Quick China — Restaurant in Ataşehir

This is sort of an all-in-one style East Asian restaurant. I’ve been twice for lunch and tried at least 8 of their dishes. They do them well! Some of the dishes (like the sweet and sour chicken) are literally smothered in thick sauce, which isn’t my personal favourite, but I suppose it is common. The menu is also huge and slightly overwhelming, but they have pictures for pretty much every dish which is helpful.

I particularly enjoyed the salmon sashimi. From my guess it’s definitely farmed, but not too cheap and fatty like other salmon I’ve seen. It looked to me to be prepared well: no excess skin or fat. Melts in your mouth nicely. The duck dumplings (pictured) had a beautiful texture to it and was very tasty. I did find the meat to be slightly too much for the dumpling though. My favourite dishes were the ginger chicken, the general Tsao chicken, and the salmon sashimi. They served us fried banana with icing sugar (for free / ikram) which was amazing. Best fried banana I’ve ever had.

I think the decoration of the restaurant is a bit tacky and overdone yet still maintains a nice atmosphere. They had incense lit on both times I visited.

The service was good, but on my second visit our waitress neglected us slightly despite the restaurant being relatively empty. When she did serve us, she was helpful and warm.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place. It’s not super cheap but not too pricey either.

My judgements on the food are from personal experience trying many Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisines mostly in Canada (not in their native countries).

Food - 8.7/10 Atmosphere -...

Went there with my supersport motorcycle, fortunately there is a parking place available (not something you can call a parking space but it is what it is)

Access to the restaurant is easy, just go through mall security and turn left , continue along the route to the big Quick China template hanging outside the store.

I went there night time, so it was a little colder than usual. Fortunately they got heater hanging on the walls so that keeps you warm and cozy for the trip you are about to experience :)

Now I don't recommend eating along since you could go fat from all the amazing food there, so bring some company with you.

Best thing about this place is food and here are the ratings out of 10.

*Chicken ramen 6/10

*Kimchi (huge plate of spicy deliciousness) 10/10

*Lemonade (with a dash of fresh mint) 8/10

*Gyoza (with duck meat?!) 5/10 not my cup of tea but it is good and juicy nonetheless

*Noodles (w/ fresh veggies) 8/10

*Chicken katsu (fresh) 9/10

*Mochi (toooo cold for my taste, it is like ice inside gelatin covering) 3/10

*Complementary jasmine tea (very good and thoughtful) 9/10

Price is somewhat expensive but let's say it is worth to go 2/4 times in a month

Overall 8.7/10 , would recommend and come again.

With regards to the chef and...

My favorite Asian restaurant in istanbul ever!! Everything is staff member is nice, helpful and attentive- from the butlers to the waiters and chefs. Food is of highest quality and ingredients. Sushi is the best I’ve had here. And almost all the dishes are purely Asian! I’ve lived in Asia for years so this has been a very luxurious authentic experience for me. Even the ambiance, music & interior/ exterior is breathtaking.

I highly recommend the Passionate pitcher if you’re not drinking and their Duck baos, Duck gyoza and steamed shrimp dumplings are the best starters to have. For the main dishes, I’d recommend trying at least one roll from the special sushi rolls and i highly recommend their fried rice and noodles. Their seafood ramen is wonderful and their padthai is fresh and zesty. The garlic beef skillet was wonderful as well. They newly added a Korean night to their weekly specials where you can experience authentic Korean dishes every Wednesday! They’re open in Istanbul, Ankara, Capadoccia, and now in Adana.

They offer complimentary chicken pop starters and a jasmine tea at the end served in authentic Asian teapot on a tray and of course a fortune cookie !

Prices are a tad on the expensive side but trust me it’s all...
