XIANG DIMSUM — Restaurant in Padua

Been back 2x now. Photos are from first visit and second vist with to go order. Take home order. Service is always beyond amazing. Highly recommend.

We saw this place in a fb video. I took a screen shot so we could find it. This never showed on google when I looked up good Chinese restaurants and bao or dim sum restaurants. This is now our favorite ❤️. I had some dishes I haven't had accurately in months. This place is perfect! If you don't like the food here, the problem is you not the restaurant because this place is perfect. We loved the food. It was beyond amazing. Reminds of the food I had when living in Beijing and Hawaii. Service is wonderful. Everyone was so kind. And most speak English which helps. I can understand a few languages but I can be nervous having a conversation. But I can communicate when needed. Even though they were busy on a Tuesday. They gave each table perfect service. Our second black bao was forgotten in the order and we were charged for it. So we are considering that a tip to them instead of being upset about it. The restaurant was so busy. And they had 1 British customer causing a lot of trouble. I felt bad for his date and for the servers handling him. So why we were not upset over the kissing bao and tea. (Second order of tea was missing too, but we were not charged for it) mistakes happen. Will still be going back often when we can. We live locally, but very busy traveling around Italy and the usa for work. The price here is very good compared to other places. Most places way over charge and the food is a mockery. The food here is beyond outstanding ❤️. I lobe fusion...

It was ok but nothing special.

After reading the reviews and looking at the ratings, we expected something at least a little special, unusual, nice. However the dumplings were just dumplings, the pad thai was completely bland and tasteless, the coffee was over extracted (very bitter) even though the beans were clearly good quality (they were just poorly prepared).

There are two paths to take for every asian food restaurant : practical and cheap fast food or a restaurant that will give you an unforgettable new experience. I love both types of restaurants but this place is right in the middle of the spectrum. the food is not unique and tasty enough yet, the atmosphere is not captivating, however the portions are small and the prices are...

Giving it 4 stars not because of their dimsums, but because of their... pad thai! So far, they serve the best pad thai in Padova (in my opinion). Everything is on point, even for the amount of spice and also spiciness. I think you can ask for it to be not spicy, but what's the point of having a non-spicy pad thai?

As for the dimsums... I don't know what to say. I always feel that they are too fancy for the simple, homemade dimsums I used to eat back home. I was searching for the traditional dimsum but it's so hard to get it in this restaurant. Those fancy dimsums are intimidating for me.... Also, the price is kind of shocking so if you're a student, I don't really recommend this...
