Signature Dishes

  • Agei

    The tofu pouch has a beany aroma, and the vermicelli stays springy after soaking up the sauce; the sauce may taste salty or sweet, and the Agei can occasionally arrive broken.

  • Fish-ball soup

    The broth can be clean and sweet, but may also be salty; the fish-ball texture ranges from crisp and springy to firm.

  • Meat bun

    It can feel substantial, but may also have thick dough, little filling, or ordinary seasoning, so the experience can vary.
