Reviews
- Frankie_24Okay so the palace-style sweet and sour shrimp here was seriously impressive. The shrimp were huge, super meaty and firm, with a really crispy fried coating, and the sweet and sour sauce was clinging to every piece — so much texture going on. The noodles with soybean paste were also amazing, the noodles had great bite to them, the sauce was rich and savory, tons of little meat chunks, totally authentic old Beijing flavor. The whole place has this retro palace vibe, really atmospheric. Service was attentive too, food came out at a reasonable pace. Definitely recommend it if you're into Beijing-style food!
