Yangda Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Heidelberg

Been here for several times and tried different food each time. A few dishes were subpar, the others were just average level.

Guo Bao Rou: It’s not with Sichuan-pepper salt, nor sweet sour or with ketchup, it’s only sugary, and tooooo sugary! You cannot taste any other single flavor from it. I’d call it fried sugar pork cause it tasted like pork fried in melted sugar. No cooks in China in their right mind would cook something like this. Just GROSS! 🤢 Pork with cucumber: average Fried rice with shrimp: average taste, but the rice was a bit undercooked and tough Di San Xian (Vegetables pan): unpleasantly sugary. Does the kitchen get all those sugar for free? Peeled shrimp with tofu: fine Fried noodles with beef: fine Mao Xue Wang: average

Service was fine in most cases, but I remember once I went here during lunch time when there were many customers, I had to wait for my one simple stir-fry for a whole hour, asked the server in vain for several times, while the men at the table beside me who ordered at almost the same time with me got all of their four dishes a lot earlier. Probably a young woman by herself looks like a pushover to the staff! 🙄

Conclusion: avoid this restaurant if possible. I’m only giving three stars because one of the staff was very nice every time, otherwise...

Went first week of August 2022, arrived at 7.30 pm and ordered within 10 mins. We ordered the full fish (and other three dishes) and they told us that fish will take time which we were ok with. The tripe was quite good starter, the fish was decent, the kungpao duck reminds me of indian Manchurian recipe which I do not dislike so it was good. The stir fry bok choy was good. Now the downside The food were all sub-par The service was sooo so bad, rude hosts We had to ask/remind them of each and every dish. We had to ask for the rice and by the time it came it was almost cold and chewy The food came 15 to 30 mins after the other, by the time the bok choy came it was 9 pm (hard to understand how it came last since it's probably the easiest to make 😁) and we were asked to hurry by 9.10 as they were going to close soon (by this time I was so annoyed that I marked all the timings) P.s. don't carry your own water, it was a very hot day, my friend and I had each half full 500ml bottles of water with us, we were told rudely that we will be charged for our water, we immediately hid our bottle 😂 Luckily they didn't Even if I had liked the food I will...

The best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been!! Absolutely THE BEST. It’s the restaurant you want to visit at any cost if you love Chinese food, and are near Mannheim or Heidelberg. It is located right in front of the tram station, so that you can find it immediately. We ordered “Drool chicken” and “sichuan boiled fish”. The sauce of both dishes were amazingly made by a perfect balance of numerous spices which brings you to ecstasy. The chicken was very tender and bean sprouts in the boiled fish absorbed the sauce and became juicy that despite of the massive size we could manage to eat almost everything. Not only has this restaurant got high quality dishes in a reasonable price, but also a high quality service. The staffs are very friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy. We were delighted to find one of the personnels trying to cover with his hands so that the sauces wouldn’t spill and bounce to us when he was cleaning up the dishes after we finished eating it. We’ve never seen such service with care and delicacy in a restaurant. We are glad and thankful to all people in the restaurant, and of course we’ll be...
