Dishes
Traditional Frozen LambTraditional frozen mutton is a cold dish made by blanching, stewing, and cooling lamb until it solidifies into a gelatinous texture. The meat is cut into pieces, simmered slowly with scallions, ginger, and cooking wine until tender, then chilled to form a firm, jelly-like consistency.
Traditional Secret-Recipe Sesame Paste CondimentTraditional sesame sauce condiment is made from sesame paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, green onions, chili oil, and cilantro. Mix sesame and peanut pastes in proportion, add warm water to smooth consistency, then add seasonings and stir well. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.

Reviews
- dapper_pine_nutOkay so the second I walked in and they were playing Beyond's "Glorious Years" I was already sold. Then "Boundless Sea and Sky" came on in the middle of the meal and honestly I was done for, full marks no questions asked. Don't try to stop me!!! The meat was seriously good, so satisfying. I was chowing down by myself and ended up eating like two or three plates of it, totally pigging out lol. The fried lamb skewers were legit, no joke, each one was huge! And the sour plum juice was really good too, not crazy sweet which I appreciated. Loved this place, definitely supporting the homies!
