The tight dining room fills up quickly, making this a better fit for small pairings than spontaneous groups, though larger tables are tucked downstairs. Plates like the stir-fry pork bacon, mapo tofu, and pork intestine arrive in oversized, shareable servings that skew toward the pricier side. Diners should brace for impact: the kitchen does not hold back on spice, which registers clearly even when you order the mildest level. To cool down after the burn, meals finish with a complimentary bowl of sweet bingfen.
