During my recent visit to the restaurant, I decided to try the chicken soup noodles and fried rice. To my pleasant surprise, the quantity served was more than ample, easily satisfying the hunger of two individuals. The portion sizes were not only generous but also quite reasonable in terms of pricing, making it a budget-friendly option for a satisfying meal. What stood out beyond the culinary experience was the commendable customer service. Despite encountering a language barrier, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a positive interaction. Their friendly demeanor and genuine efforts to communicate effectively added a personal touch to the overall dining experience. The combination of delicious dishes, reasonable prices, and welcoming customer service makes it a noteworthy choice for anyone seeking a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

Big portions and fast service. Went here for a late lunch since I saw it recommended. And can say that it's very good if you want something affordable that tastes good. Portions are very generous, cheap, and tastes like it should. The menu is also very big and you can find all from soup, fried rice, noodles to dumplings. And you have a few dishes that are pictured in the menu if it's hard to choose. On the other hand, don't expect exceptional service since that's not how they work here. You will get a menu order the food (preferably fast) and eat and be out as fast as possible. Also, when I went here (around 14:00 on a Monday), there were quite a lot of people, so be mindful that it's quite popular. It can also be a bit hard to have a conversation since it gets really noisy in the dining area.

I have absolutely no idea why so many people are saying the food here is good. This place is by far the WORST so called chinese food I’ve had in barcelona. I repeat. THE WORST. The taste is not authentic at all, just crazy amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce. The most disgusting dish was the fried rice. Shame to call yourself a chinese resto when you cant even make rice well. Our whole table (all chinese) were absolutely disappointed and feel scammed by the positive comments and fame it has. The quality of the food is reflected in the price. The meat tasted not fresh and everything was just disgusting. We left without finishing even half. There are way better chinese places in this city. Im sad that people in this city thinks this is chinese food. Chinese version comment: 一句到尾，真的很難吃，不可一，不可再，講完。

Let me start off by saying that this restaurant is ran by really friendly and accommodating people. With that said, this is probably the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever tried. I grew up eating Chinese food and have eaten it in different Asian, Western and European countries as well. I had high expectations for this restaurant because of the rave reviews but seriously, the food is really bad. I ordered the most basic dishes, which were the sweet and sour ribs, xiao long bao and plain rice. The ribs were small and soggy from the ketchup-vinegar "sweet and sour sauce". The xiao long bao were greasy buns, not the original soupy dumplings. Even the rice was brownish and it looked like I got the bottom bits from the rice cooker. Truly disappointing! This is not what Chinese food tastes like!

First impression you get of the place is that it's packed to the brim and the waiters don't seem to have the ability or the will to understand anything you say to them. But as soon as you're seated and spend 5 minutes here, it'll be as if you'd been transported to China. The food is great, taste is authentic and portions are generous. I'm a big bloke and eat like an army of 200, so I ended up being grateful that the waiter advised me against ordering anything else after choosing 2 dishes. The staff do struggle with the communication, but it's a very small price to pay for the amazing food. You also realise the previously mentioned unwillingness to communicate is only due to how busy the place is, which proves the quality of the food.

First time I came to this restaurant was almost 10 years ago and everyone having lunch there was Asian but me (a Chinese friend took me to experience real Chinese cuisine). Ever since, the restaurant has become increasingly popular amongst the locals. Even though I must say I believe the quaility has worsened, it has a very extensive menu with a varied selection of tasty dishes, which are so big that you must certainly share. The restaurant itself looks rather old-fashioned and unsophisticated but the toilets are kept clean. Great quality/price ratio & bear in mind to go early since it gets packed quickly!
