Mutton in Clear Broth
The broth is very fresh, and the mutton is tender with little gamey smell; one visit found the meat a little dry and tough.
Dang Gui Mutton Soup
The dang gui broth has been praised; there are records of it selling out at 9:40 and 10:00 a.m. on weekdays.
Mixed Mutton Offal
Several cuts are available; there is also a record of lamb liver selling out.
Lamb Belly
It can be served as soup or dry-tossed; the soup is sweet and fresh, while the dry-tossed version has a sesame-oil aroma.
