Signature Dishes

  • Grouper Fish Soup

    The broth is light, sweet, and savory, with noticeable ginger; the grouper is springy and firm, not dry.

  • Watermelon-Rind Fish Soup

    Tangy and appetite-opening, with a refreshing finish; choose dragon grouper or sea bass. The dragon grouper is firmer, though a portion may sometimes contain less fish.

  • Pan-Fried Squid

    Fragrant, tender, and sweet, with just-right doneness and wok hei; the price is seasonal.

  • Scallion-Braised Fish Bone

    The bones are large and the meat comes off easily; garlic, scallion, and fermented bean paste blend into a homestyle flavor.

  • Minced Pork Rice

    Savory-sweet with an oily aroma and a sticky collagen texture; it can also come across as salty, with somewhat crumbly rice.
