Signature Dishes

  • Chicken Rice

    The house-recipe version has soft, sticky rice with a fragrant rice aroma and tender chicken; the petite version is half-sized and comes with chrysanthemum-cut radish and a pork liver roll.

  • Steamed Stinky Tofu

    Mixed with minced meat, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and egg mixture, then topped with preserved mustard greens and edamame; it smells stinky but does not taste that way, with a finely crumbled, juicy texture.

  • Salt-Poached Pork Tongue

    The texture is delicate and tender; hot oil brings out the aroma of scallion whites, chili, and garlic, adding a grandmotherly home-cooked flavor.

  • Pacific Saury

    The tomato-sauce version can be eaten with the bones, which have softened; the cold bone-softened version still retains a firm texture without becoming overly loose.

  • Lamb with Pickled Cabbage

    The lamb is tender without being greasy, the pickled cabbage stays crisp, the sourness and saltiness are balanced, and Sichuan peppercorns add flavor.

Value verdict
