Reviews
- dinky_teffMy friend kept telling me about this Northeast iron pot stew place downtown and I finally went to check it out. Honestly it did not disappoint — the meat in the iron pot was fall-apart tender, the broth was super rich, and the portions were really generous. We got the catfish pot and the fish was so tender, plus the veggies soaked up all the flavor and were crazy good. Also tried the cold noodles with sesame sauce — the noodles were silky smooth and the sesame sauce was amazing, really cut through all the richness. Service was great, food came out fast, and the vibe was super lively and packed. Perfect spot to come with family, definitely gonna be back.
