Restaurant Chinese restaurant

😐 An ok Chinese place...the food is good (sometimes)... portions are large (sometimes)....problem seems to be in consistency, somedays food is really good and then others it's terrible 😔😔😔 I would avoid going at peck times, as this is when I've ran I to problems....they seem to lack in the staffing... People often mention service, Chinese, good, restaurant, Great,

    Sooooo good. It can be hard to find many vegetarian options in this town. So what a delight to find such a rich and flavorful tofu with shitaki mushrooms and vegetables. I will definitely have again!

    An ok Chinese place...the food is good (sometimes)... portions are large (sometimes)....problem seems to be in consistency, somedays food is really good and then others it's terrible 😔😔😔 I would avoid going at peck times, as this is when I've ran I to problems....they seem to lack in the staffing and can't handle a full house ....today (Sunday) I decided to go for a late lunch (2:30) was a BAD idea .....place was packed but was seated quickly, so far so good ...then the problems started ....my appetizers were cold and soaked in grease 🙄 this was after waiting about 20 minutes...at this time ordered my main course, waited another 30 minutes and food was COLD yes COLD .... everything I ordered was like warm at best ....called my server over and made the complaint, his answer was he would take the food back and have them warmed up....sorry but that was the WRONG answer....told him to forget it the we where NOT going to wait again for reheated food, after such a long wait....food looked like it was seating around for sometime ....this was my experience during my visit today....if you do plan to visit DO NOT go during peak hours you've been warned.....

    Great authentic Chinese food and a wonderful cocktail menu! I recommend trying their hot plates (a variety of sizzling meats). While you're there, have their professional bartender mix you a traditional whiskey sour or any of the signature cocktails that are available. Food and beverages are both very affordable and the service is excellent with many waiters ready to take your order.

    Very good mix of taiwanese, cantonese and mainland China dishes. The service is bad though and the food takes forever. The older waiters are more knowledgeable and helpful. Place is clean and the food is good if you know what to order. The menu for the locals is in spanish but the truly good dishes are written in Mandarin.

    Fried rice was good, and the presidentes were nice and cold. However, we did not get two items we ordered. But since we weren’t charged for them, it wasn’t a big problem. Waiter didn’t understand English (which I understand) & my Spanish is not great. However when you specifically point to (& show) the waiter an item on the menu, the language barrier should no longer exists. No one else in the restaurant should have been a warning sign.

    My second time in the restaurant and the worst service in the world I would never go over there that really bad customer service supposedly the phone line it was bad and I went over there at 3:00 to get the lunch and they said that they couldn't do anything because the phone line was down and the attention from the waitress and the person in the front it was the worst customer service that I ever have in Dominican Republic I would never go to the restaurant again

    This is one of the best Chinese restaurant in the country. I grew up eating Chinese food here so if you are looking for some authentic Chinese food make sure you try this place.

    It's a very traditional Chinese place. I don't like the fact that they don't have plenty of vegetarian options ironically, besides that is very cool.

  • 1/5 vineeth r. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Great food we had in santo domingo but not even one staff were helpful. We literally asked so many times but not even one person in the entire restaurant helped. We do not know spanish but we tried to communicate with google translator and they couldnt even understand the word chicken. For food its a go to place but if you dont know spanish just avoid it. Better get some classes on customer service for your staff.

    Hello, I went there with my husband and we order and appetizer and it was the wrong thing ! I order a chow fan de camarones and it was hard and cold ! The appetizer and the food got here at the same time. Honestly I think you guys should organize yourself more!

    Great place to eat Asian food! One of the best restaurants in town. The food and service was awesome! I really enjoyed all food we tried and the lemon juice was soooo tasty!

  • 5/5 Ana De la C. 1 year ago on Google
    They have the most options on a menu that I've ever seen at a Chinese restaurant. The place was crowded when we got there, but the service was good and quick.

  • 2/5 Cool & H. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is okey. You get a lot of food for the money. But if you care about taste and not how much food you get. Then you are not going to like it. But if you are drunk or high u will like it..

👍👍 The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.
