Absolutely delicious authentic Chinese cuisine! The fish pot was so good! 10/10. Super flavorful, perfectly spicy, and HUGE servings! The crispy fried pork belly was okay, but I wish it would be a bit more crispy. The sweet lotus root was the best appetizer we tried. Super delicious and refreshing, amazing texture and perfect with the spicy numbing pot. Crispy fried fish skin was flavorful but got a bit oily after 2-3 pieces. The noodles were probably the hardest miss. The texture was too fall apart and the flavor was sorta bland, only vinegar and a bit of sugar. We also got a milk mochi dessert which was crazy good. Probably best dessert I’ve ever had. Let that sink in. Overall, the meal was super enjoyable. Service was also great, helpful and friendly guy! Atmosphere was cozy and nicely decorated. The one thing is that the place is a bit on the expensive side so just keep that in mind. Overall, just great place to have authentic Chinese food!

We got the Combo for 2, with a small pot fish, two side dishes, two rice, and two add-ons. The fish is the best sauerkraut dish I have tried in the DMV. Its tenderness and flavor make the experience enjoyable. The crispy fried pork is one of its kind with the chili powder, and the osmanthus lotus roots are amazing and compliments the spice of the fish very well. The atmosphere is cozy and nicely lit, with very fast service. We would definitely come again!
