Signature Dishes
Beef Braised Rice
The sauce is thick and curry-like, with a strong pepper flavor; most of the beef consists of trimmings, including tendon and fatty pieces. A soft-cooked egg is a plus. The rice has been described as both distinct-grained and relatively moist, and the dish may be on the oily side.
Beef Soup
The broth is clean-tasting, naturally sweet, and fragrant with beef, and soup refills are available. Beef belly adds a noticeable fatty aroma; the meat can sometimes be dry or firmer after takeout. The mixed soup lets you try several cuts at once.
Scallion-Oil Chicken Rice
The chicken is tender, soft, and juicy, with a rich, salty-savory scallion sauce; its flavor is milder and it is less greasy than the beef braised rice. The portion is small, and the dish is fairly straightforward overall.
Dragon Beard Vegetable with Sesame Dressing
Chilled and tender, refreshing rather than tough, with a sesame dressing that is neither too sweet nor too salty. Paired with the rich beef braised rice, it can cut through the greasiness, though the dressing is generous.
Braised Dried Tofu
Its pores soak up the braising liquid, bringing a deep herbal bitterness and rich sauce aroma; the texture has been described as both tender and somewhat chewy.
