👍 Came here for date night, and was pleasantly surprised. It’s not American Chinese, but was still good. We had the fried duck, sweet and sour shrimp, as well as a pork stir-fry, and fried shrimp. It was a lot of food for two people and we ended up taking a lot home. I liked the ambiance and decor of... People often mention restaurant, good, Chinese, Good, served, dishes, Excellent, cuisine,

    Big note - they take no credit cards and English is a problem . That aside, this very original chinese restaurant is very large, occupying a compkete vuilding, but dining is done in several room, the largest taking 30 people with motorised lazy susan on the table, so no one has to reach. They have excellent food, great service and the price is resalable. My best Chinese in Dakar.

    Service was quick. Staff/Waiter were extremely friendly. Clean environment. Perfect for kids! They have private rooms to enjoy your dinner. Portion size was a bit small but the food tasted good.

    Great Chinese in a nice atmosphere. The waiter was very kind and personable and spoke excellent French and passable English. The food was served hot and was brought out quickly. Prices are a bit higher than some restaurants in Dakar but the cleanliness of the restaurant and freshness of the dishes was worth the cost. Highly recommended.

    Omggggg! I've never had such bad tasting chinese food in my 38 years!!! We ordered: 1. Vegetable rolls - way too greased, the wrapping was not fresh and neither were the ingredients inside, felt as if I was having rubber wrapped in another layer of thin rubber! 2. sweet n sour prawns: very veryyyyyy strong taste of prawns not properly marinated, hey weren't fresh or served warm, felt as if they were already marinated and frozen and then served just fried. 3. Fried duck, their speciality: my ***, cut and served very nicely, this duck seemed to be eons old, served with the duck sauce which was equally not good. Very expensive restaurant definitely not worth going if you have had good to average chinese food, you will not like it!! The only good things there were, the green tea, rice and watermelon served at the end.

    Pretty Cosy atmosphere. I like the booth setting and I liked the lighting very much. Fairly welcoming staff. A little bit pricey but fitting in terms of quantity. I was satisfied with the taste although not mesmerized (The fried shrimps and the chicken with bittersweet sauce did leave a great impression on me however. They're steamed rice is tasty as well). The free Jasmine Tea was absolutely delightful and the waiting time is very correct. I definitely recommend it for a dinner date, alone or with company, or if you're simply curious and want to try Chinese food.

    It’s a nice restaurant, good food, however customer treatment is poor, on a Sunday night I was given a seat with my wife in a non-smoking room and a customer started smoking, I complained to the lady at the counter (looks like the owner) and waiter, we were asked to change the room instead of the smoker. They also forgot to serve us tea. I get the feeling they give priority to frequently coming customers as they did not even bother to ask the Chinese customer to stop smoking. I was not happy with the way we were treated especially as it is not a cheap restaurant.

Ambiance,100%,family friendly,cosy separate dining place for families to eat without distraction,my kids love this place and each time we visit,we have the feeling of eating a well cooked meal at the comfort of our home.

😠 Horrible service and not so good food. Waitresses are lazy and rude, and meat served is not always fresh. Quality of restaurant has dropped with new ownership as current owner focuses more on decor and marketing. Only good thing about this restaurant is the location.
