I'm not a big fan of Chinese cuisine, but I really liked this place! The waiter was friendly and unobtrusive, he brought drinks and dishes quickly. The food was delicious and not extremely spicy. I especially liked the cucumber dish! Beer is sold here only in bottles, there is no draft beer. The prices are very affordable, I recommend this small, quiet restaurant to everyone! - Olga Skorobogach
