I'm a Chinese, have been eating Chinese food since young. Totally don't understand how this Chinese restaurant actually got rated 4.4 stars. Ordered 5 dishes in total. The Fried noodles & fried rice are way too salty & oily. Lemon chicken felt like only eating Chicken skin, their pan fried dumpling skin are too thick and burnt at the bottom. Peking duck, suppose to be roasted, yet it is fried, & tasted more like chicken than duck. & lastly, waitress is rude. Seriously too disappointing.

In general, the meal is okay. The portion size is large, thus, it is quite nice for people who are starving. I order fried noodles with pork, and the flavor is nice, but it will become a little bit greasy afterward. However, with a drink, you can get rid of it.

Very classical chinese food at modest price. We were searching for authentic Chinese food, and this small place exceeds any expectation we had. The service ladys are also very freindly and patient. In middle of the dinner, I already decided to give five stars to this restaurant.

We used to go there all the time the people were so kind to us so welcoming and the food was delicious!!! ;)

Great and lovely food. We had to travel from morges to Lausanne and stopped at this place which is closeby the train station. Absolutely delicious food and the customer service was great. We bought the spicy lamb pot, spicy beef and the dumplings with fried rice. Everything was excellent, little oily but can't beat the taste. Most of the customer chose to sit outside and enjoy the food. Highly recommend and definitely a place if you traveling through Lausanne

Family run the restaurant. Huge portions maybe even a little too much and really cheap price. It was recommended to us by friends who know the city very well. Tasty food. If you eat outside there is a problem of darkness as there is no lighting. Acceptable service: family a bit chaotic, a waiter wanted to water the plants and accidentally even wet a customer. Payment only with cash, but with the receipt.

I have been to this place once, about 6 months ago. You could smell the burned oil, and see the smoke inside the restaurant at times. We sat at a very bad table because we didn’t have reservations ! While looking at their menu, a guy came out of their kitchen he was wearing a top, with multiple bracelets on his arms and no cap on his head. A he opened the door, you could see the flush of smoke out of the kitchen. Wearing bracelet without proper closing should not be accepted in any kitchen in any country. We ordered 2 dish+an appetizer+2bowls of rice (I was invited on a friend’s treat, so I didn’t want to appear rude). When they served the aubergine dish, it was soaked in oil. There was basically no water. Given the quality of the oil, the temperature at which they were using it (heated to smoking point) I didn’t touch it. The remaining dishes I don’t remember, but I clearly remember the rice bowls being extremely hot while the rice inside was cold! And in the middle you could find the coldest rice which is very telling: the rice is old and heated up in microwave. After the meal was over, we had a plan for going to cinema, but the quality of the serving was so bad, that we spent from 8-11 pm walking around the city. Then, we bought gaseaous water which somehow helped to calm down the stomach and lowers the side effects of a bad food. Both agreed it was a place where you pay for money to get cancer on the long run (only if you are lucky, else you will suffer side effects like us). To be honest there were many people which made me wish people were more supportive of good food (taste+health factors+optimized price for quality) rather than a cheap food that harms one’s health and is not even tasty!

Genuinely horrid food. Walked in thinking this will be a good option (closer to my hotel) based on the ratings on Maps. But it was nothing short of disappointing on all levels. Dumplings were tasteless with shrimps smelling like bleach. Chicken dish was so salty that I had to leave it less than half finished - and I hate leaving food unfinished. Service was dismal and quite frankly they didn't seem to care when I mentioned that the dish was extremely salty while I was paying up. Terrible experience in general. I'd rather walk across the street and grab a Subway sandwich.

What a great find! From the soups to the entree, our food was full of flavor! The won-ton soup has a marvelous base that we had not had anywhere else, and the hot and sour soup was full of mushrooms and fresh vegetables. Try the chicken with basil! We will visit this restaurant again!

Absolutely delicious and authentic Sichuan food. So glad to finally find a spot in Switzerland with traditional food with big portions and good prices. Service is lovely and make sure to bring cash as they don’t take card.

Oh what a lovely experience at Chez Xu! The food was delicious, and served in generous portions. The service was quick despite the number of patrons. The atmosphere is also great: simple, authentic, sincere are the adjectives that describe this wonderful restaurant. I will certainly return, and recommend it to friends.

A little disappointing. Had the roast duck and it was very average with lots of plum sauce on the dish. The Sui Mai was probably the better part of what was ordered. Plating was basic. Touch pricey for what you get.

A very disappointing Crispy Duck. Very dry and tasteless pieces of duck battered and fried in a deep fat fryer. The worst Chinese of my life. Even the vegetable rice was completely tasteless.

One of the best value for money Chinese restaurant in town

I've been coming here for years. It's one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Lausanne. Excellent service, easy access (from Lausanne station), big portions and delicious food

Excellent food, very nice ambiance, the staff is lovely and hard working, the prices are reasonable, I couldn't recommend more! Bonus: the staff speaks good French, despite the fact that's it's hard to learn from a Chinese background. 大家辛苦了！

Like their Peiking roasted Duck. The portions are big so the owner is very generous and friendly. 4 stars because the fried rice is oily. Recommended if you want Chinese food with a reasonable price.

Posting several years later but I ate here regularly when I lived in Lausanne and loved it. I got to dine at Chez Xu again after I lived in China for a few years and still found the food to be delicious and authentic.

Nice staff/good service. Food okay. However for a plain fried rice (a rice to accompany our main dish of beef) was 15 Swiss Francs! I cant believe anywhere would charge this amount 16 euros!!!! For a plate of rice. UNREAL

We had the frog legs and the duck. They pretty tasty but the pancakes that camewith the duck was a bit meh (like rough and felt like it was microwaved). The service was great and the staff were very nice. Will definitely come back.

September 2021. We had dinner at this super packed eatery. Conclusion, it is worth the wait. Loving it.

Always a good quality/price. The food came in big portion and it was delicious. Be careful about the payment as they don't except cards, cash only. So make sure you have enough cash with you. In the worst case, there are ATMs at the train station close-by.

The best crispy beef I have ever had,hands down. The spicy lamb is amazing also. Some locals rate it's food as among the best Chinese food you can get there and it's easy to see why.

This is not a place to go for a date....but the food... takes you on an absolutely food trip to Sichuan China's region with authentic,delicious, BIG portions. Can't wait to go back.
