    Chinese food lovers can try this place. It’s located near Bambalapitiya. Tasty food available there. Vegetarian options are available. Mock duck , mushrooms fried rice , bean curd, stir fry vegetables chilli paste etc are available. Quick service is there and friendly staff. The Chinese tea is a good and healthy drink to have it along with the meal. I would suggest this place for a Chinese meal lover. The problem is they close the kitchen at 2.45pm but the map says 3pm. When u go after 2.45 you must give a call before you go there. Otherwise they won’t be able to prepare the food.

    Nice restaurant that specializes in Chinese cuisine. Interior is specious and well lit. They have a wide variety of items in their menu, priced at reasonable rates. They also serve alcohol beverages. Staff is attentive and provides an efficient service. Plenty of parking space available within premises. Undoubtedly one of the best Chinese restaurants in Colombo.

    A Chinese restaurant. Great for family dining & for meet ups. Single meals are enough for two people,if you can't finish it they offer to parcel the rest of the food so you can take it home. They have alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks. Best for large family's.

    Restaurant atmosphere is good, about today's meal - hot garlic sauce with medium prawns, egg omelette with chicken/crab and fried rice with shredded chicken are delicious. But the chef's special recommendations - fried cuttlefish is horrible and the service didn't meet our expected level !

    Xilaton, is a unique and unexpected name for a Chinese restaurant. There is no eye catching decor, just simple tables in an ordinary surrounding. However, the food is the main attraction here and it is good. For appetizers we had egg rolls, buttered mushrooms and battered shrimp. All of it superb. For the mains, Groupa in black bean sauce, a spicy chicken item and bean curds in a sauce. Every dish was well prepared to impart taste and texture. Vegetable fried rice and vegetable noodles also came to the table. Both of these were fantastic, in their own right. For dessert, some had lychee or ice cream only. I had to have one of my all time Sri Lankan favorites - fresh fruit salad with vanilla ice cream (heavenly).

    The food is really great and was served very fast. The place could do with a makeover 😀 atmosphere is a bit dull. Staff was really friendly. Recommend this place ✨

  • 4/5 Praveen De S. 3 years ago on Google
    Well this used to be one of the most famed and luxurious Chinese restaurants.. With great interior..as in the case of many other famed Chinese restaurants Xilaton seem to have fallen apart.. Especially when it comes to interior.. The good and service remained of good standard.. There is a bar where so u can purchase alcohol.. Also there is ample parking available.. The Hot Butter Cuttle Fish was a little dry and not upto par..other food was OK..

    Ordered some fried rice dishes through Uber Eats. Quantity wise great. Taste wise good. Not much sea food in Sea Food fried rice. Not much chicken in Shredded chicken fried rice. Packaging not bad. Price wise not cheap.

    This restaurant has seen better days. And the value for money is quite absent.

  • 5/5 Suganthi D. 2 years ago on Google
    Environmental is claim and quite. Best for family & business meetings. Actually we can have good actual Chinese foods here under fare price. Foods are grate and lots of items to be select.

  • 5/5 Avijja F. 11 months ago on Google
    Went back after a long time, and the food is as good as I remember it. Super service and big portion sizes as well! A must visit.

  • 3/5 Sanjiva G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food but disappointing service from directing me twice to wrong private dining rooms to badly maintained toilets and unsightly wires hanging around. The food service staff were very good though and we as a group of guests had a lovely time. Just eexpected more from the restaurant itself in such a distinguished address.

    Okay so if you haven't gone to Xilaton in 8-9 years, you haven’t missed a thing because it still looks the same. I wish if they could change the interior bit? To make it more lively. About the food, small portion size is easily enough for 3 people. I really liked the shredded chicken fried rice, hot butter cuttlefish(amazing) and the kung pao chicken dishes. However, sizzling pork we ordered was not exactly sizzling and it lacked the flavour. We had a friendly service and it was quite fast as well.

  • 5/5 Bharath K. 5 years ago on Google
    Good place to dine. Calm and well lit. Spacious tables and chairs. Nice Chinese menu and good taste. Nice place to have a business lunch with Customer or with family. Quick and fast service. Have option of small or large plate. The Small plate option is sufficient for single person. You can share 2 dishes small plates among 2members comfortably. Ample parking. Overall good feeling and nice tasty food.

    Great place to have a dinner with friends and family. Delicious food with good portions. Comes around 3000 per person for an average meal. Nice place to have a chat.

  • 4/5 Prassana L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasting food. Slightly falling to the expensive side. Fried rice, hot butter cuttlefish and seafood Tom yum soup are my favourites. My 7 year old daughter is obsessed with their fried rice 🍚

    Good chinese resturant with enough privacy. Portion sizes were standard and food quality and taste also good

  • 1/5 Charitha De S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had been to Xialton several times but I had never experienced such a horrible meal. We ordered vegetable fried rice, hot butter mushrooms and hot garlic fish. Everything was so salty that we had to re order the mushrooms again. However it was still salty. This kind of experience I had never got in a restaurant ever. Unless this is rectified, I will never visit again.

    One of the worst Chinese restaurants I'm Colombo. Very bad customer service and oily food.

  • 5/5 Devin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the most delicious fried rice I’ve ever tried!

  • 4/5 Christopher K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was very tasty. Service was good. But I think the prices were misleading. It gave the price per 100g and not the full price. But other than that, I was satisfied with my experience at this restaurant and I recommend it to anyone who likes Chinese food.

    This is a long overdue post. They serve 'MAGGIE NOODLES' as Singaporean noodles! They ruined our Christmas lunch! Poor service, never again going to this place.
