  Got the Mao family braised pork and the chopped chili fish head, and honestly both were really good. The pork was super tender and not greasy at all, and the fish head was fresh and soaked up all that chili flavor — the aroma was intense in the best way. Our server kept refilling water and swapping out plates without us even asking, which was a nice touch. The place has a simple, clean vibe with wooden tables and warm lighting, really comfy to sit and eat. Portions were huge too, just a few dishes and we were stuffed. They even brought out some fruit after the meal, which was a sweet surprise. Overall just a really pleasant experience, would come back for sure.
