Love their front door! Probably will return…read more Tour bus stopped at Chinatown, and many riders were leaving. Why not, we haven't have lunch yet. It's a short walk from the bus stop to the arch, which I think is the best looking Chinatown: trees lined pedestrian only street, and it's clean, and hip. Street food shops. Most people are not Asians. And most of them are young: A good hang out place. According to the tour bus recordings, Buenos Aires saw rush of Chinese immigrants, from Taiwan began to arrive 1980s, and followed by the main land in 1990s. One thing we noticed quickly, neither Yelp nor Google can keep up with the changing pace here: a couple of restaurants we thought we'd like to go (such as Cantina China) are no longer in business. So we went to Royal Mansion. A young Chinese couple just came out and the man was still beautifying his tooth with a toothpick. A very promising sign... but unfortunately they don't take credit card. It's a substantial establishment, at least two floors. Oh well. So we ended up here, at China Rose. We actually passed by it and didn't see any Asians were dinning, the first time around. Oh well, we became the Asian -:) The only two places I saw are busy in Chinatown, with many Asians are supermarkets. At Rose: high ceiling. Clean and modern decor. Menu has English as well as Chinese, aside from Spanish. A lovely patio at the back - it's not open at the moment when we went. Full bar. No chopsticks were offered. Very good service. We've two dishes, both tasted ok, too heavy with corn starch and NOT sweet: braised tofu 家常豆腐, pretty good; but the sesame oil isn't too appetizing shredded pork with fish flavor 鱼香肉丝: the size of the pork is huge, like French fries. Gosh. And they added vinegar... But it beats out sweet -:) The tofu was hot, which meant they cooked the pork first and served them together. Chinese dishes are served one by one, is the norm. But I noticed it, the US, especially at banquets, dishes are served simultaneously. Oh well! Little Irene can't fight the huge tide. Regarding Chinatown, I enjoyed reading this one Discover Barrio Chino.  I asked our server for nail salon and she went back with the recommendation, which I went: Thank You.

Sat down and we were like only 5 tables. Ordered our food. Took 20 minutes for an order of…read moredumplings. And other 20 minutes for the fried wontons. Another 15 for our fried rice, sweet and sour pork and general tso chicken. And waited and waited and turns out he missed 4 of our dishes. Terrible service.
