Signature Dishes

  • Dry Yi Mein

    The thin noodles are springy and dry-textured, with a clear pork-lard aroma and minced-pork sauce; the texture can also be somewhat soft.

  • Hot-and-sour soup dumplings

    Full of hot-and-sour and peppery flavor; both the soup and dumplings are spicy and sour. Larger appetites may not find one bowl filling.

  • Shantou fish ball soup

    The fish balls are tender and springy; the broth is rich yet clean and not oily, with a seafood sweetness.

  • Wonton soup

    Thin wonton skins with generous filling; the filling is fresh and not heavy, while the broth is clean with layered flavor.

  • Assorted braised items

    The braised items vary in flavor: they can come across as straightforward and not too salty, but may also be on the salty side.
