Delicious. Most Junmais taste the same to me but this was fruity and complex. Liked it so much I ordered a second carafe. Also had a glass of the sour, tasty but very sour so it was an extreme palate cleanser.
Dou bao. Never had anything like this before.
“Kimchi” was delicious, not spicy, never had anything like this before either. Had a few bites before I remembered to take a photo.
Steamed pork, delicate, really wants rice which we’d neglected to order at first.
Bok choy, simple but good, nice to have some simple veg for contrast. There were two other pieces like this.
House spicy noodles, great bouncy QQ. Mildly spicy, no ma la. One of the better vegan dishes I’ve had.
Minced pork noodle, to me kind of bland in contrast to the spicy. Leftovers will make a great soup.
Grilled squid, tasted very Korean to me.
Neglected to photograph the king trumpet mushroom skewers. Nice but had an odd bitter finish I didn’t care for.
Also neglected to photograph the charcoal roasted oolong tea cheesecake. Very nice, subtle flavor, wouldn’t have guessed tea.
Prices are fair for the quality of the ingredients, level of cooking, and really exceptional service.
