So as the previous reviewers have noted, the interior of this place is pretty fancy. Definitely comparable to fancy Chinese restaurants back in Asia, though nothing like what I've seen in the States. There's a freaking aquarium in the place, though no, that's not where you get your seafood from. (I've been at places where we're allowed to pick the fish we want for dinner, so this isn't me making some offhand remark.)
I would say the food here is hit or miss - and I don't mean the quality varies, but rather that what you pick matters. To get the "authentic" experience, you need to order what Chinese people would actually order, otherwise you're stuck with the Swiss-ified Chinese food (I ended up with that the first time I went to this place, though I don't remember what it was that I ordered anymore). The bee hoon (I believe it's called the Chinese noodles on the menu - in German, "Chinesische-Nudeln gebraten") - pretty much the only thing my mom will order here - is pretty good, though extremely oily - maybe that's what makes it taste so good. The veggies are crunchy and delicious and gives the impression of the dish being healthier than it is, but let's not talk about wishful thinking for now.
What I have to rave about, however, is the sweet and sour pork. I cannot tell you how many times in the States and in Europe I've seen people order something sweet and sour, but the meat is NEVER cooked right. Proper sweet and sour pork is crunchy - you do not throw un-battered slices of pork into sweet and sour sauce and call it "sweet and sour pork" - this is the wrong way to do it, and also, it's horrible. This place does it right, because the pork is fried with a crispy batter, and then doused with sweet and sour sauce. The addition of bell peppers to the sauce is still very American/European, but that's not a big deal.
The couple of times I've been here, I've found the service to be quite friendly. Your meal is kept warm by plate warmers. It's a nice touch, really. read more
