Just don't go there...Being mentioned in Rough Guide Cuba as an excellent place in Centro Havana, they do not have any incentive to make an effort it seems... Apart from being rude, they try to force you into buying the tourist menu (surprise: the most expensive one) and if you do not give in, the waitress goes away without even... More

We were not expecting much when stopping to have lunch in Havana's Chinatown, but we were presently surprised when we stopped in at Tien Tan. The host standing outside the restaurant did a good selling job by saying the chef was from Shanghai to ensure that we knew it was going to be authentic. We had various noodle and rice... More

Arrived on a very wet Cuban evening and after running the gauntlet passed the other restaurants (all offering one and in some cases 2 free drinks with our meal) we opted for Tien Tan as it had a rave review in The Rough Guide. We decided to sit outside as even though it was raining it was under cover and... More

Went here last year, I had seen it in a Havana guide book and thought of giving it a try. We went here very late on a Monday and besides us the only other people their were actually Chinese, So you know it must be good. Majority of the restaurants in "Barrio Chino" don't really offer authentic Chinese, its more... More

Getting through the restaurant gauntlet in Barrio Chino is no easy task, but it was worth it to find this restaurant. About half of the guests were Chinese which I took to be a promising sign, and we weren't disappointed. It was some of the best Chinese food we've ever had. We were upstairs which had 2 dedicated servers so... More

although the food was okay, the service and the stuff in this restaurant is a desaster. we´ve been there twice and both times they brought us a wrong cheque, were rude and had no service orientated behaviour. if u go there make sure your level of tolerance and ignorance is quiet high to stand the behavior.

I tried a few of the Chinese restaurants in this area, and Tien Tan is easily the best one. The service is fine and the food has fair portions and good flavour. It is located at the end of the Barrio Chino alleyway with a bunch of other restaurants. If you are planning on seeing Havana's Chinatown, I recommend a... More

We had a lovely evening finding Havana's little chinatown. The waiters in the restaurants were quite pushy but we chose Tien Tan because of it's reviews. Unfortunately the Chinese food was unexceptional but sitting in Cuba under Chinese lanterns was an experience.

Good choice, excellently prepared, rich portions. Owner and kitchen staff are a Chinese family. I do not know how this is possible in Cuba: it is too big to be privately owned, but there must be some special arrangement. They cater to many Chinese students with specially priced menus but prices for guests are very reasonable, too. Frequented by Chinese... More
