Come here knowing what you're expecting for this price range ($260), cause that is exactly what you'll get. Try the Baos first, then go for the rest. For dessert go for the ice cream, not the cake.
I'm doing an update: I've returned here on the 2nd of August, 2019. Quality is still great. Price got up, but that is just an economic reaction, all prices go up.
Will come back, sooner than this time though. Daily menu is $380: main dish, iced tea and dessert.
Also, the banana cake doesn't seem like much but it was excellent.

The best asian food in BA. Honestly some of the best Taiwanese food I’ve had, ever. They use high quality ingredients, no MSG, and organic chicken and eggs.
MUST TRY:
- Pork belly gua bao. Omg so delicious!
- Lu rou fan, aka minced pork on rice with pickled cabbage and a marinated free range egg
- Huntun soup with homemade noodles

After travelling without Asian food for 2 months, I was so pleased to find and choose this place for lunch on a weekday. Food is top notch as is the service. Very friendly chit chat. Menu spans east Asia and the signature bao is to die for. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing. There's no need to go into details, the food is very special, and very flavoured. I'd tried the gaobao sandwiches. And I'm definitely going back to try out the rest of the menu!

The Gua Bao is a must try. Really nice cooked braised pork belly with steamed bun. Taiwanese style. However the beef noose was really average.a little bit disappointing. Probably should try the ru ro rice instead. Still overall it’s an authentic Chinese restaurant and suits for everyone

Better than average for Asian food in Buenos Aires. The food is decent (again, better than average for Asian food in BA) and the location is nice -- there aren't tons of other great options near Plaza San Martin. Bun was disappointing but daily special was quite good.
I'd give it four stars but the atmosphere is off. The Falun Gong promo is a bit aggressive for my tastes. There's a television in the dining room running infomercials and they hand out promo brochures as you check out. Falun Gong is fine with me, but it's a bit much if you're just trying to eat.

Fast, attentive, friendly service and excellent dishes at reasonable prices! We enjoyed our veggie food and the pork baos.
