This place is not bad at all, not by a long shot. It's exactly what you think of when you think generic Chinese food. I even liked it. It is, however, completely average. Better than most, but still extremely boring. I would go here for some quick, dependable Chinese on some grey weekday.

The place was packed, a good sign for food freshness. I had Akakiko bento. The portion size was big. The sushi and sashimi were fresh, flavor wise average. All the rice was made to perfection, a big plus. The bulgogi was a little too oily and of average skill level. One thing their bento does better than others is the amount of vegetables, lots of it. This bento can be considered a more balanced meal than most. A rarity in eating out. Food came quickly once ordered. Overall this place could become a regular eating out option when wanting something quick but not fast-food.

Second visit today. Food and service outstanding. The place is warm and friendly and they have taken authenticity serious! Summer rolls full to the brim with chicken, so were the prawn spring rolls. Mains plentiful and very tasty, rice especially good. If you like good original Thai food, you MUST go there!

This is hands on the best Thai restaurant in Linz. Very authentic flavors, no BS, friendly and also sometimes doing things outside the menu if asked. Their curries are fantastic and so is the sweet-sour fish. The only thing I do better is the sticky rice with mango. Oh, and my girlfriendâs spring rolls.

I booked these chinese based on the recommendation of a colleague who lived in HK.I have to say that it was a good recommendation!Our expectations were low as the european chinese food is quite "processed" and "standard".However the experience in this restaurant was really great, we took their famous "hotpot", which means it is served with fresh ingredients which you have to cook yourself in their hot bouillons and eat them with different sauces.The result was really good, even tough the restaurant was very busy and the boss gave us a very fast introduction on how it works and how long each ingredients needs...The key factor in this positive experience is that you are fully integrated in the cooking process as you need to cook it yourself... which makes the experience great!The meat needs to be very shortly cooked and it is delicious. The shrimps are also very good, even tough you have to peel them yourself...We took the Dao set including starter and fruits as dessert, we recommend.Enjoy!

Mentioned we were vegan in our booking, the (assumed) manager came to us and explained our options which were many compared to most indians/Thais/chineses. Enjoyed the food so much and the wine! (The Pinot Chablis was vegan) thankyou to the boys who ran the night! Donât miss it!

I decided to go there after lots of very good comments from my friends. The experience didnât disappoint at all! The quality of the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is great and the team working in the restaurant couldnât be more friendly! I really felt very welcome and at home. Being a big fan of Indian food, I visited many Indian restaurants in different locations around the globe due to many business trips and holidays. This one is definitely my favorite!

Coming from California, where Chinese restaurants are abundant, and both Oakland and San Francisco have large Chinatown areas, my bar for Chinese food is set pretty high. We went to this restaurant largely at the request of our daughter who is a vegan, and found it listed on a vegan food site that she uses regularly when traveling. The one thing about Chinese food that I have observed is that it takes on a local flavor. Chinese food in Amsterdam is different from Chinese food in Tokyo, is different from Chinese food in CA, is different from Chinese food in China. I care about flavor. If it is present, then the local nuances do not impact my rating negatively. There were some items on the menu that you don't normally see at a "Chinese" restaurant, but might see at an Asian restaurant.We arrived on a Friday evening at about 6 PM, in two installments. My wife and I arrived first. There were several tables available, but most of the free tables had reserved signs on them. So the first bit of advice would be to reserve if you want to eat in the 6:30-7:30 time window. The restaurant is clean, air-conditioned, had an extensive menu that includes English translations, and offers a limited beer and wine selection. Vegan items are clearly labeled although some things that are labeled vegan might not be compliant with the very strictest definition of a vegan diet. As an example, there is a dish made with Thai red curry paste that I believe was labeled vegan, but the red curry paste I regularly use when cooking contains a small amount of dried shrimp. Among the appetizers we ordered were a yuba-wrapped baked tofu, wontons in chili oil, vegan and nonvegan versions of dumplings, and one other dumpling-type dish. All of them were satisfying. For the main courses we had stir fried noodles with real duck, with pork, and with vegan/mock duck, and then a vegan satay dish. My second bit of advise is that if you are used to eating Chinese with shared dishes, this not what you get here. My wife and I exchanged plates after eating portions of our dishes, but this is not a "family-style" service model. If what you want is a family-style restaurant, you may want to look elsewhere. We enjoyed the food so all was well for us. The service was friendly and efficient. Credit cards are accepted. Do I like this as much as my favorite local back-home Chinese restaurant? No. Do I think the food was very good and is worth recommending? Yes. It was better than I expected it to be, and if it were located in CA and nearer to my home, it is a place I would revisit. If your party includes some vegetarians and/or vegans, then the place is definitely worth a visit. I'm an omnivore, but if you are hosting vegans, this is a great place to know about.

The food is wonderful and unique given the Scandinavian and Asian fusion cooking. The brothers who run the place are very friendly, helpful and interactive.Scallops werenât on the menu at this time, but they whipped them up upon request.Stop in for a bite. You wonât regret it.
