Toyama Ristorante Orientale In Milano

17/03/2025: During a walk in Chinatown in Milan, we stopped at Yuanzi Restaurant to try the Chinese hot pot. Despite my initial reticence towards food cooked in boiling broth, I found the experience pleasant and satisfying. We opted for the double broth: one section based on bones and sauerkraut, the other slightly spicy with Sichuan pepper. Among the various options, we ordered an assortment of meats for dipping, including beef, pork and lamb, all fresh and of good quality. Additionally, the smoked Chinese sausages added depth to the flavor of the broth. The restaurant offers a section dedicated to gravies, allowing you to customize your own sauces or add ingredients to the broth, with a wide range of choices. Towards the end of the meal, we noticed the addition of blue crab, which further enriched the dining experience. The environment is welcoming and the staff helpful, even if communication in Italian may be limited. The prices are in line with the offer and the overall experience was positive.

15/03/2025: Last night, my partner and I went to this beautiful restaurant for dinner. Everything was truly perfect, starting from the environment with attention to the smallest details, with beautiful floral details on the walls that struck me. The service was truly exceptional, especially thanks to one waiter in particular who helped us find a ring that had slipped into the large pot of broth (what a story). The only negative note was the cuttlefish and the chicken which were not to our liking at all as they had a really unpleasant flavour. For the rest, fantastic especially for special occasions. I would stay here again and recommend it in the future.
