Signature Dishes
Original Taiwanese Meatball
Low-temperature-fried; the skin is springy with lightly charred, crisp notes. The lean-pork filling with bamboo shoots is firm and chewy, though it can also feel oily, and the skin may be hard.
Taro Taiwanese Meatball
The taro version may only be available during weeks when the Big Boss is operating; there are also periods when taro is unavailable. You can order it mixed with the original.
Four-Herb Soup
The broth is on the light side, with a restrained herbal taste; the small intestine and Job's tears are free of offal odor, the amount of soup ingredients may vary from plentiful to sparse, and refills are available.
