Celebrated by the likes of James Beard, Food & Wine, Zagat, Bon Appetit & GQ, this is clearly not someone to be missed. Now, onto the eats!!
CHILI PICKED TURNIPS AND LONG BEANS (4)
White Soy, Cumin, Chili Vinegar
SMASHED CUCUMBERS IN GARLIC SAUCE (4)
Salted Chili, Sesame Paste, Fresh Coriander
We started off the meal with a few small nibbles, the long beans were a touch on the vinegary side for a first bite, but as the food progressed I certainly appreciated a bite or two to cool off my mouth. The smashed cucumbers on the other hand were phenomenal! I think I could have easily eaten a plate full of em and called it a day! Well worth the snackage.
MAPO TOFU (12.5)
Pork Shoulder, Doubanjiang, Sichuan Pepper
Jared's "must have" when ordering, this was silky and delicious but MAN was it spicy. Being the little lightweight that I am, I could only manage through a few bites before I had to stop.
SALT COD FRIED RICE (11)
Slow Cooked Mackerel, Chinese Sausage, Lettuce, Egg
When ordering the Mapo Tofu, you MUST order this delicious rice dish as well. Unless your stomach is lined with wildfire you'll appreciate the salty sweet of this dish to offset. The fish flavor was very light and paired perfectly with the slightly sweet & smoky Chinese sausage.
KUNG PAO PASTRAMI (11)
Peanuts, Celery, Potato, Explosive Chili
Like I said earlier, FAVORITE DISH. And surprisingly not nearly as spicy as the Tofu, even with the words "explosive chili" in the title. Then again, I mostly ate the Pastrami & Peanuts, skipping the bright red peppers when possible. Truly an amazing plate of food and one I'd come back for time & time again.
LAMB CHEEK DUMPLINGS IN RED OIL (8)
Black Vinegar, Rock Sugar, Peanuts, Numbing Peppercorn
Very solid dumpling dish, the lamb cheeks were tender and flavorful, the broth a perfect vinegary spice and the dumpling wrappers very light. But with everything else the menu had to offer, this was just a good dish, not great.
THRICE COOKED BACON (11.5)
Shanghainese Rice Cakes, Tofu Skin, Bitter Melon, Chili Oil
Another one of those "must gets" when coming. For anyone who's never tried a rice cake before, this is the perfect dish to pop your rice cake cherry. The chewy cakes mixed with the smoky & meaty bacon and the spicy chili oil was a perfect combination. We did find ourselves dipping the rice cakes into the leftover Smashed Cucumber sauce which was also amazing.
"MOUTH WATERING" CHICKEN (9)
Chicken Terrine, Dry Spiced Chicken Hearts, Vegetable Noodles
The next morning my friend IM's me... "when did we get chicken hearts?!" The answer was here. A cold and refreshing dish, this was very delicate & complex in flavor. It was a nice unexpected treat!
TEA SMOKED EEL (9)
Pulled Pork Trotter, Chinese Celery, Cheung Fun, Crispy Fish Skin
By this point in the evening we were already stuffed to the brim but there were two more dishes that we HAD to try. The Tea Smoked Eel was a nice and light ending to the dinner (granted we probably should have ordered it as an appetizer.) Good but nothing super special here.
SAVORY EGG CUSTARD (13)
Sea Urchin, Trout Roe, Apple, Citron
And finally, we ended on the Savory Egg Custard which was just... WOW. Wow wow wow is all I can say. If you go, definitely treat yourself to one of these.

You had me at bacon.
