Signature Dishes
Steamed dumplings
Thin wrappers, juicy filling, and a scallion-ginger aroma; best eaten hot, as the wrappers oxidize if left too long, and handle carefully to avoid breaking them.
Beef-and-egg soup
About two eggs in total, including egg ribbons and a whole egg; the rich red-braised beef-fat broth is accented with pickled mustard greens. Saltiness ranges from just right to slightly salty.
Red-oil wontons
Large pieces, five per serving; the sauce centers on sesame sauce, peanut powder, and chili oil. It is not very spicy, but the sweetness of the peanut powder may make the overall taste feel unusual.
Zhajiang noodles
Northern-style diced dried tofu and cucumber, with a fragrant sauce that is slightly sweet and nutty. The ramen-style noodles are chewy and smooth, though they can also be somewhat wet and soft with less bite.
