Prague

Chinese restaurants in Prague

  1. A

    Hong Kong

    An impressively gaudy décor, with ornately carved wooden panels, an illuminated, painted-glass ceiling and red silk seat cushions, Cantonese pop music and a clientele that includes local Chinese families – it all smacks of authenticity. That extends to the mostly Cantonese menu, which, along with favourites such as dim sum, soy-sauce duck and salt-and-pepper shrimp, has such adventurous options as ‘cold sliced pork tongue with soy sauce’, ‘chicken with strange tastes’ and ‘chicken with five smells’.

  2. B

    Huang He

    One of the first authentic Chinese restaurants to open in the city in the early 1990s and still one of the best, Huang He is in lower Vrśovice, close to (if not actually in) Nusle. On crowded nights, the atmosphere is akin to a raucous Czech pub (a previous incarnation), and you’ll be tempted, like everyone else, to wash down that spicy chicken kung-pao with a half-litre or two of beer. Phone ahead to reserve a table.

    Čínská Zahrada

    'Chinese Garden' is a neighbourhood joint that’s just authentic enough to draw people from around the city. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see lines of Asian tourists streaming here at meal times. The very hot ‘dry fried chicken’ (pieces of chicken cooked on the bone in red pepper flakes) is one of the local favourites.
