“ A good option when miss asian food when travel in Rome. My family and I dined here in Feb 2025 on our way back from Vatican to our Hotel. The location is within walking distance from the Vatican. This restaurant serves dumplings, dimsums, noodles and soup. The dumplings have various kind of fillings. What is interesting is that some have italian ingridients such as saffron, zucchini and porcini. The dumplings filling and soup is nice. The dumpling skin is quite thick, so manage your expectation if you are fans of thin skin dumplings like me. I really like the soy sauce (salsa di soia Bao), it has a mix taste of salty soy sauce and tanginess of balsamic vinegar. The place is cozy and clean. The staffs are friendly. And the price is quite fair. The table next to ours eat dumplings and drink red wine. It’s a new sight for me, because in my country we eat dimsum and drink tea . It’s a nice experience to eat our cuisine in other country . ”
“ Food was tasty! I aspecially liked xoa fried bao buns!! Interior design is very cool and gives off a nice vibe. I saw many asians eating here that speaks for itself. We got very cold drinks which is cool when the weather is hot like today. ”
“ This restaurant was really good! If you ever visit in Rome, come eat here. Everything was tasty. The atmosphere was very cute! The service was great. Very easy to order with American menu. Highly recommended!! ”
“ Very delicious. Dumplings number 11 are very delicious. I regretted that I only ordered 10 pieces, but the kitchen was already closed by that time. All in all, I paid smth like 10€ for everything ”
“ Tried all different kind of dumplings! We really liked the wan tan soup and the bestseller dumplings (pork and chive). Unfortunately the edamame beans were overcooked. The coating of the fried chicken was kind of chewy/dry? I also would appreciate actual dishware instead of disposable dishes. ”
“ Very nice staff.. attentive and kind. I ate two types of dumplings. Loved the chicken dumplings.. the vegetarian dumplings were not great but okay. I would have preferred the hot sauce served with dumplings. It could enhance the taste way better than the sweet sauce they served with the dumplings.. i didn’t know i had to ask for it. rest were good. So don’t forget to ask them to serve you the hot tasty sauce if you prefer that.. ”
“ Came here twice during my stay, place is nicely decorated and has a nice cozy vibe to it. Staff was excellent all smiles and helpful at moments notice. Food was great and I enjoyed several items off the menu. Really cool that you can look into the kitchen to see staff making the ravioli by hand. Definitely a gem ”
