Signature Dishes

  • Tofu Pockets

    Filled with minced meat and winter greens, then coated in fish paste; savory and distinctive, but it may also have a stale-oil or beany astringent taste.

  • Fish Ball Soup

    The fish ball texture varies from soft and tender to somewhat mushy, with some springiness; the broth is home-style and may taste salty.

  • Dry Vermicelli

    Tossed with sauce and a little winter greens, it is smooth and absorbs the broth; the portion is small and the texture is on the soft, springy side.
