Reviews
- Vesper_18Came here with a friend for a little get-together and honestly the vibe was super cool — really old Beijing feel, great spot for photos. We ordered the fresh tripe and it was blanched just right, super crunchy and fresh, dipped in that sesame sauce which was so good. The copper pot with charcoal gave it that real smoky flavor, the lamb slices were really thin and cooked in like a few seconds, super tender. Service was great too, food came out pretty quick and they topped up the broth without us even asking. Whole atmosphere was really relaxed, the two of us just eating and chatting, super comfortable. Definitely coming back.
