Ordering Strategy

Strictly grab-and-go. Perfect for a quick solo bite; order a jianbing to watch it made fresh, and add a massive £3 pork bun if you're extra hungry.

What to order

Safe first

Jianbing

Described by enthusiasts as a 'must-try' Chinese crepe, this signature dish is crisped up on a griddle and offers a 'symphony of flavors' with a robust spiciness.

Hungry

Roast Cold Noodle with Pork Belly

The 'highlight' for many, this is an 'intriguingly' hot dish featuring a perfectly chewy noodle that acts as a wrap for succulent pork belly and a crispy fried egg.

Wildcard

Hong Kong Egg Puffs

These bubble-shaped waffles are served hot and are lighter and less sweet than American versions, making them the 'perfect way to round off the meal.'

Wildcard

Pork Bun

A 'juicy, delicious' steal at just £3, these buns are spotted steaming behind the counter and are described as 'impossible to resist.'

What to skip

Skip
Mushroom PancakeThough crispy, reviewers noted it 'didn’t have quite the umami hit' expected and found it a little heavy-handed on the spice.

Good to know

This is a tiny takeaway counter with room for only one or two customers inside. Expect to eat on the street, and be prepared for small queues at peak times.
