Signature Dishes

  • Claypot Fish Head

    Both the fish head and fish meat are fried; the broth is rich with shacha aroma. Expect plenty of bones, with a bold, salty-sweet, mildly spicy flavor.

  • Claypot Vegetables

    Loaded with napa cabbage, tofu skin, tofu, wood ear mushrooms and other toppings; the broth is rich and naturally sweet, and the claypot can be ordered without fish.

  • Braised Pork Rice with Fried Egg

    The soft egg yolk blends into the braising sauce and rice for a savory, rich flavor without being cloying.
