凱旋門小吃 Kaixuan

The wonton soup is OK. Cabbage is not tasty and very salty. The service was the worst one we got in the whole wide Barcelona. The young guy was shouting when we requested an extra spoon. He was rude to his colleagues, too. Fortunately he left the restaurant before we finished the food so we did not have to face him again.

There were a few Chinese restaurants in this area of Barcelona. We tried this one, the food was great, not greasy at all and surprisingly had that unique hot wok flavor with the noodle dishes. The prices are very affordable, and honestly we didn’t expect much service with this price range

Came already a couple of times, because I like their menu, and it doesn’t disappoint.

A bastion of comfort for those who need it!I'd like to address some common complaints about Chinese restaurants:"The service is bad/not what I expected.": Many Chinese restaurants are opened by immigrants who had to learn a second, third, or even fourth language. That being said, it's not uncommon for Chinese restaurant staff to be rude/overbearing. Really, as a true Chinese foodie I look for comments about rude staff as a benchmark of whether the restaurant is legitimate. Obviously, in a hyper competitive market like mainland China in other Asian countries great service is a way for restaurants to stand out. Most restaurants are just trying to do their best, so please have patience."The food is greasy.": As someone who loves European food, I can tell you that there is SO MUCH FAT. It's what makes food taste good! Cheese is greasy, jamon is greasy, and croissants are basically half butter. People are just not used to how fats are incorporated into Chinese cuisine. Fats and oils are mediums used to unite the unlimited combination of ingredients and flavors into a tasty dish. There are definitely Chinese restaurants who pride themselves in using less fats and oils but your best bet would be to find someone to make you a home cooked meal.About this restaurant:I appreciate that this restaurant is open at non-Spanish hours, like between breakfast time and non and during siesta. On a rainy day, the wonton soup was perfect. This is where real Chinese people go to eat. I would recommend! It's 5 minutes away from the bus station and extremely affordable.

If you are on a budget and want to eat noodles, this is the place. The meat is tasty, but the soup is nothing special. It just really makes you full, as it’s a big serving.
