    We just had the most delicious dinner with excellent service. Oranjestad, Aruba has a hidden gem a few blocks from the main street. Roderick provided his expertise in answering our questions about the extensive and unique Chinese menu. A must go- to place for fine dining in a comfortable atmosphere!

    Thank you Google for pulling this place up. Not in the best area but amazing food, clean facilities and good service. We saw lots of locals eating here. Great food.

    I had the stir fried conch. It was quite delicious but the portion was rather small and so it's expensive for what you get. Nice atmosphere inside.

  • 2/5 Arthur L. 2 months ago on Google • 166 reviews New
    Not my first time here. However this time for take out. Mind you, I’m changing my last review to BAD because of this experience. This restaurant is known for its good food but also also known for being expensive. Talk about expensive, I just paid for take out fries with my food that costed me almost 80 fls, which is about $45. With this food I ordered an order of fries that costed me 6.75 fls ($3.85). In my car I couldn’t find the fries, I went back telling them. However the Asian cook came telling from the kitchen that he packed the food and that the fries were packed. I order two of their combination meals which came with eggroll, they packed the two eggrolls in one tiny box and their order of fries was the same box like the one of two eggrolls. I couldn’t believe my eyes! Its not ONLY about the abuse of amount of food but also the arrogance of the cook. One thing is for sure (my partner will keep asking me to buy food there) i will rather fry my partners fries than order here. Such an abuse! Don’t let me start on their drink prices, their home made fruit punch is more expensive than local beers out there! Same on the owners

    Best chinese restaurant on the island with a local touch. Excellent service by our locals.

  • 5/5 Magaly T. 8 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    This is the best Chinese restaurant in Aruba. I love the cantonese steak, the self made pika, the Michaelchino 😁😁😁 the self made capccino. Delicious for a great price. They don’t charge service charge. About awg 50 florín per person you can eat and drink. That is less than $30.

  • 1/5 Malari W. 4 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Texan here in Aruba. I have to give that pre warning. This is some of the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The fried rice has ham in it which I’ve never seen before, the hot and sour soup was like mushroom soup and super thick. The ONLY thing good my family and I had was the sweet and sour chicken. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone hungry in any nature. Not only that they seated us in an isolated section, over all it was a very bad experience.

    We would like to share our experience with the restaurant for a reservation we made on the 26th of December 2020. We reserved from 5 pm to 8 pm for a baptism. However, we were asked to leave at 7.10 pm because of a double booking. Although the food was excellent, the service could have been a lot better.

  • 5/5 Shuyan Huang, M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and I never got food poisoning while eating here multiple times since early November 2020. Now it is almost Christmas. My conch dish had large portions - I’m not sure about what one of the earlier reviews was talking.

  • 4/5 Lia K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good food, nice staff, not cheap. But everything is expensive in Aruba. Adds 15 percent service costs and the prices were higher on the bill than on the card. I found it a bit cold in the restaurant due to the air conditioning. (Original) Lekker gegeten, aardig personeel, niet goedkoop. Maar alles is duur op Aruba. Komt 15 procent service kosten bij en de prijzen waren op de rekening hoger dan op de kaart. Ik vond het in het restaurant wat koud door de airco.

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and great service. Our surf & turf meals and our dutch apple pie dessert was probably the best meal on our entire vacation and it was our last night in Aruba. The server was great and anticipated our needs even though she was busy and I believe the only server on the floor last night. The bartender checked on us when the server was busy. Everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome, which didn't happen much this time in Aruba. The only negative was - one can of diet coke was $4. I won't take off a star because everything else was amazing, but $4 is ridiculous for a can of diet coke!

    Nice little casual restaurant near Manchebo resort and the Alhembra Casino. Nice sized portions, really good taste, reasonable prices, and attentive service. Had the Dutch pancake and toasted ham and cheese one morning and grouper sandwich and Thai chicken one evening. All very good. Definitely a place to eat if looking for good food, casual atmosphere, and good price.
