This was my first time visiting for dinner. It seems there was a cancellation on the day, so I was able to make a reservation. I’ve been here for lunch before, so I was looking forward to it. To sum it up, every dish was exquisite and offered a variety of flavors that I enjoyed until the very end.The stir-fried water spinach topped with abalone had a taste reminiscent of Japanese-style water spinach stir-fry. It had a gentle seasoning with a generous amount of broth that was delicious to sip. The water spinach was surprisingly crunchy.The shrimp mayonnaise was quite impactful, the chinjao rosu (stir-fried beef and bell peppers) was topped with marbled meat, and the amount of hairy crab in the fried rice was impressive.The sweet and sour pork with black vinegar that I ordered additionally had a crispy exterior and tender inside, perfectly complemented by the glossy black vinegar sauce—it was absolutely delicious. I was glad to be able to try the sweet and sour pork, which seemed to differ slightly in meat type and sauce from the lunch version.For lunch, you can choose between spicy and non-spicy dishes, so I thought there might be some spicy options, but thankfully, they were only mildly spicy, which was a relief since I'm not very good with spicy food. I was very satisfied with the dinner experience. It was a great meal!
