Much of the meat tasted old freezer-burned (possibly past its best), and two of us ended up with stomach cramps and diarrhea that night. Correlation isn’t proof, but it’s not a risk I’ll take again. Food: please don’t call this a Chinese restaurant—that would be unfair to actual Chinese cuisine (and would make my ancestors weep). In short: suspicious-tasting frozen meat, tiny portions, premium prices. We were four, ordered different mains; all meats smelled tasted off. The 孜然羊肉 (cumin lamb) was the least bad—cumin hides many sins, and it seemed like thin hot-pot lamb rolls. Two of us had stomach issues later. Portions are small. For reference, I’m 1.66 m 53 kg and still left hungry (not helped by discreetly spitting some out because of the taste). Overpriced: dishes I cook at home for €5 in ingredients sold here for €14; rice is another €2 for a thimble-sized bowl. Service: fine and polite. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €10–20

Same problem for the dish size once is too much the second time is too little. Waiting time is a bit long compared with other Asian restaurants in the city. Only a waiter girl in the rest so she is too busy to give us a good service in some cases.
