Signature Dishes
Braised Beef Noodles
Beef-fat and soy aromas stand out; the beef ranges from tender to somewhat tough, while the noodles range from not too soft to soft.
Clear-Broth Beef Noodles
The broth is lightly sweet and relatively light, while the beef ranges from tender to slightly tough.
Pork Trotter
Mostly pork trotter, with a large portion, tender braising, a rich-but-not-greasy feel, and enough to share between two.
Pickles
There is only one side dish; the traditional pickles are sour rather than sweet, with flavor ranging from merely salty to nicely seasoned.
