Description
The dining experience here divides visitors, centering on a 2017 Michelin recommendation that some feel has lost its luster. Diners who enjoy the kitchen at its best praise the balanced, flavorful heat of the spicy dishes, which delivers kick without blinding the palate, alongside the popular scallion fried rice. However, others report inconsistent execution, citing sweet pork belly, overly salty cumin lamb served on foil, and a mapo tofu that lacks its signature numbing spice. Service can lean toward the indifferent.
