Reviews
- Mercury_23Eating alone here and didn't feel awkward at all. The vibe is quiet and cozy, perfect if you just wanna chill by yourself. Got the Mengcheng baked flatbread — freshly baked, super flaky and crispy, crumbs everywhere when I bit in, really unique flavor. The Hui-style stinky mandarin fish had that intense fermented aroma, the meat was firm and chewy, kinda addictive the more I ate. Food came out fast and the service was great too. The Hu Shi yi pin guo was a huge portion, the cured meat and egg dumplings went together so well, super rich broth. Overall solid experience, definitely coming back next time.
