Generous portions, kindly service and good flavours!
We have now visited this place few times and it never disappointed us. It's not the common Finnish-Chinese food you can easily find in others Chinese restaurants in Finland.
At first I was skeptical about this restaurant because I saw a lot of suspicious 5* the reviews and I think this restaurant have bought reviews from a service. Luckily the food is actually good and have earned my recommendation!
Their pork knuckle and beef tendon are so far my favourite dishes. Also their eggplant and braised chicken are also tasty.

New update, if the right dishes are ordered, the food can get to four stars. Definitely the best place for spicy Chinese food in Helsinki. However, as many other Chinese restuarants, the cleanliness is not that appealing. We ordered three dishes and two out of which were tasty. The Xiangtan rice noodle was hot and very spicy which brought some authentic feelings of having street food in China. The stir-fry pork was also spicy enough. Do not recommend lamb stew.
