Reviews
- snarky_pigeonWent here with a friend and we tried the stove-cooked fish. Super generous portion, the fish was really tender, and the broth had this slight sweet, smoky flavor from the wood fire — honestly so much depth in every sip. The courtyard has these bamboo chairs and the breeze was just perfect, plus you can actually watch the chefs making tofu pancakes in this old brick room, which was really cool to see. The tofu pancakes were crispy outside, soft inside, and went amazing with the fish soup. The whole smoky-woodfire smell mixed with all the greenery was so relaxing, we just had a great time. Definitely coming back.
