Ristorante Cinese Universo In Roma

This place needs some renovation. The food has been too salty lately... I come here when I want to eat close to home.

The restaurant has a fairly small dining room, with a larger outdoor terrace added in the summer. The floor is made of transparent glass, and underneath there's a sort of Zen garden with water—a nice idea, but the bright green neon lights illuminating the entire lower area create a more Martian atmosphere than a Chinese restaurant. Otherwise, the place is dated and definitely in need of modernization. The service is quite slow, but the food is good: I tried the steamed dumplings, which were good but small, and a Cantonese rice dish that was plentiful but too salty. The prices are average. All in all, nothing special.

Friendly service, food was tasty. It is a shame that is not very popular.

Historic place, aesthetically a bit old-fashioned. The food quality is not bad, the staff is kind and helpful.

I am a regular at Asian restaurants, having been married for years to a woman from Southeast Asia. It is obvious that the Chinese ones are the easiest to find. I have only tried the cuisine of this restaurant with take away..... I would say good as a cuisine.... But I have to report one thing: terrible behavior on the part of the owners who do not allow payments with a debit card for amounts under five euros..... Considering that since 2023 the minimum limit of a payment with a POS has been removed, so much so that even a coffee can cost one euro, I consider this behavior really incorrect. Obviously, I will never set foot there again, also as a matter of principle. I have never liked crafty people.
