Leon De Oro - Bilbao

We went there for a quick Sunday lunch. We ordered a popular rice noodle dish with vegetables, chinese eggplants and dumplings. All the dishes were very good and authentic. I particularly enjoyed the noodles. The eggplants were very good, although I think adding some spicy ingredient would definitely improve them. Prices are moderate. The restaurant is kind of tacky (and the TV was too loud , but in some sense this reminded us the setting of an average restaurant in an average Chinatown in the US : It was great to have a very-close-to authentic Chinese lunch in the heart of Bilbao.

It got to be the worst meal I have had in years,it’s a horrible old fashion room that Is just terrible

La comida no está del todo mal pero el servicio es de lo peor que he visto en todo Bilbao. Nos atendió una camarera oriental que se reía de que nuestros platos tardasen más de una hora en salir y cuando les dijimos que nos marchabamos aparecieron de repente con la comida. Vergonzoso. Food is not that bad but the service is awful. The oriental waitress who served us found it funny that we had to wait more than an hour for our food and whenever we told them we were leaving they brought it right away. Worst experience I haver ever had in Bilbao.

I haI have been on two occasions and both times I liked all the food, The place is not especially cozy but the staff is nice and helps to choose the menú. The restaurant is recommended by a famous Basque chef and you can read the review he wrote in a newspaper attached to the front door

Es un restaurante chino auténtico, al que también van a disfrutar oriundos de China. En general cocinan muy bien, además de los platos típicos como el rollito primavera, hay muchos más platos, muy interesantes, que no encontrarás en un restaurante asiático al uso, como el plato hecho a mano , un dry pot de col, para chuparse los dedos. Son muy conocidas sus empanadillas de la casa (a la plancha con vapor). El personal es amable y atento, y la relación calidad precio es muy buena (no es un sitio caro).
