Restaurante Tien-Tan
One of the Barrio Chino’s best authentic Chinese restaurants, Tien-Tan (the ‘Temple of Heaven’) is run by a Chinese-Cuban couple and serves up an incredulous 130 different dishes. With such complexity you might have thought that you would be in for a long wait and that the food would, at best, be average. Thankfully, neither is the case. Try chop suey with vegetables or chicken with cashew nuts and sit outside in action-packed Cuchillo, one of Havana’s most colorful and fastest-growing ‘food streets.’

Chi Tack Tong
An aspiring Chinese restaurant situated in a large upstairs room in Calle Dragones, this place wins plenty of kudos for decor, with waitresses in Chinese-style dresses and a large painting of Sun Yatsen hung reverently on the wall. The downside is the menu, which is a little limited, particularly when compared to some of the Cuchillo joints nearby. As if to make amends, portions sizes are absolutely huge. Box up your leftovers.

La Torre de Marfil
Where have all the punters gone? Chinatown, perhaps? You feel sorry for the Marfil. Perfectly placed in Calle Mercaderes with smiling waiting staff and an inviting interior, it somehow always seems to be three-quarters empty. Brave the deserted interior and you’ll find that the chop suey and chow mein plates – when they arrive – are fresh, crisp and huge.

Dragon Court
This is the best fine-dining option for Chinese cuisine in MoBay, located in the modern Fairview Shopping Centre. The menu is replete with Chinese standards with a few standouts including the tempting crispy duckling with plum sauce and ‘reggae fish,’ with pimentos and other Jamaican spices.

Golden Happiness
Here you’ll find reasonable quality Chinese food, including a vast menu of chop sueys and sweet-and-sour dishes. The dining room is spartan, but it’s a good place to take in the hustle and bustle of West St – or to order take-out.

Restaurante El Dragón
Specializes in Chinese food, but there’s little selection and it’s not recommended for vegetarians. There’s sometimes live music after 8pm and there’s always a big gong to beat if the inspiration hits.

Guangzhou Restaurant
With an impressive view of the bay and a menu strong on seafood, this old favorite serves up a huge variety of Chinese, Thai and Mongolian dishes. Sample the scrumptious curried squid (US$12).

Dos Gardenias
You can choose from grill, Chinese and pasta restaurants in this complex, which is also famous as a bolero hot spot. Stick around to hear the singers belting out the ballads later on.

Yisan
Alright, so it’s not dim sum; but if you haven’t yet tried chicken chow mien with a mysterious Cuban twist then you haven’t really been to Ciego de Ávila.

El Gran Dragón
First on the left as you enter Cuchillo from Calle Zanja, this is as good an introduction as any to the energetic pulse of Havana’s Barrio Chino. Specialties include wonton soup, chop suey, chow mein and fried rice, and the prices come in at less than CUC$5 a dish. Spread over three floors and with alfresco dining options outside, this is a good place for vegetarians.
