    I would have given 4 stars for the food, pretty much, not bad, nothing special. While entering they asked us in english if we are students. We stayed yes (because we are) and then we got a student card (starter+meal+salat+ dessert). After ordering and after we got the starter, they wanted to see out student id's. We showed her our German student id's and she said no, Slowenien student id and just went away without saying anything more. After that, we got our meal but no salad and no dessert and we had to pay extra for the starter (witch we wouldn't have ordered if they were not included for students). That was quite disappointing, especially because we spoke English, and had big traveling backpacks with us and she didn't tould us before even if we were obviously not slowenian. We just left with a bad feeling, even if the food wasn't bad.

    As a student one of my favorite restaurants in Ljubljana. Affordable, tasty food, and all you can eat buffet available. Truly love the place.

    The service was adequate, but not exceptional. The taste of the food is average. The only difference is that if you use studentski boni, you can eat as much as you want from 10 a.m. to 1600 p.m.

    The food comes out very quickly. There are no spicy dishes, and it is not quite the Chinese food that I had before (since the usual Chinese restaurants aren’t Shanghai style). Nevertheless it was great value for money!

    This is not an authentic Shanghainese restaurant, rather offering the typical Cantonese style cheap Chinese takeaway experience - still worthwhile trying if you’re in Ljubljana and desperate for Chinese food given lack of any obviously better alternatives. We had hot and sour soup (excellent), white rice (excellent) and two stir fries (ok and reason for my earlier comment). The stir fries were 1) mixed veggies and 2) gong bao calamari. The two dishes (and indeed pretty much the whole menu of stir fried dishes from what we saw and understood from the waitress) taste pretty much the same - they come smothered with the same sauce, give or take minor tweaks. In particular the gong bao calamari was disappointing because it wasn’t a real gong bao dish - it had no sweetness and just none of the usual taste. Despite these factors I did enjoy our meal, service was quick and pricing was reasonable (we paid about 22 eur for everything) for quite generous portions so a solid 4 stars.

    The food was a little bit unsalted, but it was tasty nevertheless. The staff was polite and nice.

    The food is rather good, had tried better Chinese, but I was quite satisfied here. You also won't leave hungry. The staff is ok sometimes they have trouble understanding you tho. All in all a great place.

    It makes me happy <3 The staff is kind and quick. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It's especially affordable with student discounts - all you can eat is 4.7€ for students and gets you all filled up

  • 5/5 Dmitrii D. 1 year ago on Google
    good quality restaurant in the center of Ljubljana. the service is ordinary not intrusive, the staff speaks english and slovenian. everything is fast, without delays or misunderstandings. tasty and big portions. parking is expensive, in the mall. Spicy dishes do not frighten Europeans with spiciness, it is soft.

    Below average food, snappy staff, all in all, not a vibe.

    Great asian restaurant, friendly service and enough food! We were first skeptical walking over to the restaurant since the buildings looked run down and a bit dirty. We took an outside seat and to our surprise the atmosphere was quite comfortable and tranquil since it was in a quite area of the neighborhood , perfect for my kids and a peace of mind for parents.Food was okay, we liked the dumplings, mongolian beef.. my kids liked the sweet sauced pork and fried rice and the portions were very generous.

    Went here a couple times while visiting the city. Solid Chinese food at decent prices. The hot and sour soup is as good as I’ve had anywhere. Service quality is mixed - one of the servers is quite rude and another is very friendly so just depends on who you get.

    Good asian reestaurant, which deserves to be visited, especially during the lunch time from 11-16 o clock, where a All you can Eat buffet is served. The quality of the dishes is good and there is a high number of different dishes, including soup, salad, Sushi, Spring Rolls, rice dishes, noodles and even desserts. A good oprion for an empty stomach. Also the dishes from the regular menu are good and the portions relatively big. Good asian restaurant with a good menu for lunch and dinner.

👍👍 Very good burgers, one of the best in Slovenia. Also chicken wings were great. House beer was OK. Prices are very expensive, burger was 12,9€ and beer 4,9€. These are 30% higher rates then usual Slovenian burger places, but I suppose they can keep it due to location in city center. Stuff is very fri...
