Reviews
- sophisticated_antI ordered the chopped pork with three peppers, rice noodles, and stir-fried mixed mushrooms — all super tasty Yunnan-style dishes. If you're into spicy food, you'll love it here. The mint beef was perfect, the fresh minty flavor mixed with the chewy beef was just right, not bitter at all, really opened up my appetite. The papaya sour soup fish is their signature dish — the broth is tangy and rich, the fish is super tender and silky, and one sip of that soup just makes you want to eat more. The place has a really cool vibe with the decor, the staff were super friendly, and the food came out really fast. The rice wine and some of the side dishes are worth trying too. Overall, super comfy experience, I'd definitely come back.
