Horse Restaurant老马家(Chinese cuisine) — Restaurant in Manta

We tried Horse restaurant for dinner last night for the first time. It was really exceptional. The restaurant is very small with only two tables . One table for four inside and another for six or seven. They also have outdoor seating for overflow. The server brought over menus for us and most of the items, if not all, we're also listed in english. We were told they are known for their potstickers and this is the predominant menu item listed. My husband ordered the pork pot stickers, and I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp. There were probably 13 potstickers and I had at least a dozen shrimp in my dish.

We also really love the General Tso’s chicken and the spicy Sichuan chicken. I recently tried the sweet and sour pork and will definitely be adding it to our usual order....

It is an incredible place, the food is amazing and the music too. They have the best veggie menu you can find in Manta and they are super kind. Just don’t forget to take cash with you because that’s the only payment method. I totally...
