Reviews
- hokey_pandaFound this Cantonese place super close to the Forbidden City which was really convenient. The vibe inside is nice and chill, perfect for hanging out with friends or even bringing guests. We ordered the squab and a soup — the squab had super crispy skin, tender meat, and was packed with flavor, honestly tasted really authentic. Food came out fast too which was a plus, didn't have to wait around forever. Overall a solid meal, and afterwards we just wandered around the area for a bit. Pretty easy and saves you time if you're already sightseeing nearby.
