If there?s one Chinese restaurant in Riyadh hailed as the best, it would be Mirage Restaurant. And we?re not just talking about the food here, its interiors is a spectacle in its own. Huge aquariums filled with colorful fishes greet you, lighted corners and waiting areas, and oriental touches in decors here and there. And did I mention a pond in the middle of the restaurant? Yes, Mirage propels diners into a phantasm of pomp and pageantry.

A meal in Mirage starts with the crisp, savory crackers served with a simple pickled salad and sauces. The menu is an extensive list of Chinese dishes punctuated with some Indian and Japanese cuisine. We ordered the dumplings filled with meat. It arrived in a traditional steamer; its wrapper sensitive to prodding and its content hot and flavorful. The rolls we ordered were served in glass platters. The Rainbow Roll with its torched fish toppings and the Hiroshima Roll surrounded with a crispy coat didn?t disappoint. They?re my favorite treats in our table. Oh, and the shrimp and cheese roll too. It has the right crunch. The paella, mixed noodles, and fried rice were glistening with too much oil. The yellowish, somber lighting in our section highlighted that fact and I had to refrain from getting too many. A little sampling of the three proved they were tasty and flavorful but next time, I?m just getting the simple steamed rice to complement the savory black mushroom beef, which was full-flavored.

The crab thermidor was creamy but delightful to the palate. Though it?s filled with flavor and other ingredients as well, it?s a break from the usual seafood viands in soy sauce and oyster sauce. It?s also served in crab shells? cute! A tower of iced tea nicely rounded up our meal. It?s not too sweet, not too sour. Very adequate to wash down all the sodium we ate. Haha.

Sometimes, the lighting, or the lack thereof, is a nuisance to eating. It was too dim. But others like the ambiance of the whole place. We like the aquariums and ponds which serve as a distraction for the kids. Service is efficient and fast; our waiters friendly and helpful in determining what goes in on one dish and so on. The prices are affordable and the portions are good for sharing. This is the second time we ate in Mirage and we still liked it. Serving good food and displaying interesting interiors, Mirage is not an illusion. It?s here to stay.
