants I would say that my bar is relatively…read morehigh. Food- salty and oily for me. MSG is plenty and very apparent. Selection is good but mostly fried or stir fried. Veggie menu is limited. Service is slow because the entire restaurant only has one server, one cook, and one prep. If you don't have reservation you will be turned down. I had diarrhea after eating here. Caters mostly to tourists so ambiance is good. However this does not make up for the quality of food which leaves much to be desired.

The food was awful. Both dishes were overly spicy and salty. It's the worst Chinese food I ever…read morehad.

Service is unfriendly. Waiter got mad when we asked for utensils instead of using the chopsticks,…read morehe slammed them on the table and gave us a look. Then the owner or head waiter removed my sister's paper napkin before our food was served, thinking it was 1extra napkin. Really?! How cheap can they be? The serving portions were small, the spare ribs barely had any meat on the bone! The restaurant had poor lighting. Avoid this place at all cost.

I do like this place but not really if I have to pay and I need to save money…read more.. By the way it's one of the few Chinese in the neighbourhood with a terrace outside which is a plus during summer. A glass of housewine: 4,5€. A portion of kroepoek you usually get for free but here you pay 3€ (you'll get sweet & sour sauce as extra) Tofu with vegetables, 14,80€, delicious but I didn't have rice on the side or anything so it's not cheap. My girlfriend asked baked noodles as a side dish and paid 5,50€ for it. 9,80€ for a nasi goreng with chicken, is ok I would say. Then we asked for tea for three, got one pot of jasmin tea and paid 7,50€ for it (no cookies on the side), that I think is quite a lot again. The service is efficient, quick, the food is very good so it's a good place but do expect to pay more than in Chinatown.

Such a delicious Chinese food and excellent service! We…read morehave ordered chicken with cashew, beef with black pepper and fried rice. Everything was super yummy!!! This place seems to be popular as it was crowded on Wednesday evening. And I understand why... Really tasty food! The interior is pretty simple but clean and cozy. Our waiter was very attentive and fast. He tried to make every customer smile and enjoy the meal...
