    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.

    Look, I didn't come all the way to Rome expecting to have one of the best sushi meals I've had in…read moreyears--but Sushisen absolutely delivered. We grabbed seats at the rotating bar (kaiten style), and let me just say that if you're someone who loves watching food go by like it's an edible runway show, this is your jam. Plate after plate of beautifully crafted nigiri, maki, and fresh bites just glide past you, and you can take whatever catches your eye. It's a low-pressure, high-satisfaction way to eat. Nothing felt mass-produced--everything tasted carefully made, with that clean, precise flavor you hope for in sushi. Our favorites were the salmon belly nigiri, which was buttery and rich without being overwhelming. The shrimp tempura roll had the perfect crunch-to-soft-rice ratio. And the spicy tuna had just enough kick to keep it interesting without trying too hard. Even the wasabi felt dialed in--not a sinus assault, just a smart accent. And whoever's in charge of plating back there clearly respects the artform. These plates aren't just tasty--they're a little bit elegant. The interior manages to feel sleek and modern while still being cozy. And since we were seated at the counter we got to watch the chefs at work which was a true highlight. Quiet craftsmanship, no fuss, just focus and intention. Staff were kind and helpful, and while I didn't sample the sake or wine (for religious reasons), the servers never made it weird. Just warm, professional hospitality all around. Pro tip: Sit at the bar, go with an open mind, and trust your eyes. If it looks good, it is good. And maybe skip breakfast--you'll want room for more plates than you think.

We figured it was an answer to our rice issue and off we went in search of rice and sushi. Food: they offer an unlimited option for lunch and dinner and have a big list to choose from. There is also an a la carte menu. We chose to go with the unlimited and were satisfied with our pickings. We ordered: Sushi: Tamago Dragon roll Salmon roll The sushi was good, rice was cooked well. Other entrees: Fried rice Katsudon Pork cutlet Fried chicken cutlet Ebi tempura Tom kha soup Everything tasted good with the exception of the tom kha soup. Appearance wise, the coconut milk was real bubbly and taste wise, something was off. after one sip, we figured it would be safe not to eat it in fear of bubble guts. All in all, we would visit again if the rice craving hits. It's a decent price, food is made to order and the staff are nice. They make it a point to let you know that whatever food is left over, they may charge you extra, so order wisely! Location: its a 5 minute walk from the Termini station.

Highly unprofessional. When her friends came in, like a school girl jumping up/down. The way she explain how to operate the machine was confusing. She didn't offer a printed menu, we had to ask for it. She wasn't as helpful as expected. The Food needs much improvements as it Fried Chicken was dry and tasteless...this indicated it was frozen and not fresh. She erved rice way before the food came, it ended up cold. Ramen Noodles, egg on top was well done, 2 sliver pc of meat taste like leather, 1pc of seaweed and green onions, only thing that taste good was the broth. The Teriyaki salmon on the stick must've been frozen fish...dried and tasteless, had it not been for the sauce, this would've been a turn off. While paying...not one thank you or a smile. This whole experience was a joke and not worthy of a repeat in business. I wouldn't even rate anything, but I'll give it 1 star to post this and hopefully that no one else have to go thru this uneventful experienced

    November 9th, 2024 8:45PM…read more Wow, if it's good enough for Zhang Ziyi, it's good enough for me. After a week in Florence, our first meal back in Rome was definitely feeling rice-y. 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!
