Reviews ‪chinalicious Restaurant‬

Amazing hot pot...spring rolls were very crispy..food is fresh and unique taste..food is not that heavy too..its proper for 1 person depending on what you order...one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in rak..I always prefer going to chinalicious.

We ordered sweet potato noodles that was an authentic preparation with sauces and minced chicken. Along with it we enjoyed the hot & spicy fried chicken which wasnt oily nor too spicy as the chef used Chinese pepper. I have to mention the aromas in the place as we entered convinced us we had made the right choice and if we want authentic Chinese food in RAK we will surely revisit this place.

Super delicious food! The delivery is very quick and food arrives hot and tasty. For me the best Chinese food in Ras al Khaimah and will order again!

Best Chinese food in Rak! The shrimp fried rice and spicy fish were our favorite. With the right amount of seasoning, most dishes were very tasty. The owner and the staffs were very efficient and friendly. They deliver food promptly. Can't say enough about their excellent service. The only improvement needed would be on the meats, the lamb and beef is a bit chewy, although the flavor was great.

by far, the most authentic Chinese cuisine I've had in the UAE.

well-prepared food made of quality ingredients. soups are fit for four-to-five people; where mains and sides are good for two. amazing value for money.

friendly staff; very alert. clean and pleasant atmosphere.

although our egg-fried rice was a little salty, literally, only one less grain of salt would've made it perfect.

in conclusion, I see myself becoming a regular at Chinalicious.

Chinalicious Restaurant in Al Hamra was a completely unexpected surprise for me and a very welcome one as well. In fact as we walked in, there was a large Chinese family tucking into what seemed like a delicious meal. There was another young family enjoying a large Chinese hot pot meal. It looked very promising

This restaurant serves authentic Chinese cuisine and I mean AUTHENTIC. It seems to be a family run restaurant with Chinese nationals working back of house doing the actual cooking. The diners can actually get a proper view of what's happening in the kitchen if you are seated downstairs. There's also a large seating area upstairs with more family style seating & more privacy.

We ordered the chicken dumplings as a starter with the braised lettuce and the braised fish as a main course with white rice. The dumplings and the braised lettuce came first and they were both pretty good. The chicken dumplings had a soft wrapping and once you cut into them to get to the filling, it looked good with chicken & some green leafy veggies. For a dipping sauce there was a soy sauce combination with something I just couldn't place.... Maybe fish sauce. The dumplings were a little bit tricky to eat with the chopsticks but we kept trying.

I really liked the braised lettuce in oyster sauce and it's the type of dish that you just do not find in these run of the mill indo Chinese restaurants that are all over the place. The lettuce even after having been cooked in the sauce retains a bit of crunch. The sauce is neither heavy nor overly spicy.... It's a very healthy and flavourful dish. It's in many ways a perfect accompaniment with white rice. Luckily the fish dish came in just as we were about to start getting anxious.

The photos clearly show that it was an impressive addition to our table. When we ordered the dish, the server said we would be getting 2 'small' fishes cooked whole but the chef gave us one much bigger fish for the two of us. The fish was flash fried first before being braised in a dark sauce that had all the usual flavor tones of Chinese cooking : sweet, sour, salt and bitter. The fish was well cooked and very well prepared and therefore we were able to easily use our spoon to take it off the bone and because it was flash fried, the skin did have a slight firm texture. The sauce went very well with the rice.

Portions were all pretty big and I paid AED 133.50 (6.50AED was the VAT charge for the meal). I think it was excellent value for money in terms of size and taste. The service was a little bit slow but the meal and the courteous service more than made up for it. One of the chefs & possibly a part owner was kind enough to come to our table and enquire about the quality of
food. I have to say the food is also very healthy.

P.S. - During our 2nd visit we had the chicken noodles, hot and sour chicken soup, egg fried rice and the hot & spicy fish with chilli oil. The fish was amazing and a huge portion for just AED 42 ... Spicy and flavor without being ridiculously hot. The spicy broth will open up any clogged sinuses.

I'm definitely going to make this a regular stop of mine when I'm in the mood for Chinese cuisine and am recommend it to people who want authentic Chinese cuisine.
