Sesame Dim Sum and modern Chinese cuisine — Restaurant in Valletta

With one dish we literally couldn’t eat and had to return, I wouldn’t recommend visiting this place.

After many vegan pizzas and pasta in Valletta, we wanted something a bit different. Seeing a few vegan options on the menu, we decided to sit down here. Unfortunately, we regretted that very quickly.

We had margaritas, and they were definitely premixed with little to no alcohol. We had samosas and spring rolls to start, and even though they were okay, they were straight from the freezer. Then the worst were the mains. We had wonton soup and I ordered the crispy potatoes because I was scared to order anything too complicated to cook.

The potatoes were edible, but I wouldn’t say it was a main course, with a few potatoes, half a tomato and a tiny bit of lettuce on the plate. And they weren’t even crispy lol, also 100% from the freezer.

The wonton soup was inedible, we didn’t even try it because it looked so disgusting. The water was grey, there were gelatinous bits, and after giving it a sniff and smelling nothing but stale water, we couldn’t bare to put it in our mouths.

On the positive side, the waiters were very nice, and when they saw us reluctant to eat the soup, they took it away and offered to replace it. We said no thanks but please can we have the bill and left lol

I wouldn’t recommend to anyone tbh and definitely not the vegans looking for Asian food. Sure the atmosphere was fine, but compared to the rest of Valletta, quiet and boring.

If you’re vegan, pls just eat another vegan pizza. If you’re not vegan, pls go somewhere for...

Made a reservation, last minute - very accommodating for a Saturday night at 8:30pm via phone. When we arrived we were greeted and sat. Service is good but I would recommend the servers to be a bit more forth coming explaining the menu and anything to create some connection with the customer. Other than just asking if we wanted water. We ordered the pork bao buns and the satay chicken skewers - both were tasty but for the prices they are charging they could add a bit more pork to the bao buns and some more chicken for the skewers. Price was the town off here and quantity for the price.

For mains we ordered the lemon chicken and beef in oyster with egg fried rice as the side to share. Service became slow after the starters, long wait for mains had to ask the waiter why as all other tables who came after had received their food and already halfway through theirs.

Taste was okay could be more flavour but clearly the beef oyster was much tastier than the lemon chicken - fried rice was dry and seemed a bit over cooked. Overall a good experience would not leave a one but not a 5 either. Do believe there could be a lot of improvement for them to really succeed in Valletta.

Main downfall was service as other than greeting us at the beginning - didn’t ask if the food was good or check in after placing food down. No explanations no thank you or how was everything...

Once and never agein.

My companion and I were hungry and the menu looked inviting. We were greeted warmly, so we decided to eat here. We ordered fish fillet with vegetables for 15 euros each and BBQ ribs for about 13 euros, along with some rice as a side dish and a large still water. After about 30 minutes, the food was served. Unfortunately, the fish pieces were cold and the few strips of vegetables could not possibly be worth 15 euros. The BBQ ribs were also served cold and tough, perhaps they were once warm but by the time they were served, they were already cold and chewy. The rice was the only warm item, but even that was not particularly well-made. We only ate half of our meals and when asked if everything was alright, I mentioned the cold food. However, nothing was done about it and no apology was given. When we paid, it was nearly 50 euros (including additional cola and coffee), which I found to be completely overpriced for the small amount of cold, half-eaten food. I raised this issue again and asked if we really had to pay the full amount for cold, barely-eaten food, but we were still charged the full amount. We will certainly not visit this restaurant again and cannot recommend...
