My favorite place! Prices are ok, and everything is delicious. You should taste rice with eggs here. Здесь пиздато, ребят :)

I have been here multiple times. I love all the dishes they have with shrimp. Shrimp dumplings check . Shrimp samsi noodles, shrimp chousuey and fried wantans are my favourites. Chicken chopsuey is good. The chaufan is good as well. I have tried pikachu chicken. Chaufan and pikachu chicken is a good combination. Do not try veg dumplings it is stuffed with potato .

What a fun place to go eat! The dumplings were my favorite part of dinner. They were made with very tasty lamb! Yay! No pork, very rare. The wantans with chicken were good. Loved the chicken chow main and Mongolian tofu. Would return to try other dishes. The atmosphere was great. The cats were funny (no real cats, )

Definitely the best Chinese food we have had in a very long time! Service was very professional and welcoming. Food came rather quickly and is made to order! Can be a little pricey, but considering the service, atmosphere and quality of the food- worth every penny! Even our boys ate every bite! Definitely going back!

Amazing service, great atmosphere, I love the red lights and oriental aesthetic. For the price, they serve you like a King! Will be regularly returning here.

Best Chinese food I’ve had in town. Loved the portions, amount of meat, flavor, and especially their cute little sauce containers! (Hearts for most, little fishies for soy sauce!) (My dad and brother were firefighters, so with an indoor ceiling full of paper lanterns, while beautiful, could be a safety concern.)

Great food and cute place. The decorations are very cool and the menu offers good options. The attention to details such as cleaning the tables and the kindness to customers can improve a bit. Definitely will visit again.

Agree with other reviewers - best Chinese restaurant (at least, most like an American one) in Montevideo. Very cool place, nice atmosphere, good staff, and their own craft beer. To get better Chinese food you probably will have to order from one of the people who cook in their kitchen, you’ll run into them on Instagram eventually. But if you just feel like Chinese tonight, this is your jam. Expensive (like everything in Uruguay) but really good. We had fried won tons, all three kinds of dumplings, pork lo mein, fried rice, and Mongolian beef. Mongolian beef was actually a little spicy. Everything was really good. I noticed they didn’t marinate/tenderize the pork or beef like in Chinese restaurants in the USA but that is probably my only quibble.
