As with most Chinese restaurants in Nairobi, this is certainly not authentic. It's very much an Indo-Chinese fusion that caters for the local populace, mostly Kenyan-Indians. It's actually located within the Nanchang Hotel, a Chinese one, which would make you think there might be one or two there... Aside from myself on a Sunday lunch service, I was all alone. We ordered Satay Prawns, Beef and Oyster Sauce, Chicken and Mushroom, and Egg Fried Rice. With a few drinks, the bill came to Ksh 3,500, which is reasonable, and unlike other restaurants, they include taxes etc. in the prices shown in the menu.
My initial concern with this place started when the waiter asked me, "Chilli? Mild, medium or hot?". I informed him that proper Beef and Oyster sauce and Chicken and Mushroom would not have chilli in it. Evidently, this was to cater for the Indian community, which is fair enough, but you cannot call it 'authentic'.
The portions, even for regular, are more than enough for 2 people, although the regular Egg Fried Rice wasn't enough. Service was generally good, but this was a Sunday lunch service, so who knows what it's like on a busy service with takeaway orders being taken. As for the food, I'd say only the Beef and Oyster sauce was OK, but nothing better than that. Both the beef and chicken was mainly shredded, which isn't how it should be. Also, the mushrooms were definitely out of a can. The prawns in the satay, was literally 'in the satay', totally drowning in it. This was probably because the prawns were not so fresh and/or they're not so sure how it's meant to be done. The way the dish comes out sizzling hot (spraying hot sauce on to anything within half a table radius) means the prawns are way overcooked by the time you're able to get near the plate. The sauce itself was also a bit disappointing, not very 'nutty', and other ingredients/flavours got in the way.
All in all, a bit of a disappointing meal. Despite its reputation amongst my friends for their ribs, these dishes weren't on par.
Having said all of that, the decor is pretty good, and they have nice balcony seats that has a nice view of NW Nairobi.
