“Cute little place where you order at the counter and take a seat. Your order is brought to you. When I travel, I always crave for noodle soup and thankfully this restaurant exists and it hit the spot! The food has authentic Chinese flavors, something I didn't expect as there are so few Chinese residents in Bulgaria. We tried two new items - meatballs in tomato soup. It was an appetizer portion and I could have eaten a few servings. The meatball was packed with flavors. The eggplant dish was light. I came for the beef noodle and the thick noodles were perfectly chewy with tender beef slices. The broth leans more towards soy-based, but I enjoyed it. The pickled cucumbers helped cleanse the palate, although maybe a bit too salty for some. If you're looking for a break from Bulgarian or Italian food, give this Chinese restaurant a try. It's worth the trip and the service was helpful and friendly.”

“Absolutely outstanding. One of the best meals I’ve had in Sofia, and easily a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Chinese food. The biang biang noodles were fantastic. The balance of flavors and aromas was beautifully executed, and the dish was delicious even without the vinegar offered on the side, though it does add an extra layer of brightness if you choose to use it. The soy-marinated eggs were exceptional: deeply flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and genuinely memorable. The cucumber salad was enjoyable as well, though I personally would have loved a bit more of the bold, chili-oil-forward kick often found in similar versions in China. This rendition was milder and slightly sweeter, which may actually appeal to many diners. Will definitely come back tomorrow for another bowl!”

“Very delicious and authentic. One of the few places in Sofia I would genuinely enjoy coming back to. Menu is simple, my girlfriend and I tried the pork noodles and they were superb. The cucumber salad and marinated egg are nice starters to whet your appetite. I'd suggest not opting out of chili and coriander, as their addition really enhances the taste palette of the meal.”

“I’ve heard of this place for a while. Local friend told me the owner is a Bulgarian who went to China to study noddles. Today finally got chance to come to try with my friends. It turned out that the place was already taken over by a Chinese lady. I have to say, this is the most authentic noddle I’ve ever had in Sofia( except my own kitchen😜). The noddle is fresh, the chicken is well made. My friends are Shanghainese and I am Sichuanese, we all like it. If you are searching for real Chinese noddles and not afraid of chili. This is the place. ( not a place for people who prefers sweet and sour) 😋”

“A taste of Asia in the heart of Sofia. The menu is small but the food is very rich and delicious. The biang-biang was moderately spicy, the meat was very fresh and cooked well. The noodles are the right amount of chewy. Overall its a very nice place to taste some real Asian food.”

“A very cosy and lovely place. The menu has a few items which is always a plus in my book - they are perfected. If you're looking for some variety, they usually have a daily suggestions which means even more delicious food. I have been there a few times, have brought friends with me and have tried probably all the items in the menu and have yet to find something that I didn't enjoy. The people from the staff are always friendly and smiling, making you feel welcome. The only part that is a bit tricky are the working hours that make it a bit hard to visit if you're not working in the area. But working both weekend days now should make it easier. Great work and keep it on!”
