Reviews
- Emerson_10Omg this place is SO photogenic!! The second I walked in I was obsessed with the whole traditional Chinese decor — waitstaff are even wearing costumes, perfect for pics. We ordered their signature crispy stuffed chicken (the gourd one, super clever presentation) and the skin was so crispy but the meat inside was still juicy and tender, the soup was so flavorful I actually asked for a refill, no shame. They also did this lychee-shaped shrimp thing served hanging on a little tree which is honestly the cutest thing I've ever seen, looked so real. All the food tasted great, portions were huge, vibe was chill even though it was pretty busy. Great spot to hang with friends!
