Reviews
- medium_asterMy friend kept telling me about this place, said it had super authentic old Beijing flavors, so I finally gave it a try. And honestly, it didn't disappoint at all. The lamb spine hotpot was so tender, and the broth was rich and super fragrant, I couldn't stop sipping it. The staff even helped adjust the heat for us, which was a really nice touch. Place is clean and tidy, tables spaced out nicely, just felt comfortable the whole time. Got the set menu and the portions were huge, really good value for the money. The lamb skewers were pretty fresh too. Overall, solid experience, I'd come back for sure.
