Signature Dishes
Upper-Grade Beef Soup
The clear broth is sweet and fresh with a light herbal aroma. The upper grade is lean; the beef can be tender but may also be chewy.
Garlic Beef
Dry-fried until the sauce reduces, it has a rich garlic-and-beef savor; the beef is tender and not overly salty.
Beef Minced Rice
Fragrant and generously meaty, with a balanced lean-to-fat ratio and tender braised beef; the rice may be distinct on top but soft underneath.
Sesame Oil Beef
The beef is stir-fried with fragrant sesame oil, appetizing and good with rice; the slices are thick but tender. In the mixed version, the beef heart and liver are also free of offal odor.
Beef with Cabbage
The cabbage is sweet and stays crisp after stir-frying, while the beef is tender and flavorful; it may also come across as fairly ordinary.
