I don't think I've ever seen a place like this anywhere in Samarkand. It's truly authentic, but it comes with its fair share of both positives and negatives.
The inside is basically a spacious and luxurious wedding hall, featuring plain tables and chairs. The staff is highly proficient in multiple languages, including native Chinese, but they tend to be awkward around people, which is left me dissatisfied.
The menu has both good options, like the cold chicken salad I ordered, as well as unnecessarily overpriced items. The fried rice didn't impress me, but maybe I prefer it Korean style rather than Chinese.
Although the place left me with a puzzling aftertaste, I wouldn't say it was a negative thing. So concluding, the restaurant, named after Confucius, is like his philosophy — it takes multiple visits to fully comprehend all aspects (:
