We live two blocks away from this restaurant. Generally we order takeout but I have also had lunch there too. I would highly recommend the restaurant. The family who run it are very polite and it is nice to see them succeed.
It took over a minute of chewing (my husband quit and politely spit it out) before I could swallow my first bite of oyster beef. The fried springroll was sitting for awhile before serving and the won ton soup was flavorless. In the USA this establishment would be out of business within six months. Service slow for only two patrons.
The restaurant makes no attempt to be trendy, chic or worldly. Functional and utilitarian, it looks more like what a group of friends would set up in the basement to see a ball game. The drawing point is honest, clean Chinese food in absurdly abundant quantities. I can't say if it's authentic or not (I doubt it), since I've never been to China. It is very tasty, there are lots of dishes to choose from. I've tried many and liked them all. The price is ridiculously cheap for this neighborhood: you can have lunch for 8 euros per person. The red wine they serve with the meal is quite drinkable, which is also a strong point in a neighborhood where most lunch places serve hideously bad table wines. We at the office up the street go about twice a month and always enjoy our meal.
