Finally, season with适量 salt, light soy sauce, and a small amount of sugar, stir well, and serve.

Reviews
- wandering_peanutFinally got a break from work this weekend and grabbed a friend to come check this place out. The fresh lamb was insanely tender, like it just melted in my mouth, and the flavor kinda spread out slowly while you were eating it. Super comforting. The sesame sauce was mixed just right, salty but not too much, and they top it with this fresh fried chili oil that takes it to another level. Vibe inside is nice too, they've got four-person tables and private rooms. Got pretty crowded at lunch on a weekend but honestly the wait was worth it. Best part tho? They're open till 3am, so after walking around at night you can still come grab something hot. Total lifesaver.
