A great adventure into Chinese cuisine and culture. I can highly recommend it. Note that even with the ViP package any drinks (including water) besides the tea will be charged extra.
What I thought would be an ordinary banquet turned out to be a spectacular performance by dancers and actors right before my eyes! Sichuan opera face-changing, Hanfu-clad water sleeves, martial arts performances... each act was followed by a dish, the pace perfectly timed, keeping me entertained. It was a very interesting and novel experience. The dishes were served with projected stories, demonstrations of how they were prepared, and exquisite tableware...✨ The atmosphere was perfectly captured! Each dish corresponded to a aspect of Chinese culture; it wasn't just about food, but also about experiencing culture. I definitely want to go back for a second time.
As a Chinese, I was also shocked. I originally wanted to experience the atmosphere, but I didn't expect that in addition to the performance, the food was also amazing. It really deserves the name of an immersive restaurant. If you go, be prepared. I was a little full at the end of the food because I was too hungry and ate too fast at the beginning. I want to take my children there next time. It will definitely be very fun.
Before going, I was worried the portions wouldn't be big enough, and I wouldn't be full. Actually, by the time the hot pot arrived, I was already stuffed, practically leaning against the wall. We went at noon, and the show officially started at 12:00. If you've bought makeup, I recommend arriving two hours early so you can change and put on makeup. If you don't, 30 to 40 minutes early is enough, so you can take photos and videos of the hallway. Enjoying the show while enjoying the food, the videos introduce the specialties of various regions across China, making you want to travel and enjoy the cuisine there. The waiters are also happy to take photos and videos with your phone. Each cuisine has its own corresponding tea, so we got to try teas from all over the world, which was a truly emotional experience.
Upon entering, the welcoming lady at the entrance hands everyone a "passport" menu. Scanning the menu reveals an AR panda chef, Cheng Baobao! There are plenty of photo spots in the lobby, and I highly recommend taking a photo with the 5D panda Chef Cheng Baobao on the large screen—it's beyond impressive! The food completely exceeded my expectations!
Immersive experience restaurant 🍴, first recommend Taste of China, beautiful food + visual feast, it is definitely worth a visit 👍
