Follow me on instagram: HighExpecTASTEion Any time you find a restaurant that serves Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Shark Fin Soup (bit controversial) and Peking Duck, you can be sure that it is an authentic chinese restaurant. You might see some restaurants that claim to serve Peking duck, as I experienced in a certain 5* hotel, but let me tell you, it is not supposed to taste like KFC. For peking duck, it should have a crispy skin with a bit of fat between the skin and meat.This is one of those restaurants where the item might look plain on the menu but it is full of flavour and thats what chinese cooking is supposed to taste like. You won’t find much oil on the plate, and certain you won’t find dishes like Manchurian chicken here.For this reason I recommend you go with someone who is actually Chinese and they can recommend proper dishes for you. You know you are in the right place when you enter and see that the crowd is all Chinese. Try to save some room in your stomach for the desserts, they are quite excellent.
Fantastic Dim Sum, is only provided on Friday morning. Very authentic Cantonese or HongKong Dim Sum. Tasty! Yummy! And the portion is larger than normal in HongKong. Definitely will come again.
went there with my family for lunch, it costs us approximate 500 for 4. The food is not good at all and very expensive.Especially the sweet and sour chicken with pineapple,it is very sour and salty.I can say this is the worst Chinese restaurant i have ever tried.If you want to try the Chinese food,i do not recommend you going there.
Went in s Friday morning for their dim sum. Food wise, choice is plenty. Taste is so-so, it is still not as good as the traditional Canton style. Service is not up to standard. No one will refill your tea pot when it is empty. Price on the other hand is reasonable, 500AED for 6 adults
The only thing more authentic than eating at New times is going to China and eating.Don’t go expecting to have the usual Chinese you have at all multi cuisine restaurants.Personally not a great fan but was a different experience.But everyone else seemed to enjoy the authentic experience.Ambience was not the best.
The best Chinese restaurant in Dubai & they have a lot of varieties to make you confused. Things are authentic & tasty as in China especially the stir fry.
This restaurant serves excellent, authentic Chinese-Chinese food…as opposed to Indo-Chinese food and/or Fusion-Chinese food. Styled in the same grand fashion as so many restaurants in mainland China, you’d be excused for thinking you were actually in China – in fact, for a minute I thought the girls at the front desk were going to ask me to show them my visa. My fellow foodie and I were the only non-Chinese in the restaurant throughout the time we were there.In keeping with what seems to be the norm of such restaurants in China, there are a number of private rooms upstairs which can be hired out for groups, romantic couples and paranoid individuals. Adding further to the general Asian ambiance is a wall made up of aquariums of fish, crab, lobsters and other creatures of the deep. Absolutely brilliant.On being seated you are presented with a large, super glossy menu (thankfully) full of pictures of the dozens of dishes on offer – most of which will be totally alien to you (as they were to me) – but all with little English subtitles no doubt courtesy of Google Translate – so keep the menu after you’ve ordered to amuse yourself with until your food arrives. It really is a hoot. You also have bowls of cold, cooked peanuts and tofu strips put on the table as complementary starters. The peanuts are amazing…and addictive. And there’s nothing else on the table – no salt, pepper, chilli sauce, soy sauce – nothing but chop sticks. Hmm.We were ultra conservative when ordering, sticking to the things we knew or recognised such as the stir-fried chilli chicken, stir-fried noodles with shredded potato (and something else which I can’t remember), and stir-fried baby spinach – and before anyone says anything yes, I realise everything was stir-fried. What can I say, we panicked a little. I leave adventure to when I have a Chinese companion who can help with the ordering…and communicating. Thankfully everything we ordered was simply fantastic and both of us ate heartily. Portion sizes are HUGE. We could comfortably have fed another two with the same amount of food and still have had some left over – thank goodness for take home parcels – waste not, want not my Gran always said.Service was a little confusing as the majority of the staff do not understand English nor does sign work beyond drinking from an imaginary glass – I want a drink, and writing in the air with an imaginary pen – bill please. So we had to wait for one of the Pilipino girls to show up to get what we wanted. This turned out to be a little bit of a challenge as the staff rushed about attending to the steady stream of Chinese tourists which an obvious contract kept bring in and taking out. But once they understood what we wanted everything was chop chop quick.Hey, but everyone understood us loud and clear once food was put on our table – Mmm means the same just about everywhere – with or without Google Translate.
