Giardino D'Oro

We've been going there for 15 years. The food is very good, light and tasty. The lady serving tables is professional and always attentive. The prices are reasonable. I recommend the grilled veal with vegetables and the Chinese beer.

For years it has been our reference restaurant for traditional Chinese cuisine. The Owner will be able to advise you on the specialties of the House. The cuisine is fast and the service is punctual. The unmissable specialties that you must try are the "hundred-year-old eggs" and the stuffed bread "baozi". Highly recommended.

Excellent Chinese restaurant. The best in Genoa! The shrimp ravioli and shrimp salad are excellent, and the spring rolls are crispy and delicious! The first and second courses are exceptional! Excellent food quality. I also recommend the fried Nutella!

Chinese restaurant that offers excellent dishes, tasty and very digestible. Very kind owner, fast and precise service. Honest prices.

Having frequented pseudo-Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurants (where my test of quality is also tasting a hot dish), I've somewhat lost my habit of "classic" Chinese restaurants, the ones that, when I was younger, were the affordable alternative to the pizzeria for eating out on a shoestring. Giardino D'Oro has always been a favorite destination for my parents, even though they weren't fans of exotic food and came from Sampierdarena, where there were and still are some decent places; and yet they came all the way to the city center on purpose! Since I live just steps away, as often happens, I choose more distant destinations, but the other evening my brother and I returned partly for nostalgia's sake and partly to see if the management was still the same. Luckily, that's the case: the menu offers dishes that aren't exactly commonplace, you wait for the preparation time, and each course has a different flavor! Anyone who frequents Chinese cuisine knows that these parameters alone are enough to assess the value of a place. Those who only eat spring rolls and expect the flavor of a standard product (because it's frozen and distributed by wholesalers along with many other products) are better off sticking to familiar restaurants. Note: I don't like Chinese mushrooms because I find them slimy, but the ones in my frog and vegetable terrine—pictured—were finally edible! All the ingredients were of good quality.

Highly recommended for the entire experience. It's a small restaurant, which doesn't mean everything is not delicious. As soon as you walk in, they ask for your green card and take your temperature. Once at your table, the waitress is very friendly and answers any questions you may have. The dishes come out very quickly and on time. The soy sauce is delicious, and the sweet and sour sauce is a bit different from what I've tried before, but also very tasty. We ordered a €15 menu (minimum 4 people) that included 10 different dishes. The truth is, they were all very good, and the portions were good (we had some leftover food from some dishes). I recommend it and we will definitely return.

Excellent Chinese trattoria, small but very welcoming and clean. It feels like a family-run restaurant, which, in my opinion, is an added bonus. Both the owner and the waitress are very helpful and kind. The dishes are excellent, cooked quite well. After trying many Chinese restaurants, I can say that every dish here has its own unique flavor, truly delicious. If you like bold flavors, I recommend the garlic pasta—it's amazing. Fair prices.

Always excellent! Update April 2024: Still the best Chinese restaurant, with dishes typical of the owners' village. They offer a variety of dishes, but the prices have gone up a bit too much. 🥲🥲🥲. We'll be ordering one less dish. UPDATE: Tonight (9/8/25) we had the Peking Duck: delicious! Must be ordered a few days in advance.
