New Shang Hai — Restaurant in Upravna Enota Ljubljana

This is not an authentic Shanghainese restaurant, rather offering the typical Cantonese style cheap Chinese takeaway experience - still worthwhile trying if you’re in Ljubljana and desperate for Chinese food given lack of any obviously better alternatives.

We had hot and sour soup (excellent), white rice (excellent) and two stir fries (ok and reason for my earlier comment).

The stir fries were 1) mixed veggies and 2) gong bao calamari. The two dishes (and indeed pretty much the whole menu of stir fried dishes from what we saw and understood from the waitress) taste pretty much the same - they come smothered with the same sauce, give or take minor tweaks. In particular the gong bao calamari was disappointing because it wasn’t a real gong bao dish - it had no sweetness and just none of the usual taste.

I would have given 4 stars for the food, pretty much, not bad, nothing special. While entering they asked us in english if we are students.

We just left with a bad feeling, even if the...

Genuine Shanghai cuisine in Ljubljana. Seemingly off-centre, but Ljubljana is small and it is about 10 minutes’ walk from the city centre (University, Philharmonic Hall, and Theatre), or just 2 minutes from the Central Market, Tourist Information Centre and the funicular to the Castle. It is hidden in a small alley to the side. But genuine Sour and Spicy Soup, fried dumplings we had, and fried ice-cream for dessert. Chinese food served by Chinese at very reasonable prices. If you want some Asian food after the heavy Open Kitchen on Fridays, and Beer and Burger Fest here on Saturday, be good to your stomach with some genuine, lighter...
