"Was craving Chinese food after 5 days of heavy Italian food. Found this spot on Google maps and WOW. Very impressed at the variety, authenticity, and value here. Lots of mainland Chinese patrons here so you know it’s legit. The spicy/Sichuan part of the menu is especially awesome."

"Favourite Chinese Restaurant in town!! Pretty sure it is not for everyone tho. If you are someone who can’t handle savoury/spicy food of authentic Chinese food, you might want to consider again. BUT, if you like spicy food or want to experience the authentic feeling, I don’t think there is any other Chinese restaurant you should go for in Padova other than this. (I have dined in more than 10 times, the server can be a little be ignorant at times but the quality of food justifies it!!!)"

"Brilliant authentic Chinese dishes (skip to the Sichuan section of the menu and beyond). Best Chinese food I've had since China (and I have tried and searched long and hard across Europe!). The tastes and smells transported us back to China for an evening. In particular, I've been desperate to find a good braised eggplant (红烧茄子) after years of searching for this (my favourite dish) done well in Europe - try it out if you haven't before!"

"Underrated place! The food here is really good, authentic and cheap. This is my go to place for a chinese food, because they have a lot of options for a very cheap price and the quality is good. We paid like less than 15€ per person and we ate a lot! The only downside is the service because some waiter cannot speak italian or english and the place doesn’t look fancy, but I think that’s what makes this place authentic. You can always find a parking space outside the restaurant as well. All of my friends I brought here loved the place! Higly recommended!"
