This place is run by a small family (husband & wife). They serve instantly prepared food. The quality and quantity of food they serve is good. Unfortunately they do not speak any English so was difficult to communicate. I had to seek help from their son (maybe 12-15 yrs) who spoke very little English. I must say their prices were very interesting.

Quality,quantity of food and price are great.service is quite fast and it is more of a place to order than to sit in but regardless of the looks the service is great.I forgot to take photo of the main dishes but they were outstanding

This is the best dumpling soup I've ever had! Large portion sizes and a good price. It was delicious

Best Chinese dumplings we had in Spain!!!! Best sweat and sour soup also. You have to trust my word for it because we are Chinese from China and we know what is good Chinese food, Very reasonable price and taste better than others we tried.

Affordable and truly yummy! As a Filipina I can’t help but look for Chinese restaurants when I walk around my city. Thankfully I’ve found this gem. The place is small (only about 5 tables) and it can get cramped during lunchtime, but the size of the space makes up for the delicious food. I ordered the fried Chinese bun, spring rolls and arroz con tres delicias. The bun was hot and fresh, as seen from the light smoke coming out when I sliced it. The bun was soft and warm. The speing rolls were flavorful, and so was the rice. Everything cost €6 and I got to pay with my card. Definitely coming back here to eat!

Really good traditional Chinese at the expected price range and good portions. Really recommended.
