Signature Dishes

  • Hot and sour soup

    Hearty and full-bodied, with a thick-soup feel from vinegar and chili oil; the heat may range from none to mild or distinctly spicy, while the sourness stands out.

  • Pork-filled pastry

    The crust is firm and releases plenty of soup when bitten; the meat flavor may be strong, so take care not to bite too large a piece at once.

  • Shredded radish pastry

    The outer layer is crisp and not greasy, and the shredded-radish filling can be fragrant, sweet, and generous; you may also find the filling mild, the radish strands sparse, and the pastry somewhat thick.

  • Shumai

    The meat filling is savory and fragrant, with a firm texture and a springy wrapper; the appearance is plain, and the texture may remind you of wonton or braised lion's-head meatballs.

  • Red-bean flaky pastry

    The pastry is crisp, with a dense red-bean filling concentrated in the center and a sesame aroma along the bottom; you may also find the pastry dry and not fragrant or flaky enough.
