Reviews
- colossal_fava_beanWe picked this place near Chang'an Avenue to celebrate something special and honestly it was perfect. The vibe was super cozy and the whole setup felt kinda fancy without being stuffy, which was exactly what we wanted. The squirrel-shaped mandarin fish was honestly the star — so crispy and the sweet sour sauce was on point. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup was ridiculously good too, super rich and full of flavor, definitely worth it. Service was great, our server was really sweet and knew exactly what she was doing. There was even this little opening presentation when they brought the dishes out that made it feel really special, like an actual event rather than just dinner. Every little detail was taken care of and we never had to ask for anything. Honestly such a good experience, I'd totally come back here for another celebration or honestly even just a nice dinner out.
