If you are a representative of a business please make sure you say so before you make statements about your product/ service.

Overpriced and not tasty. I even got sick from the food.

I've only been there twice and still not sure what to think.

The Döner meat tastes pretty original which came as a big surprise (don't get the burger bread, go for the pita or the wrap).

The sauces could be a bit more aromatic and there should be more chili to put on the Döner.

Even if you insist the pre-cooked sausages are not grilled at all, so the whole idea of the Curry Sausage and grilled sausage gets lost.

Fries were great the first time, but soggy the second time.

Waffles were way to sweet and too much.

Haven't tried the ice-cream and the Turkish Ayran yoghurt yet.

All in all a good start, but there is room for improvement.

Prices are very low (I'd even say some stuff is way too cheap to be substainable).

Too bad it's a bit off the average laowai radar (and not that easy to find), but I'm sure Germans and Turks will pilgrimage to the Döner.

Taxi from Chengdu's south should've been RMB43. Driver managed to get lost somewhere and run the meter to RMB100! We settled for 60 at the end.

Taxis back don't want to run the meter and ask for RMB80! WTF!

With public transport it takes about 1.5h to get there or back if they have special non-stop shuttle buses to Jinsha that is.

Oh the place itself. Well the exhibition/museum is a joke, not worth going.

This gotta be the most underrated restaurant in Tongzilin.

I go at least once a week for the amazing Burmese spicy chicken curry RMB15/20 (big/small). Where in Chengdu do you get a lunch/dinner for that little? And yes it's good and some of the dishes you don't get anywhere else.

Nori the Japanese chef in the background makes sure the ingredients are clean, healthy with no additive (if possible), which is an important aspect considering the dirty kitchens even in upscale places. The food cost and thus value is much higher than other places.

My favorite:
Burmese Chicken
Thai curry
Korean dish (strange combo of pork, mushroom, tofu and egg, but surprisingly good).
Fresh ice cold lemonade

If you're done with the menu, try the daily special.

@Nori

Please make some more Japanese dishes like Katsu Don!

P.S. Since I'm extremely biased I didn't rate the places otherwise 4.5 stars

No cheese for months. What's going on? I asked the staff working there and the answer was indifference. Nobody seems to know or care.

Also car parking is free, bike parking you have to pay?

One star for this totally overpriced supermarket with a limited selection. The only good thing I can say about it is that the little baguette they sell is actually pretty edible.

I'd give it five for the food, ambience & the boss.

It's relatively cheap, good value, some creative dishes, but I hate that's so far away from the action in the south and outside toilet (why?).

Actually it's too good for most out there!

It's ok to get a bit of an idea of what was going on 3000 years ago, however
if you have enough time, try Sanxingdui instead (more impressive, but less educational)

I might be too early to rate this new venue. But it could have the potential to become the new place for live music once the owners get their act together and set up big live shows on a regular basis. It's bigger than the little bar, but the sound so far has been horrible. I hope they work on the issue and bring in some acts to fill the space at least once a week.

Best feature of this place is imo the little cinema room that you and your dozen friends can rent out for some customized film night.

The packaged food they sell seems to have been sitting a looooong time. If that's not 'compensation' enough for the relatively moderate prices the music WILL KILL you or make you KILL someone. I can't believe that once again that retarded LOUD music blasting from the crappy speakers made me so aggressive once again. Ok Walton bros you better start looking for a new job, coz I'm done with your crapphole.

crappy sichuanese dishes the "halal way". oily, expensive, slow, bad taste, I could go on....

It's been a long time since the last donut from lozzi, and this time the donut tasted like absolutely nothing, it's just air. And how much is that again? 5 kuai or more? You fail.

I would agree with the "caca" part, but don't know what the "ja" stands for, maybe some old Sanskrit for house making it the "House of Caca". Food is so so, the set menus for 2/3/4 persons aren't good value really, as the portions are tiny. Best dish palak paneer, the rest is not worth virtual space to mention. Drinks are cheap & terrace is ok if you like watching cars parking and passing by.

An "African" bar run by a lesbian, horrible idea and even worse execution. 10 squaremeters of non-sense, have fun.

Don't think the board games are a good thing. Also Machu opens later and later, no more lazy afternoons, rather early evenings.

@flyingvolcano
I just been there this week. No problem whatsoever. Don't know what you talking about. Maybe you got lost....
