Signature Dishes
Mixed Gua Bao
The bun has a springy bite but may also be firm; the fatty meat is soft and tender while the lean meat is not dry, and the pickled mustard greens cut through the richness with sweet peanut sugar powder.
Lean Pork Gua Bao
A generous amount of minced meat with a savory braising-sauce aroma; the texture may be dry, and the meat may harden once cooled.
Braised Pork Gua Bao
The braised pork is well-seasoned, with tender lean meat that is not overly oily even when cooled; the pork flavor may be subdued, and the pork belly may be somewhat overcooked.
Almond Soy Milk
The almonds are blended into granules, with noticeable almond and soy aromas and a distinct grainy texture; it can be picked up with the gua bao.
Traditional Black Tea
It has a delicate roasted aroma, a chilled, lingering finish, and a refreshing quality that cuts through the richness.

What you should know
What you should know
- There is no dine-in service; although two small stools are available by the entrance, they are not suitable for a proper meal.
- The mixed option may still be quite fatty; if you avoid oily food, choose lean meat or ask for it to be made leaner.
- The soup is cooked to order and requires waiting; you can tell the shop while you are in line.
