Signature Dishes
Tian Xia Three Delicacies Beef Noodles
Four cuts come in one bowl: thick, tender tendon-center beef; beef tendon that is nearly melting yet still has some bounce; and a cleanly sweet broth with restrained saltiness.
Premium Three-Claw Beef Tendon Noodles
The tendon is braised until almost melted, soft and glutinous with a bouncy bite and saturated with broth; a past order record pairs it with wide-belt noodles.
Premium Beef B-Tendon Noodles
The American beef hind-leg tendon-center cut is thick, tender, juicy, and springy rather than dry; it also has a rich, tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Fried Pork Ribs
The thin flour coating can be crisp or soft and tender, with springy meat; the portion is large and suited to sharing.
Osmanthus Taro
Sweet and refreshing with a cool sensation; the taro flavor stands out and has been a reason to return.
