Signature Dishes
Garlic Oil-Confit Shrimp Tossed Noodles
Full shrimp flavor; the shrimp is tender yet springy. The dry noodles are vivid in flavor, but the portion is not large.
Yellow Croaker, Pickled Mustard Greens and Bamboo Shoot Chicken Soup Noodles
The yellow croaker's aroma blends into the chicken broth; mustard greens add flavor. The noodles have texture, and the whole bowl is mellow and harmonious.
Marbled Char Siu Vinegar Noodles
The vinegar flavor is just right; the portion is small, and the char siu is not especially prominent.
Truffle White Sesame Tossed Noodles
Truffle pairs well with the fried scallions in the Taiwanese-style tossed noodles.
