Signature Dishes

  • Beef short plate

    It is not very fatty and has a texture reminiscent of pork jowl; it may also be somewhat ragged and rubbery.

  • Chilled beef tongue

    The tongue is substantial, while the chilled version is tender.

  • Beef brisket

    A generous portion; simmering it for 20–30 minutes can make it better, and it has also been taken home as a chilled dish.

  • Scallion-fried beef

    Not salty, with a strong wok aroma and tender, non-tough beef; the starch-thickened sauce may also be heavy.
