Very good food selection and very authentically Chinese from mainland China style but I need to give one less star because of the place is very very dirty specially the toilets. Try the mala tofu is very worth it.

Delicious food! I tried the spicy beef/frog leg stew, dumplings and some type of potato dish. I didn’t know the stew had frog legs until after I finished it! Haha but i really couldn’t tell the difference between the the meats. It was delicious and very spicy! If you want to try some good Chinese food, definitely check this place out! Oh- they don’t serve alcohol but I think you can bring your own.

Amazing. I've never had Chinese food like this. Get the sopa de cabeza de merluza, It was the shining star of the meal. You will see it on every other table in the restaurant too. The fried rice was incredibly light, we got it with mariscos and it was super tasty. And don't skip the veggies - the okra, OMG - I don't know what they do to it, but it is the perfect texture and tastes delicious. Highly recommended, worth the short trip to Usera.
