Reviews
- Devon_22This place is tucked inside a traditional courtyard house and honestly the vibe is super cool — the gray brick and tile work give it that old Beijing feel, and yeah, my pics turned out amazing. Got a private room for our group and it felt really secluded, perfect for hanging with friends or even a business dinner. The staff were lovely, greeted us at the door with warm water and hot towels, and walked us through the menu. Portions were huge, everything tasted fresh, the Hunan dishes were packed with flavor, and the plating was actually really thoughtful. Whole experience was just smooth — no real wait, service was on point. Would definitely come back.
