Chinabar

We visited Chinabar yesterday as a family of six, and overall it was a great experience. I’m a big fan of Chinese cuisine, and when I first saw the name of the restaurant, I immediately wanted to go there. However, after looking at the menu, I was a bit disappointed at first. The name made me expect more traditional Chinese food, but the menu is quite modern and includes a big mix of different cuisines — not only Asian, but also European. That said, I was still able to find dishes that felt traditional with a few modern touches. I ordered beef cheeks and braised beef with noodles. I specifically asked for the dishes to be spicier, as the menu only says “🌶️ hot,” which usually means quite mild by European standards. I really enjoyed both courses. For dessert, I chose a very creative and refreshing Baileys–mango lassi dessert, which was excellent. My family members were especially surprised by the banana show — we didn’t expect the banana to be flambéed right in front of us. It was a very nice experience. Overall, I was very impressed and can definitely recommend this place.

Great food! Ordered the couscous tofu and tuna sashimi, as well as a vegetable curry. The staff was so friendly and made the curry on special request. Highly recommend!

A great little place worth the stop. The menu is full of creative takes on traditional Chinese cuisine. So be adventurous and dive in.

Best authentic chinese chicken liver dish I had in Vienna. Comes with seasonal veggies. Very kind service. Also lots of veggie meals.

We got here at 11PM on a Sunday night, our last night visiting Vienna. Hungry and without any other options, we decided to order a few plates of spicy noodles. They turned out to be some of the best noodles we had anywhere, and the staff was very welcoming and kind. Definitely a hidden gem, everyone should give this place a try, especially on late nights with few options.

Not bad, decent small Asian Restaurant, tried dumplings and duck and both OK, friendly staff, pleasant environment, 10 dumplings 16euro,

The chairs were not very comfortable, and the food quality was just average. The staff were friendly but a bit slow, and the food didn’t arrive at the same time — some people were already finishing their meals while others were still waiting to be served.

Cool restaurant with friendly waiters. The food is a bit pricey and not everything on the menu is a good choice. Consider the food carefully before choosing to order it.

We went there based on a Vienna Würstelstand (Facebook blogazine) recommendation and we booked through delinski to save 30% on the bill. First impressions were good as the outside seating area is nice and spacious. The menu looked interested and the starter section looked pretty pricey so we skipped it (ice dream factory is a few doors away :D ). Is ordered calamari risotto and Marina (the gf) ordered calamari and homemade noodles. My meal was black with squid ink... I missed that on the menu. Not a problem but I may have ordered differently if I saw that. Taste was pretty good. But as it was so black it kind of ruined the visual side of enjoying the meal. Plus hard to tell how much calamari there was. Marinas food was good but pretty spicy. I think if you order via delinski it is ok price wise. Otherwise, for the quality I wouldn't go there again. Unless I booked through delinski to drink beer in their garden

Great Branzino special. Took a while to come out but we then realized everything was made from scratch. Super fresh and delicious. Lots of vegetarian options! My online suggestion would be bring back the Brooklyn IPA.

Very small restaurant and I definitely don't recommend going there during the winter. During the summer might not be as bad because they have tables outside. The food is more expensive compared to other restaurants considering the price, food quality and service. I don't find it worth it to eat here. I had dumplings and it took forever to arrive at our table even though there were not that many people there at that time. I waited for about half an hour before asking them if they had forgotten about my order. They replied saying that it would be ready in a moment. I ended up waiting for another half an hour for 6 dumplings that were already cold and the skin was hard. The smoked tofu salad that I ordered was also dissapointing because it was waaay toooo salty :( I am sorry to say that I will not be going back there anymore and I wouldn't recommend here.

I've only been to China Bar once, for an Aperol spritzer one afternoon, and it took FOREVER to get that drink. After my friend and I sat down, it was easily 10 minutes before anyone came to the table, then another 20 or so before we got our drinks. (No exaggerating.) They weren't even busy... I'm not sure what was going on, but for a mediocre Aperol spritzer, I can find a table in the shade elsewhere in the Seventh District. Granted, the food smelled and looked amazing, so I do plan to go back at some point and give them a second chance. The outdoor seating is nice, and the signs on their bathrooms are worth a second trip.. Each bathroom, women's and men's, has a picture of a different flower to indicate which room it is. It's a totally quirky, unique way to differentiate (and label) the restrooms, although children might have a hard time "getting it" - parental supervision advised!

I only go to China Bar when its nice enough to sit outside. Sitting inside is too smoky and the service is TERRIBLE - I can mind terrible service when I'm at least outside. Food is good, but small portions for the price. It shouldn't take 25 minutes for a beer though.

I went here today after hearing mixed reviews. I had hoped it would be good but unfortunately I will never head back here again. I ordered a "Bang" Noodle dish which came with plastic intertwined in my dish. Not just a small piece but a giant piece of melted plastic. Health and safety concerns aside the service was horrible. I was offered no consolation or no amendment to the price even though I did not finish my dish once I discovered this plastic. If you serve me bad food with garage or trash in it and bad service then I will not come back. If you come here, I seriously hope you do not experience what I had to. Its overpriced for the quality and its not like the service or atmosphere makes up for it.
