Reviews
- thin_gopherThe grass-fed lamb from Ximeng was honestly so fresh — perfect mix of fat and lean, and after just a few swishes in the pot it literally melted in my mouth. Zero gamey taste at all. The copper pot is apparently made with that Qianlong-era cloisonné craft, super intricate just to look at, and while you're cooking the meat it gives off this subtle grassy, woody smell. The sugar-fried bread was crispy outside, soft inside, and oh my god dipped in the sesame paste? Insanely good. Service was really attentive too — the staff helped us cook the meat and walked us through all the different sauce combos. Whole experience was super chill, great spot to hang out with friends.
