Signature Dishes

  • Seven Fairies

    The meal opens with a playful, eye-catching course; staff explain it tableside and also provide written notes.

  • Red Fermented Rice Pork

    Deep-fried red yeast rice is paired with scallop, chicken, and chicken cartilage to create a refined version that tastes like red-fermented pork; the seasoning may also feel muddled.

  • Sesame Oil Chicken

    Quail is combined with a rice parcel, sweet-sour-spicy sauce, and a whisky spray; the flavors may also feel unbalanced.

  • Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

    The ingredients may feel loosely connected and lack layers; the black truffle aroma does not fully emerge.

  • Whelk and Garlic Soup

    A clever pairing with squid, with a distinctive soup flavor.
