As someone who studied at a university in Nanjing, the first bite of the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) was amazing. The skin was thin yet chewy, and the filling was sweet and meaty—exactly the taste I remembered, instantly transporting me back to the breakfast stalls outside the Gulou campus.
The braised lion's head meatballs were coated in glutinous rice, stewed until incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth. The best part was the crispness of the water chestnuts in the filling, creating a wonderful layering with the savory meat. The broth was clear yet incredibly flavorful, a testament to the chef's skill.
The pickled cabbage in the sauerkraut fish was of excellent quality, with a crisp texture. The fish slices were tender, and the finishing touch was the spoonful of freshly fried chili oil drizzled on top, its aroma elevating the entire dish to its soul.
The Yuhua stone glutinous rice balls were absolutely gorgeous! Biting into them revealed that the filling seemed to have incorporated butter, resulting in a rich, creamy flavor and a smooth texture—a perfect dessert to finish off the day.

No longer a Japanese restaurant, now is a nice and cozy Chinese restaurant offering Nanjing and Shanghai specialties, together with the usual classics of the Italian’s Chinese tradition. Not a huge menu, that to me is sign of quality. Great service.

Last week I went to this restaurant with three friends. The food is truly authentic: they offer typical dishes from my region, and for that reason, I feel I can give an expert review. The owner was very kind: she showed us their handmade desserts and, at the end of the dinner, even treated us to a refined dessert.

My husband, son, and I stopped by by chance, and it was a very pleasant surprise!!
Finally, an authentic Chinese restaurant: tasty and refined dishes, less choice than other Chinese restaurants, but high quality!
Prices absolutely in line with what you get.
Congratulations!

New Chinese restaurant. Modern and pleasant atmosphere. Attentive and very friendly staff. Excellent and very interesting recipes from the southwest area (Nanjing and Jiangsu Province). The presentation and preparation are much closer to what you'd actually eat in China. Delicious, definitely worth a try.
