Reviews
- spring_toucanCame here with a friend and grabbed a window seat — the vibe was super cozy, kinda felt like a little courtyard, totally photo-worthy btw. The hand-sliced lamb was so tender, only needed to dip it in the hotpot for a few seconds and it was ready, and the sesame sauce on the side was incredible. Also tried their homemade sesame buns, crispy outside but still a nice chewy bite. Wasn't too crowded when we went, nice and relaxed, perfect for chatting while you eat. The copper pot was all steamy and bubbling, definitely gives off that old Beijing feel. Just the two of us and we left totally full and happy. Would come back for sure.
