The house favourites

What to order

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

  • Spicy stir-fried clams (辣炒蛤蜊)
  • Braised mackerel (家常烧鲅鱼)
  • Sea snail in scallion oil (油爆海螺)

What it actually tastes like

Shells and bones left in throughout. Strong vinegar in the cold dishes, which is standard across Shandong.

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.
