Signature Dishes
Duck hot pot
The accompanying vegetables are the highlight; the cherry duck hot pot is simply delicious, letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
Fried spring roll
Filled with shrimp paste, edamame, and cream cheese; the texture is not greasy, and it comes with a small dish of soy sauce for dipping.
Tamagoyaki
The care put into the broth comes through, but overall it resembles creamed corn soup.
Sashimi
The sashimi melts in the mouth, but the portion is on the small side.
Fried pork ribs
The rib meat is melt-in-the-mouth, like the ribs in a home-style pork rib soup, and is bathed in a sweet sauce.
