Sheyan

Area is lovely, choose to sit outside under the windmill if you can. The waiters are polished and patient The food is rather mediocre. Texture, flavor, and portion size were all underwhelming. Not to mention prices... Won't be going back unless they change chefs

We went there for dinner while vacationing Israel. The food was delicious. The service was super fast (must of been pre cooked) and the waiter was very available and nearby at all times. They have a lazy Suzie in the middle of the round tables so that was fun for the kids. The atmosphere is elegant. We did sit right near the speaker which made it hard to hear but we enjoyed the evening

So here is a review from a southern-Chinese Jew... This is as close as you can get to kosher authentic pan-Chinese food in a Jerusalem restaurant. The chef is specialized in Northern Chinese food, which is heavier tasting than Southern. Since the level of seasoning and menu are reasonably adapted to Israeli preferences, if you are Chinese and know in advance what to order off the menu, that'd be even more authentic. Otherwise, stick with what they have. The wontons were good. The soup base was saltier than I'm used to. We ordered their best selling chicken nuggets with pineapples in a sweet sauce. They could consider adding more sauce and making the taste a little stronger. It is quite well fried, not oily at all. In Hong Kong, this dish is also made with bits of red bell peppers and green bell peppers for colour. I ordered 水煮牛肉 off the menu which is *kinda* like the idea of Moroccan fish, but it’s Chinese beef. Basically beef pieces in a spicy sauce. I took home the leftovers and mixed the sauce and the beef with thick rice noodles - it's PERFECT, despite a missing spice which they didnt have in the kitchen. Don't order it if you're not ready for spicy and oily, that’s just how this Northern Chinese dish is. (Thanks to the owner and to the chef for accommodating the request. You rock.) The fried rice that comes with the business lunch is pretty regular, it's steamed and mixed with certain ingredients, not "actually fried" rice, from what I can tell. But I suspect that the fried rice that you can order as a main dish is actual fried rice. Update: they no longer provide the not-fried rice. Only real fried rice main dish. They have a great ginger ale that's not artificial. If it weren't so hot in Jerusalem i wouldve liked a tea, just like in any Chinese meal. I wish they had more authentic Chinese desserts but I was full by then anyway. Overall, I'm glad to have paid multiple visits, lunch was a good time to go. I wouldn’t judge it by real Chinese standards, but it’s 5 stars considering what's available in Israel.

Its one of the higher end places I know. From start to finish service is top notch. Kind of America level service if you know what I mean. Food is good and tasty. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Reliable spot for over 20 years(?).

The food was great, but the service was awful. No one paid attention to us the entire evening—we had to keep calling the staff just to place our order and later to pay the bill. And then they even had the nerve to ask for a service charge. The loud so-called music ruined the atmosphere. I really hope they improve things, because the food, decor, and location are excellent.
