At lunch, Monday to Friday, you fill your plate at the counter; in the evening you order from the menu.

2019
In October 2019, Haibin Liu opened a Chinese restaurant at Corso Elvezia 22.
Ever since, reviewers have talked about the owner, who looks after the dining room.
“great food and the owner is really friendly”
The counter
As early as 2020, lunch meant filling your plate at the counter, for a fixed price. It still does, Monday to Friday.
“On lunch time it's a buffet, … with a good choice.”
