Signature Dishes
Crispy meatball
The exterior is fried until crisp, with a large piece of pork and bamboo shoots in the filling; sauce can soften the crust if left too long, so add the chili sauce sparingly to gauge its heat.
Shiitake pork soup
It comes with shiitake mushrooms, daikon, intestines, and pork in a generous portion; the broth is lightly sweet but may taste light.
Pork-intestine vermicelli
The vermicelli retains some bite, and the pork intestine is tender without a gamey smell; the broth is on the light side.
