Signature Dishes

  • Pan-Seared Pork Liver

    Shin Yeh's well-known pork liver has a good-tasting sauce and a fragrant sear; the organ-meat flavor may not suit everyone, and the pork liver has also been powdery on some occasions.

  • Ginger-Scallion Stir-Fried Baby Squid

    The ginger strips and baby squid in this stir-fry are both well prepared; even someone who normally does not eat ginger may finish all the ginger strips.

  • Pineapple Shrimp Balls

    The shrimp are large and give a sense of value; there may also be a generous amount of mayonnaise.

  • Squid, Whelk, and Garlic Hot Pot

    The hot pot is generously filled; given its ingredients and portion, it felt reasonably priced on that visit.

  • Almond Tofu

    The texture is distinctive; consider it first when choosing a dessert.

What you should know

  • The private room is in the basement and seats 12–14 people; the soundproofing has not always been ideal.
  • There is an accessible entrance, seating, and restroom, but no accessible parking; valet parking is also available.
  • The serving pace can be adjusted to the diners' pace, with plates changed and food portioned; on individual occasions, service has been inattentive or food has arrived lukewarm.
