Reviews
- Quill_10The shrimp and chive dumplings here were seriously good — thin skin, packed with filling, and you can tell the shrimp was super fresh. The chive wasn't greasy at all, just really fragrant. The seafood pork blood stew had this bright red, spicy broth that was so flavorful, loaded with shrimp, tripe, and tofu stuff. Genuinely addictive, went great with rice too. The place was clean and the private rooms actually looked kinda nice — perfect for hanging out with friends. Service was fast and the staff were really friendly. The fish head with flatbread was a standout, the soup was super rich and the bread soaked up all that flavor, just incredibly tasty. Overall the flavors stayed consistent across everything we tried, would totally come back.
