Reviews
- dreamy_cardinalThis place is kinda hidden on the second floor of a supermarket, but if you just follow your maps you'll find it in a couple minutes. We ordered the pork stew with vermicelli and the big pan-fried dumplings with pickled cabbage, and they were so legit. The pork stew especially had this rich, meaty flavor with tons of stuff going on, and the dumplings had super crispy skins with juicy filling — that tangy pickled cabbage mixed with the oiliness was honestly perfect. The sweet and sour pork was crunchy on the outside and tender inside, really satisfying bite. BUT the green pepper tofu skin had way too much starch and felt kinda heavy, and the three earth treasures didn't really have any potato in it and the eggplant wasn't as soft and silky as it should've been. Overall though, definitely worth checking out, I'd go back.
