"I am 65 years old and from New York and waited all this time and traveled to Austria to find the best Chinese food I have ever eaten.I have a strict rule to only eat the local cuisine when traveling but this place looked so inviting I refused to pass it up and after all: "Rules are made to be broken". It is an old style family owned Chinese restaurant with wait service, table cloths, and serenity. These places have been pretty well replaced by take-outs, and low quality buffets in America.It was a pleasure to enjoy decor and style, quality food and service that can no longer be taken for granted.The wood walls and stain glass were awesome. The service was prompt and friendlybut not rushed. I ordered a soup that consisted of fine broth with huge shrimp. This was followed by delicious steamed doughy dumplings served in a bamboo basket.I was given a whole pot (not a cup) of fresh brewed tea. My main course was magnificent. A whole pound of boned barbecued succulent duck slices over a bed of vegtabales.Wow!The only thing that was not Mandarin Chinese was a Vieneese dessert which was a ball of premium ice cream rolled in crushed hazelnuts with an appricot center. The entire dinner was apx $25. It is in a residential neighborhood just bordering the main tourist section, only a bloch from the famous Catholic Church.My only complaint is that I came back on Monday and they had closed at 3pm (1500hrs), so call for hours before you go. Many restaurants in Vienna outsidethe tourist zone close early, close on Mondays or are only open for dinner etc..To the local residents I say: Patronize this gem before it gets replaced by a self serve plastic joint with cardboard containers."
