Very authentic

It is a small place and not luxurious, but the food is great and the service friendly. Make sure to come before most Spaniards get hungry because the place fills up quickly.

Good for vegan but not if you’re GF

The restaurant was small and the was was fast. However, if you are gluten-free or gluten sensitive, you will not find many options here. I was only able to eat their tofu, cauliflower and mushroom skewers. They were delicious. However, it is not a meal. #Veganuary

Pros: Flavorful, Well priced, Several non-gluten-free vegan dishes available

Cons: No gluten-free meal options, It is really small

GET THE SPICY SOUP WITH THE PEANUTS

The spicy soup was incredible!!! Best vegan broth I’ve had in a long time. So so tasty I could’ve ordered 3 more just for the broth. Bao buns average nothing I would get again. The bao buns are quite plain and bland. Soup would also benefit from some tofu or noodles.

Great food, quick, and affordable

Don't let the prices fool you, the dishes are quite sizeable. I had noodles, bao, tofu skewer, and a tosta cebolleta, and I was stuffed. The food was really good and I really loved the cold noodles. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Amazing cold noodles, Quickly prepared, Affordable

Cons: Not meant for slow dining

10 ⭐'S IF I COULD

Y'all. I don't know why this one isn't highly recommended on here. I legit had the best freaking food ever there. We had the vegan vegetable soup, lightly spiced and it was perfection. The aroma was absolutely Divine! the gyzoa dough was absolutely delicious and the vegan Bao were also absolutely incredible. Y'all legit never had Chinese food like this and i wish many more places would offer this kind of Chinese food. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A HUGE HIGHLIGHT. additionally , we've had three dishes that was more than enough and filling a 1.5L bottle of water and it was under 19€!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I still don't understand how they're so cheap. Definitely go here.

Went for a second time and got the soup middle spicy and 💥 Amazing. Almost too spicy when too hot. Also tried the tofu skewer and it was delicious.

Pros: HELLA GOOD FOOD, CHEAP AF , A ABSOLUTELY DIVINE EXPERIENCE

Cons: NOT A LOT OF SPACE, HARD TO GET A SPOT CAUSE ITS SO DAMN GOOD, NOT ENOUGH SPACE IN YOUR BELLY FOR ALL THE FOOD

WOW

I waited to arrive to a true asian restaurant. they dont even speak english. the place looks like an old chinese place, but packed with locals and tourists- its full all the time. We waited 5 minutes to sit.
food was great!!!!!! I had pumpkin fry that was nice and the ramen was really good.
I set here with friends that are not vegan and their minds exploated
Super cheap and amazing. Come here!

🌶🍲

I’m in LOVE with this place because I feel like I was transported straight back to China. The atmosphere & the food had me feeling so nostalgic. It’s definitely the most authentic chinese food I’ve ever had outside of China. Highly recommend the bao, scallion pancake, and spicy soup!! The vegan options are clearly marked and you can also confirm the broth is vegan. If you’re in Madrid, come here!!! It’s also cheap

Awesome and cheap food

The food is amazing and pretty cheap. All the vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. I have returned a few times already while studying in Madrid would highly recommend.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Cheap

Regular

En la carta tienen marcadas opciones con una V como si fueran veganas o vegetarianas, pero no lo so. Los platos que contienen caldo está todo hecho con caldo de carne aunque salga ese icono. Otras cosas fritas como los rollitos o el pan chino igual, a pesar de la V, llevan huevo y leche. Al menos el camarero me avisó. El resto de cosas que he probado estaban bastante ricas.

Lots of options

A really small authentic Chinese restaurant with lots of labelled vegan options. This place is very small and as we were eating there was a queue of people outside waiting for a table.

I had a ramen and although the veggies were nice the broth itself didn't have much flavour. However the spring rolls and dim sum were delicious.

Great variety of vegan options

There are many vegan options in every kind of plate. Fast and nice service. I ordered an appetizer pasta salad and a spinach boa and it was delicious, but the portions were so big, I could not finish it. With jasmine tea I payed 10 euros.

Pros: many options, delicious, fast service

So cheap and delicious

I enjoyed the weird entertainment they put on the screen. The meal I had tasted great. I general don't like chinese food because it's often sweet but the peanut noodles weren't. Yummy! Would rate five stars. Everything vegan is marked with a V.

Great authentic Chinese food!!

Vegetarian/vegan options contain all my favorite Chinese vegetables from starch noodles to rice noodles, lotus root and Chinese mushrooms. The dumplings are also amazing. But be warned it fills up quick and the green v probably means vegetarian especially when it comes to the desserts. I would double check.

Pros: Great options, Authentic food, Nice and spicy

Cons: Waiting time (it’s popular and small), Green V probably means vegetarian desserts

Good options!

For a dim sum 小吃 place there are a lot of vegan options, and they're all clearly marked! If you go at peak Spanish mealtimes you will have to wait, and maybe for a long time. I can tell you it's worth the wait, and having lived in China in the past, I can also say it's authentic, in terms of food, atmosphere, and price! Recommended! Just make sure if you get noodle soup you confirm it's with the veggie broth.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap

Cons: Possible long wait

Vegan-friendly chinese

I have been to this place three times already and that is was I learnt:
- always crowdy and have to wait (putdoors) to get seated
- almost half of the menu is vegan
- almost everything vegan is spicy
- spicy means very very very spicy
- portions are huge
- surprisingly cheap (3-4€ / portion)

My picks: noodles with peanut sauce and vegan steamed baos

Pros: something different, cheap

Cons: very spicy, a bit greasy
