Mine arrived in about 10 minutes. After another 10 minutes, our waiter informed us that they were out of one of the ingredients for my wife's Paloma. After another 10 minutes they brought her the same drink as mine. The waiters were very nice, but clueless. A far cry from service we've experienced elsewhere. Summary: if you want Chinese food in Oaxaca, this may be your best shot. Just be prepared to be there for a while.

I read the reviews on this place and thought I'd give it a try. The guy who said it was as good as…read morehe had in San Francisco? Seriously? I am from the Bay Area and could not disagree more. I ordered Kung Pao chicken. It was at least edible .. it was chicken, peanuts and poblano chili.... No carrots, no celery.... Did not taste at all like I know this dish is supposed to taste. But it was ok. I also ordered the pot stickers. The pork tasted rancid. I did not eat them. I mentioned this to the waitress but she left them on my bill. This completely substandard meal cost $410 pesos which makes it the most expensive and not worth it meal I have had during my month in Mexico....just don't.

I stopped in a little past 2 PM on Sunday, August 3rd and decided to go with the buffet. I was…read moregreeted immediately upon entering, and I was given my choice of tables. I picked my table in the larger of two seating areas. The place was pretty busy and there was a little boy, whom I assume was family to someone working there. He was scurrying around the entrance and was quite loud, but not a big deal for me. The restaurant was rather plainly furnished with sparse decorations. I asked for the one free water that came with the buffet. The water actually tasted like lemonade, which I liked, but it wasn't just water. The buffet wasn't huge, but afforded many choices. I tried a little bit of almost everything available. I made two trips to the buffet, and certainly got my money's worth. My two opinions on the food were that many dishes were too salty, and nothing tasted fresh. None of the many items I tried wowed me. It was all just okay. I definitely take into account that I was eating from a buffet, along with the timing of my visit may have impacted the quality of many dishes. The trade off was the price, which was 175 pesos. The exchange rate on that day equated to $9.28 USD, which is a great value. I will likely return because of the price and hope for some fresher flavors.

It had good reviews though so I was hoping that I would be pleasantly surprised! On the plus side - the buffet is $150 pesos; very reasonable with a drink included. Food is horrible to my palate. Maybe better to Mexicans' expectations of Chinese food but I hated what I tried. I did like the beef and broccoli as well as the orange chicken(??) and egg rolls. Would not recommend.
