Signature Dishes
Dry noodles (four-sauce noodles)
The four-sauce blend combines sesame sauce, meat sauce, lard with fried shallots, and salt water. The noodles are chewy; the flavor is homespun rather than instantly dazzling.
Pork bone soup
The broth can be fresh and sweet, with ginger to cut the odor, but it may also be salty; the meat-to-bone balance varies.
魯大腸
Braised until flavorful and not greasy, but the cold serving style and fatty center may be an acquired taste.
