Reviewers rave about the Buzi di carne, a must-order dish that defines the menu. The overall vibe is warm, unpretentious, and deeply satisfying.

A new Chinese street food spot in Genoa with good dumplings and fried chicken, though some dishes are just okay.
Dishes mentioned
Pollo Fritto alla Sishuan
This fried chicken looks really well fried. There's a lot of it.
Buzi di Carne
This huge baozi — the first flavour you taste is wine or something alcoholic, but it's good. Maybe there's a bit too little filling compared to the dough, which is a shame.
Giaozi Integrale di Maiale
One dumpling exploded — very good. I like the dough. The filling is very flavourful, a really good dumpling. I wouldn't even add soy sauce.
Xiazi della Lanterna con Pesto
I wouldn't order it again. I expected worse, but shrimp and pesto in the end isn't so bad — but it can stay there for me. I'd move on to the others.
Xiazi della Lanterna con Maiale, Gamberi, Salsa di Pesce e Salsa Ostriche
A bit of dough, but overall the mix isn't bad.
