Signature Dishes
Scallop Dumplings
The green wrappers contain algae; each dumpling has a small scallop with a seafood savor. The scallop aroma stands out, but the pieces are small and may taste slightly salty.
Signature Dumplings
The leek-and-cabbage filling starts with scallion aroma, followed by cabbage sweetness; the wrappers are springy, but eating many may feel greasy.
Chive Dumplings
Fragrant chives have a crisp bite with sweet pork; the wrappers are springy and not overly oily, and can sometimes be more appealing than the signature version.
Hot-and-Sour Soup
The acidity can be mild or pronounced; toppings may feel plentiful or sparse, and the broth may be thick. If you are sensitive to sour flavors, take note.
Grass Jelly Honey Drink
Chilled and silky, with sweetness around half-sweet tea and not overly sugary; refreshing in summer.
