Lan Yuan Restaurant — Restaurant in Cairo

It’s one of the hidden gems in Maadi. It’s literally hidden. A small restaurant just behind Maadi Metro Station. You can see the big add then you have to take narrow stairs to reach the place.

It’s cozy and very quiet. We went there around 8:00 pm, it was empty. The decorations are simple and the lighting is dim. It can be a good spot for dates.

The staff are helpful and friendly. The waiter will help you decide what to order and recommend better stuff for you.

For appetizers, we ordered steamed vegetables dumplings, the dumplings were fresh but the sauce was not good 3/5 Then we got fried noodles with vegetables which was delicious 4/5 and crispy noodles with chicken, it was good too 4/5. I tried their curry Tofu, it was good but I tried better ones 4.5/5. My friend got chicken orange, 4/5.

Prices are really good. Food portions can be better, but it’s fair for the prices. They have a good variable menu. They are so popular on Talabat. They also serve different kinds of drinks. They add tax and service about 26%.

The over all experience was good and I think we will start ordering delivery from them.

I used to bring my small kids here for noodles and we loved it. Tried to go there this evening as a special treat for my son, but the restaurant was filled with young kids smoking while they are eating. No effort was made to welcome us, no effort was made to find us a table to eat. No effort was made to ask us if we would like to order something to take away. Some tables had people sitting and playing on their phones and not even eating. After 10 minutes of being ignored and glared at by the hosts and servers, and the moody teens, we left. Terrible service. and be advised this restaurant is now a smokers den, not for families and young kids. We really loved this place and I am very sad to know that we will never come back here again or order food from here ever...

I ordered Mongolian beef, bbq beef plate and mixed vegetables. Also steam shrimp dumpling! Unfortunately the Mongolian beef did not come in the bag and the bag was also not sealed. However, the taste of the bbq beef and vegetable were exceptional besides the fact that there were two slivers of cabbage in the mix( I was hoping there would be more). Real authentic and deep taste. I wish they sent some soy sauce but still very good quality food. Small portions but very affordable and good quality. I will order again. I just wish they sealed the bag because I don’t know if my food was taken by the man that delivered or if they just missed that whole part of my order. Thankfully, I was refunded by talabat! I am looking forward to visiting the...
