Reviews
- bismuth_acornHonestly such a chill spot. Went with a friend and we both loved the vibe — quiet and cozy, perfect for catching up without yelling over each other. We ordered the straw mushroom chicken and the chicken was so tender and juicy it basically melted, plus the mushrooms had soaked up all that flavor. Also tried the Beijing-style grilled lamb, which was really tender and nicely seasoned, and the sesame buns on the side were so good we kept reaching for more. The salad was fresh and light, and they added some seaweed strips on top which was a fun little twist. Food came out pretty fast too and the service was super attentive. Overall a really solid meal, would definitely come back.
