Chifanki

These cheap eaters with makeshift interiors, friendly waiters and more or less authentic Chinese cooking are a new and essential symbol of Vladivostok’s dining scene. The iconic cafes are to be found in the Sportivnaya Street market offering a popular choice of Harbin salad and sweet-and-sour sauce meat. Travellers enjoy weird Chinese translations into Russian, while the price of a rice bowl is an exact indicator of the state of the economy in Russia and the world.
