Signature Dishes
Dry Yi Noodles
The noodles are chewy and springy rather than mushy, with sweetly fragrant braised-pork sauce. Garlic and tabletop condiments let you adjust the flavor; the sauce may also be watery with too little pork, and the dry noodles come with a clear soup.
Dumplings
Large and generously filled, with shrimp and yellow chives adding distinctive flavor; some servings may arrive with broken skins, overly soft dumplings, or loose filling.
Wontons
The wrappers are thicker but springy, and the filling carries herbal-medicine or dang gui notes; shrimp sizes vary, the medicinal-herb flavor is pronounced, and it may feel heavy toward the end.
Dry Rice Blood Cake
The garlicky soy-sauce flavor is absorbed into the rice blood cake; it is not overly soft, the taste is not cloying, and it carries a garlicky aroma.
