Reviews
- Isle_13Stumbled on this little spot near Fahua Temple and wow, the squid rice (鱿鱼饭) is seriously something else. It's made with fresh squid tossed in this secret sauce that's sweet and savory at the same time, tons of flavor going on. They also do a sizzling iron plate squid that's perfectly crispy on the outside, super tender and chewy on the inside, and the sauce is coated just right. The owner is super friendly too, kept recommending dishes and even gave us extra sauce on the house without us asking. Place is clean, not a ton of seats, but honestly the vibe is really comfortable. And the portion size is huge, I left totally satisfied. Definitely gonna come back!
