Melo Jia serves traditional tastes fused with Spanish flavors and the result is mind-blowing! We could not get enough of the eel and caviar dumpling. I had a sautéed beef noodle, and mapo tofu the first day. We loved it so much we went back the following day and tried the tasting menu with the sea bass and eggplants. It's an amazing experience you have to try if you visit Barcelona!

I came here a little bit over 1 year ago, I first went on a 1 week long cruise leaving from the…read moreport of Barcelona and then stayed at a hotel close to this restaurant. I was craving Chinese food and it wasnt easy to find, but this restaurant was luckily right around the corner. When my wife and I entered, the restaurant wasnt full, a couple tables were filled. The owner and her daughter were very welcoming and invited us in and made some recommendations. The food and service were outstanding. I came to this restaurant 2 to 3 times during my 3.5 day stay at Barcelona. I felt like this restaurant was a lifesaver because I was seriously missing some authentic Chinese food, at Milo Jia came to save the day. I would definitely come back here the next time I am in Barcelona and craving Chinese food.

This is our go-to for some authentic Chinese food and apparently it's where alot of the local…read moreChinese go as well. It's casual, quick, inexpensive, and most of the dishes we tried were really tasty. My favorite dish here is the home made noodle beef soup. The meat is very tender and it's filled with cabbage and other greens in a light but aromatic broth. The noodles are chewy and come in all different widths & sizes, evidence of being handmade. The Smashed cucumber appetizer is a mandatory side dish. It's cold, crunchy, sweet, and tangy. Ask for the chile oil and black vinegar to season it to your liking. Other dishes: Fried rice: tasty and perfectly fried. Sizzling beef: comes out really hot be cautious because the sauce will splatter. Cover with a napkin until it cools. Braised eggplant: the sauce was way too thick and the flavor was standard at best. They also have a lunch buffet with about a dozen dishes. Lots of customers chose this option. Service: what you'd expect in a Chinese restaurant. The best part? They allow my dog to sit with us during lunch. Gotta love that. Yes, we will be back again!

We had been to a food market on Les Rambles and had enjoyed great oysters at a few stalls, but we…read morewere saving ourselves for something different but didn't know what. The food market was uncomfortably packed with tourists and we contributed to this, it also had a mild sewage 3rd world whiff and at 34c it wasn't pleasant. The last time I got a pong like this was in Bangkok. I've no doubt we've also contributed to the fact that the price for food here has gone up noticeably, but not as exponentially as it will over the next few months if politicians aren't brave enough to cap energy price hikes amid obscene oil company profit scouring. Please don't hold any collective breath waiting on politicians of integrity. So we pulled out of the pongy crowded market and ambled the Rambles. Then the smell hit, pinched our noses and we were pleased. Garlic & chilli hit. And we just knew it was right on. So we followed our noses. We could see the wok master at his pyromaniac work from outside this small narrow place. A not enough room to swing a cat space. Mind you I can't think why anyone would want to treat a cat so. It was full of 20 and 30 somethings both those dining and those cooking. Intense gas heat, high flame, thin steel = little oil, rapid stir fry cooking of thin cut meats, vegetables and proper spice balance. Perfection. So the price is structured. I opted for thin noodles rather than rice, chicken as protein, cashew nuts for delicious texture, oyster mushrooms and beansprouts for taste and, of course, chilli spice. They add white onions, carrots and greens at no extra charge but I did say to go heavy on the fresh coriander at the end and they did. From start to paper carton it was a few brief minutes. €14.20 (£12.) and the serving was enough for two. 3 green stars. Wooden forks, spoons and paper tissues on site with narrow uncomfortable seating but great fresh cooked, hot tasty food. The oyster mushrooms and cashews sure pushed up the price but it was worth every cent particularly the cashews and honestly we didn't need the chicken. I noted that we passed many places offering all manner of paella - meat, fish, vegetarian but no smell not a whiff of garlic, frying onion so I avoid as I'm cynical enough to think it's pre frozen and microwaved food.

My daughter got the Bao and gyoza while my wife got the miso ramen and I got the spicy tepen noodles. I didn't take any pictures but we may have to go back to add them. My noodles were served sizzling, full of vegetables, spice and shrimp. My daughter devoured dumplings and my wife slurped most of her ramen. What a delicious place!

It wasn't bad but it lacked heat and acid. The Massmann Curry was okay. Just okay. The curry sauce was a bit too watery for me. That said, it was Christmas, in Barcelona, and there weren't a lot of options for me because I didn't make early reservations and I couldn't get into the more popular places. The service was good but lacked attention. Our waitress was almost always doing something else. There were only three tables occupied so I expected better. I feel like Scrooge leaving this message on Christmas but I want to be honest with reviews. Would I go back, yes. If I find myself out of options.

Not sure if there was a special occasion this night but I noticed the crowd was much classier and older than the other night clubs. Only downside is the venue is VERY small and tight.

I opted for the shrimp, the vegetables in homemade broth, and the vegetable gyozas, as well as the red bean mochi and a bottle of water. Everything was delicious!
