Signature Dishes

  • Fuzhou Fish Ball Soup

    The skin is tender, with both a springy and soft, glutinous texture; the pork filling is plump and juicy. The broth is lightly sweet and mild, with a noticeable celery aroma.

  • Dry Noodles

    Oil noodles are tossed with soy paste, fried scallions, and celery, with a clear aroma; the noodles can be soft yet still springy, and the seasoning may run salty.

  • Squid Thick Soup

    This squid meat thick soup has a nostalgic old-school flavor; chili brings out more flavor.
