Reviews
- jumpy_aye-ayeFinally got a weekend off from work and dragged my friend here to relax a bit. Ordered the iron pot braised pork ribs and it was so cool watching the chef cook it right at our table. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the green beans and potatoes had soaked up all the juices — super flavorful and a little sweet. The special flower rolls soaked in the broth were amazing, soft and fluffy with that meaty taste. Staff were really friendly and even asked about food allergies, which was a nice touch. The vibe was lively and perfect for a friends' dinner out. Honestly left feeling so satisfied.
