Why come here

A place worth making time for

No. 5 on Ctrip's Kunming must-visit food list, rated 4.3

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Stinky tofu rice noodles in a crock (臭豆腐米线)
  • Yunnan grilled tofu (烧豆腐)
  • Fried potato cakes (洋芋粑粑)

What it actually tastes like

Fermented tofu smells strongly of ammonia before you eat it and tastes much milder than it smells — but the smell is a genuine barrier for first-timers. Order it knowingly.

Allergens in this kitchen

soygluten/wheatsesamepeanut

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.
