  1. Yippeeee, Marco polo and Prime chinese also have outlets in Lekki phase 1.

    I think Jades palace (Lekki and Ikeja) is missing from this list. I don’t think Orientals Chinese is good (It is over rated).

  2. Please leave your comment… I actually have moringa seed in large quantity for sell i need a buy u can call me 08142669980 am in ikorodu lagos nigeria

  3. The 10 choice of Chinese restaurants are actually are places that every individual should visit. I went through this list and have actually visited them all within the space of three and half months.
    My choice in the list will be “China Town Express Restaurant”. They have a very relax atmosphere and the services provided by their staff are good.

  4. I am surprised Jade’s Palace (Adeola Odeku Street, beside Spar, V/Island) is missing from this list. Their food is oh so lovely, though expensive. Pearl Garden is equally nice. Marco Polo at Karimu Kotun is no longer there but still in Lekki. I’ve been to Zen Garden only once. Their dumpling dough was too thick for me and by my standards, if you can’t get the dumplings right, then you can’t get any other thing right. Expensive too. Not a bad list compilation anyway.
