Rosticceria Hao Wei Wu In Padova

I personally think that most of the reviews here are misleading. This is, by far, is the cheapest takeaway Chinese food in Padova. At the other places, 6€ will get you only one fried rice, but in here, the same amount of money gives you the WHOLE set with antipasti (involtini/wonton), fried rice/noodles, and any second course of protein you’d like. I lived nearby for a quite some time but I didn’t dare to go due to the bad reviews. However, I’m glad that I went here during my last weeks in the neighborhood. To me, the meal symbolizes the good quality of chinese themselves: no bullshit, very quick, very efficient, straightforward communication. I always went there in the evening and only one lady greeted me. I thought she was the cashier, but apparently she did everything SOLO. So of course, I was worried that my food might take longer time to be served. However, I got my China Tris in less than 15 minutes and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the portion is smaller compared to the other takeaways, but with the price? Come on. In this economy, it’s hard to find a place that sells a cantonese fried rice for 3,5€! After several time going there, I found my best combo is always the fried rice and pollo con funghi-bambu (chicken cooked with mushrooms and bamboo). I tried several others, but always return to my “classic” combo. As for the beef, I don’t really recommend it since they use the weird part of the beef, the ones that’s very filmsy and rubbery at the same time. Or you can try the pork instead (the agrodolce one) because it tastes much better than beef. If you want something spicy, you can ask them to make it spicy before the lady disappears into her kitchen! I gave it 4 stars only because of this: although I went there several times already and asked for wontons, she keeps giving me spring rolls…. Why? 🥲 Luckily the spring rolls are good (pretty much sure they are home made!!!) but still, I’m still curious about the wontons….. why couldn’t you give me them and never tells me that they are unavailable? 🥲😭🥲

Friendly staff, but small portions
