One Palm, Supreme PowerA dish primarily made with pig trotters, which are blanched and slowly stewed to make the meat tender and flavorful. Typically seasoned with scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and cooking wine, then simmered over low heat until the sauce thickens.
Colorful Large Yellow CroakerFive-color large yellow croaker features fresh large yellow croaker as the main ingredient, paired with colorful ingredients such as carrots, green peppers, onions, and wood ear mushrooms. The fish is first steamed until cooked, then stir-fried together with the sliced vegetables, and finally drizzled with a seasoned sauce to make the fish tender and the dish vibrant in color.
Rounded Dumpling ShrimpPao Yuan Da Xia features fresh shrimp as the main ingredient. The shells are removed while leaving the tails intact, and the backs are slit to remove the intestinal vein.

Reviews
- dawn_aniseFinally got a weekend off from work and came here with some friends to chill out. The place is tucked away in this little courtyard, super quiet and cozy, honestly felt like I was at a friend's home rather than a restaurant. We ordered a few dishes that looked really pretty on the plate, like the golden salad and the peacock-style dish, both super artful and tasty. The private room we sat in was nice and tucked away, perfect for a small get-together. Staff was friendly and the food came out at a good pace, not too fast not too slow. After eating we just sat outside in the yard for a bit and I swear all the stress from the week just melted away. Definitely gonna be back.
