"Great service"
Navarro
"This is one of the most expensive Chinese places in Xalapa. I ordered the oriental bowl wok, and that’s how much chicken I got for 179 pesos. The rest was just noodles. I would not recommend anyone to eat here."
Анна Дрягилева
"Small, stuffy. The food is great but it's overpriced, nothing you can't get at the usual chinese restaurant.
Service is atrocious, waiters lack service attitude, are poorly trained and there's a really annoying and loud alarm that sounds randomly inside the restaurant and apparently nobody is able to turn off."
