Signature Dishes

  • Stir-fried bing

    Springy and chewy, with plenty of cabbage for a fresh finish; it has also been reheated in a microwave and may have restrained wok hei. Pair it with the house chili.

  • Braised platter

    There are many items and the braising is flavorful; the beef slices have a nostalgic taste, and chili sauce adds another layer, though the seasoning may sometimes be light.

  • Dumplings

    The wrappers and fillings are a bright spot; the chive version has a noticeable pepper flavor, while the cabbage version may be mild and has had a split dumpling.

  • Scallion-braised crucian carp

    The bones are cooked soft enough to eat and there is plenty of roe, but the flesh can be somewhat firm and the sauce is very salty; worth considering if you enjoy crucian carp.
