Signature Dishes
Herbal Pork Ribs
A generous rib portion is braised until the meat separates easily from the bone, with a pronounced herbal aroma and free refills; some meatier sections may be tough, and some servings may be bone-heavy with little meat.
Braised Pork Rice
A sweet, southern-style profile with plenty of pork skin and fatty pork and a sticky, sauce-forward texture; some servings may have extra sauce and taste salty.
Herbal Walking Catfish
Large pieces with tender, bouncy meat; the broth is richer than the rib soup, with a different flavor in the middle section.
Pork Blood Cake
Seasoned with braising sauce or thick soy paste; tender and soft with a slight bounce.
