    Pork dumplings.
    Ken G.

    Whenever I'm in a large city, I try to search out authentic Chinese food. This restaurant did not disappoint. It was amazing. I got the black pepper beef, which was tender and very delicious. Hot and-sour soup which nice and spicy. House fried rice, which was plentiful and good and pork steamed dumplings. Glasses very nice house red wine overall in an excellent experience. I enjoyed it very much. My only complaint is to bring all the food out at one time, but I dealt with it.

    Convenient and authentic. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. The inside is also clean and neat.

    Having dined at numerous Chinese and Asian restaurants around the world was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem in Roma, this restaurant has succeeded in capturing the true flavors and dishes of Chengdu, I can't see enough positive comments about their dishes well worth a visit.

    Our order

    I was not sure what came out of what I ordered; pork with red and green bell Pepper. It looked like ground pork that just came out from grinder long and skinny strip with brown sauce. The pork fried ribs my husband ordered was ok but they are cut very small and hardly any meat. We were just craving for Chinese food other than pasta and pizza. Service was okay. The owner lady was overbearing to please. I saw her switch the bowl and plate of other customer next to us how to eat her order properly She was not happy, who would be ! I am so used to authentic Chinese food here in Southern California. It okay. Very close to Termini train station on the left hand side across the street.

    Veggies. A bit too salty. Lots of garlic.

    We were really craving Chinese food after eating exclusively European food for almost two weeks, so we were thrilled to find this place that sells authentic Sichuan food (nice and spicy!). It was a little too salty, but delicious nonetheless. The owner is also very friendly. The inside of the restaurant looks newly remodeled - everything is very homey and clean, including the bathroom! Side note: if you use the Chinese version of Yelp (點評), you can get a discount voucher, which the owner will help you with if you're Chinese.

    Delicious dumplings. Sweet and sour chicken

    Delicious . I haven't had good Chinese in 7 months living in Italy. This was AMAZIIIING!!! And spicy

    Food is mediocre , not much meat and very oily. Service is subpar, expected at Chinese restaurants that is not 5 star

    Disappointing portions and slow service, would not recommend. Food/Drink: Be aware of their portions here, they're extremely small for both appetizer and main course. We got the shredded pork (which barely fed 2) and the traditional cold beef (which only had 5 slices of beef and the rest was filled with tripe). In addition to a serving of vegetables which was the most abundant out of all other dishes. Extremely disappointing and wasn't even that spicy as Chengdu dishes are supposed to be. Price: We thought it was very overpriced for the amount of food that we got in the end. Dishes range at 10-20 euros depending what you order and if you're coming in a small party it might not be worth it. Atmosphere: Even though there was a lot of tables, not everywhere had air conditioning. We were stuck into a tiny corner in the back which was super humid and had no air coming through at all except for one measle fan that a family behind us kept trying to steal. It made it super uncomfortable after a while as you wait endlessly for the food to arrive. In addition, there are a lot of international Chinese people here so the staff can be condescending if you don't speak Chinese. Tips: don't order appetizers and just go for a main entree, seems like the portions are slightly bigger so it's more worth.

    I'm from Sichuan, and have been all over the world. Typically my last meal wherever I travel, I tried to have Chinese food. Sorry my Chinese stomach needs that recovery once every week! I lived in North America for 10 years too! And I have to say, this place is phenominal! The cabbage we order is juicy, sweet, flavorful, and tasty!! Doubled cooked pork is chewy and delicious! We ordered 6 dishes and finished them all!!! Just 3 ppl!! And the owner send us a plate of fruits too! The dishes tastes like home!!!

    Great food, simple environment but the food quality is really high standard. We got the boiled fish, shredded potatoes, and water spinach. All of which were similar to that of China, very authentic. Overall a great hidden spot in the center for Rome. If you're in the area and craving Chinese food, this is the place to go!

    After a long week in Europe, I have to see that I found a hidden gem in Rome with authentic Chengdu/Sichuan food. It's super affordable and the service is amazing. Highly recommended if you want to try Sichuan food!

    The best Chinese spicy food i found in Rome. Went with my husband last week. It was very busy. We waited for a while. But I think it worth the wait.

