Chinese restaurant/中餐厅。卢家小院儿。Lu family — Restaurant in Samarkand City

Nice restaurant and store front with variety of asian, namely Chinese packaged foods and beyond. Good location, nice food, especially good tea. Menu needs work although looks like tried to adjust to local catering too. I worked in several Chinese restaurants in USA and can tell that sushi bar would make big difference if introduced.

Although the place left me with a puzzling aftertaste, I wouldn't say it was a negative thing. So concluding, the restaurant, named after Confucius, is like his philosophy — it takes multiple visits to fully comprehend...

The service was slow and inefficient, our meals were brought out 5 mins before the rice was, which was frustrating, as the restaurant only had 2 other customers there. Food was very average & certain dishes, mainly the spicy chicken, was mainly bone and gristle. The atmosphere was non-existent, no music, cold lighting. I just really fancied a Chinese that night, after eating that, I don’t think I’ll be feeling another one...
