Signature Dishes

  • Shou Ji Cantonese Congee

    The grains are almost dissolved, and the flavor is rich and full-bodied; the thick-cut pork liver, meatballs, and fish chunks are generous, with firm, springy meatballs, though the abundant toppings may overwhelm the congee itself.

  • Youtiao

    Youtiao can be added; it is very large, crisp, and distinctive, and pairs well with the congee.

Avoid if

  • If you need indoor dining

What you should know

  • There has been a note about a bloody-looking appearance in the thick-cut pork liver; the shop explains that it is cut thick and is fully cooked.
  • There is only one kind of congee, so there is no flavor choice; the youtiao is distinctive and may sell out later in the day.
  • Past visits have recorded waits of about 10 to 50 minutes, and arriving too late has also resulted in the congee selling out.
