Templul Soarelui
Address: 151 Mihai Eminescu
Phone: 211 16 93

Cuisine: Chinese
Prices: Moderate
How to get there: The restaurant is located close to the intersection between Mosilor and Mihai Eminescu. Get off at this intersection from the tram (21), the trolleybus (79, 86) or the bus (135, 133) and walk along Mihai Eminescu for about 5 minutes. The restuarant is on the right hand side.
Review: This restuarant has a pleasant location, with a reasonably-sized terrace out the front. The decor is what you'd expect from a typical chinese restaurant and the larger tables have a central rotating service plate; a nice touch.
The menu is extremely comprehensive and sometimes a little confusing. I found the layout to be cluttered and it was a little hard to take in all the options, which isn't always a good thing if you want to encourage people to try new dishes. This annoyance was further compounded by the fact that nothing I wanted to try was available. It's all very well have 200 dishes on the menu, but only if you can actually eat them. Furthermore, they didn't seem to have a clue what a prawn cracker was!
I found the service to be a little cold and unwelcoming, slow at times, and I can't say I was made to feel too good. The food, what was available, was quite tasty but not excessively good. Adequate would be a apt description, and the prices were pretty average being a little under 30 Euro for a meal for two. On a positive note the portions were ample.
To be honest, I'm not inspired to come here again. Next time I fancy some oriental food I think I'll go back to Thang Long, the Vietnamese near Foisorul de Foc, where the food is tastier and the service better.
