    Was recommended this by a local and the food was absolutely beautiful but better than the food was the service. There was an older man, I believe he was the owner, he was such a lovely man, super efficient and the food was delivered so quickly. Hidden gem this place.

    In Benalmadena for a week holiday from Ireland, had many average meals, but nothing even close to this as both service and food exceptional. Table of 11, 6 adults and 5 kids, 2 courses each and all was perfect. Vegetarians/pescatarians/fussykids When I'm back in benalmadena, I'll be revisiting and honestly cannot wait! 10/10!💫

    Absolutely love this place..One of the oldest Chinese Restaurants in Benalmadena..Adaptable menu for customers with certain dietry requirements and food intolerances..Fast and efficient home delivery service aswell as dining in..Humongous portion sizes so I always choose half portions which are still big!.Reasonably priced!

    The service is amazing. Attentive, friendly, and makes you feel at home. The food is outstanding. Big portions, more than fair price, and you can see that it is freshly made. Also, it is worth noting that they do have a very good vegetarian and vegan selection, so everyone in our group was happy. 10 out of 10, I can't think of a single thing to improve.

    Best food for both delivery and dine-in. Food is always fresh and delicious and prepared with care! The staff is very nice and always kind! A special mention goes to the Char Siu Bao, they are so soft and juicy and full of flavor!

    Found this restaurant by accident, but went back for a second visit. Very good food, served by friendly staff, at an excellent price. The menu del dia is terrific value at 9.50 Euros. Closed on Mondays, so we had to go back for our second visit on the Tuesday. Recommended.

    Had the menu del dia here, the food was all good, the spring rolls had plenty of filling and the blackbean sauce was the tastiest I've had. The owner (I think) was lovely and so friendly.

    Honestly absolutely amazing food, it was so fresh and tasted gorgeous. We booked again for our last meal because it was that good. A must go and soo reasonably priced.

    I ordered egg fried rice, I received boiled rice with bits of egg in it. This is a basic, basic Chinese dish and it is unforgivable for this to be served. Truly awful dim sum starters and a total lack of veg or anything in my main (just chicken and the sauce). I'm honestly wondering if people are reviewing the same restaurant. Will not be returning.

    Best Chinese food I’ve had and the prices are pretty cheap.

    just had a meal in Water Margin Chinese not far from benalmadena marina. I have to say it was honestly the nicest Chinese meal I have ever had. Sangria was the nicest I have ever had, the people, the service was absolutely fantastic I cannot recommend this enough. We could smell it from the top of the road, even the Chinese and Spanish locals were getting take aways it's that good! The value for money was next to none. They do a special menu of the day and it's €9.90 for 3 courses we couldn't believe it. The gentleman that served us I presume owner he was the sweetest man! An absolute treasure. Highly recommend and will be back 100%

    Hi, we visited here after a recommendation. This is a fabulous family run Chinese restaurant. The food and service was superb. Our host Si Wah is an extraordinary man. He has been in business here for 39 years. His welcome and warmth is something you don't find often in this day and age. He genuinely likes his customers without being overbearing in any way. The food is very reasonably priced and the Sangria was the best we have had. (Tip Avoid those so called rip off Irish bars where you get get undrinkable Sangria, unless you get a recommendation from a local). All in all a wonderful family run restaurant where locals in the know will regularly frequent. hidden gem.

    What a find this family run restaurant was. Off the main road down a little steep side street, would never of found it if we hadn't been told how to get there by a local taxi driver. Super fast service, great tasting food and amazing value for money.

    Went with three others I was on a Golfing Holiday with last Saturday. The food was absolutely outstanding. I cannot rate this restaraunt high enough. The lovely old man taking our orders was expedient and very conscientious, we made a huge order and nothing was missed. The food quality was superb and came out faster than we expected. The food was piping hot and delicious. Highly recommended if your in the area.

    Having eaten in the restaurant twice during our stay (both excellent) we ordered takeaway to have on our last night and it did not disappoint. Piping hot, delicious and massive portions. Particularly grateful of the prawn crackers which we demolished. If you’re in Benalmadena, you should eat here!

  • 5/5 Susan H. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was very tasty, with the option of half versus full portions for main which was great as the portions are very decent! It was a lovely atmosphere, with a warm welcome and attentiveness throughout our meal. I would definitely recommend and noted its popularity with multiple takeaway orders being prepared as we dined.

  • 5/5 Gordon W. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a lovely, unpretentious restaurant with a comprehensive menu which should appeal to most people. I had a very enjoyable takeaway from here comprising of Dim sum/salty ribs/Sizzling beef with black bean sauce and boiled rice. The steamed Dim Sum were wonderful. The staff here are amazingly friendly and will help with your order. Price is very reasonable and you can eat out/in as you wish. The service alone merits my vote. Near the Marina/Prom and Puerto Marina bus stop. Very good and very reasonable.

    High expectations after reading all the good reviews, we have just had a takeaway I will not be ordering from here again. Poor quality and tasteless, very disappointed ☹️

    Our family discovered this restaurant while recently spending Christmas in Benalmadena. What a great family run place. The food is good Chinese food, they are have an excellent selection of dishes to suit everyone. The service is wonderful, we were so happy that we went there twice for dinner during our 4 night stay in the area. Highly recommend for a good Chinese meal.

    Siwa and his family are amazing, lovely service and incredible food, looove the veggie options ❤️ I go as often as I can and take any one that will come with me!

  • 5/5 stuart h. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly outstanding. Just go and don’t even hesitate. A wonderful meal that has to be the best and most authentic Chinese I have ever eaten. What we ordered was a banquet including drinks for eight of us for just under 100 euros. Incredible 👌

  • 5/5 Chloe 1 year ago on Google
    So well priced considering how good the food is! Lovely staff and the food was amazing

  • 5/5 Geena P. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best Chinese food I've had, friendly staff and the food was very reasonably priced and delicious, definitely would come back!

  • 2/5 Maria Therese R. 1 year ago on Google
    Big servings at very low prices, friendly staff but a rather uncharming location. Unfortunately, the price level also reflects the quality of food which was poor. We had the hot and sour soup which was not at all spicy. Small springrolls which were mostly batter and little if any filling. Peking duck and duck in orange sauce. The duck seemed like it had been deep fried several times.We went here because of the 4.8 rating but I would not rate it higher than 2 stars. But I guess one cannot expect more at those prices.
