Inside it's a very basic, large banquet room much like you see a lot of in China. Good view of MC and STC skyline. Menus in Chinese & Spanish and half of the items in photos. Did not appreciate the sticky menus though. Service: Hit & miss. Some friendly waiters, others standoffish and rude. Food: great quality. I had the soup dumpling which were excellent and the shrimp pancakes. Fresh and tasty with good ingredients. Though shrimp was the only ingredient in the pancakes which could've had some veggies. Price: varies from really good to pricey for some of the specialty items. Overall pretty good value. I'll update when I go again and try other dishes.

I have been pretty desperate for authentic Chinese food and especially DimSum in Santiago, since…read moremost of the Chinese restaurants here serve quite different dishes. I've been tired of eating dry dumplings and chaufa (fried rice) that never taste even close to how they're supposed to be... Food Lays instantly became my favorite Chinese restaurant in entire Santiago for their quite authentic selection of dishes. This place is way better than Madam Tusan (peruvian Chinese chain) or Palacio Danubio Azul, that are much more expensive than this restaurant. They serve DimSum menu, including steamed shrimp dumplings, sticky rice in lotus leave, steamed buns with BBQ pork, congee (rice soup) with century egg, Shaolong Bao (steamed pork dumplings with soup), and etc... These dishes are quite hard to find in other Chinese restaurants in Chile. And they're mostly less than 3000CLP for each, really cheap!! I'm so glad I found this place now. *Such a shame I didn't take pictures this time... sorry!! I went there on Sunday lunch, at 12 o'clock. It's the opening time, so the restaurant was empty except out table. But I assume this place is more popular on Saturday or in evening~night hours of weekdays. I will definitely repeat coming back to this place for having DimSum!!

We dined…read morein for lunch on a Monday, and it was quite busy outside on their nice patio and in their extensive inside. I ordered their burrito & soup of the day combo (I chose the pumpkin carrot ginger soup of the two on offer) and my wife ordered the falafel plate. I'd say hers was the better of the two, as my dish was on the bland side and rather lack substance. Her plate was heartier; the falafel and sauces it came with were the highlight. The place itself is nice, and perhaps we didn't order optimally, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the food.

After a week of seeking out authentic Chilean food/experience all over Santiago Centro, I can…read morehonestly say that this place was my favourite. This could quite possibly be because it's SO CHEAP (I love cheap stuff), but to be truthful the food was the tastiest Chilean fare I managed to try here in Santiago. The location is tricky to find but its in the main food hall of La Vega and there are dozens of restaurants all located together in an open air, dingy space. I recommend the cazuela de vacuno (a traditional dish, basically a stew with a chicken soup like broth, a large piece of slow cooked beef, a wedge of pumpkin and a potato stewed with some other vegetables). This came with a side starter salad and soup, all for the price of 2,500 CLP. I also tried the cazuela de ave (same thing but with a 1/4 chicken instead of the beef) on another occasion.

One of the "picadas" of the Vega Chica is by far that of Tia Ruth. If you are looking for an…read moreexcellent taste of Chile that doesn't hurt your wallet, this is the place! The quality and simplicity of these dishes make Tia Ruth's stand out from the other offerings in the Vega Chica. Although, you must keep in mind this is a true whole in the wall, kind of dingy (with cats and all) but it is all part of the experience! This small restaurant has great service where the waiters always make you feel welcome (plus, they will let you know what is best to order that day...if something isn't as fresh they will be honest). They always have menus with a starter of soup and salad, juice and bread and pebre! If you are a vegetarian, this is not the place for you, but if you eat meat there are tons of different options. I suggest ordering the mechada or costillar (perfect if you are struggling from last night's carrete)! Also, can't go without mentioning the fried fish with rice - yum!

I probably have to preface my review with: I grew up with extremely good Asian food, and I have…read morevery low expectations for Asian food in Latin America. I got the spicy miso, small size, and it was surprisingly good. I was pleasantly surprised. The miso soup actually tasted like miso, and it was sufficiently spicy and flavorful. The noodles were cooked perfectly chewy, and the single chasu and half egg were both marinated and flavorful. Portions were a bit small for the price, but it was good! Would recommend it if you're looking for some noodles and ramen.

Service was fast, and the atmosphere great. The noodles and chassis were done perfectly although the egg was just barely over cooked for my taste, but it was still delicious. Their version of a sunomono cucumber salad is basically just a half a chopped cucumber with the dressing and sesame seeds poured over it. Okay, not great. If I went again I'd try something else. They have vegetarian options too if that's your thing, but I can't vouch for them. They have more than just ramen: Japanese style curry, donburi bowls, and more. If their non-ramen food is as good as the ramen then it's worth it to try.

Terrible service. And the food was mediocre at best…read more We visited with a party of 6. 5/6 people spoke Spanish in our group. We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine to share with 4 people and 2 beers for the other two. We ordered burgers, steak and I believe a pasta. After the meal we were ready to commit to more drinking and so we asked for the wine menu. After narrowing it down, we asked the server, male with a beard, light complexion with a nose ring, in Spanish "we want to buy a bottle of wine, but if you have this bottle open (since it's available by the glass) can we try it to make sure we like it before we commit to it" The server immediately rolled his eyes before turning around and beginning to walk away. One of our party said "hey, I saw that". He looked at her and walked away. Then he told our initial server about it who gave us a dirty look. He brings over the glass of wine to me, the person who didn't ask for it. And I asked for the check. He knew we were leaving because of his poor attitude.

The food has been altered to suit the Chilean palate. I ordered carne dragon, mongolian beef, and a soup. Sorry but I forgot the name. The soup was good, a mix of eggs, chicken, scallion, and rice noodle. The beef dishes not so much. Both tasted like lightly seasoned beef dishes simply boiled in their own broth. Really a poor attempt at an Chinese dish in my opinion. Prices are reasonable and the service was prompt and friendly but we will not return.
