We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant due to the unprofessional behavior of one of the servers, Nabil (long curly hair). From the moment we entered, we felt unwelcome. I overheard him pointing out to a colleague that we were Egyptian, which immediately made us uncomfortable.
Throughout our visit, Nabil’s attitude was consistently dismissive and aggressive. He responded to our questions with irritation, and at times, didn’t respond at all. When serving the food, he placed the dishes on the table in a manner that felt deliberately hostile and careless.

We had the best authentic chinese meal experience in maadi. The food was served hot, fresh and came quickly. I really tasted the REAL sichuan pepper and other yummy flavors that enhanced the taste of the food. Please note the portion of the food is big good for sharing family style.

Thank you! I'll be back......
