Signature Dishes

  • Braised Pork Rice

    Lean pork with a clear soy-sauce aroma and sweet-savory pickled-cucumber flavor, a distinct meaty aroma, and textured rice.

  • Pork Rice with Pork Shoulder Slices

    The pork slices are thick, with a tender, not-dry side; they may also have some sinew and a milder flavor.

  • Meatballs

    Firm, springy meatballs with an old-fashioned flavor; the meatball rice comes with scallions rather than braised pork sauce, while braised-pork meatball rice combines both.

  • Yi Noodles

    Springy, firm noodles with a chewy bite and an old-fashioned flavor; they may also feel ordinary overall.

What you should know

  • For dine-in, fill out the order slip and pay to get a number; staff then assign a seat. Space is limited, and peak periods often require waiting.
  • The pork sauce contains no skin or fatty meat and is lean with some chew; those expecting melt-in-the-mouth braised pork may not enjoy it.
  • There have been weekday visits without a queue, but holidays and peak mealtimes may still involve waiting.
