What to order
Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.
What it actually tastes like
Served cold or barely warm, strongly vinegared, with crushed peanut and raw coriander. Erkuai is a dense pressed rice cake, chewier than anything comparable in the West — it is grilled flat and smeared with sauce, or sliced and fried.
Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
