a month ago“Teksen Restaurant: Worth the Hype and the Wait!”Teksen is an absolute gem, but be ready for a wait—like, a long wait. The queue is no joke, so I highly recommend making an advance booking; it’ll save you from the line and get you to the delicious food faster.The menu is extensive, and as a foreigner, I couldn’t understand everything, but the staff were incredibly helpful. They walked me through every dish, making sure I knew what I was getting into. The atmosphere is traditional Chinese, giving it that authentic, old-world charm.The food? Chef’s kiss. Every plate we tried was spot on. Their signature double roasted pork with chili is a must-try; it’s no wonder this place is Michelin-recommended! The prices are reasonable, and they even accept credit cards, which is a plus.The drinks were great too, perfectly complementing the meal. If you’re planning to visit, my advice: make a reservation and show up early. This place is popular for a reason, and you don’t want to miss out!

2 weeks agoWorth the hype! Arrive early or prepare to wait - it’s absolutely worth it, a gem of a restaurant! The stars on the menu will guide you to the favorites. Every bite is Phenomenal - order medium size dishes so you can taste more of them, 4 dishes is solid, 6 will provide an absolute feast for 2 diners.

a month agoIt is very nice restaurant! Great taste. The seats get filled very quickly. We had three dishes with one fired rice. They were perfect. The home recipe double roasted pork with chili was our favorite.

3 weeks agoWe visited the store on Saturday around 7 PM and waited about 30 minutes in the queue. Unfortunately, our dishes were a bit cold when served, but we loved the vegetables, as they were the only dish that arrived piping hot. Overall, it was a great experience, although we were seated at a table right next to the washroom alley and kitchen entrance, which made our dinner a bit uncomfortable due to the constant flow of people passing by.

2 months agoTouristy, but excellent food.Prices are very reasonable.Can recommend the double roasted pork and the stir-fry garlic broccoli.If you want the best chance of getting a seat I would recommend getting there at 5:15, as shortly after the line starts getting very long.
