Signature Dishes

  • Mian ge da

    The pieces are cut small and easy to eat, usually springy and chewy; they can also be firm, with a texture likened to hardened taro balls.

  • Double-Sauce Dry Noodles

    Fragrant sesame and zhajiang sauces; hand-rolled dough cut into strips with a firm, springy bite, plus crisp bean sprouts and cucumber.

  • Red-Oil Wontons

    The wonton skin and half-lean, half-fat filling are springy and firm; the red oil is light, leaving the seasoning slightly mild.

  • Burdock Fish Cake

    The fish paste is very springy and pleasantly textured, and one piece can be ordered; it may also seem a little pricey.

  • Sauerkraut and Pork Noodles with Mian ge da

    The sauerkraut broth is distinctly sour, and the dough pieces are small and relatively soft; they may also come with bland dough cores, a flat broth, and heaviness toward the end.
