First time I was here was almost a year ago and their portions were really generous and big. I’ve tried most of the duck dishes from here and a big part of the menu( I eat here a lot). I’ve noticed that vegetables and portion sizes have varied a lot since then. I think they’ve overall made them a bit smaller maybe to profit. And prices have risen very little. But the Restaurant is really getting what it deserves. I think people are starting to notice that this is still cheap for Zurich or reasonable priced at least. For me 16 Franks for Mango fried chicken with rice, and I’m full. Quite a nice Ambiente, nothing too expensive just generally nice Chinese vibes. Owner and cooks all from Asia and they know what they’re cooking at least it seems to me. I also recommend trying the mango sago it’s a large mango drink with small mango bubbles at the bottom and tastes amazing. Love eating here. Top Chinese place to eat in Zürich.

Went to this place after seeing the good and sizable number of ratings and reviews that they received. Especially when they touted that they specialized in DongBei (North East région of China) dishes. However, my group was very disappointed with the quality of food. The skin of the steamed dumplings are too thick (though the meat fillings inside is ok) - 3/5, the sweet&sour chicken is ok - 3/5, stirred fried vegetables is the best of the lot - 5/5, the chicken in chilli oil - the chicken pieces are tough and likely due to the use of frozen chicken, but the mala sauce that it is cooked with was ok -2/5, aubergine cooked in garlic and YuXiang sauce was really bad. The vinegar used for the dish tasted really weird and we hardly touched the dish - 0/5. The place is also extremely stuffy, we had to take turns to step out to get some fresh air during our meals. The only redeeming grace is that the service was very good and attentive. I think that the reason that they have gotten such a good ratings could be that they had adjusted the authentic dongbei food to suit the more western palate. Understandable since they are operating in Switzerland. A suggestion is that they should cook their authentic style for the people that knows DongBei food or even Chinese food. We were conversing with the service staff in Mandarin which is the native language of the Chinese. The menu need not be large but the quality of the real DongBei dishes must be authentic.

Read lots of good review and decided to give it a try. Went there lunch time, around 14:00 on a Saturday, so it wasn't too busy and was able to sit down without booking. Ordered only two dishes, one is their specialty, pan fried bun, really tasty and this time, I won't complaint it's too salty. Very rare. The other dish is sautéed aubergine, I was say, the ingredients are great and cook to perfection, but too sweet to my taste. Personally, I would not order it again, just because I found it too sweet. I would recommend it to friends and family and it will be a place to visit just for its pan fried bun. And when you eat the bun, be mindful of the juice inside the buns, one of them burst and the juice is all over my phone. It's another sign of good quality fried bun. Enjoy

👍🏼 The fried rice portion was fulfilling. 👍🏼 Grandpa who delivered the food to our table was caring and nice. 👍🏼 Good location. 👎 The old lady who served us was a bit impatient and not polite. We asked about the tea and she had this upset tone of voice when she explained it. She then stood around if not next to us, at first I thought she just wanted to check on the customer, but when she kept eyeing us and picked up the dirty plate as soon as we finished eating, that's where we feel annoyed. 👎 The foods was meh, added it with the old lady attitude. We only ate it because we were hungry, even with that the food didn't feel tasty. 👎 Pricey for a not fantastic taste. 👎 The lights were too dim, as people still need to read the menu, so best is to make it brighter.

Giving this five stars because I hAve never had better Chinese food in my life ! We came to Zurich for the night and I was actually on yelp looking for late night places to eat and this particular place had great reviews and was super close to Our hotel. We did show up about 45 minutes before they were closing, but they told us that it’s pretty quickly made. My boyfriend and I ordered a spritz to drink. The menu is very VERY large. We went with a few different I items to split. All the food was amazing ! It came out quickly. The crispy duck was SO good. I highly suggest trying that. I haven’t eaten Chinese since here because of how great the food was !

I’m not really fond of Chinese food somehow. Most of the sauces are too thick and sweet for me and ruining the overall taste. But nevertheless this one was more than solid for me. My wife and I shared two fried ducks: one Szechuan style and one with soy sauce and vegetables. The Szechuan style was a bit too sweet as mentioned above but the one with soy sauce was perfect for me. Portions are big, so if you go there in a group in might make sense to order one portion of rice for two people. Service was a bit confused at the beginning because we entered with another couple but in the end it was fine!
