Michelin one star, MICHELIN Guide Fujian 2026 (retained); Jiahe Road branch only.

The house favourites

What to order

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

  • Buddha Jumps Over the Wall (佛跳墙)
  • Minnan prawn noodles in tomalley soup (闽南虾面)
  • Black sesame glutinous cake made to order (黑麻糬)

What it actually tastes like

Rich, briny seafood stocks and shrimp-head tomalley. Fujian restaurants may use peanut or sacha in other dishes; ask. Do not confuse with other Yanyu branches, which are not starred.

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.
