Casa de Waipo — Restaurant in Barcelona

We were craving some Chinese food and I was not coming in with high expectations. It is always hard to find decent Chinese food that is reasonably priced and that have good flavor. We walked in and it was not super busy. We ate around 1730. The majority of the customers were Asian. The atmosphere was ok. It was definitely what you would expect walking in to an Asian restaurant. It wasn't a hole in the wall place. It was clean, but dim in there. They do offer free Wi-Fi, which is a huge plus for some. We ordered a few different entrees and have read that the entrees are smaller than what you would expect. We ordered beef noodle soup, eggplant dish, fried rice with vegetables, and fried dumplings. The beef noodle soup dish was a surprise. It had great flavor, but I wish they added a little more beef in my opinion. Other than that the meat was tender and it definitely could have filled someone up with that meal. There were 10 dumplings in the order. Personally, I believed it was made fresh and not frozen or store bought. That was a relief. The dipping sauce had a good flavor and with a little bit of hot sauce it just made it that much better. Secondly, the fried rice was tasty, but the dish was a little bit smaller, but would go well paired with an entree for a meal for someone or even to split. Lastly, the eggplant dish was so-so. It had the right flavors, but maybe some more sauce would have made it a little more pleasant. It was a little dry without sauce in my opinion. Overall good food and the service was so-so. The food came out at a timely matter. All the food that was ordered was filling for three people. We were not able to finish some of the dishes. We definitely tried to over...

Really tasty Chinese - as good as you can get in UK takeaways.

The egg fried rice and chick noodles (chow mein) were great with lots of meat and veg included. The prawns with vegetables lacked too many prawns (7 shared by 3 of us) but the chicken and peanut dish (not satay but cooked whole peanuts) was delicious.

It was a bit quiet inside but this was midweek and only 8pm.

Decor is basic at best, and the TV blasting out Chinese K-Pop (C-Pop?) was a distraction but the food and the price more than made up for it. Only costing €31 for 3 people including drinks!

We'll be going back to try the other dishes we couldn't fit in...

Lo lamento pero no ha sido una buena experiencia y no volveré. He pedido los platos por su nombre pero, viendo que el idioma local (catalán o castellano, me da igual) ni está ni se le espera, he optado por pedir los platos mencionando el número de plato. Tampoco ha servido de nada. Finalmente he tenido que señalar las fotos y entonces parece que me han entendido. Parece, porque han traído otra cosa. En plan estilo libre y tal. Los dos platos tailandeses no tenían nada de tailandeses. Eran dos chopsueys de ternera y pollo de toda la vida con su bambú, su pimiento y su cebolla, servidos en el típico torito chino de hierro. Tal cual. Lo otro se suponía que eran unas brochetas de arroz glurinoso frito. Pues nada... Las brochetas tampoco estaban. Era el arroz glurinoso puesto en el plato, revuelto con huevo y col. No estaba malo pero no eran las brochetas de la foto. El postre era un plátano frito con miel. Al pedirlo, he tenido que hacer con las manos como si sostuviera una carta, para que entendiesen que tenían que traerla, ya que no han entendido nada cuando he mencionado las palabras "plátano con miel", que era tal cual estaba escrito en la carta. He señalado la foto y la camarera ha salido disparada a un súper para comprar los plátanos. Estaba rico, eso sí. Aunque para cuando estaba hecho ya había digerido dos veces. Al pagar han sacado la cuenta rápidamente, porque eso sí lo entienden genial. Pero estaba mal. He tenido que pedir que lo corrigieran. Ha sido como un homenaje a la integración, o más bien a la falta total de voluntad por integrarse. Visto lo visto y que no pasa nada, quizás debería yo aprender mandarín para poder comer chopsuey en un...
