"When you see a lot of Asians, hear Chinese spoken all around you in a Chinese restaurant, you know you’ll get authentic Chinese food! It’s rare to get good Chinese food in Germany, so if you want to try out real Chinese food and not the westernised version, then you’ve got to come here. Portions are huge and are meant to be shared so you can try different dishes! The BBQ duck was awesome. So was the hotpot (Feuertopf). Cucumber salad was also very refreshing! Staff were polite and friendly. Service was quick. Just make sure you book a spot before you come as it is very popular. Highly recommended!"

"We had dinner here and everything was delicious! I would recommend reserving in advance, because even in a weekday it gets pretty full. The jasmine tea was also very good and the staff very friendly. P.s: the Bejing soup is actually spicy, although it has 1 spiciness level sign. Some of the dishes they can also make them non-spicy."

"Together with my colleagues I had dinner there few weeks ago, did not have time to do review back then, so doing it now. I vividly remember that my colleague from China had said that the restaurant serves authentic food. I immediately asked him to plan a Saturday dinner. I went there after swimming which made me really hungry. So we ordered a lot. Good thing is that you can easily share as well. I love this sharing concept in a resraurant. We ordered two half roasted ducks and starters along a with lambribs and vegetable plate for four. The amount we ordered was more than enough and we were stuffed. I made special space in my tummy because it was a delicious meal. Specially the lambribs, atleast for me. They misplaced my mango juice but they corrected it once I asked them. The service is really polite and friendly. It's good find in Dresden for an authentic Chinese meal."

"Best Chinese food in Dresden. If you want to try some Chinese food with authentic flavour or even REAL SPICY, here's the right place for you :) Having been ordered from them for several times, the quality is always stable and good no matter take away or dine in. And it tastes like from home, that's another reason I would recommend it here."

"I love this place! It is the best place for Chinese in Dresden, try it out, you will not regret it! It’s a bit awkward to find - the sing outside is from the previous business (Mongolian grill), which creates a bit of confusion for first time visitors. But the food is crazy good! No pictures on the menu, I give you some here"
