What to Order

Handmade Pork & Chive Dumplings

Silky, tender wrappers encase savory pork and fresh chives, steamed or pan-seared to a golden finish.

Fragrant, charred lamb tossed with cumin and chilies for an addictive, aromatic crunch.

Dan Dan Gnocchi

A playful cross-cultural riff — pillowy gnocchi glazed in numbing Sichuan pepper sauce and crunchy aromatics.
