China Town中华街 — Attraction in Nairobi

The place is more or less like a Chinese food court with several small restaurants specializing in different Chinese dishes. It also has a Chinese Clinic, a hotel for accommodation and 2 Chinese supermarkets and alcohol store. Dominated by Chinese folk that patronize the place.

THE GOOD Authentic Chinese food cooked by Chinese; large variety of Chinese foods; friendly Kenyan servers/stewards; supermarkets stocked with a variety of Chinese spices, noodles, drinks, different types of rice and grains, etc; freshly made noodles and dumplings at Silk Noodles restaurant; nice food sauces; friendly staff in general; meals are price friendly.

THE BAD Chinese smoking everywhere including inside and outside restaurants just like they do in China; only accept payments in cash or mobile cash/MPESA; cleanliness of sinks and general area not of very high standard; supermarkets don't display prices of items on shelves; parking very squeezed and not enough; restaurant tables can look a bit unpleasant with the Chinese habits of dropping bones and other food leftovers all over the table when eating.

Overall it's probably the best place in Nairobi to experience a variety of authentic Chinese cuisine as you would find it with street...

Parking is also squeezed. The entire place was too busy including the supermarket before 9am. It was a...

I was at China town Kilimani and we went to Chongqing restaurant (right next to the Casino). China town itself has many many restaurants and supermarkets so you better know which stall you're going to beforehand. You can get decision fatigue because of the overwhelming choices. Chongqing has a limited menu, displayed on the wall and the sitting space is also small. I had pork rib noodles and my friends had beef noodles. The portions are huge and the soup is very tasty. They also give chili oil which you can use to spice up your bowl. We also had beef dumplings...
