Ordering Strategy

Portions are generous, making it perfect for sharing. Grab a few dishes to go and eat them while walking down Brick Lane, as seating inside is very limited.

What to order

Safe first

Salt and Pepper Chips

A 'gastronomic gift' from the Chinese-Scouse community, these chips are deep-fried, stir-fried, and soaked in chilli oil, featuring dried Sichuan chillies, white onion, pepper, and shredded carrot.

Hungry

Sweet and Sour Deep-Fried Pork Strips

Incredibly crispy and rich in flavor, managing to stay crunchy even when coated in sauce.

Wildcard

Spicy Dry Pot

An authentic, intensely flavorful option—just ensure you can handle the heavy dose of chillies.

Wildcard

Sweet Sour Pork

Recommended in the Vittles Chinatown guide as a standout order from the menu.

Good to know

Cash or bank transfer only—no credit cards accepted. The restaurant is quite small and wait times can be long during peak hours, so plan accordingly.
