As someone who cherishes authentic culinary experiences, my visit to Lao in Turin was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled among the Italian eateries, Lao stands out like a rare jewel, and its brilliance comes from more than just the food.

After several days of observing eager diners queuing up, my curiosity got the better of me, and I found myself in line. The brief wait did nothing to dampen my spirits, especially as we were welcomed by the owner herself, a Shanghai lady with a smile as warm as the dishes she serves. She shared stories of her homeland's cuisine with such passion that I felt transported before even taking a bite.

We indulged in a feast of flavors, beginning with the light yet flavorful Zhu Rou Bao, a steamed pork bun that was the epitome of comfort food. Then came the Xiao Long Bao, delicate dumplings that burst with seasoned broth, a testament to the craft of Shanghai cooking. Opting for a vegan take on Dan Dan Noodles where the minced pork was replaced with smoked tofu and bamboo shoots, I was impressed by the rich, spicy layers of sesame and Sichuan sauce that coated every noodle—a vegan delight that didn’t skimp on authenticity.

The Su Ma Po Dou Fu followed, a dish where tofu, mushrooms, and fermented soybeans danced in a chorus of sweet, spicy, and sour flavors, leaving my palate thoroughly invigorated. Dessert was a simpler affair, a slice of Ma La Gao that, while a touch too greasy for my liking, was a sweet end to a splendid meal.

At EUR 44, including all the frills, this experience was worth every euro. Lao is more than a meal; it’s a slice of Shanghai served with a side of Italian charm. Can't wait to return for another round of those vegan Dan...

Sono stata una cliente affezionata del precedente locale fino all'anno scorso, quando a malincuore nel post pandemia ho rinvenuto che la qualità andasse calando. Scoprendo Lao, sono corsa a provarlo, nella speranza che la qualità di un tempo potesse essere tornata.

Sì, la qualità del cibo è tornata. Tutto il resto è da INCUBO.

Servizio indecente. Non so davvero da cosa iniziare. Locale pieno, veniamo fatti accomodare. Nessuno passa a prendere la comanda, se non che, dopo mezz'ora, siamo noi a richiedere l'attenzione della cameriera. Dopo un'altra mezz'ora iniziano ad arrivare i piatti in un ordine che, boh, davvero, roba da caos totale. Ritengo inconcepibile portare due piatti ogni 20 minuti. Eravamo in 4 e non abbiamo mangiato MAI insieme ma sempre uno alla volta. E quando finalmente io, l'ultima, ho ricevuto la mia portata, mentre ancora stavo mangiando, mi hanno tolto tutto davanti lasciandomi con il mio ultimo raviolo tra le bacchette (senza nemmeno la scodellina sotto per godermi il brodo). Un attimo dopo, per due volte, sono venuti a informarci di pagare in cassa, roba che stavo ancora masticando.

Aggiungiamo che chi aveva chiesto senza piccante ha ricevuto piccante. Aggiungiamo che a tavola, credo contro qualsiasi norma igienica, siamo stati invitati a mangiare con bacchette di legno usa e getta lavate (non erano nemmeno smaltate). Aggiungiamo che chi ha preso acqua, si è ritrovato acqua, non credo filtrata, CALDA e con un saporaccio. Non ricordo se l'abbiamo pagata, qualora l'avessimo anche pagata, vi prego, non pagatela. Aggiungiamo i prezzi molto alti. Pak-choi saltato in padella con aglio 8 euro, un esempio. Aggiungiamo che non è possibile prenotare, 19.15 fila di 30 persone e nessuno dei presenti nel locale è uscito a lasciare un numero o a prendere i nomi.

Aggiungiamo la terribile location. 30 gradi fuori e dentro tutto chiuso con un condizionatore portatile che non serviva a NULLA. Acustica da incubo, non udivo la voce di chi aveva di fianco.

Carissimi, cenare deve essere un piacere, un'occasione per la convivialità. Soprattutto quando il cibo è buono, le persone vogliono goderselo con calma, non correre perché LAO deve massimizzare i suoi guadagni. Nessuno chiede di restare a tavola per un'ora per chiacchierare (anche perché lì è impossibile), solo di poter terminare la propria cena con calma. Non mi interessa se è sabato, domenica o la festa di Ognissanti, le persone hanno il diritto di poter mangiare per gustare. Non intendo andare da Lao per riempirmi lo stomaco come un'oca, fare le foto e postarle sui social. Non tutti i clienti si accontentano di questo. Ho nostalgia del piccolo e intimo locale, dove il personale attentissimo al cliente perdeva anche 10 minuti alla volta per spiegarti come mangiare correttamente i ravioli, dove ti veniva chiesto quanto piccante volevi mangiare, dove tutto veniva servito in tempi celeri e tutti mangiavano insieme.

Spero davvero che la proprietaria possa far tesoro di tutte le recensioni non positive, perché il cibo che offre è davvero ottimo, ed è un peccato davvero costringere clienti affezionati a non poterlo gustare. Purtroppo, e lo dico a malincuore, per adesso, con questo servizio e questa organizzazione,...

I heard that the lady owner is from Shanghai and as a former long-time resident of the city I thought I ought to give the xiaolongbao a try. Watching them preparing it the minute you walked into the restaurant was a very positive sign - and it turned out to be very good, very juicy with skin that was not too thick. Aesthetically it was more local Shanghai-style than DTF-style which was quite charming. The spicy beef noodles were delicious, but I was a little bit disappointed with the lamb noodles as it tasted more like an Italian noodle dish with too much tomato sauce and though we asked for spicy it still wasn’t spicy enough. The 水晶虾饺 was tasty and made the Cantonese in me want to try the shiumai on our next visit. The serving staff was efficient and friendly, the young Italian male could even speak some Chinese. We started queuing up before they opened for lunch, so it was not a long wait. One suggestion would be to order your starters and mains separately so as not to have everything arrive at the same time. Very promising Chinese restaurant,...

Io, che sono sempre stato abituato ad associare la cucina cinese a riso cantonese, pollo al limone e involtini primavera ero molto curioso di provare questo ristorante; il locale mi ha lasciato a bocca aperta, arredamento fantastico e ambiente tranquillo. Il cibo è di una qualità ottima, preparato con ingredienti di alta qualità lavorati con maestria e porzioni abbondanti. Il servizio è stato veloce nonostante il locale fosse pieno, sicuramente il migliore ristorante cinese dalla mia vita, merita la visita!
