Reviews
- Xen_4Came back to this place again and had to order their signature stir-fried chicken (chao ji) — still just as good as I remember. The chicken was super tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful, and dipping the toasted mantou slices in it was honestly so satisfying. The lamb skewers were amazing as always, perfect mix of fatty and lean, charred on the edges and crazy fragrant — paired with a cold Tsingtao I literally couldn't stop eating. The space felt a bit cleaner than last time and the service was more attentive too. The grilled chicken rack (kao ji jia) was still super crispy, the more I chewed the more addicted I got. Overall just a really comfortable meal, definitely coming back next time.
