Signature Dishes
Vegetable noodles
The noodles are springy and the broth is fragrant; 豆筍 (dou sun) and vegetable rolls can be added.
Sticky rice cake
The sticky rice is moderately firm and chewy, with a rice aroma; the balanced sweet-savory vegetarian sauce is not cloying, and the overall profile is refreshing.
Vegetarian meatball soup
The konjac skin is soft and chewy, with layered tofu-skin filling; the soy-sauce broth is savory and full-flavored, but somewhat oily and salty.
Dry noodles
The yellow noodles are on the soft side and the seasoning is somewhat sweet; they are fragrant, and chili adds flavor.
Mixed soup
The combination of vegetable rolls, triangular tofu pouches, white tofu, and vegetarian balls is distinctive; the broth is based on house-made vegetarian ingredients and soy seasoning.
