The Best Chinese Restaurants in Moscow

Welcome to Shanghai in the heart of Moscow. A brand new restaurant is a modern Asian creation of the Chinese Chef, Jimmy Li, who moved to Moscow directly from Shanghai and headed in a short period of time. The menu carries a decidedly typical Chinese character. The food is authentic and tasty. Jimmy uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients to create flavorsome courses. We highly recommend you to book a table in advance. The interest among the locals is growing very fast.

Another modern restaurant in the center of Moscow with the spirit of Hong Kong bars and restaurants is on the top floor of the highest buildings in the world—the 24th floor of Holiday Inn Hotel in Sokolniki district. Serving yum cha, cocktail jugs, and green tea during the day, Hong Kong operates more as a modern Asian diner in the evening. The bar menu is very huge and you can literally order anything your soul craves. The dining menu is rich. Chef Dmitry Shurshakov’s mains are just as inventive—try the crispy Peking duck, spring rolls with lime leaf and rice vinegar syrup, or typical Chinese ice cream with a low fat level and coconut cream.

Madame Wong is a Chinese cuisine restaurant opened by the team of restaurateurs “Zotman&Ko:” Dmitry Zotov, Sergey Krylov, and Rinat Kuzin. There are a great variety of Southeast Asian dishes on the menu. A special focus on the menu is on healthy food. This restaurant is a place for dynamic, modern, and outgoing people. Daytime weekends are good for those who wish to spend time with family but are tired of pelmeni and borsch and want to get new gastronomic experiences. The evenings here are great for cocktails and dim sums.

Undoubtedly one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the heart of Moscow, the experimental recipes of this restaurant have been developed according to the most ancient Chinese rituals and traditions. For example, the roast duck is prepared Peking style and served with spicy salad, fresh onion, and cucumber. The kitchen makes all the hallmarks of China’s regional cuisine, including drunken chicken, dumplings, dim-sum, and egg tarts. Please book a table here in advance, as it’s very hard to get one.

A true spirit of Sichuan regional food is right in the historical district of Moscow, near the river. The dishes are simple, many with just three elements—Bok Choy, elastic noodles, or chicken—yet they have an incredible depth of flavor and spice. Try the Sichuan pepper-blasted Chong soup of Qing, one of Sichuan’s traditional courses. The look and feel of the restaurant—dark walls and red seatings—is also traditional.
