The eggs are beaten and mixed with crab roe, then seasoned appropriately before being steamed in a steamer until the egg mixture sets into a smooth, delicate texture, allowing the rich crab roe aroma to blend in perfectly for a refined taste.
Kung Pao Shrimp BallsKung Pao Shrimp is a Chinese dish featuring fresh shrimp as the main ingredient. The shrimp are deveined, with shells removed but tails left intact, then marinated with cooking wine and salt before being stir-fried until they change color. It is then combined with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, ginger, and garlic, along with a specially prepared Kung Pao sauce, which is quickly stir-fried to coat the shrimp evenly, allowing them to absorb the rich flavor and develop an appealing color and aroma.
Zhang's Lion's Head MeatballsZhang's Lion's Head is a dish primarily made with pork. The pork, with a balanced mix of fat and lean, is minced and mixed with scallion and ginger water, egg white, starch, and other seasonings until well blended. The mixture is then shaped into large meatballs and slowly stewed in a pot until fully cooked. The finished dish features tender meat and rich, flavorful broth.

Reviews
- Hale_1Came here with a friend and omg the vibe is so cool — it's set up like a traditional courtyard house with that old Beijing feel, super charming. We sat by the window and honestly the photos turned out amazing. The Peking duck was seriously good, skin so crispy and the meat was tender, and they had a bunch of different sauces to dip it in. The pop rocks one was hilarious btw, such a fun surprise lol. The staff was really attentive too, our server walked us through how to eat it the proper way which was nice. Whole place felt relaxed and cute, perfect for a little date night with someone. Definitely coming back.
