The owners make you feel at home…
The food is truly excellent and high-quality; the rice is well-cooked and doesn't feel heavy. We also tried the seafood udon, which was very good. We ordered with the AYCE plan, which includes all the dishes on the menu with no limits (not even on tartare and sashimi). The price is €16.90 for lunch and €23 for dinner, but many dishes are not included at lunch. I personally recommend going for dinner. The staff is extremely kind, friendly, and always available, which makes the atmosphere even more pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay, and I will definitely be back.
The place is a bit small, but otherwise okay. The real problem with this place is the limited selection on the lunch menu. For example, mango and strawberry sushi, which many restaurants also offer for lunch, isn't available here. Improve the menus, and we'll be back as customers.
Between Cosenza and Rende, when I choose an Asian restaurant, I always come here. I know I'll eat well and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is truly friendly. The dishes are good, well-presented, and tasty. I'm giving it four out of five stars because, while the experience was very positive, I think there's still room for improvement. The fried food could be improved, and it would be nice to be able to choose sashimi or tartare from the all-you-can-eat lunch menu. The fried bread with condensed milk could also be a little more refined. Otherwise, everything is excellent, and it remains my favorite Asian restaurant in the area.
My favorite Chinese restaurant. The sushi is also good, but the Chinese here is out of this world. The atmosphere is welcoming because the people who work there are welcoming; kind, helpful, and super friendly, they write dedications and funny messages on the plates with the sauce. Excellent prices.