This place was nearby the hotel we were staying at and the pictures looked so good. Well, it was very tasty, one of my favorite Chinese food, they did such a good job with all the items we ordered. Hot and sour soup - on point, we got a small one to share between the two of us, lots of ingredients and super delicious. We ordered a pork belly stew pot, fried rice, fried pork intestines with green onions, grilled beef skewers, and stir fry water grass. Everything was what you'd imagined you'd get in Asia... When we got here late evening, it was nice to see many Asian customers dining in. Definitely a really nice spot for Chinese food if you want to switch it up after many days of pastas!

    Second night to eat dinner here. But I have to tell you a funny story…read more When we entered, we asked for a table for two. The lady tried to put us at a table for two right by the front entrance. I asked her, "I'd like a table in the back please?" She turned and looked at me with the Evil Eye. Like the mother-in-law who can't stand you but puts up with you. She acquiesced and put us at a table in the back. Ordered spring rolls (2 per order) and pork shu mai (4 pieces) as appetizers. Spring rolls were vegetarian, nice and crispy with a decent amount of cabbage filling. Shu mai were good considering they tasted like the frozen variety. You need some soy sauce and chili oil for dipping. I couldn't find a shrimp dish I liked so I just went for shrimp fried rice instead of white rice. Caution, there were three whole shrimp cut in half in the dish so don't expect much shrimp in your fried rice. For dinner, I stayed with the Hot and Sour Pork and Sauteed Bean Sprouts for a veggie side dish. We tried their Rice Noodles with Beef, similar to Beef Chow Fun, but with thinner rice noodles. Again, three pieces of flank steak beef in the entire dish. Not too bad. It was tasty and not too greasy. We finished with a Lemon Sorbet. A premade frozen lemon filled with lemon sorbet capped by the lemon top. We could see the server take it from a plastic bag out of the freezer. A unique looking dessert...i liked it frozen. It was refreshing. So I return to the seating. I don't like to sit near the front door. I'm a bit superstitious and like to sit somewhere where I can watch the front door and see who walks in. This time, I got a healthy dose of side eye with my Chinese food!

They had a good variety of options with a mix of Chinese and Italian food. We got the hot and sour soup, fried rice, and pork. It was all surprisingly really good. The portions were decent and it was full of flavor. The food takes awhile to come out. We sat and ordered before a few tables and they got multiple food items before we got ours. Once they started coming out with our food, the items came out back to back which was nice. The restaurant is small/medium sized so we did see the restaurant get filled up pretty quickly. Definitely a spot to check out if you need rice haha

So we picked this place. And I kid you not... It is literally the BEST Chinese food I think we've ever eaten. I lived in Spain. And Chinese food outside of America is very different. AND my husband is "Mr. Picky McPick!" I did not take BEFORE pictures UGH! because we just whomped it down! So my pictures are if half eaten food ! Sorry! The hot and sour soup was top-notch. It was a different heat. Not white pepper like I'm used to. It was definitely chili peppers. But it was still absolutely fantastic. We got the hot and spicy fried rice, which was beyond delicious. We got their Kung pow chicken... Which was different than American Kung pao chicken... But still fantastic! And we got the sweet-and-sour chicken... Which was also different than American sweet-and-sour chicken. But I'm telling you, we ate every last drop of everything. I should've taken pictures of the empty plate. Ify thought it was within etiquette rules. I would've literally licked the plates. We've been in Europe for two weeks and this was definitely one of the top five meals we've had! If you are hankering for Chinese food and you are an American, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, I'd have to give this restaurant relatively high marks on a number of fronts. First off, they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Italian from the best that I could hear." The fact that they spoke Cantonese put me more at ease since I knew they would understand some of the dishes that I was trying to order. I do not speak Chinese but someone in our party did. Secondly, the Beef Chow Fun was pretty good and had "Ho Wok Hay" (which translates to "good taste of the wok"). Wok Hay is a slightly burnt flavor from the wok that gives a dish a high degree of flavor. Not too many restaurants have this and this is a mark of a legit Chinese restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this in Rome. We also ordered the Chicken in Picante sauce which was very tasty, and roast duck and spareribs in black bean sauce both of which were ok. We also had the house soup at the waitress' suggestion (probably because she knew we appreciated authentic Cantonese cuisine) and Chinese greens. The portions were fair and the prices not too cheap or expensive. I was just glad to get good quality Chinese (Cantonese food in Rome). The restaurant is simple and looked reasonably clean, the staff was friendly but a little hurried as they had a fair amount of takeaway orders. We will be here for a couple more days and will likely be returning.
