Great Chinese food with a diverse menu; an unexpected find in Valencia.
I've eaten here three times now over the course of two trips to Valencia. The menu is fairly diverse with foods ranging from the standard dim sum dishes to rice dishes to noodle dishes to various meat dishes. Of the Chinese restaurants I've had in Valencia (limited to maybe four places), this one has the most authentic food. I usually do a blend of one of their pre fixe dim sum menus (three items for about 12 euro) with a rice dish (somewhere between 7 - 12 euro). They also offer two full pre fixe menus, one smaller one around 16 euro and one (which looks much nicer) for 23 euro, but requires two attendees (I'm on business so I haven't had the company to try this out).
The venue is nice, there's a great interior with a flowing koi pond. The decorations are pretty nice and definitely better decorated than all the other Chinese venues in the area.
Other things to note... so I've been mistaken as a non-customer twice now (they thought I was there looking for a staff member) -- I guess the curse of being Chinese, looking young, and dropping by a Chinese restaurant earlier than most Spaniards eat. On that note... the door may say 8:30, but I've never gotten in that early. Give yourself a 15 minute cushion and go at 8:45... the doors might not be open and you'll find yourself loitering outside like me.
Overall, THE place to go for Chinese food in Valencia (and I'll let you know if that changes -- while I'm here). read more
