Description

The counter menu draws from a daily rotating spread of braised and stir-fried dishes, alongside a pick-your-own self-serve mala dry pot setup. Portions are notably substantial—often stretching into a second meal—with each meal's layout regularly previewed via photos in a dedicated WeChat group.

Diners can eat in the seating area or take food to go, though regular feedback notes clear practical trade-offs: some items lean heavily sauced or overly oily, and takeout packaging can occasionally spill in transit.
