I was looking for a fast dinner so that I could catch up on sleep and jet lag. This was near my hotel and looked okay. I had the Duck with 5 Ingredient Tastes and it was awful. The only taste I could find seemed to be a bad sweet and sour sauce. I never taste duck or anything else. The rice was warm but the duck dish was definitely not. Don't go there.

Chinese Buffets are pretty plentiful around the city but tend to be rather average. Not this place! The food is fresh and not too greasy; which it a rarity among such venues in Budapest. Select your dished and sided and pay at the till. 1400 forint will get you a big plate of food and a beer. The service is prompt- and they expect you to be prompt and not dither about like a lost sheep.

Terrible servise and terrible food. It is cheap, that is true. But for this quality does not worth any money. The tipical place where you feel the service is a favour and you should be greatfull to get your food for your money. Absolutely not recommended place.

One of the best Chinese food in town. The menu was pretty much the same with others but it was good.
I ordered the miso soup and it was pretty good. The price was worth the quality, you can ask for smaller portion if you like.

It is ideal for a fast meal, but when i visit it around 8 pm on Sunday it hasn't big variety on foods. Only 1 type of soup and 4 kinds of main courses with chicken. I think is a bit wrong for an asian restaurant located in such a touristic district. The food was good though, the staff friendly but the big minus is that the restaurant only accept cash. Please guys! But the overall experience was ok!
