Reviews
- rose_pigeonBeen here a few times before and brought my family back this round. The meat was just as fresh as I remembered, and honestly tossing a whole big plate of lamb into the pot was so satisfying. The sesame sauce was super rich and fragrant, and paired with the freshly fried chili oil the flavors just hit in layers. The vibe is still that old Beijing courtyard feel, really atmospheric. Used to think the portions were a bit too much but now I actually wanted more. Staff were way more attentive than before too, little details taken care of really well.
