    Upscale restaurant, the place is cosy with subdued light. The boss is nice and like to talk with us but his staff is sometimes stressed. Food is delicious and big portions served as it should be in the true Chinese way. A particular remark about the menu's material which is well designed (like an old book) but it is difficult to understand the difference between yellow and purple pages when we come the first time. The price are reasonable. The location is bad as it outside of Brussels and next to the ring. A fewer car park space.

    Good food with a lot of choice. There is also an 'authentic' menu for those that like it spicier.

    Initially forgot/couldn't find our reservation so cramped table. Forgot menu items but still paid for them. Very difficult to get waiter's attention to remind about forgotten included menu item sides. Did not bring items after being reminded. The duck is delicious. Wish I could have tried the ice cream but it never came.

    Nice oriental restaurant. I would give it 4.5 stars (Google permitting) - I reserve the 5 stars for truly exceptional restaurants. The service is very nice and all that came to the table was correctly cooked and very nice. It opened a short time ago but they will definitely go far if they keep the quality of service an food. There are menus from 16 to 30 EUR including soup., starter, main dish and desert. However I did find the wine list a bit short, but I believe the choices fit well with the oriental cuisine. Definitely recommendable. Back again trying some really Chinese dishes... Squid with black bean sauce... Delicious... But only if you like spicy dishesπŸ˜‹ After a few more visits... Station 3 definitely is worth the 5 stars of an exceptional restaurant... Good work guys. Every dish I tried was delicious, and they were quite a few!

    Assuming that I am not familiar with Chinese cuisine, which is why my assessment may not be relevant. However, I am constantly looking for restaurants and I am not afraid to try exotic dishes. I wanted to try Station 3 as it is relatively close to where I live and because of the good customer reviews. For my personal tastes, the dishes alternated between very strong tastes and others that were particularly bland. Let's say an interesting experience, but not a particularly delicious one. Perhaps the thing that surprised me most is the request by the friendly staff to leave the restaurant by 10pm, closing time. Certainly the latter thing to take into consideration when planning an evening with friends.

    From many Chinese restaurant i have tried in Brussel I personally think this one is quite authentic. I ordered a 30 euro set menu just to try a few things and since it was the first time i didn’t wanted to risk it. The amount they served is quite decent for the price and flavor was good, the decorations just reminded me of Hutongs restaurants in Beijing. I take one star out because the Wanton from the soup they served was a a bit simple, a bit of salt would have make a huge difference and the soup was nice! I saw that many people was ordering gubaorou, i can’t wait to be back and try that delicacy with other plates. Just reminded me of my time in China. Staff was very friendly, they all speak mandarin and english. Make sure to call for reservation before you show up.

    Great variety of (authentic) Chinese food. Plates are beautifully presented and taste good. The restaurant is cosy, clean and nicely decorated. But slightly on the expensive side.

    Lived in China and this place is the closest I have found to that level of authenticity and quality. Probably the best Chinese in Brussels or even Belgium. Leg of lamb is Epic.

    Not up to scratch and very rude. Reminded repeatedly and still managed to forget my order. Claimed I never ordered it and yet had only taken 7 main courses for 8 people. They can’t handle big groups and they don’t take feedback very well. Couldn’t recommend.

    Incredible, simply incredible best Chinese I have EVER experienced. Forget all your previous misconceptions about Chinese food. This is just another level. It's delicious the spinach salad is to die for, the braised beef!!! The lamb the pack choice everything delicious. I wish this place was closer to the city centre of Brussels. Ideally visit with the car. Just enjoy...the best part is if you have a group of above 6 pll you can get your own room. Service was good and you have a little bell to call the waiter...well we did coz we were in the separate room!!

    We indeed have a nice time in this restaurant and enjoy the harmonious atmosphere of the Chinese new year. The decoration is very attractive. Dishes are delicious and the service is perfect.But we came across the argument between the Chinese clients and the waiter. The client really lost his temper out of some unreasonable reasons and said some bad words to the waiter. I think as Chinese, when we stay abroad, we need to be polite and show our kindness to each other.

    We are from a European project on Blue Living Labs - What we can learn from our Asian communities in Europe. This is "Chinese cuisine" at the highest level and food you can't find in any European restaurant. You can eat for example jelly-fish with algae here.

    Some dishes were too salty, but in overall it's good. The service is average and the hallway is too cold.

