In Rome, where pasta, pizza and prosciutto are everywhere, you crave a break. Chinese food may seem a departure from all the Italian food, but not here. The pan-​fried dumpling appetizer was nothing special, the sauce for it, bland.
We shared the classic general Tso’s chicken and spicy pork. They tasted identical; a nasty brown sauce, likely gravy of some sort and no spice, not even garlic. In this city, a dish without garlic when it should have some is practically a crime.
A couple next to us took one bite of a whole fish. The girl turned pale and sent the rest back. They paid and promptly left.
A dated old place, the matchy, matchy wallpaper and draperies looked to have survived a few centuries, without good reason. Paying with cash worked, they seemed to have a problem running credit cards.

Was craving Chinese food after an overload of Italian food. This place was not far from our hotel. It’s much fancier than I expected for a Chinese restaurant, being that I’m used to New York fast food Chinese restaurants. I had the general tso’s chicken and shrimp fried rice. Both were very good. Good portion for two people. A but pricier than expected but hit the spot. I wish they made this version of general Tso’s in NY as opposed to the breaded one. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a Chinese food fix in Rome

I would like to preface my review with the fact that I’m American so I am used to Americanized Chinese food. I ordered the spring rolls which were pretty flavorless, the potstickers which were burnt and did not have soy sauce to dip in (they brought other sauce that I did not care for), and fried rice which was also flavorless. Overall not a satisfying meal.

Located near Via Veneto in northern area of the city. I came in for dinner on a weeknight without any knowledge of the place but the positive was it’s conveniently minutes of walking from the Marriott Flora Hotel. We were fortunate to get a table since they were quite busy even for a Tuesday.
Being from southern California U.S. I’m spoiled with great and reasonable Chinese restaurants. The interior is upscale decorated and spotless including the bathrooms. They offer complimentary Internet which worked efficiently.
We started off with crab asparagus soup and followed with spicy shredded pork and pepper beef. Overall all of the food was very tasty and the right portion for two. The total tab including hot tea and rice was $ 49 euros.
I would recommend this place if you’re craving for solid Chinese food in a nice atmosphere. They also accept credit cards.
