28/11/2025: Great place. I'd already been to the place they have near the Duomo and wanted to try the one in Sarpi too. Authentic flavors and friendly staff, I'll be back 😽🫂

Dined here today while exploring Chinatown for lunch.
I tried -
1. Involtini di Primavera
Very soft yet crispy—just a gentle touch and you can hear them break. They were large and tightly stuffed with shredded carrots and cabbage. Texture-wise and price-wise, definitely good.
However, the flavor was a bit bland compared to other Chinese places I’ve tried. Maybe dipping them in soy sauce first would have helped—I’ll probably try that next time.
The sauce served alongside was quite sour, with vinegar dominating. I expected a sweet-chilli sauce, but I think this is their standard pairing, so I didn’t ask.
2. Zuppa di Miso
A surprisingly generous portion—more than double what I expected—with plenty of tofu. Combined with spinach, it tasted wonderful.
After the relatively bland spring rolls, this soup really had my heart. It had a comforting flavor. What I loved most was the warm, slightly spicy sensation in the throat—not from the temperature, but likely from pepper or similar spices which are hot by nature. That warmth made it incredibly satisfying. Truly amazing.
3. Spaghetti di Patate Cinesi Saltate
Again, a bigg portion—this dish alone could almost fill you up. With shredded carrots, thin potato slices, mushrooms, spring onions, and more, it was very fulfilling.
The flavors were gentler than what I'm used to, but adding some (or maybe a little more than “some” 😉) soy sauce fixed that instantly.
The bonus was that by the time I finished my starters, these noodles had cooled to a warm temperature—which I prefer over piping hot. It actually made them easier to handle, since these smooth noodles tend to be slippery on the fork 😂.

Seating spots are limited so it's better to get it booked before hand as two people who had finished lunch were asked to consider vacating as we entered.
A decent spot for lunch with generous portions and friendly service.
Thank you!
