Reviews
- Uli_20Got the milk skin yogurt — seriously so thick it literally stuck to the spoon, and the skin on top was silky smooth like cream cheese. Tang was just right, not too sharp. The roast duck was the star though, super crispy skin and tender meat, and eating it with the osmanthus sugar on the side was such a good combo, all these layers happening in your mouth. Food came out really fast too, our server was moving nonstop and super on it. Place was clean and tidy, tables all lined up nice, overall vibe was really comfortable. Kung pao chicken is worth a try too — sweet, spicy, tangy, super appetizing, ingredients tasted fresh.
