Kota Radja — Restaurant in Milan

A Chinese To-Go for Milan’s hustling crowd - A must for me. Strangely, it’s a Chinese restaurant where you feel at home.

This isn’t the plush fusion spot in the city center, catering to models, footballers, and idlers, where everything is dimly lit, and the portions are microscopic. Nor is it the glitzy All You Can Eat on the outskirts, with flashy decor and endless, low-quality dishes. And it’s certainly not the cramped, uninviting Asian eatery you’d never step into.

We’re in the more bourgeois, industrious heart of Milan: Piazzale Baracca, Conciliazione, Magenta, and Vercelli - a bustling area for those on the go.

The atmosphere offers an idyllic interpretation of China, which we can appreciate. It’s clean, bright, and well-organized. Tables are close but never noisy, ensuring private conversations. It’s a place for families, friends, and non-glamorous couples to gather.

Service follows the Confucian style typical of Chinese restaurants: don’t expect the smiles and reverence of Thai or Balinese hospitality. But here, the staff are fast, polite, and surprisingly warm - which is a welcome touch.

The food? Chinese cuisine is tailored for Milan, but there’s also a dedicated sushi section to keep things from feeling like an All You Can Eat free-for-all. Dishes are well-prepared and nicely presented, with portions that satisfy.

It’s a bourgeois Chinese trattoria for practical people - those who savor life but are always...

Service was excellent. Food was delivered quickly. The fried wontons were not expected. I was expecting more a time Rangoon type of wontons. However, shrimp fried rice was really good. Definitely try the fried rice and the Tofu with chili oil. Both of these dishes are traditional. The different chicken dishes were extremely flavorful. The only dislike was the portions was a little small compare to what was expected. Overall...

I just walked in this restaurant at 8:00 pm on a rainy Saturday night. The owner said there were no places available and we could not be served and a reservation was necessary. This has never happened in my life and I have traveled all over the world and eaten at extremely nice restaurants. This woman was extremely rude. There was not one customer dining in the place! I do not recommend...
