Signature Dishes
Chive Dumplings
Thin wrappers with a generous filling; fragrant chives and juicy meat, with a flavor that is not overly salty.
Signature Tofu
Crisp outside and tender inside; egg tofu works well with the house sauce or garlic sauce, though the price may be on the high side.
Hakka Stir-Fry
Savory and rice-friendly, with chewy squid and generous portions of dried tofu and squid; the dried tofu may have tasted slightly sour on one occasion.
Nine-Spice Eggplant
Stir-fried with snap beans, Thai basil, and crispy garlic; the sauce is fragrant, the eggplant tender and well-seasoned without being greasy, though the overall flavor is on the heavier side.
Hot and Sour Soup
A large bowl with plenty of ingredients; the egg, white pepper, and thickened texture stand out. Those who avoid spicy food or thick soups should take note; the broth may have a packaged condensed-soup taste.
