排队时间
Significant, especially right before opening hours (9 PM). Queues start forming around 8:30 PM.
菜品
Specializes in Ba Zi Rou (braised pork belly), which is fresh, soft, and fatty but not greasy, though the lean meat can be fibrous. Other popular items include Jian Juan (wrapped minced meat in bean curd skin, savory), Shou Da Shi Zi Tou (deep-fried lion's head meatball with water chestnuts, firm texture), and Tang Cu La Jiao (sweet and sour cooking pepper, refreshing). Some sides like crispy bean sprouts are available, but the green pepper stir-fry is considered ordinary and the vermicelli cooked with braised pork broth has a bitter taste.
服务
Cafeteria-style, self-service for ordering dishes.

The green pepper stir-fry is very ordinary and the vermicelli cooked with braised pork broth has a bitter taste.
