A legendary 'no-menu' institution where diners surrender control to the kitchen for a parade of 12-18 small, tapas-style Chinese courses tailored to their spice tolerance.
Ordering Strategy
There is no menu; you simply choose your spice level and dietary restrictions. Arrive hungry as the meal consists of 12-18 small courses. Dining alone is generally not permitted.
What to order
Crispy Green Beans
Described as 'addictive as crisp bacon' and 'one of the best of the meal,' these beans are served in a light, frilly batter with a well-judged kick of garlic and chilli.
Minced Chicken Lettuce Wrap
A 'salty, garlicky' staple that offers a satisfying crunch; critics enjoy the interactive nature of wrapping the savory mince in iceberg lettuce.
Camphor tea-smoked duck
A 'showstopping finale' to the meal, this dish is served with gossamer-thin pancakes and represents a high point of the multi-course tasting experience.
Black cod with a black vinegar reduction
A favorite for reviewers, who highlight how the buttery richness of the sablefish is perfectly balanced by the sharp vinegar and five-spice seasoning.
