Brand, spanking new spot that just opened downtown, I think it opened the second week in February…read more Inside, it looks like an old pub, and they haven't done much in the way of decoration, of any sort. Until recently, it was apparently a small Peruvian restaurant, Angry Fish BA, which I'd never even heard of. I don't think I ever saw the place even open, though their Facebook page was active until last July - maybe it was only open at night.
Somewhat extensive menu, and only about 2/3 of the menu is translated from Chinese into Spanish. Why? Because the other dishes are "really traditional" or "too spicy" for Argentines to appreciate. I think these guys will need to adjust that thinking. Why not offer it and see, it doesn't take that much effort to translate the dishes - something I made the waiter do right down the line. [Edit: Revisits over time - they've redone the menu to a multi-page one with pictures, and Spanish translations for almost all the dishes. Strangely, they still reserve one page with maybe 8-9 dishes on it that they don't translate and that are much more obscure dishes - a couple of them excellent!]
Potstickers - Really well made lightly crisped dumplings. The filling, pork and chive, and a little underseasoned, though the hot sauce they brought on request was fiery and with a dash of soy sauce, was just perfect.
Spicy Pork Belly - This was one of the non-translated dishes. I mean, these days, who doesn't dive into a pork belly dish? Beautifully flavored, sweat-inducing spicy with fresh chilies throughout the dish, and just absolutely delicious blend of slightly sweet pork belly, green onion, peppers, chilies, and Chinese celery. A very happy camper was I.
[On those revisits - they have a couple of stunning, spicy chicken dishes - both a bang-on Szechuan peppercorn chicken, and in that untranslated section at the back, a fiery chicken hot pot. Prices have gone up a bit, but not significantly as of early 2018.]
And, fairly reasonable - both dishes plus a bottle of water and tip came in at 375 pesos, or $24. The place is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, which is unusual for that neighborhood, but gives a great option for those who like "real" Chinese food.
