CHUN XI — Restaurant in Athens

Authentic Chinese food right in the heart of Athens — worth a visit if you crave the Real Deal and like it spicy.

It’s not perfect though so let’s go through the negatives first: Some of the menu items (like the Peking duck) taste, frankly, average and are not worth your money.

Usually I don’t write reviews, but this time, the experience is worth writing. The Sichuan food was okay, however other cuisines are so lala. Most disappointed is the service, before we ordered food, the service is okay, but after we ordered, the quality of the service dropped. They spilled soup all over the table and even dripped on me, after that they did not even offer to clean the table and just went away. Woah, I was in shocked… Plus it is suspiciously overpriced ( maybe two menus?). If u are looking for somewhere like fast food, u can go there. But if u are here out for holidays to enjoy, you’d...
