Reviews
- Gale_3Brought my kid here for dinner and honestly the vibe was super quiet and chill, which was perfect because she could actually sit and eat without getting antsy. We ordered the healthy black tofu and wow, you could really smell the bean flavor, she kept going back for more. The braised lion's head meatballs were so good too — the meat was super tender but had this little crispy bite to it, which I wasn't expecting at all. The staff were really friendly and actually came over to explain the dishes, which was a nice touch. After dinner we walked around the garden area and my kid had a blast running around. Definitely a solid spot if you've got little ones.
