They recently updated their menu, so if you can read or speak Chinese, you will have more options and be able to ask questions about the food more easily. A must-try!

They have 2 sets of menu, one in Chinese and one in English. the English version is quite a bit less choices. Must try all the barbecued food. food can be spicy but you can request for any level of spice and salt.

I'd recommend coming with a group to share several menu items. I always want to try everything which can be a bit expensive between only a couple of people. I highly recommend speaking with the server to help explain the Chinese menu and what you may be interested in. You may need to ask for it. The English menu is pretty generic, however, the Chinese menu is where the real menu items exist. It's really worth trying items from the Chinese menu if you enjoy spicy food, don't mind meat with bones, etc. I particularly enjoy the cold, spicy beef and tripe dish, and the cold, spicy potato dish; great to have these flavors and textures in a cold dish. Great contrast to good hot noodle dishes or fried dishes.

Note: there are TWO menu: one in Chinese with many more authentic options and another in English with much less choices. I guess you ought to...read Chinese to get the authentic food here. Do ask for the grilled appetizers: lotus root, chicken skewer, mushrooms, broccoli they are great! Chef also willing to try to accommodate your request: such as less oil, salt etc.

I recommend dining with a group to try a variety of menu items. It can be a bit pricey for just a couple of people as there are so many dishes to explore. I highly suggest asking the server to explain the Chinese menu for a more authentic dining experience. The English menu is standard, but the Chinese menu offers unique and flavorful dishes. If you enjoy spicy food and are open to trying dishes with bones, I recommend trying items from the Chinese menu. Personally, I love the spicy cold beef and tripe dish, as well as the cold, spicy potato dish. The cold dishes offer a refreshing contrast to the hot noodle and fried dishes on the menu.