  • 1/5 Tony R. 10 months ago on Google
    This was a dreadful restaurant! A very disappointing evening. We were a party of 13, they set us on 2 different tables, and out in the back yard! The food was OK, even though they didn't have the scallops I ordered, but the service was appalling. We waited 2 hours for our Naunton course and one of our party didn't get his dinner. The waiter insisted he hadn't ordered but the rest of tge table heard him! And no apology from any of the staff. We had to ask for everything two and three times. Not to be recommended. A very disappointing experience. 😞

    Service and atmosphere is good, but the food is just bad. It is like a Chinese take out restaurant in Paris or New York (not even a good one) but double the price. I ordered the basic sweet fried pork which was not fresh at all smells like doughnut. The beef was equally bad. The only good thing was the fried rice with vegetables. I had lots of take out Chinese food for a menu of 10 euro for fried rice and some meat when I was at school in Paris. I don’t think it was better than that. I love Chinese food and had lots of it (I have some very good Chinese friends too), and have tried lots of Chinese restaurants in Brussels and Antwerp, but this one is just below average. Again, service was not bad and the atmosphere is good.

    We tried to order few dishes today but the server keep telling us out of stock :( Especially my husband interested to have boiled meat and personally wish to order many dishes were sold out :( only 3-4 items available in 1 category, so I straight away ask the server which item that you got....if short of staff or some other reason that you refuse to provide in the menu, better to redo your whole menu then.

  • 2/5 SensorTechnology C. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a quintessential Chinese eatery with a strong local flavor. The 4.4 rating seems somewhat inflated, and the proprietor's overbearing attitude towards patrons doesn't sit well with me. I've dined here on three separate occasions, but I'm bidding farewell for good. On a side note, my stomach has consistently voiced its dissatisfaction after every visit.

  • 4/5 Bobo L. 2 years ago on Google
    Big portion, nice Chinese food, good atmosphere, really friendly staff :-)

  • 4/5 Krishanu D. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great albeit a bit expensive. Especially the fact that main dishes doesn't come with a portion of rice bothered me. We sat in a back room with no windows so it felt a bit stuffy. However the service and food make it up for it. Definitely recommended if you would like to experience something different than usual Chinese food here.

  • 5/5 Y J. 4 months ago on Google
    For sure the best Chinese restaurant in Belgium! Amazing food, super nice environment and good service! Always feel like home when we are there!

    The best pecking duck I’ve ever tasted. It’s crispy.

  • 5/5 Lucia L. 1 year ago on Google
    We had been to this restaurant many times for years, it is a really great experience each time, and we enjoyed so much about the service, friendly, kind and caring, even for our kids, they even prepared kids’ plates, bowls and spoons… we strongly recommend this marvelous Chinese authentic restaurant, we could even close our eyes to enjoy the traditional Chinese food as if we are in China. Deserve 5 stars without doubt absolutely!😊😊😊

  • 5/5 Devota S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were pleasantly surprised with very authentic Chinese dishes here. The boiled beef is very spicy, we all like it.

  • 5/5 Dongsik K. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Chinese restaurant in Benelux region. Strongly recommend if you want to take Chinese food in Brussel.

  • 1/5 Xiao L. 1 year ago on Google
    NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL! Overrated too much, typical Localized-Chinese restaurant! If you really want to try, I would suggest you bring the following two thingsL 1. Super strong stomach!!! 2. A big heat to fit the owner's hugo ego and unknown confidence! :P Here are the reviews: pro: 1. Good presentations of dishes, good for PR 2. Not bad tast when you have (literaly) first bite. 3. service is OK con: 1. A lot of fried meats and ingredients, totally misunderstanding the way of wok and fried! It is true that it's easy to cook in the kitchen, but not how the dishes were supposed to be made in China. 2. Always had stomachache afterward, twice already. Never had this issue from other Chinese restaurants. I'm not sure how fresh the fried oil is. 3. I am not against MSG, but this is too much for the average level I had in Belgium. 4. ARROGANT OWNER. As a conclusion, from a chinese eaty's point view, not recommend, mainly because of the quality of the ingredients. I may be bad luck, but that's what happened to me....

  • 5/5 Ting L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few of Chinese restaurants that offers authentic Chinese cuisine. I don't understand why fried rice or noodles became popular Chinese dishes in the west. You find them in every Chinese restaurant here. But you definitely misunderstood the Chinese cuisine if that happened to you. Station 3 will show you how you will normally find in real Chinese restaurants from the north part of China. Tasty and nicely presented. As a Chinese, I would give it a 4-star based on my personal experience on the foods. However, that's not totally fair as it is not located in China. It is very hard to find a good one like this in this country here. So a 5-star is fair.

    Love the food, services and ambiance. It was helpful our guests talked franchise, because it was a bit hard to communicate in English or Dutch. But the food and lunch was compensating more than enough.
