We fancied Chinese food for dinner and Casa Lafu was a place I had researched in advance and…read morethought good which was also near Gran Via where we were staying. The restaurant interior is very attractively decorated, with window tables overlooking the city too. The menu is clearly aiming to be a higher quality place with a broad but smaller selection of dishes than the basic Chinese place, and somewhat higher prices, though not expensive. The food quality was very good generally. Most of our dishes were very while one was a bit disappointing. We really enjoyed the food. Service on the way in was prompt - we ordered quickly and food was soon arriving. But then when we were trying to leave, it took ages for anyone to visit our table. Eventually I had to go searching for staff, but we were at the far end of an upper floor and it seemed like there were almost no staff and those who turned up didn't even look our way. It took well over half an hour for us to leave after we were done. Would have been 4* if not for terrible service on departure.

I picked this restaurant based on the reviews I had read in international travel magazines. It…read morelooks like it's a hit-or-miss establishment in terms of experience. The decor is lovely, though the bathrooms leave something to be desired and it seems like it all needs a bit of upkeep. I have no issues with hole-in-the wall establishments with amazing food, but this is not that - and not what it is portrayed as or seems to aspire to be. Even though we were speaking Spanish, the staff was incredibly rude. We requested a cocktail menu, we were told there were no cocktails, only wine - and were then provided with a wine list for only full bottles. I then saw other patrons consuming beer and had to ask if we could please have a beer. Why on earth the server could not have responded with "we have wine and beer, here are the options" I do not know. Each time we tried to order, the server was abrupt and appeared agitated. It felt like we were doing something wrong and it set the tone for a terrible evening. I was shaking with fear each time I had to interact with the server. It led to an anxiety-riddled experience as I was unable to enjoy the food at all. We were even told at one point that we were ordering too much food. I was desperate to try to get something that would be good. The food was OK to mediocre at best. I eat Szechuan cuisine regularly and I was profoundly disappointed. The dumplings and dim sum items are fine. The meat served on a sizzling skillet was OK, but it is literally just that. The Mapo tofu was akin to something that would be thrown together by a novice with no authentic training in the kitchen - completely lacking in flavor and seemed to be made in less than 5 minutes. I use this dish as a barometer - and this place fell well below benchmark expectations. This was far from gourmet cuisine of any kind or even the flavor experience of a hole-in-the wall establishment. Other patrons appeared to be treated far better, which I don't quite understand - perhaps they had bigger tables and the staff assumed it was more worth it. We had a reservation and we were on-time. We were patient and respectful. I would have paid well over $200 for a quality meal on my last night in Madrid, and I sorely regret that I picked this establishment.

I ordered: 1. beef with veggies spicy : very delicious !! 2. Thin glass noodles with veggies: good 3. Green beans with a specific spice: I did not like this dish 4: dumplings : good I would recommend this place to anyone interested in trying Chinese food in a low key spot. Also- the menu is very confusing. The only reason I know what to order was because I googled images of the food. Maybe they could take time to redesign the menu in the future to make it easier for people to pick dishes.

From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch; the staff was attentive, professional, and incredibly welcoming. Regarding the cuisine, the ingredients were undeniably fresh and of high quality. However, the sushi was quite different from what I am accustomed to back in the States. It may simply be a difference in regional palates or preparation styles, but it wasn't quite what I recognized or expected based on my previous experiences with these dishes. That being said, I really can't complain about the hospitality. When I mentioned that the flavors weren't for me, the team was incredibly "cool" about it and handled the situation with the utmost respect. While the food didn't personally hit the mark, the stellar service and fresh ingredients make it worth a visit for others.
