Signature Dishes

  • Yuan Wei fried rice

    Soy sauce, egg, onion, and scallion create an aromatic fried rice with strong wok hei and plump, springy grains.

  • Tomato fried rice

    A clear tomato flavor with soy-sauce aroma and wok hei; pork strips, onion, and egg leave the grains distinct and springy.

  • Blanched pork belly

    Thick-cut pork belly with skin; the fat is fragrant, melts in the mouth without feeling greasy, while the lean meat is tender and not dry, served with garlic soy sauce.

  • Stir-fried green bamboo shoots

    Simply and lightly seasoned to bring out the shoots’ sweetness, with fine fibers.
