Signature Dishes
Sichuan-style noodles
The slightly thick noodles are chewy; the default is medium numbing and medium spicy, with the numbing sensation more pronounced. The dipping-noodle version combines sesame sauce and pickled long beans for a mildly tangy, mildly spicy flavor, and the noodles may be softer.
Hūlū noodles
An egg-drop soup base comes with assorted fillings, and the broth is relatively rich. Fuzhou fish balls are an option; the wonton filling has a distinctive flavor, while the egg is tender.
Rock-sugar pig trotter
It has sold out less than an hour after opening on one recorded occasion; if you want it, consider reserving it by phone in advance.
Braised beef shank
Very tender, and flavorful even without dipping it in anything.
Tofu skin
It has a light soybean aroma and a pleasant texture.
