Yesterday evening, we have ordered for 4 persons: Cesar rolls, chicken with black mushrooms, with curry, beef with noodles, shrimps with carrots and with 4 portions of rice canton art. The food was a bit fat, but the taste was OK, and the quantity was generous. The delivery was on time, and as gift we got beers and toasts.
Was here in August with friends and family. Food was brillant, I dare say 5 pluds, service to die for. All staff paid attention to detail. Perhaps this was because my friend made the reservation, is a premium customer that orders regularly and the restaurant makes deliveries even though that was not their custom.... get my drift?Fast forward to October, I made the reservation as it was my birthday. Service was good but no way what we experienced in August. Food, just okish. Given this, I am inclined to agree with other reviewers that the food is overpriced.There has been no change in management. Given this, will definitely not be returning.Consistency is EVERYTHING!
We went to this place on 5th June 2015 while visiting Basel. Since it was the closest Chinese restaurant near Hotel ibis Basel Bahnhof (where we were staying), we liked its location. The restaurant had hardly any guest (except the lone female guest who was sitting and sipping wine in the corner), so we were a little apprehensive about our eat out.What we liked the most about this restaurant is the personal attention given by the Chinese owner Mr Wang and also his half Swiss son. They really tried to make us feel comfortable and explained us many things. In fact the most useful advice (which we followed) 'to visit mount Titlis ', was given by owner 's son. We are still very thankful for their suggestions and friendly conversation. Food was quite nice, fresh and delicious. We ordered two servings of Chinese dumplings, some vegetable fried rice, clear chicken soup, and two bottles of Swiss beer. The only drawback was the small portion size and the price we payed in the end. We had to shell out 100 euros for this dinner, which was kind of a shocker to us. But the owner sympathized there also with us, and said that 'everything is very expensive in Switzerland and he also has to pay a lot to his chef for his salary '.We would love to go there again but the steep price would definitely prohibit us.
I eat lunch here several times a month. They have a good lunch menu of soup, salad and main for 20chf. I think the quality of food and service are great, real linens on the table and proper attention to the guests. You can be in and out in an about an hour at lunch time.I tried to eat there for dinner since I had such a good lunch experience but I found the prices to double but nothing else doubling. Overall I would stick to lunch time dining.

Bis auf den jungen arroganten kellner haben wir nichts zu meckern. Das essen war sehr gut, ist zwar etwas teurer aber qualität schmeckt man hier. Der besitzer ist sehr freundlich sowie seine angestellten. Der sohn allerdings ist arrogant, unfreundlich, unprofessionell und hat von gastgeberei nichts gehört, da hilft auch der anzug nichts - am telefon redet er einem dazwischen, erklärt menüs furchtbar schlecht, geht nicht auf einem ein und beim bezahlen musste er sich ebenfalls zu wort melden! Wir waren zu sechst, wollten ausrechnen wer was zahlt und er steht einfach neben dran, wartet eine minute und schlägt vor wir sollen "es einfach teilen". Eigentlich geht dem gastgeber 1. gar nichts an wie wirs machen und 2. stehen kellner nicht nebenanstehen währendem gäste sich organisieren. Schliesslich sind wir hier nicht beim billigen chinesen. Tja, sein trinkgeld in meiner tasche, schade nur für das team. Ganz ehrlich, wäre der besitzer nicht so freundlich und das essen nicht so gut, würden wir hier nicht nochmals hin.
Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und an den Tisch begleitet. Grosse Auswahl an Speisen. Qualität der Speisen war gut. Sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Das Preis- und Leistungsverhältnis ist stimmig. Wir kommen wieder.
Ci sono tantissime specialità,personalmente preferisco pietanze piccanti,i Cinesi sono specialisti per i diversi tipi di menù
