First Impressions
As you enter the inner ward, you would not expect to find a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant shares the inner ward with a sports bar, which makes entering the restaurant a bit off putting. But once you enter, you will find a very colourful Chinese decorated eatery. The wooden floors and the brick walls give the place an Estonian touch.
Despite of the Chinese ambiance, the staff is typical Estonian: not directly unpleasant, but very restricted and leave you on your own.
The Food
The restaurant advertises itself as a 100% Chinese place. The prices are low and the restaurant is among the cheapest Asian places in Tartu. The quality of the dishes varies and the same ingredients are used repetitively.
Bokkila ordered:
Shicuan - This dish is described as "spicy lamb with Chinese cabbage", and oh God, is there a field of cabbage hidden under the layer of lamb. The lamb was tasty but had a slimy texture and cabbage diluted the flavours. The portion was big, but the taste was boring, since the cabbage was never ending. A bit of a disppointment. 1.5/5
Fried Rice with Vegetables - As a side dish, the rice was normal, nothing special about it. There was the surprise element of egg in a vegetable dish that was not mentioned on the menu. 3/5

Toffee Bananas with Ice cream - The dish is fried bananas with ice cream. Nothing incredibly special about the dish, just good old fried bananas. 3/5
