The second best Chinese restaurant in Nicaragua. The first being Shanghai bistro, I was recommended this place by a friend, that told me he’d like this place better than Shanghai. We ordered a ton of food and this is the outcome. All of the food was excellent, the best being the dim sum, obviously. I personally liked their shrimp fried rice better than Shanghai. The fried noodles were cheap quality, but also tasted better. Everything else seem like a lesser quality meat and not cooked as well. So I still think that Shanghai has better food than this restaurant The ambience of this place was actually very similar to Shanghai, but Shanghai has an outside patio and more private rooms and areas to eat. What I did not like, was the customer service. The waiters actually did care here, they just didn’t have much knowledge. As soon as I got there, we sat at a table with a spinning tray in the middle called a Lazy Susan. Unfortunately the table is rocking, so we asked the waiter. Can you please put something under the table, so it doesn’t rock and he recommended us to sit at another table far away. We said we don’t want to sit at another table we like to sit at this table, and we just need to put something under the table to fix the table , and he didn’t know what to do. Like he never fixed a table before in his life. So we gave up and went and sat at a table. We didn’t want to sit at. The next family came in and had the same problem, and they were also recommended to go sit at another table. Even thought that this table was very easily fixable. we asked for a beer. He forgot to bring a beer. There were other small things, but very common in Nicaragua as customer service is not trained much here. Shanghai has much better customer service. Unfortunately, both restaurants do not sell Asian beer, even though it is very accessible at the local markets. I would highly suggest Both restaurants to at least get Sapporo beer, or Tsing Tao. I would recommend this place to eat as a secondary option to Shanghai bistro

Very nice, authentic Chinese food! Had shrimp and pork dumplings, fried rice, and chow mein! The bak choi with pork was amazing!

I wasn't impressed with the service. The food was ok. The atmosphere was better than most places here in Managua. I would give it a second chance. It sure wouldn't be my first choice for Asian food. It's one of those places that you would have to try for yourself to give it a thumb up or down. I'm currently neutral about it at the moment. Thumbs down on the service!

Overall good food. Must order the steamed Shrimp Dim Sum, Kung Pow Chicken, and The Steamed Fish. The Ramen was delicious, Shrimp Spring Roll was good, Vegteable Spring Roll was unsatisfying, the Wontons had absolutely no meat whatsoever, the Pork Bub was delicious, the fried rice was delicious, the Noodles were disapointing, the Sweet and Sour Chicken was delicious, the Kung Pow Chichken was a 11/10, and the Steamed Fish 11/10. Can be loud, and the service can be slow.

Dim sum in Nicaragua was a pleasant surprise. The fact that it was pretty good was even better. Had dim sum all around the world including Hong Kong, Macau and San Francisco Bay Area. This did not disappoint.
