Reviews
- magnetic_hickoryOrdered the beef soup hotpot — the broth was so light and naturally sweet, I honestly had two bowls before even touching the meat. Super warming and got my stomach ready for everything else. The all-beef platter had this cut called diaolong that was literally paper thin, like see-through. Swished it for like 8 seconds and it curled up at the edges, dipped in the satay sauce and wow, tender but still had that little bite, crazy beefy flavor. The chuck flap and the shoulder cuts were totally different textures — the tender pieces were so juicy, really satisfying. The brisket needed a bit longer in the pot but the longer you cooked it the crispier it got, weirdly addictive. Staff were super attentive too, kept helping us cook the meat and adding more broth, didn't have to lift a finger. Whole experience was just really comfortable.
