Our little secret spot when we are heading into town for a night out and looking for good and reasonably priced dishes. I freaking love the 100 year old eggs. Also any fried rice dishes are a huge recommendation. Location is not too far from the city centre and the service (most times) quickly

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Chinese restaurant in the city! My favorite spot when I’m craving ramen or other Asian dishes. They serve homemade ramen with generous portions, and the prices are very reasonable — not just for ramen, but for all their food. The service is great, too! If you’re a student, this place is highly recommended for enjoying a tasty meal on a budget while still dining in a nice restaurant. My favorite place and keep coming back whenever I missing this place!

Hot and sour soup was outstanding. Large portion fresh peppers, tofu, and egg with a flavorful base that was not overbearing. One of the best hot and sour soups I have ever had

You know you’re at the right place at the right time especially when you’re craving something hot and savoury, or simply hungry. The queue runs like the great wall of china if you come in around the spanish timing so if you’ve been running around do get in early. Everything on the menu seem like a good pair and portions are generous. The cold “chinese tapas” (appetisers) ofcourse come in smaller plates but if you’re unfamiliar with the cuisine tastes it could be better to try just something you’re fond of depending on the season/ weather you’re in. For colder days, you bet the hot noodles and hot sour soup drizzled with good old vinegar wont cozy you up for more spoonfuls of food and rice, its like how tapa and vino became friends cuddled up in a taberna. Prices are friendly, food is satisfying for the tummy, couldnt ask for more in resetting the asian palate.

Popular restaurant for Chinese and locals. The prices here are very cheap and they serve big portion sizes and the food most importantly is pretty good. The interior is simple and dated and look more like a Chinese canteen however the food makes up for it.

I sat outside on a small table with people rushing by. The server said I had to choose a dish quickly cause the chef was leaving soon. So I ordered the Tofu picante (spicy tofu) with rice. The flavors were so good and you felt it become more spicy. It was affordable and I had to ask for a box for the leftovers. So if you want auntentic Chinese food this restaurant is for you. They have several other dishes you can get vegan too
