    At here on vacation in Italy . The food was good for its price.Overall not bad but not great , there are a lot of nice restaurants in this area.

    Craving for some Asian food after eating Italian food for a few days and this restaurant happened to be down the block from our hotel. Didn't know what to expect but when I saw some Korean food on the menu I was like uh-oh is it kinda like Pan-Asian restaurant? Nonetheless, we ordered a few very classic Chinese dishes including Kung Pao chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Stir Fry String beans, etc. and they were quite different than what we expected. The ingredients they used were a bit different than what we're used to. The taste wasn't bad but not good neither. Good enough to fill our stomach. But it doesn't seem like there are that many Chinese restaurants in Rome so I guess this one will do if you're craving for Chinese food during your trip here.

    We needed a break from pasta & pizza so we decided to give this place a try. Judging by the prices I figured the portions would be small to medium and I was right so we ordered several dishes. (2) orders of Shrimp dumplings (1) Steamed Branzino -whole fish, (1) Salt & pepper shrimp, (1) Roasted pork and (1) Baby Bok Choy. Everything was fresh and delicious! Our server was very nice and attentive. Will definitely be back!

    Hot and sour soup , beef lo mein , sweet and sour chicken, vegetable fried rice , beef with broccoli

    Delicious food when you need a break from pizza and pasta. Soup , chicken , beef were delicious, service was quick and friendly.

    This is the closest walking distance from our hotel. It's a good choice. We miss our Chinese food especially vegetables. We finished everything ordered, that's great!

    I had a meal here in the fall of 2019. I really didn't plan on eating Chinese food on my Rome trip, but smelling the food cooking every time a walked by (was close to my hotel), so I had to try it. The decor and ambiance was like any other Asian restaurant back in the states. Very casual. I didn't order anything brave, just potstickers and sweet and sour chicken noodles. Both were fresh and very good tasting, I especially liked the noodles and the entree was well portioned. Decent price too. 5 stars for my meal. I would recommend it any day. I did notice many locals there, so that's a good indicator. Will pop in there again the next time I'm in Rome.

    After eating lots of yummy Italian food, we were in the mood for something different. Took out my Yelp app and found this Chinese restaurant not too far from our hotel. Ordered some food to go, so we could chill and eat at our hotel. Service was quick and friendly. The food was good. I appreciate that it wasn't overly greasy or salty. Other than that, not a whole lot stood out. I'm glad we got to try this place out and it was a convenient option to have on hand.

    We stopped here when the restaurant we wanted to go to had a long wait. We were extremely hungry and tired and this place was next door. I ordered the sweet and sour soup, an entree and fried rice all a la cart. Now I guess we got tired of eating Italian foods after being in Rome a week and wanted to try something different. There wasn't any wait and like I sad we were tired after being on an excursion all day. I say that to say this meal filled us up but left much to be desired. Maybe we are use to Americanized Chinese food or maybe it just wasn't good, I can't say for sure which it is but if back in Rome I'm pretty sure we will not be going back here. We left a lot of food on the table.

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!

    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!

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

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!

    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.
