Rujia Ristorante 儒家餐厅 — Restaurant in Milan

An average restaurant that I won’t repeat. The experience with the greasy tablet you are provided is not ideal (we lost all progress in food we added to the cart when by accident we left the app) and requires to have e a requires a real person to finally place the order. The plates came very fast (too fast) starting with a veal plate that looked nothing like the picture and was composed of small pieces of fried veal super dry with sesame and some herbs. Later we saw another table with the same plate but larger and more apeticing pieces , not dry. Also the pork with sweet and sour sauce was very bland and peppers just warm , uncooked. The noodles with veal and vegetables were actually alright and the soup with noodles and dim sum was fine as well. Maybe we didn’t choose the right plates in the menu but with what we had this is a totally...

Good food, but very empty.

Had lunch for 3 here. The food was actually pretty good, not sure why the restaurant was virtually deserted.

Dim sum were great, good flavours and textures. 8/10

Stir-fry pig intestines were great, lovely textures and flavour. My favourite dish out of what we ordered. 9/10

We got a bottle of sour plum juice to share which was lovely and refreshing 8/10.

Overall, the meal was good, but a few dishes let it down. The bill came in a little on the expensive side, but considering we were 3 and we probably ordered 1-2 too many dim sum,...

Seriously, this is one of the many tourist traps that have recently opened in Chinatown, which it’s losing its real, down to earth character in favor of vertical shops or pretentious restaurants. This the case of Rujia, a fancy Chinese restaurant with some truly authentic Sichuan dishes and steep prices. Some appetizers like the yuba (€6) and the xiao long bao (€7 and very little broth) are kinda tasty, but the main course, a meat soup with tofu was quite flavorless for the €16 it costs. The staff is not friendly at all, except for a nice lady who was the only one helping us choose with a smile. The A/C is set so high that you need a sweater and a hat in order not to get a congestion (and I love the cold!). 73 euros...
