The best Chinese restaurant in Rome, now historic, they have preserved the tradition and do not do all you can eat, only Chinese and Thai, but done well, very good

This cannot be described as Indian cuisine. And to top it off, the food was served cold.

A historic Chinese restaurant in the Salario neighborhood.
After hearing good things about it from several people, I decided to go, as I'm passionate about Asian cuisine.
Ya Yuan is an excellent Chinese restaurant: the quality of the ingredients, the beautiful and welcoming atmosphere, and the top-notch service are three characteristics that are not often found.
Despite this, however, in my opinion the restaurant in question doesn't fully represent typical and authentic Chinese cuisine. The menu obviously features many Chinese dishes (and also a vast selection of Thai cuisine), but the flavors are very "Italianized" and a bit distant from traditional Chinese flavors (often unique and very different from what we're used to). Of course, being a historic restaurant that's been open for over 30 years, I think this lightening of the flavors is normal to please the palates of as many customers as possible.
In conclusion, I can say that it was a lovely evening and that I would return (but with the understanding that it wouldn't be a full immersion in typical Chinese flavors).

I've been going there since I was a child, regularly, and it never loses its appeal. I remember watching them make gnocchi by hand, after hours, with a serious look on their face, and maybe they still do! They haven't been swept away by trends, perhaps helped by a neighborhood with a lot of nostalgics, and you can tell many of their customers are regulars. Traditional Asian cuisine (I'm talking about Italian tradition; I've never been to China :)) is tasty, and the lunch menu is affordable and generous. I like to try them, knowing I'm on the safe side, but I'm a gnocchi person, and they never run out. I highly recommend it!

My trusted Chinese restaurant for over twenty years! They've always paid attention to the selection of quality products for delicious, healthy cuisine! They've always been customer-focused, courteous, clean, and fast. I've never been disappointed. If you're in the area, come visit!
