Loading map links...Price: 5/5 (Very affordable for a Michelin-starred restaurant)Wait Time: 3/5 (Can have long queues, especially during peak hours)
Dishes
4.5/5 (Traditional and high-quality dishes overall; Snowflake Chicken Purée is soft and savory, Braised Pork in Clay Pot is very tender with good meat quality, Homestyle Douban Fish has good flavor but might not be from live-killed fish, Kung Pao Chicken is traditional with good flavor but some may find it lacks Sichuan peppercorns. Steamed Pork with Preserved Vegetables is a high-calorie sweet and savory dish.)
Service
3.5/5 (Staff are polite but the restaurant is very busy, leading to some limitations like kitchen access.)
Precautions
- Expect long waiting times, especially around lunchtime and dinner time (e.g., 1 PM).
- The dining area can be warm due to insufficient air conditioning, causing diners to sweat.
- The restaurant environment can be noisy due to high customer traffic.
- For dishes like fish, it might not be freshly killed on the spot, but the cooking technique compensates.
- Certain dishes, like the '烧白回锅' (Steamed Pork with Preserved Vegetables), are very high in calories due to ingredients like glutinous rice, fatty pork, and sugar.
