About this place
Bite into a xiaolongbao and the soup inside mingles with the dipping sauce—a pleasure you can enjoy as part of a lunch set. Diners have noted that the sets come with xiaolongbao, and some have enjoyed the dumplings alongside noodles. Choose from options such as shrimp pho or pho with steamed chicken. One diner described the shrimp pho as having springy shrimp and noodles with coriander; another said the broth in the steamed-chicken pho was a good match for the noodles and toppings. Crab fried rice is another option, making for a fragrant, rice-centred lunch rather than a set built around a light noodle soup.
Taiwanese tea served in Bizen ware makes a fitting accompaniment. Oriental Beauty tea is described as having the aromas and sweetness of muscat grapes, ripe fruit and honey, and choosing among the teas is part of the experience. The staff-recommended Taiwanese teas come with refills of hot water, a welcome option if you would like to linger over tea after your meal. Some diners have also enjoyed tofu pudding with tapioca, walnuts and jelly. Whether you’re after a leisurely lunch of dim sum and tea or a more substantial meal of pho or fried rice, there are different ways to put together a meal here.
