4.5 / 5.0(134 reviews)
Came in for dinner with friends. Delicious food in big shareable sizes and it came fast - no complaints there at all. 4 stars is due to a foul garbage smell right at the entry gate! Such a shame. And Inside the restaurant we saw a sign saying something like “coffee, tea and water only for staying guests, not for take-away or staff” which I find very disrespectful towards staff and imposes such a lack of trust even between restaurant guests and staff. Pole for the staff, I hope they are treated with respect as they were kind and helpful. Otherwise fine Best Chinese restaurant in Arusha!! Even better than any Chinese restaurant in Germany!! The rooms are Sparkling CLEAN! Fair price! Big Love! The best authentic Chinese restaurant you can find in Arusha, we came here twice in 4 days and have tried a quite wide range of food, most are excellent, tasted and smelled just like real Chinese food. Personal favorites are: double cooked meat, sour pickle fish, fried rice, shredded pork and mapo tofu

We went here for dinner and bought food for a lot we couldn’t finish (we paid for it) but we where not allowed to take away, although the table was full with food that all went to waste. I offered to pay for take away (we didn’t want nothing for free) they did not allow. Extremely bad. After talking to the manager we where allowed but the staff did not allow although we offered to pay.

This place is sooooo good. And you know it has to be great food for mostly Asian people to dine there. .
