Signature Dishes
Signature Egg-and-Meat Rice Noodles
The rice noodles are smooth, springy, and pleasantly chewy, paired with tender meat and egg; the broth is rich but not greasy, though it may be oily or heavily seasoned.
Wandoufen (Pea Starch Jelly)
The pea starch jelly is refreshing and relatively uncommon; its sauce is appetizing.
Beef Ganba (Yunnan-Style Beef Jerky)
This Yunnan-style beef jerky is sliced very thin and has a relatively soft texture, after being marinated in distinctive seasonings and then baked.
Chilled Shredded Pork Ear
The simple toppings are well-seasoned and flavorful, with no unpleasant pork odor.
