Reviews
- zealous_orcaThis place is tucked away near Qingnian Lu but super easy to find. The beef balls are honestly the star — so bouncy and chewy, and when you bite into them the juice just bursts out, crazy good texture. The beef was really fresh, especially the slightly fatty cuts, tender and not greasy at all, just a quick dip in the hotpot and they taste amazing. The whole place is clean and tidy, service was on point, and the sides and meatball platter we ordered were super generous. The broth was rich and flavorful, and dipping everything in the satay sauce with crushed peanuts gave it so much depth. Overall we left really happy, definitely coming back.
