Reviews
- alabaster_eelSuper easy to get to, tucked in a hutong but not hard to find at all. Everything's made fresh, not the pre-made stuff, which I really appreciated. Flavors aren't too heavy either, which was kind to my stomach. Big variety too — stir fries, cold dishes, mains, soups, and they switch up the menu every day so it never gets boring. Price is honestly unbeatable, like 20-something yuan per person and you leave stuffed. Service was great too, they kept refilling dishes quickly. All around a solid spot, I'd definitely come back.
