Chinese restaurant in Athens

There are very few Chinese restaurants in Athens. They are mainly located in the district of Metaxourgeio, next to Omonia. Surprising for a city of this size but the Greeks are not so fond of Asian cuisine, the Chinese hold clothing stores and not restaurants. I have tested one of this restaurant, i have to admit that i was a little disappointed, the level of the kitchen is not nearly as good as the French Chinese restaurants for example. Nems are frozen, the choice of dishes is quite small, not even spring rolls ... and everything is quite expensive. If the Greeks should be more open to foreign cuisines, the Chinese restaurants should also make some effort. In fact it's in the street that you will find the most interesting Chinese food, in Metaxourgio around a big building called 'Chinatown', next to Pireas avenue, in the south of Omonia square. There they sell real street Chinese food, they normally sell this food only for the chinese, and they will be surprised if you ask them something, but you should really dare to ask and try their foods, that can seem a bit strange in the appearance but that is really delicious, try the stuffed crepe, just great!
