No.7 Chinese Restaurant-7号中餐厅 — Restaurant in Municipality of Heraklion

I was honestly alittle excited to try this spot with so many glowing reviews, the food itself was underwhelming that I didn’t want to take pictures. It’s pretty standard stuff for a Chinese restaurant in Europe. Value is there but quality is average but I must say the male chef ( boss) was super welcoming and still seat us even though it wasnt service hours. We had tried the hot and sour soup ,beef noodle soup, Chinese pan cakes, fried rice, fried noodles, pork dumplings and shrimp dumpling ( har kow). Beef noodles soup 4/10 for me was the worst of the dishes. The soup was just under seasoned and felt really watered down msg soup, though the beef brisket chunks were quite tender and flavourful, I guess they didn’t add any braised stock they used for their beef for the two bowls we ordered.

Chinese Scallion pancakes 3/10 ours were burnt and cooked by the lady staff or boss. The scallions itself was black meaning it wasn’t really fresh at all.

Fried shrimp noodles / beef noodles. 7/10 both diff orders just with diff main ingredient.

Pork dumplings 9/10 great flavor! Definitely the highlight.

Shrimp dumpling 6/10 felt it came from a frozen premade which ain’t all that surprising especially in Europe.

“Special fried rice” mixture of meats and some shrimps. 7/10.

Atmosphere might have been different if we sat in the restaurants other wing across that small street facing the beach and with glass window blocking...

Two stars were given because of a very bad delivery experience.I had ordered five items which three were food items and too soft drinks along with cutlery and napkins since I was staying in a hotel. On the initial delivery one food was missing along with the cutlery and the napkins! Following my phone call the missing food arrived along with the folk to eat it. The whole process took approximately one hour out of which 30 minutes The first arrival of food were getting cold due to not being able to eat it without cutlery. I found this experience very unprofessional on the delivery process of the shop.

The food I ordered consisted of Oder noodles with beef, Special fried rice and Japanese sushi. The Chinese side were really tasty but seemed very fast prepared i.e some shells and tails from the prawns were still inside the food? The Japanese sushi wasn’t their best effort and needed major improvement to eat it pleasantly.

Closing my review I would not recommend delivery from this shop, since many things can go wrong. The packaging is not prepared well and major delays or flaws is on their process could disturb your peace.

Probably a different experience is offered while dining in, But I...

This was honestly the most delicious restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life – I have never tasted food this good before. The menu was very diverse, with so many choices and unique dishes. The place itself is beautiful, offering seating on the terrace, by the sea, or inside the restaurant.

The waitress was very kind and attentive, helping us choose dishes and making sure we had everything we needed. The portions were huge, beautifully presented, and unforgettable – especially the shrimp dish, which looked amazing and tasted even better. The meat and soup were also incredibly special and flavorful. We ordered a lot of food and couldn’t stop eating – we finished everything because it was that good!

At the end of the meal, we were even treated to fresh watermelon. The whole experience was wonderful – delicious food, quiet atmosphere, and excellent service. Truly unforgettable!

For anyone reading this review: I highly recommend visiting this restaurant and enjoying the fresh and tasty food. Even though it’s very different from Cretan cuisine and offers a completely different concept, it is absolutely worth it. I wish the restaurant lots of success...
