This restaurant was advertised to me as very authentic and good Chinese food. While it wasn't bad, it was fairly standard for the most part, so I can only assume that Chinese cuisine is not Geneva's forte.
We swung over during our lunch break, and ordered the steam bok chai, chicken with szechuan sauce, beef with black bean,a nd tofu in soy sauce--a pretty good sampling of their cuisine. The beef was my favorite, with the tofu coming in a close second. The black bean on the beef was flavorful but not too salty or overbearing, and my tastebuds almost jumped in pleasant surprise at the first bite. Although that was the extent of any dramatic reaction the food induced, the tofudish was also very good, especially the mushrooms (if only there had been more!). The bok chai was pretty standard but went well with the hot sauce. The chicken was my least favorite, as the meat texture felt a bit cheap and the sauce tasted slightly of chemical flavorants.
Overall the food was fairly good Chinese fare, and as I understand it, a pretty good price (about CHF13-17 per dish). But it wasn't amazing or particularly memorable, and I'd probably be willing to spend a little more if it meant slightly more refined cuisine.
What I do love about Geneva is that the coffee, even at a random Chinese place, is rich, creamy espresso! read more
