Signature Dishes

  • Roast duck

    The skin is fragrant without being greasy, with a rich, wine-like aroma in the meat; the mustard-and-doubanjiang dip adds lift.

  • Steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce

    Meaty, with a rich bone-and-connective-tissue texture; on another occasion the ribs were somewhat dry, and the portion was described as small.

  • Dry-fried beef ho fun

    Large, tender pieces of beef; the ho fun has a pronounced wok hei.

  • Shrimp bean-curd skin roll

    The exterior is exceptionally crisp, with a generous amount of shrimp and a strong seafood flavor.

  • Radish cake

    The exterior is lightly crisp and the texture leans soft; it may turn firm when not hot enough.
