Reviews
- scraggly_coriander_seedThe food here was a really nice mix of traditional and modern. Their famous duck was honestly one of the best I've ever had, super crispy skin and really tender meat, and the sauce they gave with it was something special. Still thinking about it. Also tried the braised sea cucumber with scallions, the sea cucumber was so soft and the scallion flavor was super rich, with a thick savory sauce, really enjoyed that one. And the little roast duck with lemongrass had this amazing fragrant lemongrass smell going on, crispy skin, tender meat, such a unique flavor. Definitely gonna be back.
