Signature Dishes
Steamed Stinky Tofu
Steamed in a bamboo basket, with a broth seasoned with doubanjiang, Thai basil, and shredded ginger, plus edamame and shiitake mushrooms; the tofu absorbs the broth and takes on its flavor, with no red chili oil added, but it may also be salty, have a milder stinky-tofu aroma, or not be fully infused with flavor.
Vegetable Rice
Pickled mustard greens and cashews pair well; there have been occasions when it was so popular that it sold out early.
Red Vinegar Noodles
The thick noodles are chewy, while the red-vinegar flavor could be more pronounced.
Red Oil Wontons
The vegetarian filling is generous and the flavor is distinctive; it may also be salty.
Tomato Noodles
The portion is very large and comes with one beefsteak tomato; the broth is well made.
