Our favorite was the fried squab - perfectly crunchy skin but moist on the inside plus the seasoning was well balanced. I'll go back just for this dish. Beef chow fun was too salty and oily. It has potential though because the ingredients were fresh, the beef was excellent, and it had a nice smokey flavor to it. Our least favorite was the chili crisp pighead. The taste of pork was a bit strong for us.
This was by far the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was so inventive and delicious! The snap peas w/tofu dressing was light and crunchy. We had a bottle of delicious sparkling tea that tasted like sparkles. The fried rice had corn and cheese and Chinese sausage and WOW was it awesome. Truly every bite was amazing. It was my birthday dinner and they made it so special, brought out an extra dessert and gave truly fabulous service. The decor feels like a set design, it’s curated but not pretentious. It wasn’t too loud, it was super clean and it’s on a beautiful, picturesque street in SF. Couldn’t recommend more!!
They have a Vegetarian and Vegan menu! It was really helpful to see what adjustments can be made. I got the cucumbers, sichuan cabbage and chow fun noodles. The noodles were amazing, very filling and delicious. I would love to be back when I get a reservation. Space is on the smaller end, but a nice bustling vibe. Definitely go with a reservation, someone on Friday who was walking in at 9pm was given a 2 hour wait time. Wine selection was good too.
Waited in their walk-in line 10min before opening and got seated right away. The black pepper steak and garlic pea shoots were the standouts of the night. The black sesame tofu pudding wasn’t my favorite though - the black sesame paste was too thick and the tofu pudding wasn’t smooth/silky enough which didn’t eat well together. But overall, great flavors.
Snagged a last min reservation and was super excited to try. I’d say overall we enjoyed most of dishes, but like others reviewers said, their food is on the saltier side than the standard saltiness you’d expect eating out. Everything would’ve been great if it was either less salty or less oily. One dish I didn’t care for was the rabbit. The breading was so thick and taking multiple bites didn’t do the trick, so I had to cut it off using a knife.
