Signature Dishes

  • Scallion Shaobing

    Thick, crisp on the outside, and slightly chewy inside; the scallion amount and flavor may be mild.

  • Shaobing with Youtiao

    The shaobing is lightly crisp outside, soft inside, and floury; the youtiao is slightly chewy with a light crispness, and the combination with soy milk is filling.

  • Round Shaobing

    Thick and multilayered; the scallion-and-pork filling ranges from mild and not greasy to somewhat salty.

  • Sweet Shaobing

    The sweet filling resembles that of a niu-she bing; eaten hot, it has a savory-sweet aroma and crisp exterior, but may taste sweet.

  • Soy Milk

    Made on site, it can have a rich, smooth aroma and pronounced soybean flavor; it may also taste lighter, and staff ask about sweetness before adding brown sugar.
