We can't complain with what we received salmon sushi was great, the wonton soup was a bit bland but okay and the noodles were good. Excellent value

When ordering your entrée, they ask you what kind of starch, pasta (lo mein) or rice. Unless you specify they will serve your starch before your entrée. And if you ask them to serve the lo mein with your entrée, they serve it separately on another plate just like the rice. They typically have a salad they serve as well for your appetizer and sometimes comes with jelly fish. I had the dumpling soup, then I had for my entrée Kung Po chicken, I specified to have my rice served with my entrée. Both were very similar to what you would find in an American Chinese restaurant, nothing particularly special. For dessert Asian restaurants in Italy seem to love serving ice-cream that has been rolled in flower and dough and deep fried into a big ball. This was a big hit with my Italian and german friends. I had a slice of cheese cake. Service is friendly and efficient. The view from this restaurant is wonderful as it is located on the avenue across from the harbor and the restaurant has very large windows all around.
