Reviews
- ebony_anteaterThe mackerel dumplings were way bigger than the other ones and so good!! Honestly reminded me of the first time I went to Qingdao as a kid and had them there. The dried scallop dumplings were amazing, super fresh, definitely recommend! The chive and sea intestine dumplings — the filling kinda fell apart for me, the sea intestine was really fresh and crunchy but the chive and egg flavor just took over completely. The cucumber with crispy youtiao was great, the youtiao was still crispy! The Sichuan pepper chicken had this really good sesame sauce with that numbing pepper flavor, yum. The old vinegar mixed six-veggie plate — I love anything with that aged vinegar, and this one had six different things in it so I was even more into it. The shredded lettuce in cold dressing was super refreshing, just a sesame chili oil sauce. And the crispy fried five-spice hairtail brought me right back to being a kid, tasted just like the fried fish my family used to make.
