    So I originally came from the greater Chinese region, spent about a decade in the U.S. across 3…read moredifferent States, and have now been living in Germany for about 7 years (1 year in the north, 2 years in the middle and now in the south). In between my main residencies, I've lived and worked in several other countries. Taking my background into consideration, which is that my palate is definitely not authentically anything, but I have tasted a lot of different variations of food in general, I find this Chinese restaurant generally quite tasty. To be clear, not all the dishes are to my liking, and they are very greasy... but come on, at least this part is very authentic. The dishes that I find are made well, to be honest, I find them really quite tasty. I typically...always...only... go with the following: M.10 pan fried dumplings L3 thinly sliced 5-spice beef topped with Chinese chili pesto C1 tender sliced beef cooked in soupy spicy sauce (this dish is quite massive) C3 fried spiced chicken with fresh pepper, dry chili and szechuan pepper C10 shrimp (with shell) tossed with dry chili and szechuan pepper S1 Mapo tofu S4 stir-fry of chinese chive, bean sprout and chewy 5-spice tofu Keep in mind, the dishes are portioned in a rather Chinese way, meaning they are meant for sharing. You are not supposed to get 1 dish and just eat that with rice... unfortunately that's not how these type of restaurants work in Asia. If I would go alone, I'd typically get 2 dishes and expect A LOT of takeaway... so usually if I am alone, I just directly do takeaway :D I recommend that you go with at least 2 people... if you are 2, and are not too hungry or have small appetite in general, get a small dish or starter plus one main dish. If you want to eat a decent size meal, get 2 main dishes (or even plus a small dish / starter). I've done 3 main dishes in the past with just myself and another person, we couldn't manage without leftover / takeaway. So, best to go with 3+ I know the reviews about them are very mixed online, I have mix feelings too. But I've been going there for 4 years now, and I reckon that they've addressed some of the complaints / issues mentioned online, and at the moment, I find both the food and service quality quite good.

    I have eaten here a few times now and last night seven of us went for dinner here. We ordered many…read moreof the traditional dishes off the menu and I had a chance to sample quite a few things. Loved each and every dish. I was running really late getting to dinner, so I asked my friends to preorder my food. The owner knew it was me and, he had recently read my Yelp review. Shortly after I arrived he came out with a dish of braised beef spiced just the way I like it and informed the guests "it's a Sam special". I felt so privileged for a moment :-))) And it was perfect ;-)) We had a Chinese friend with us and, she and her husband had lived in the Szechwan province for some years and, the husband remarked that, the pork dish was the best he had ever had and, even better than his wife's Szechwan style pork (which he thought was the best until last night). It was sort of a proud moment for me :-)) they are discovering what I already knew ;-)) So yea for spice lovers and lovers of Szechwan style cuisine, check it out. Let the pepper numb your tongue (it's a characteristic of Szechwan pepper) and enjoy the intense flavours. This is not a place for many people who don't like spicy food and, we had three such people in our group last night. I think they all loved it in the end. If you are willing to let your palette wander for a bit, the food might really surprise you. This is probably the first Chinese place in Munich, I would add to my "Asian in Munich" list :-)
