Reviews
- rambunctious_snapdragonThis place is right by Beijing train station, super easy to find. The inside is clean and bright, and the vibe is really comfortable. We ordered the stinky mandarin fish and the hairy tofu, and honestly both were amazing. The fish was so tender and flavorful, with that kinda funky fermented smell that's actually really good. The tofu was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the sauce went perfectly with rice. We also tried the mushroom soup and it was so fresh and naturally sweet, you can tell the ingredients were good. Service was friendly and the food came out fast. If you're into Hui cuisine, definitely give it a try.
