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!

No worries as I ended up having both of them. The round was up to 6 choices for their menu and I got poke and shumai next. The fish was not high quality but what do you expect for a 6 course unlimited. I had a couple of noodle dishes and put up the white flag. They packed the noodle dish for me. I had a pot of tea. It was all solid but nothing outstanding. Maybe the higher end items in their menu are better? Service was helpful and they have iPads on all the tables to order. You can order another round after 10 minutes. If you're hungry and bring a group, would be the place to throw down.

Wow!! This place hit the spot! After having Italian food 2 weeks, we were craving for Sichuan…read moreChinese Food... Back in San Diego, California we eat out 7 days a week and usually rotate between Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese, so we know a thing or two about Asian food. This Chinese restaurant actually is up on the list and if we live in Rome, we would make this place one of our regular go to restaurants. Food was very flavorful, and spicy level was perfect. I can only handle mildly spice level, it was like they know exactly the amount of spice when I requested for 微辣. It's not a fancy place, but slightly better then the hole in the wall kind of a place. If you don't care for the decor but care for the food then this is the place to come.

Decent authentic Sichuan food is such a treasure at Rome…read more We found this place when walking to the metro station. Very happy to change our taste buds from Pasta to spicy boiled fish fillet. Also tried fired rice, soft tofu, spicy chicken, and stir fired veggies. All right on the mark of the flavor. Will try this chain at Milan as well.

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!

We needed a break from Italian food and saw this restaurant near our hotel. We came here for lunch…read moreand we were seated right away. 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

OK... Let me start by saying that the thought of eating Chinese food on my trip to Italy was…read moreliterally the last thing on my mind! But my husband is a creature of habit! 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!

For the food, I will rate this restaurant a 5. I ordered bang-silos: fried rice topped with over easy egg and seasoned fish, pansit, halo-halo and lumpia or egg rolls. Everything was delicious! Authentically Filipino! The prices are cheap and very affordable. For the lack of air conditioner I will have to rate the restaurant a 4. They have fans going on, but with the heat during that time, I cannot enjoy my food. I highly recommend this place, and I'm sure once the weather is not too hot, it's a pleasant place to be.

I searched for "Best Cantonese food in Rome" and Grand Dragon topped the list. I agree with all of…read morethe 5 star reviews so far. 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.
