Our experiences here have been getting better and better. Based on several meals, here are some knockouts:
-
The dry hotpot stuff is terrific, with real heat. We’ve had it with various meats, and with fish, and they’ve all been superb. You cannot get all the internal body parts you can get in, say, Queens, but what they do with what they have is every bit as tasty.
-
The sizzling dishes with rice cakes are also surprisingly good. No heat at all, but a lot of flavor. We’ve done chicken mostly, but the lamb was also very good, and – a big plus to them – with different, darker saucing (and if you don’t like darker saucing, then, sorry, you’re no saucerer).
-
The dry sauteed string beans with “bamboo tip” is always terrific.
-
The egg fried rice with invisible scallion is also terrific and also hilarious (order it and tell me if invisibility did not take on new meaning for you).
-
The pan fried egg with soup rivals Shangri La’s “homestyle egg drop”. It eventually falls just short to me, but there’s really no higher praise.
-
The pumpkin cakes are a dessert revelation.
