Very delicious, the Chinese stomach said very 🉑! The waiter is also very enthusiastic
Today I came to visit the Grand Mosque, a famous attraction in Abu Dhabi. This place is really great, so there are a lot of people. People from all over the world come here to visit. You can enter by making an appointment at the door. You also need to pay attention to your dress. After entering, you have to go through security checks and then you can go to the square. It is really big inside, suitable for checking in and taking pictures, very photogenic! #Very suitable place for taking pictures

A very good restaurant, with complimentary lettuce and bread before the meal, attentive service, and delicious food.
Authentic Middle Eastern food in Abu Dhabi, you need to queue up during meal time
The price is relatively cost-effective, 100+ RMB per person
🐶There are 20,000+ reviews on the site, a 40-year-old restaurant,
Most of the people who come to eat are locals
🍖The best grilled meat platter, grilled shrimp, beef, lamb and chicken, served with bread, except for the lamb which has a bit of mutton smell, the others are more in line with Chinese tastes
🫘Hummus, garlic sour cream and Arabic salad are all very sour, I really can't get used to it.
🌹Rice pudding has a strong rose essential oil smell, which reminds me of the vanishing cream my mother used when I was a child...
🍹Mixed milkshake This is good, a mixture of avocado, strawberry jam, mango, etc., it doesn't taste too sweet, second place in the whole venue🥈

A highly-rated restaurant known for its authentic Chinese flavors
Verified user reviews
When we arrived in the United Arab Emirates, we went to eat at a Chinese restaurant near our apartment that night😭😭Why? Because it was really dark the first two days, a lot of bad things happened, and I was exhausted, so I decided to have Chinese food that night to be sure of the surprise. As soon as I entered, I knew it was a Chinese restaurant opened by a friend from Fujian. After I sat down, I ordered 4 dishes.
Hot and Sour Noodles: Unfortunately, they are only sour but not spicy. Average rating
Beef noodles: good
Dry pot tea tree mushroom: average
Saliva chicken: average
So I can’t give too high marks
In addition, ask the boss lady to exchange money. Compared with the outside world, it is better to go to the bank to withdraw money yourself😛

A Gem in old Abu Dhabi
China restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Abu Dhabi. It has been running for 30+ years which is almost the same age as the UAE itself and there’s a reason for it!
The food is excellent, the staff are excellent and the value for money is excellent.
If you want to visit a restaurant which is not the usual ‘high end mall, plastic fantastic experience’, where you end up paying AED 200 for 3 pieces of steamed Shumai, then China restaurant is the place to go. It shines in the old part of Abu Dhabi and is full of Asian tourists.
I highly recommend a visit!
