Signature Dishes
Zhajiang Noodles
The noodles are springy, and the zhajiang is savory-sweet with a rich aroma; it may also taste salty, and the large and small bowls can differ in intensity.
Wonton Soup
The broth is refreshing, with thin-skinned wontons and substantial filling; a small bowl has about 6–8 wontons, though the wrappers may also seem thick and the filling relatively fatty.
Crispy Pork Rib Soup
The pork ribs are braised until tender and the broth is sweet and clear; it can pair with zhajiang noodles, though there may also be many bones, dry meat, and a stale-oil taste.
