Reviews
Absolutely amazing Chinese food. Every dish had us in awe, tasted super authentic and unlike anything else you find here. Highly recommend the soft aubergine with shredded pork. Staff were also very friendly with great service. Clean and modern interior.
The food is tasty and spicy (chicken and pork), exactly how I like it. Sad that it was cold (springrolls) and a bit too greasy (noodles).
We had really delicious aubergine and tofu, the restaurant is one of the best in Helsinki like always, and it is extremely well-ventilated (with CO2s at a non-crowded time under 500 ppm).
This restaurant is entitled to be the best Chinese restaurant outside China. I would agree! The food is indeed wonderful and delicious. Its atmosphere is authentic. If you don't look outside the window where the historical Helsinki greets...
