Fans of noodle soups will appreciate the depth and heartiness of the BBQ Pork Noodle Soup and the comforting layers of the Wonton Soup, made with freshly made wontons stuffed with a delicate blend of ground pork and shrimp.

For those eager to explore unique treats, the café's Sesame Balls (芝麻球)—crispy, fragrant, and filled with peanut and shredded coconut—offer a satisfying sweet finish. The inclusion of special dishes like Sauteed Lamb Meat with Ginger and Green Onion and Fish Slices with Ginger and Green Onion hints at the kitchen’s skill at balancing bold flavors with refinement.

The beverage selection complements the food beautifully, featuring refreshing options such as Cold Brew, traditional Lassi, and classic milk teas—a perfect accompaniment to the spicy, savory, and sweet notes of the menu.
