At this restaurant however, they really do go the mile: while on the one hand the decor is elegant and suitable for Western diners, the food is really authentic. The shiu mai I had was delectable, where I tasted the pork, and all the different spices; and the ma po to fu arrived in a huge boat, tofu and pork mince floating on a rich bed of chilli oil, topped with scallions -- it is as good as any I have had in the best restaurants worldwide. The rice was plentiful, and the quantities were so huge that I had to have half my meal packed in a doggy bag. The meal was great value, with the main dish and shiu mai coming to no more than 15 E. However the spoiler -- as everywhere else in Leipzig -- is that drinking water doesn't come free, and I paid as much for a bottle of mineral water (5 E or so) as I did for the starter! But this is not unique to this restaurant, it's of course a Leipzig disease...Anyway the restaurant is excellent, especially given its location in a city that doesn't boast many authentic restaurants, and I will be back!

Unfortunately, but also again overwhelmed waiters, both our delivery of drinks and the bill we had to get ourselves at the counter. That's why only 4 stars. Guys! Does it improve?

For example, some dishes seem to be drowned in oil that the expensive wolf bass is served in sweet and sour sauce (a.k.a. ketchup), etc. For this, the service is dedicated, friendly and courteous and the toilets are impeccable.
