A homely, women-led neighborhood gem where a mother cooks and her daughters serve handmade dim sum and punchy Sichuan noodles.
Ordering Strategy
Order a few baskets of handmade dim sum to share, but ensure you try the signature noodle dishes.
What to order
Dan Dan Noodles
The house specialty—spicy, garlicky, and numbing with Sichuan pepper.
Braised Beef Noodles
Tender meat that 'trembles into pieces' in a rich, aromatic broth.
Salted Egg Custard Lava Buns
Steamed in striking black dough for extra drama; a Time Out headliner.
