The fare served at Corner sits somewhere between authentic Western and Chinese-Western cuisine.

 

Ribs and chicken are the two most popular dishes at Corner. The ribs are flawless, hands down. However, the fat and skin on the chicken breast are much more similar with the way in which chicken is served in China. Therefore the chicken is a hit with the local Nanjingren, but a miss with the standard Western foreigner who conversely enjoys the ribs.

 

In a nutshell, the food at Corner is quite good compared with other Chinese-owned Western restaurants. However, the cuisine here falls well short of the standard set by some actual authentic restaurants in Nanjing. A contradiction indeed.

 

The atmosphere is very comfortable.  Soft music, small tables, and special love-seats make Corner suitable for dates or small groups.  The service is great and the servers speak enough English to read the menus.

 

How to get there: Walk down a small alley on the west side of Taiping Bei Lu.  Corner is on the first floor and on the corner of a building that contains a larger restaurant.
