Signature Dishes
Half-Tendon, Half-Beef Noodles
The beef and tendon portions feel generous; the beef is usually tender, while the tendon ranges from springy to chewy. The broth has an herbal aroma but may taste quite salty.
Spicy Beef Fat
House-made and self-served; it makes the aroma more pronounced when added.
Flower Tofu (Huagan)
It soaks up the broth, with a refreshing, well-seasoned flavor and a juicy bite; the saltiness may be pronounced.
Beef Tripe
The beef tripe portion is generous and well-seasoned.
