Alexandria Restaurant Recommendations Vol.2 - Chinese Cuisine 🥢

For those visiting Alexandria on a day trip and craving a break from local food, check out China House—a Chinese restaurant established in 2007. Located just north of the Four Seasons Hotel, this place is run by a Chinese owner and chef (a seasoned cook with over 10 years of experience at a state-owned restaurant in China, who recently joined the team). Pro tip: Make sure you go to the branch near the Four Seasons Hotel (the Egyptian chef from before has been transferred to another branch as head chef). When you arrive, let the Egyptian manager at the door know you’d like authentic Chinese flavors—the chef can adjust the dishes for fellow Chinese diners.📍 📍 Recommended Dishes: 1️⃣ Mapo Tofu 🫛 🔸Made with fermented bean paste and black beans imported from China, perfect over rice. 120 EGP | Rating: 2️⃣ Tofu & Vegetable Soup 🥄 🔸A simple, homestyle soup—even better with a splash of vinegar (for us sour-loving Northwesterners!). 🔸74 EGP | Rating: 6/10 (Great value, but presentation could improve.) 3️⃣ Dry-Fried Shredded Beef 🥩 🔸The beef is coated in batter, fried with potato strips, then stir-fried with dried chilies and bell peppers. Super flavorful but a tad salty. 🔸257 EGP | Rating: 7/10 4️⃣ Steamed Rice 🍚 🔸Why mention rice? Because while most dishes are reasonably priced, the rice costs 30 EGP per bowl—steep when decent-quality Egyptian rice sells for 17 EGP per 500g. Overall: 🔸Prices: ~250 EGP for meat dishes, ~120 EGP for veggies, ~70 EGP for soups. 🔸Per-person cost: ~50 RMB. 🔸Ambiance: Strong East Asian vibes with heavy-handed decor. 🔸Service: Friendly, no pressure for tips.
